Case #020 - The Lady Of The Dunes

Welcome to Episode Twenty of Do You Dare?

 

Join us this week as Cian talks us through a case that took investigators over fifty years just to give the victim back her name but now has developed into possibly even identifying her killer…

 

(Trigger Warning's for Sexual Assault, Possible domestic violence.)

 

In this episode Cian takes a look at the case of Ruth Marie Terry, who spent many years better known to the public as ‘The Lady of the Dunes.’  This week we travel to Massachusetts for what was one of the most well known Jane Doe cases around and we look at how, thanks to advances in technology and the use of genetic genealogy, they were finally able to give Ruth back her name. 

We then explore how finding her identity may have led investigators straight to her killer and the possible person behind that has a wild background all of his own.

 

Thanks to everyone who has joined us for this week's interesting case and we hope to see you back next Tuesday as Em digs into one of the most intriguing unsolved disappearances that to this day remains a mystery of unanswered questions.
