A woman found dead on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 1974 has been identified nearly 50 years later using “investigative genealogy”
A woman found dead on Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1974 has been identified nearly 50 years later using “investigative genealogy,” Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R. Bonavolonta announced Monday. Previously dubbed the “Lady of the Dunes” due to her being found in the sand dunes in Provincetown, authorities identified her as Ruth Marie Terry, 37. Prior to her identification, she was the oldest unidentified homicide victim in the state of Massachusetts, Bonavolonta said.
The FBI Boston Field Office said in a news release Terry’s hands were “presumably removed by the killer so she could not be identified through fingerprints.” Bonavolonta, who was joined at a news conference with representatives from the Massachusetts State Police, Provincetown Police, Massachusetts U.S. Attorney’s Office, and the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office, also said their investigation will now turn to finding Terry’s killer.
