The Hudson Valley Cold Cases and Missing People Facebook page is shining the light on a 44-year-old unsolved murder. What happened to Jeanne Ann Tram?

Cornwall, New York Mother Goes Missing in 1980

Jeanne Ann Tram was just about to turn 27 in July of 1980 and at the time, Tram was living with her parents and her young son in Cornwall, New York.

Many of Tram's friends share with the HV Cold Case team stories about how sweet, kind, and great friend she was. The 26-year-old was described as "innocent and a bit shy" but had a smile that could light up a room and make anyone feel welcome.

Sadly, that all changed on the night of July 25th, 1980. That evening Tram was last seen around 11 pm at the Shannon Ale House in Newburgh, New York. Tram's family would be forever changed after that night.

According to Hudson Valley Cold Cases on Facebook, Tram's body was found days later on July 28th, 1980.  A man driving to work discovered her "naked and bruised body" against a fence between I-84 and a small factory at the time known as Fakton Iron Work.

The next few pieces of information could be disturbing to some readers.

Tram was found lying face down, where her body was beaten, choked, bit and raped. She had abrasions on her chin, neck, breast, chest, lower abdomen and upper thighs. There were also cuts found on her hands, chest, and thighs. Bite marks were found on her breast.

Since that day in 1980, there have been no updates in the case, leaving Jeanne Ann Trams' family wondering who could do this to their daughter, sister, and mother and why.

At the time of her death, Jeanne Ann Tram had a DWI arrest on her record and was known as a regular at the Shannon Ale House in Newburgh and Tom Foolery Inn in Cornwall.

However, her arrest had scared her so she no longer drove on nights she drank. Tram was known to walk or get rides, even from people she may not have known.
