We're back after a month off! And we've got a bananas one for you this month. Join Krystal, David, and Lauren as we discuss the disappearance and murder of Ruth Marie Terry, also known as The Lady of the Dunes-the former coldest cold case in Massachusetts. It's due to amazing technological advances and police work that after nearly 50 years Ruth Marie was identified and returned to her family.

This case contains topics including domestic violence. If you or someone you know feels unsafe, call the Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE or go to thehotline.org. You matter and we love you.
