With the new technology available today, detectives are optimistic that they can piece together the missing puzzle pieces and bring justice to Trudeau and his family.
The Franklin Police Department is urging anyone with information related to the case to come forward and provide any details that could assist in solving this decades-old mystery. With the use of new technology and a dedicated investigative team, there is hope that the long-standing cold case may finally be solved, providing closure for the community and justice for the victim.
