Secrets from the Grave

Before she died, she scribbled a note. Her killer stripped away everything that could identify her — but missed that scrap of paper in her pocket. She was beautiful, well-dressed, seen at a glamorous Manhattan red carpet party hours before she died — then discarded on a remote stretch of highway, with a tan she couldn't have gotten in a New York winter. Forty-three years later, no mother, no sister, no daughter has ever come forward to claim her. In this episode, we reveal the breakthroughs that have this cold case closer to cracking than ever — and the new bombshell: six more women, one secret life, and the road that connects them all.

Before she died, she scribbled a note. Her killer stripped away everything that could identify her — but missed that scrap of paper in her pocket.

She was beautiful, well-dressed, seen at a glamorous Manhattan red carpet party hours before she died — then discarded on a remote stretch of highway, with a tan she couldn't have gotten in a New York winter. Forty-three years later, no mother, no sister, no daughter has ever come forward to claim her.

In this episode, we reveal the breakthroughs that have this cold case closer to cracking than ever — and the new bombshell: six more women, one secret life, and the road that connects them all.
