Law enforcement and the N.C. Office of Chief Medical Examiner have been notified and are investigating, as required in these circumstances. The Department of Adult Correction is cooperating fully and conducting its own investigation.
Judy was a pre-trial offender being housed as a safe-keeper for Buncombe County.
