WEST BEND (WITI) — 19-year-old Jessie Blodgett was found dead in her home more than a week ago, and now, her death is being investigated as a homicide.
Court documents show Hartford police are investigating Blodgett’s death as a homicide, and it’s what friends suspected from the very beginning.
“It’s shocking. It’s unsettling. It certainly rattles the emotions of everyone who knew her. We just miss her so much, and we’re sad to lose her. No one ever expects a 19-year-old just to suddenly be gone,” Jerry Becker, Blodgett’s theater director said.
Blodgett’s body was found in her bedroom on Monday, July 15th.
The young actress had just wrapped up a performance of Fiddler on the Roof.
According to a search warrant, Blodgett had gone to a cast party following a Sunday matinée. Her mother remembers her coming home after 1:00 a.m. Monday.
It’s a party Becker attended as well.
“It was a very relaxed, happy, loving group of people, who had a fabulous time,” Becker said.
The search warrant says her mother placed clothing in Blodgett’s room around 8:00 a.m., and discovered her daughter in bed alone. However, the girl’s mother didn’t notice whether she was alive.
Blodgett’s mother left for work, and returned after noon. That’s when she discovered her daughter deceased.
“It’s just hard to imagine. It certainly unsettles everyone and makes everyone feel sad,” Becker said.
Police found a ligature mark on Blodgett’s neck, but nothing in her room or home that would make that mark.
Now, those who knew Blodgett are hopeful the investigation will lead to answers, and closure.
” I certainly hope justice comes to her memory,” Becker said.
No official cause of death has been determined. The Medical Examiner says it could take more than a month, pending toxicology tests.
Hartford police say they will not comment on the documents at this time.

She wasn't a famous actress from movies or tv. She was in The Fiddler on the Roof. The production was part of a school program or like community theatre. It's so strange that she made it home from the cast party and her mother didn't notice she was dead until the afternoon. Until then she thought she was sleeping in. So I guess someone snuck in her window to kill her? I dunno. I hope they find who did it. I guess the person of interest is the older man who was also at the cast party.

But how did she get home? I thought I read her mother saw her come home, but I could be wrong. I'll check.

Horrible, she gets cut down at the start of a possible movie career.
