Mary Susan Humphrey was last seen by friends on Friday, May 30, 1980 in Valdosta, Georgia after leaving Grego’s, which was a popular night club in the 80’s, with a male she met that night. Humphrey was a Moody Air Force Base Airman First Class assigned as an air traffic controller who lived off base near Walker’s Crossing. Humphrey left the bar and went to the man’s apartment off Forrest Street in Valdosta. The man told officers that Humphrey wanted to go home around 3:00 a.m. and she left his apartment walking down Forrest Street near Park Avenue.
Humphrey was a white female, 23 YOA, with red hair, stood 5’3” tall and weighed 128 pounds. Humphrey was originally from Lenexa, Kansas and was stationed at Moody Air Force Base. Humphrey was last seen wearing a long sleeve burgundy in color shirt and dark colored slacks.
On Sunday, June 15, 1980, Humphrey’s body was discovered about 50 feet off a dirt road known as Old Willacoochee Road or more commonly called Double Bridge Road in Berrien County by a group of men running their hunting dogs.
The investigation led law enforcement at the time to arrest a former boyfriend of Humphrey. He was tried and acquitted by a Berrien County Jury on October 10, 1980.
The GBI Douglas Office is asking for any assistance or information from the public which would lead to the identity of the person(s) responsible for the murder of Mary Susan Humphrey.

On Wednesday, April 25, 1990, at 1:30pm, the bodies of Robert M. Woody and his wife Patricia Ann Woody were found in their single family home on Rudy York Road just outside the city limits of Cartersville.
The bodies were discovered by Robert's employer who had gone to the home when Robert failed to show up for work that morning.

The Woody's were last seen alive at 11pm the previous evening, Tuesday, April 24, 1990, when they left a friend's residence in Patricia Woody's car.

Morrow Police Department, Morrow, Georgia
The victim was discovered on April 18, 2002 in a lake in Reynolds Nature Preserve in Morrow, Clayton County, Georgia. At the time the victim was unidentified. In July of 2006, as a result of work on a 4-year-old missing person's case by a detective with the Decatur Police Department in consultation with the GBI's Intelligence Unit, the body was positively identified by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Medical Examiner's Office as 48-year-old Decatur resident Christine Allen.
Allen was a file clerk for an Atlanta law firm who was reported missing to Decatur Police by her roommate on April 19, 2002. The roommate hadn't seen her since April 12 and started to worry. An Autopsy determined Allen's death to be a homicide.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the Morrow Police Department at 770-961-4006 or the GBI Tip Line at 1-800-597-TIPS (8477).
