The Disappearance and Murder of Kitty Wardwell

from Murder, She Told · host Kristen Seavey | Daylight Media

Holden, Maine - 1983 In the summer of 1983, Kitty Collins Wardwell vanished after a fight with her much older boyfriend and business partner, Francis ‘Frank’ Julian. Kitty was only weeks away from turning 30—ambitious, full of plans, and then, without warning... she disappeared. For years, her family searched and speculated. Rumors spread, and the truth seemed to slip further away with every passing year. What began as a missing person’s case soon unraveled into something darker. But time has a way of surfacing what’s been hidden—even when someone goes to great lengths to keep it buried.
