BOSTON (AP) — Authorities in Massachusetts, who earlier this week said they had finally identified the so-called “Lady of the Dunes,” the woman whose mutilated body was found on Cape Cod in 1974, are now looking for information about a former Seattle man she may have married.
The late Guy Muldavin is believed to have married Ruth Terry in February 1974, just a few months before the 37-year-old Terry’s body was found in Provincetown, according to law enforcement officials.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the whereabouts of Terry or Muldavin in New England in 1973 or 1974 to contact them.
Muldavin, described as an antiques dealer, was a suspect in the deaths of a previous wife and a stepdaughter in Seattle in 1960. He was caught in New York City and charged with “unlawful flight.” He died in California in 2002.
The death of the “Lady of the Dunes” was one of the most enduring and frustrating murder mysteries in Massachusetts history.
