In the quiet community of Fairfax Station, Virginia, the life of 33-year-old Judith Carol Hofferman took a mystifying turn on March 3, 1980. On that day, she was last seen at her residence, a comfortable home on several wooded acres that she had reportedly helped build with an inheritance. Married to a local attorney and a mother to two young children, a son around the age of seven and a daughter about five, Judith's life appeared to be rooted in the familiar rhythms of family and home. She was known for her love of animals, raising parrots and pedigreed cats, and even keeping a goat. The last known sighting of Judith was at her house before she seemingly drove away in her 1971 Volkswagen. The initial known details of Judith's disappearance are sparse. She left her home and, at some point afterward, her vehicle was discovered abandoned in the parking lot of National Airport. This discovery added a perplexing layer to the investigation, suggesting a departure, but leaving no trail as to her intended destination or if she ever boarded a flight. The circumstances surrounding her leaving her home and the subsequent discovery of her car have left her family and investigators with more questions than answers. Foul play is suspected in her disappearance. Despite the passage of decades, the case of Judith Hofferman remains unsolved, with few details available to the public. Since she vanished, there has been no activity on her Social Security number or credit cards. The lack of any new evidence or leads has left her case cold, a lingering question in the annals of Virginia's missing persons. The overview of her case is a stark and troubling one: a young mother who disappeared from her home, her car later found at an airport, with no further trace of her whereabouts. The narrative of what happened to Judith Hofferman after she left her home on that late winter day in 1980 remains an unfinished story, a void in the lives of those she left behind.
