‘Lady of the Dunes’ identified nearly 50 years after dead woman found on beach

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Investigators have identified the ‘Lady of the Dunes,’ a victim whose body was found naked and mutilated on the beach almost 50 years ago.

In July 1974, Ruth Marie Terry was found about a mile east of a ranger station on the shore near Provincetown, Massachusetts. She was discovered by a 12-year-old girl on a hiking trip with her parents.

Her cause of death was determined to be a blow to the head. The left side of her skull was ‘severely crushed,’ and her entire head was almost completely severed from her body.

Investigators believe she was killed weeks before her body was dumped on Cape Cod.
