I know about her because of jaws
God bless these officers out there for bringing justice to her and protecting us from scum
If she was a wife and mother from TN, the real question is what was she doing in Massachusetts? Sounds like she abandoned her family and went with some crazed guy. That is the only explanation. Women only abruptly leave for that type of stuff.
The same technology used to identify her should be used on the Isdal Woman cold case.
She died a terrible death skull bashed in hands removed her parents probably died never knowing what happened to her.50 years later tells family but no suspect as of now.
But they can't figure out hunter's laptop or Seth riches murder. FBI are democrat lapdogs.
I thought they found the killer. It took them all these years just to figure out who she was?!
One American dies every 8 minutes because of fentanyl coming in Freely
So was she the chick that was an extra on the movie jaws that was being filmed there around the same time? Buzz feed did a piece on this case.
Whitey
Maybe ot was ted bundy who killed her
No one reported her missing?
Now that they know who she is they will find the culprit. It might have been an ex lover or someone she knew.
We had a similar case in western WI in the 80s. I don't think they identified her either, or caught anyone.
It's good to see families and friends find closure.
Her killer is likely dead now too since it’s been 50 years
That's good, finally. Now, how about that Swedish nanny who was found in Boston? That girl was.. harmed.

Sad closure for her family, but good that there is finally closure. I hope they can find her killer.
