The Mystery of The Lady of the Dunes

The Lady of the Dunes remains one of Cape Cod’s most haunting mysteries, but years after her body was found in 1974, a surprising theory surfaced: could she have appeared as an extra in the movie Jaws? With the blockbuster filming nearby at the same time, author (and son of Stephen King) Joe Hill spotted a woman onscreen who seemed eerily similar to the unidentified victim. The idea sparked national fascination, especially when the cold case was solved in 2022.   Follow us: IG, FB   Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorwoodpodcast   Send us an email: horrorwoodpodcast@gmail.com   Episode Sources: “'Lady of the Dunes' Ruth Marie Terry killed by husband Guy Muldavin in 1974, investigators conclude” by WBZ-News Staff, August 28, 2023, CBS News “Who Was the Lady of the Dunes?
