Ep. 167: The Lady of the Dunes

A mysterious woman found mutilated in the sands of Provincetown, MA in 1974 set off decades of investigations to determine who she was, and how she had met her grisly fate. This week, Hannah tells Katy about the Lady of the Dunes, and all the various theories about who she is, where she came from, and what happened to her. From mob bosses and serial killers, to badass runaways, and movie extras, the girls discuss them all, and talk about why they are or aren't plausible. Plus, they eat cake and drink prosecco, just because.

So get your own cake and celebratory drink (find something to celebrate!) and join us for this Unsolved Mystery!
