    Hi Dr Grande, my mother had transient global amnesia when we found out my dad had less than 24 hours to live. She was distressed and in front of our eyes forgot everything. She knew who she was and who we were but nothing else. I have been a nurse for 20 years and never seen anything like it. She came back to reality around 12 hours later in the ED she thought she had been asleep. She still can't remember the incident.

      @@michelleshephard9690 Such a terrible situation. So sad for your mother! Sadly, I can relate, to an extent. My mother went to the hospital, with a biliary duct problem. She needed a Stent put in. Minor procedure. In doing that, they found cancer. She didn't want treatment as it was so advanced. She passed about 11 or 12 days later. It's been awhile, now, but, like you, (I'm guessing) I don't wish it on anyone. I think the more things you go through, or see, like that, the more accepting and patient of others you become.

    I always find it strange when cops make excuses to not look for someone. "She must be having a midlife crisis." Does that even happen often enough that they can just dismiss things? I feel like even if they think someone left of their own accord, they need to look into it in case it's a mental health episode.

    What an odd story. You have to wonder how the husband contextualized the entire situation during the time he was alive. He knew whether he did it or not (which I think is unlikely), which means he had to come up with reasons why she left and I would imagine it haunted him every waking moment.

With that being a new rule, I can see how that could have slipped her mind. Beyond that, this case is just puzzling.

      Thank you for that information. It's actually "easy" to forget one's driver's license if one is not the one driving...usually men do the driving to the airport, etc. so he would automatically have his for that reason. One time I've forgotten my license when my husband was driving me to the airport, thankfully discovered shortly after leaving home and we had to turn back, and I consider myself a fairly educated person. If you are rushing to get to the airport and you're not going to be doing any of the driving...it's not hard to forget.

She met up with the wrong person and the rest is history.

    This is one of my pet cases. I was always of the opinion that she left because she and Jeffrey were arguing. There's the flight issue, she brings flowers because she knew he was upset, and then he goes to breakfast alone, and says she remarked that she could go to breakfast as she was (naked in the shower). This sounds like a sarcastic remark. Maybe he was complaining that she wasn't ready on time. I think she decided to take off since they weren't getting along and just assumed he would realize that. I don't put much weight in the sightings, especially, people in NC five months after she disappeared. How are you going to remember that she came into a store and bought sandwiches and a toy truck. Nobody knew to be looking for her in NC at the time. It would seem she ran into someone who took advantage of her on the trail. The biggest question is how she got to NC -- there doesn't seem to be any record of her renting a car, flying, taking a bus, etc. Did she run into someone while in Philly who offered her a ride to Asheville with the promise that he would return a couple days later? Very bizarre story.

    • @vikramgupta2326
      @vikramgupta2326 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The part about no record of her obtaining transportation to NC takes me back to perhaps it was a hired killer after all. And did police ever search her computer for any searches that might have yielded a clue? Of course internet was still relatively new. I just don't have enough information on this case to formulate a good theory. While Dr. G's are very interesting and informative, he basically gives you an "Executive Summary". A lot of times important details are not included.

    I've thought about this case quite a bit and I have an idea you missed, well not exactly missed but is a combination of theories unconsidered. I think she had plans to hook up with someone she met online (doesn't have to be online, may have met in person once in a bar or at some other place. The recklessness with which she carried out her plan is consistent with someone who is bipolar (speaking from first-hand knowledge). The public masterbation suggests to me a heightened sense of arousal (also a bipolar thing, first-hand knowledge).....she was purposeful with her odd behaviour but her bipolar disorder made it difficult for her to fully flesh out the plan she was trying to execute. Maybe she didn't care if she got caught. Maybe she knew her husband loved her enough that even the most sloppy excuse would be enough for him to ignore the obvious. Her online date was thrilling and was unable to be resisted and put her in a state of abandon. Her "date" saw how easy she was to manipulate and how sexualized she was and he convinced her to join him in a crazy adventure and likely instructed her on how she could pull off their date without anyone finding out...and this date ultimately killed her. I think if police had the insight to get into her computer there would have been something there that would have led to evidence of an online relationship. It didn't even have to be online, it could have been just a few meetings; but, something about him made him irresistible, dangerous, fantastical. I don't know exactly how she intended to explain away her absence to her husband when she came back after her adventure, but I know I come up with some crazy shit that makes perfect sense when I'm in a manic phase. This date likely intended on killing her so wasn't concerned about what she was going to say to get back with her husband. His only concern was that she keep the hook up a secret which I'm sure she was on board with. Maybe he didn't intend to kill her but she acted all crazy because she wanted him and he was having none of it because he was just in it for a crazy piece of ass (the best kind, so I'm told), where she was thinking about running away to the moon with him and he had something to lose.....along those lines. Had she not been in a manic, hyper-sexualized state, I'm sure she would have sensed the danger; but, with the state she was in, all that mattered was the thrill. I know this sounds crazy; but, I think there is a small chance that she consented to the killing. I know that sounds crazy to someone who isn't bipolar, but I am, and I have had that thought once before. I was in a manic phase and I wanted to be with a particular man sexually to such a degree that I would have consented if he wanted to kill me just to be with him one time. I know that sound absolutely INSANE, but trust me, it is possible in a bipolar mind. Just so no one is worried, I make sure I now take my medication EVERY DAY, no excuses. It was a terrifying experience I would never want to repeat, even though it felt like the most exciting thing I had ever experienced in my life and that everything else meant nothing to me, nothing mattered but having him one time. I'm opk now and lead a normal, uneventful life.

    Thank you, Dr Grande. This provided some illumination to an experience I had with a gentleman I was dating in Los Angeles. He disappeared for a few days and was out of radio contact with me, his family and work associates. Over several days I called hospitals and his family was searching for him as well. He reappeared after 3 days, disheveled and missing items of clothing like his shoes and a cap he frequently wore. He stated he had been walking around K-Town, slipping into little bars and such as well as underground parking. At one point he realized what he was doing and hoofed it back to his apartment. He was a modestly notable artist and everyone just sort of accepted it as part of his "genius".

    Thank you for covering this bizarre and fascinating case! I believe that Judy had a mental break of some sort and then met with foul play. Is it possible for conditions like bipolar disorder to appear out of the blue? I've listened to several podcasts about this case and remember hearing that Judy didn't have any history of mental health issues. This is one of those cases where no one theory makes 100% perfect sense.
    I'd also suggest looking into the Asha Degree case. It's another 'mysterious journey' case that took place in North Carolina. Asha's case is about on par with Judy's in terms of strangeness.

      @sorrelbee113 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yes- bipolar disorder most typically develops around late adolescence through early adulthood, but it can appear at any point in the lifespan.
      It's also possible that Judy had undiagnosed, possibly subclinical symptoms which went unnoticed (some people have no idea they have a diagnosable condition for years or decades, and the people around them may consider symptoms just a part of their personality) and this was the "big break," so to speak, where it finally became very noticeable.

    "Judy Smith, By the Numbers": In these remarks we will look at various numerical values and question the mathematics that makes it possible to figure these situations. The term "figure" I borrow from rhetoric which analyzes the usage of language in its figurative dimensions. Numbers begin to figure immediately when we recall that Judy Smith was born in 12/15/1946, none of which are prime numbers. This is important when you want to break down the parts of any number. She was married "twice" and that is prime. In the first marriage there were no children, but number 2 produced 2 children which is 4. April 9 to 11 presents one prime number, eleven. We do find a prime number in the "third" marriage. 3 is of course prime. (We are not informed about the number of days they would be in New Jersey.) Ordinal numbers occur with "the first" meeting of the day. Searching for Judy occurred "a few times." That is not a satisfactory explanation, but waiting for 24 hours is important because that's not prime either (2x4x3). "None of the clothes" registers as zero. $500-$200=$300 dollars. Once again the prime number 3: speaking in tongues to herself, the Emperor will wire me money, and masturbating in front of an open window. Noticed at 3 p.m., another prime number. I think we're all primed now.

She had never dated - being shy & introverted, then randomly got married & moved to Canada. The marriage was brief.
