Who Was the Lady In the Dunes?

One of the most enduring mysteries in Provincetown is that of the "Lady In the Dunes..."

In 1974, the body of a young woman was found out by Race Point, the cause of death was blunt trauma, her face disfigured and her hands had been removed. For over 30 years she has remained unidentified and her killer has never been found.

Now they have done a computer reconstruction of what her face most likely looked like, in the hopes that someone may finally identify her. Once they find out who she was, they may have a chance in bringing her murderer to justice.

I can remember that when I lived there, three years later, everyone in town had an opinion about who she was and who might have caused her death and the Lady In the Dunes was still big news. Some were even convinced that her ghost haunted that lonely and beautiful place.

Here's an article I came across yesterday, followed by the computer-generated image:

The Cape Cod Times

Perhaps at last the mystery will be solved and her spirit may finally find rest.
