One of the most famous cold cases in US history has finally been solved!
Back in July 1974, a female body was discovered in the dunes about one mile off Race Point Road in Provincetown, Massachusetts. She was found facedown and naked on a beach blanket with her head resting on a pair of folded jeans. There was no weapon in sight, but she had sustained a serious injury, leaving her head nearly decapitated. Yikes! Her hands were also missing; authorities believed this had been done so cops couldn’t fingerprint her. Jeez.
It worked for some time as her identity was unknown for decades — she was known only as “The Lady of the Dunes.” For 48 years, she was “the oldest, unidentified victim in Massachusetts” until the Boston Division of the FBI finally IDed her last October: Ruth Marie Terry, estimated to have died at age 37. And now, after all this time, we know who killed her.
On Monday, the Cape and Islands District Attorney Robert Galibois declared Ruth was murdered by her husband, Guy Rockwell Muldavin. Damn. It’s always the husband, isn’t it…

According to the DA’s report, Muldavin, who died in 2002, was also the “prime suspect” in the deaths of another wife and stepdaughter in the Seattle, Washington area in 1960. It’s unfortunate justice can’t be fully served, but an answer to this mystery is better than nothing!
This case has boggled minds for decades and has sparked many
