Lady of the Dunes (also known as Lady in the Dunes) is the nickname for an unidentified murder victim discovered on July 26, 1974, in the Race Point Dunes in Provincetown, Massachusetts, United States.[2][3] Her body was exhumed in 1980, 2000, and 2013[4] in efforts to identify her and her killer; to date, these efforts have been unsuccessful.
Jaws film extra possibility
In August 2015, speculation arose that Lady of the Dunes may have been an extra in the 1975 film Jaws, which had been shot on Martha's Vineyard (specifically the village of Menemsha), about 100 miles (160 km) south of Provincetown, between May and October 1974.[26] Joe Hill, the son of horror author Stephen King, brought this to police attention after reading The Skeleton Crew: How Amateur Sleuths are Solving America's Coldest Cases just weeks before. While watching the film's Fourth of July beach scene, Hill spotted a woman in the crowd wearing a blue bandana and jeans, similar to those found with the body.[26] Although a lead investigator has noted interest in this lead, others have described it as "far-fetched" and "wild speculation."
