In 2017, she expanded her mission to include Butler County cases and has now expanded to Montgomery County in an effort to help generate information to solve cold cases throughout the Cincinnati/Dayton corridor.
A retiring Dayton detective returned some cards to Dudley featuring Montgomery County cases that were not utilized in jails and she has created three posters, one that also includes some Butler County unsolved homicide and missing persons cases.
“We know people travel the Cincinnati/Dayton corridor often and someone in Hamilton or Butler County may have information about a case in Montgomery County. We want to get the word out and make sure people see the faces of victims. I can tell you someone was murdered, but seeing their face changes everything,” Dudley said.
She knows first hand the pain families go through waiting for a loved one’s case to be solved because her son, Daniel “Chaz” Dudley’s homicide remains unsolved.
“We all know that the sensational headlines of tragic homicides fade over time. Police will begin investigating the newest criminal activities. But we the families still remember. Every birthday passes. Every holiday missed. There is always an empty chair at the table. Those that have committed these heinous crimes have altered the lives of many family members and friends. Wherever these criminals may be I am sure they feel they have gotten away with their cowardice acts. UCanSpeakForMe will use whatever legal tools available to find these unconscionable offences. Our mission is to discover closure and justice for families by working with local law enforcement,” Dudley said.
Dudley said anyone interested in a poster can contact her at 513-404-3063 or on her Facebook page.
