Circumstances of Discovery
The victim's partial skeleton was found in wooded area near the Charlie Brown Airport.

Gerald Patrick Lewis, who has been in custody for several years, admitted to having killed and left a white female in this area in 1993 or 1994; some of these reported facts are consistent with observations made at the scene and in the examination of the remains.

Lewis claims that she was picked up at The Alamo on Metropolitan Parkway (formerly Stewart Avenue) and recalls that she may have been called "Bodine" or "Bodean".

She frequented the Alamo motel on Stewart Avenue preceding her death.

Merge if already a thread. Couldn't find one in a search.

From unidentifed wiki,
"Years after being arrested and convicted, Gerald Lewis confessed to her killing. He told authorities she was a woman possible named "Bodine" or "Bodean" who frequented the Alamo Hotel on Metropolitan Parkway (formerly Stewart Avenue) he encountered around 1993 or 1994. "Before she got in the car she said she had to run in her motel room real quick," Lewis said. "Something about making sure her son was OK." After a sexual encounter, he drove to a dirt pit off a runaway at the airport. He made her get out of the car, pinned her against a tree, raped her at knifepoint, and stabbed her thirty to forty times. Lewis later said, "She didn't even cry or anything. It was kind of strange."

Lewis' statements coincided with the facts the police knew about the crime scene. In total, Lewis confessed to seven murders in Georgia, Alabama, and Massachusetts before his death on July 25, 2009."

The info on checking on her son seems like something that might generate a lead. Could they check DCS records from that time for a child that was abandoned at a motel? There has to be a record of child abandonment or something similar. Her son would be an adult now who might remember.

The child was likely left in the care of a friend, who might not have been too surprised when Mom left with a customer but did not return?

Or -- was the 'son' a ruse, so this person could let a friend know she was leaving with a customer?

Any records remain from the Alamo Hotel?

Denise Beaudin would be a stretch, right?

To survive one serial killer and get killed by another sounds unlikely, but I just thought the last names were similar.

Boudin is a type of Cajun sausage with meat, rice, and seasonings that is popular in Louisiana. There are many recipes with variations such as adding crawfish. Maybe "Bodeen" was her nickname because she liked that type of food and she was from Louisiana? The SK was probably spelling it the way he heard it said, not the actual spelling. Boudreaux is a very common last name in Louisiana, There is also Bowdoin, as in the college.
