Trafalgar woman drowns in pond

The body of a missing Trafalgar woman was quickly found in a pond on her property. The Johnson County Sheriff’s Department says that deputies were called to a home in the 7800 block of South Sawmill Court at about 1:45 p.m. on Thursday to assist Trafalgar Fire Medics.

Deputies arrived as medics were performing CPR on the woman on the rear boat dock of the property. The victim, 73-year-old Judith Metcalfe, had reportedly been suffering from Dementia and wandered off.

While the death is not considered suspicious, Johnson County officials say an autopsy will take place.
