The decades-old mystery surrounding the death of a woman found nearly decapitated in Provincetown has finally been solved. Investigators have officially closed the case of the woman, known for nearly 50 years as the "Lady of the Dunes," after identifying her as Ruth Marie Terry and naming her husband, Guy Muldavin, as the suspect in her murder.    In a significant breakthrough made in October 2022, the FBI positively identified the "Lady of the Dunes" as Ruth Marie Terry. Her body was discovered in a sand dune on July 26, 1974, with her hands cut off and her head nearly severed from her body. The investigators used investigative genealogy to identify Terry, a resident of Tennessee. The FBI revealed that Terry had suffered a blow to the head and was most likely killed several weeks before her body was discovered.    The Massachusetts State Police took over the investigation from Provincetown Police in 1982. Terry's skull, which was kept in police custody and not buried with her other remains, was sent to labs for testing. In 2021, Othram was able to create a DNA profile that eventually led to a positive identification. The Chief Medical Examiner's Office issued Terry's death certificate on April 5.    The investigation then turned to Terry's husband, Guy Muldavin. The couple got married in Reno, Nevada, in either 1973 or 1974, and traveled to Tennessee to visit Terry's family. Muldavin and Terry traveled together in the summer of 1974, but Muldavin returned alone. He indicated to witnesses that Terry had passed away but told her brother that they had a fight during their honeymoon and he had not heard from her again.    The District Attorney's Office revealed that Muldavin was also believed to be the prime suspect in the disappearance of his ex-wife and stepdaughter in Seattle in 1960. Investigators determined that Muldavin was responsible for Terry's death in 1974.    Muldavin, who also went by the names Raoul Guy Rockwell and Guy Muldavin Rockwell, died in 2002. In November 2022, Massachusetts State Police announced they were seeking information about him. Detectives investigated the 1960 disappearance of his wife and stepdaughter and later found human remains in the septic tank of their home. Although Muldavin was arrested for unlawful flight and convicted of grand larceny, he was never charged in relation to the Seattle killings.    A news article dated December 1, 1960, reported that Muldavin was arrested in New York City after the mutilated bodies of Manzanina Mearns and her 18-year-old daughter, Dolores Ann Mearns, were found in the septic tank. The article noted that detectives found dismembered remains and other parts of human tissue. Dolores and Manzanita disappeared on April 1, 1960.    Muldavin was 78 years old when he died.    The resolution of this case brings a measure of closure to a mystery that has perplexed investigators for decades. Although Muldavin was never brought to justice for his crimes, the identification of Ruth Marie Terry and the determination of her killer have finally shed light on the dark events of the past.

Millions of people who are getting ready to travel for Thanksgiving might be in for a rainy ride. Massachusetts State Police trooper Terrance Kent has been suspended without pay facing sexual misconduct allegations. President elect Trump adds to the list of nominees for his incoming administration. Stay in "The Loop" with #iHeartRadio.

 The town of Canton, Massachusetts, has formally disciplined Detective Kevin Albert following an investigation into his actions during a night of drinking with Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor in 2022. The allegations emerged during the Karen Read trial, in which Proctor served as the lead investigator. Despite the decision to discipline Albert, the exact nature of his punishment remains undisclosed due to ongoing investigations. Canton Police Chief Helena Rafferty stated that the investigative report into Albert's conduct is being withheld as it involves “ongoing investigations by other agencies.” Additionally, the disciplinary decision, made in a Select Board executive session, is classified as a personnel record, further limiting its disclosure. Albert's connection to the case has drawn significant attention, as his brother, Brian Albert, owns the home where Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe was found unresponsive in the snow on January 29, 2022. O'Keefe was the boyfriend of Karen Read, who was later charged with his murder. Read's defense has argued that she was framed, implicating Proctor, the Albert family, and others in a potential cover-up. Proctor's testimony in the Read trial revealed text messages between him and Kevin Albert, further complicating the case. The defense raised questions regarding Proctor's relationship with the Albert family and whether this influenced his handling of the investigation. The town confirmed that the discipline was decided after an independent investigation and a review by the Select Board, but they declined to share any details. Chris Albert, another of Kevin's brothers, who serves on the Canton Select Board, recused himself from the decision-making process. The town and police department maintain that the records will be made public when the other ongoing investigations are completed. This development adds to the controversies surrounding the Karen Read trial, with Proctor currently under investigation and suspended without pay from the Massachusetts State Police. Read's defense has consistently raised concerns about conflicts of interest, particularly involving the Albert family, and alleged misconduct by investigators during the case. As the town awaits the conclusion of the various investigations, it remains unclear what the long-term implications of this discipline will be for Kevin Albert and how it may impact the upcoming retrial of Karen Read. #KarenReadTrial #KevinAlbert #CantonPolice #MichaelProctor #JohnOKeefe #ConflictofInterest #CantonSelectBoard Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Both the prosecution and defense in Karen Read's high-profile criminal case have requested additional time to prepare for the upcoming second trial. In a joint filing on Monday, they asked the judge to reschedule the trial from January 27 to April 1, allowing both sides “adequate time” to prepare. Read, 44, from Mansfield, faces accusations of striking her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV outside a Canton residence and leaving him in severe winter conditions following a night out. According to court records, the alleged incident occurred on January 29, 2022, following visits to two Canton bars, C.F. McCarthy's and Waterfall Bar & Grille. The first trial, which concluded in July, resulted in a hung jury, unable to reach a unanimous decision on the charges against Read. As she awaits her second trial, Read is also seeking to have certain charges dismissed by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC), which will hear oral arguments in the appeal this week. The initial trial highlighted numerous complications for the prosecution, including questionable conduct from a Massachusetts State Police trooper involved in the investigation. In what the trooper's department called a "very regrettable" instance, inappropriate messages were exchanged, leading to the trooper's suspension and triggering internal affairs investigations for other officers. Additionally, Read's defense questioned the circumstances surrounding damage to her SUV, with concerns raised over surveillance footage that allegedly showed the vehicle's state in an inverted orientation. Special Assistant District Attorney Hank Brennan, appointed by Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey to handle the retrial, requested court approval on Friday to reassemble and analyze the telematics system in Read's vehicle. According to the prosecution, the SUV's telematics could provide critical data, including GPS locations, speed, and engine status, to clarify the sequence of events surrounding O'Keefe's death. In Monday's filing, Brennan's team disclosed that they have enlisted additional expert witnesses, including a biomechanical engineer, who are expected to analyze and testify regarding key evidence. The addition of these experts, Brennan argued, will necessitate more time to generate comprehensive reports. The defense, too, emphasized the need for time to review and respond to these findings. On the civil front, O'Keefe's family filed a lawsuit in August against Read and the two bars visited on the night of the incident. In that case, a judge recently granted a six-month stay on Read's deposition and discovery requirements, delaying them until after her second criminal trial. With both the prosecution and defense aligning in their request, the decision now rests with the judge. As this legal battle continues, both sides are working to address gaps exposed during the first trial in an effort to present a more robust case when they reconvene in April. #KarenReadTrial #BostonPolice #JohnOKeefe #CriminalDefense #CourtUpdate #MassachusettsLaw #SecondTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The first trial, which concluded in July, resulted in a hung jury, unable to reach a unanimous decision on the charges against Read. As she awaits her second trial, Read is also seeking to have certain charges dismissed by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC), which will hear oral arguments in the appeal this week. The initial trial highlighted numerous complications for the prosecution, including questionable conduct from a Massachusetts State Police trooper involved in the investigation. In what the trooper's department called a "very regrettable" instance, inappropriate messages were exchanged, leading to the trooper's suspension and triggering internal affairs investigations for other officers. Additionally, Read's defense questioned the circumstances surrounding damage to her SUV, with concerns raised over surveillance footage that allegedly showed the vehicle's state in an inverted orientation. Special Assistant District Attorney Hank Brennan, appointed by Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey to handle the retrial, requested court approval on Friday to reassemble and analyze the telematics system in Read's vehicle. According to the prosecution, the SUV's telematics could provide critical data, including GPS locations, speed, and engine status, to clarify the sequence of events surrounding O'Keefe's death. In Monday's filing, Brennan's team disclosed that they have enlisted additional expert witnesses, including a biomechanical engineer, who are expected to analyze and testify regarding key evidence. The addition of these experts, Brennan argued, will necessitate more time to generate comprehensive reports. The defense, too, emphasized the need for time to review and respond to these findings. On the civil front, O'Keefe's family filed a lawsuit in August against Read and the two bars visited on the night of the incident. In that case, a judge recently granted a six-month stay on Read's deposition and discovery requirements, delaying them until after her second criminal trial. With both the prosecution and defense aligning in their request, the decision now rests with the judge. As this legal battle continues, both sides are working to address gaps exposed during the first trial in an effort to present a more robust case when they reconvene in April. #KarenReadTrial #BostonPolice #JohnOKeefe #CriminalDefense #CourtUpdate #MassachusettsLaw #SecondTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On the morning of January 5, 1994, 27-year-old David Cox, a former Marine whose story inspired the movie A Few Good Men, was at home, anxiously awaiting news about a potential full-time job. But when his girlfriend, Elaine, returned home that evening, David was nowhere to be found. His truck was parked outside, with the keys in the ignition and an uncashed paycheck sitting on the dashboard. Despite these strange circumstances, police initially believed David had run off. However, nearly three months later, his body was discovered along a Medfield, Massachusetts riverbank five miles from his apartment. He had been shot four times. Despite a thorough investigation, no motive or suspects have been identified, leaving David's family desperate for answers. It's been over 30 years since David's murder, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible... On the morning of January 5, 1994, David Cox went missing from his apartment in Natick, Massachusetts. Almost three months later, on April 2, his body was discovered along the Charles River in Medfield, about five miles from his home. At the time of his death, David was wearing a Marine Corps camouflage jacket over a black hooded Marines sniper jacket, along with jeans and sneakers.

Brian Walshe, accused of killing and dismembering his wife, Ana Walshe, is facing new developments in his murder trial as his defense team raises concerns about the impartiality of the investigation. Walshe's attorneys are demanding access to documents from two other high-profile Massachusetts murder cases, citing potential bias from former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, who led the investigation into both Walshe's and Karen Read's cases. Walshe, 48, was arrested in January 2023 and indicted on multiple charges, including murder, misleading a police investigation, and improper conveyance of a human body. He remains in custody without bail as his legal team works to challenge aspects of the investigation. The defense team is particularly focused on Michael Proctor, the former state trooper who led the inquiry into Walshe's case. Proctor's involvement in another high-profile case—the investigation into Karen Read—has come under scrutiny. Read is accused of striking her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, with her SUV and leaving him to die in a snowstorm. Proctor's conduct in Read's case, which ended in a mistrial, led to his suspension following testimony that revealed unprofessional behavior, including disparaging text messages about Read. During her trial, Proctor referred to Read as a “whack job” and used an expletive, later apologizing to the jury for his comments.   Citing this behavior, Walshe's defense team is questioning whether Proctor may have held a similar bias against their client. “Proctor's text messages about Karen Read reveal bias,” Walshe's attorney, Larry Tipton, said during a recent hearing. “We want to ensure there was no bias in Brian Walshe's case, and that's why we're requesting access to these documents.” The defense has asked for a comprehensive list of records related to Proctor's work, including his cellphone data, internet account details, and more than 3,000 pages from an ongoing federal investigation. Walshe's team is also seeking documents tied to Proctor's role in the investigation of Sandra Birchmore, another case where Proctor's actions have come under scrutiny. While Walshe's lawyers have not found concrete evidence of police or prosecutorial misconduct so far, they are pushing for transparency. “And I was going to explain why we filed such a detailed memorandum of law,” Tipton stated, “but I don't think I need to waste the court's time with that.” The Norfolk County district attorney's office, which is prosecuting Walshe, has stated that it will share any information relevant to the case, but they will not turn over sensitive information from other ongoing investigations. In a filing, the office noted that releasing Proctor's phone and work cloud data could expose criminal offender records, confidential informant information, and private data from grand jury proceedings. Prosecutors have made it clear that they do not plan to call Proctor as a witness in Walshe's trial. Instead, Cohasset Police Sgt. Harrison Schmidt has taken on Proctor's role in the investigation. "Dozens" of officers from the Massachusetts State Police and Cohasset Police Department were involved in the case, according to the district attorney's office, which argues that Proctor's absence will not impact the trial. The defense and prosecution are expected to reconvene in December after Walshe's legal team has reviewed the documents provided by the prosecution. As the trial approaches, the defense is continuing to build its case, hoping to uncover any signs of bias or misconduct that could impact the outcome of this highly publicized murder case.

William Farwell, a former Stoughton, Massachusetts police officer, has permanently lost his law enforcement certification due to his involvement in a case that has garnered national attention. Farwell entered into a voluntary decertification agreement with the state, effectively barring him from any future employment as a police officer. His decertification will also be added to the National Decertification Index, a database used to prevent decertified officers from obtaining law enforcement positions elsewhere. Although William Farwell is not facing criminal charges, his twin brother, Matthew Farwell, has been indicted on federal charges related to the death of Sandra Birchmore, a woman both brothers had been romantically involved with. Matthew is accused of strangling Birchmore, who was pregnant, to cover up their affair, which investigators allege began when she was underage. Prosecutors say that after killing Birchmore, Matthew attempted to stage her death to look like a suicide. Both William and Matthew were officers in the Stoughton Police Department at the time of the events, and investigators have confirmed that both brothers had sexual relationships with Birchmore. According to court documents, William admitted to detectives that he had been in a relationship with Birchmore for approximately two years. This relationship took place when Birchmore was an adult, and William is accused of exchanging inappropriate and graphic messages with her while he was on duty as a police officer. Court records reveal that William's communications with Birchmore included explicit content. As outlined in the decertification order, some of the messages exchanged between William and Birchmore contained "photographs and videos of nude individuals having sexual intercourse." The order also detailed that William lied to state investigators during the investigation into Birchmore's death. When questioned by detectives from the Massachusetts State Police, William disclosed that he had two or three sexual encounters with Birchmore, claiming that the last time they were together was in December 2020. He also stated that during their final encounter, Birchmore informed him that she was pregnant with Matthew's child. However, phone records contradicted William's statement, showing that the two met for a sexual encounter on January 10, 2021, just weeks before Birchmore's death on February 4, 2021. Sandra Birchmore's death has sparked significant legal action, as her family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit. The lawsuit names both William and Matthew Farwell as defendants, as well as the Stoughton Police Department. The lawsuit accuses the department of failing to prevent the inappropriate relationships between officers and Birchmore, which eventually led to her death. As the case against Matthew Farwell progresses, more information is expected to emerge about the Farwell brothers' actions and the role the Stoughton Police Department played in the tragic death of Sandra Birchmore. This ongoing case has raised serious questions about misconduct within law enforcement and how it is handled when officers are involved in personal relationships that cross ethical and legal boundaries.

 The decades-old mystery surrounding the death of a woman found nearly decapitated in Provincetown has finally been solved. Investigators have officially closed the case of the woman, known for nearly 50 years as the "Lady of the Dunes," after identifying her as Ruth Marie Terry and naming her husband, Guy Muldavin, as the suspect in her murder.    In a significant breakthrough made in October 2022, the FBI positively identified the "Lady of the Dunes" as Ruth Marie Terry. Her body was discovered in a sand dune on July 26, 1974, with her hands cut off and her head nearly severed from her body. The investigators used investigative genealogy to identify Terry, a resident of Tennessee. The FBI revealed that Terry had suffered a blow to the head and was most likely killed several weeks before her body was discovered.    The Massachusetts State Police took over the investigation from Provincetown Police in 1982. Terry's skull, which was kept in police custody and not buried with her other remains, was sent to labs for testing. In 2021, Othram was able to create a DNA profile that eventually led to a positive identification. The Chief Medical Examiner's Office issued Terry's death certificate on April 5.    The investigation then turned to Terry's husband, Guy Muldavin. The couple got married in Reno, Nevada, in either 1973 or 1974, and traveled to Tennessee to visit Terry's family. Muldavin and Terry traveled together in the summer of 1974, but Muldavin returned alone. He indicated to witnesses that Terry had passed away but told her brother that they had a fight during their honeymoon and he had not heard from her again.    The District Attorney's Office revealed that Muldavin was also believed to be the prime suspect in the disappearance of his ex-wife and stepdaughter in Seattle in 1960. Investigators determined that Muldavin was responsible for Terry's death in 1974.    Muldavin, who also went by the names Raoul Guy Rockwell and Guy Muldavin Rockwell, died in 2002. In November 2022, Massachusetts State Police announced they were seeking information about him. Detectives investigated the 1960 disappearance of his wife and stepdaughter and later found human remains in the septic tank of their home. Although Muldavin was arrested for unlawful flight and convicted of grand larceny, he was never charged in relation to the Seattle killings.    A news article dated December 1, 1960, reported that Muldavin was arrested in New York City after the mutilated bodies of Manzanina Mearns and her 18-year-old daughter, Dolores Ann Mearns, were found in the septic tank. The article noted that detectives found dismembered remains and other parts of human tissue. Dolores and Manzanita disappeared on April 1, 1960.    Muldavin was 78 years old when he died.    The resolution of this case brings a measure of closure to a mystery that has perplexed investigators for decades. Although Muldavin was never brought to justice for his crimes, the identification of Ruth Marie Terry and the determination of her killer have finally shed light on the dark events of the past.

The decades-old mystery surrounding the death of a woman found nearly decapitated in Provincetown has finally been solved. Investigators have officially closed the case of the woman, known for nearly 50 years as the "Lady of the Dunes," after identifying her as Ruth Marie Terry and naming her husband, Guy Muldavin, as the suspect in her murder.    In a significant breakthrough made in October 2022, the FBI positively identified the "Lady of the Dunes" as Ruth Marie Terry.

The town of Canton, Massachusetts, has formally disciplined Detective Kevin Albert following an investigation into his actions during a night of drinking with Massachusetts State Police Trooper Michael Proctor in 2022. The allegations emerged during the Karen Read trial, in which Proctor served as the lead investigator. Despite the decision to discipline Albert, the exact nature of his punishment remains undisclosed due to ongoing investigations. Canton Police Chief Helena Rafferty stated that the investigative report into Albert's conduct is being withheld as it involves “ongoing investigations by other agencies.” Additionally, the disciplinary decision, made in a Select Board executive session, is classified as a personnel record, further limiting its disclosure. Albert's connection to the case has drawn significant attention, as his brother, Brian Albert, owns the home where Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe was found unresponsive in the snow on January 29, 2022. O'Keefe was the boyfriend of Karen Read, who was later charged with his murder. Read's defense has argued that she was framed, implicating Proctor, the Albert family, and others in a potential cover-up. Proctor's testimony in the Read trial revealed text messages between him and Kevin Albert, further complicating the case. The defense raised questions regarding Proctor's relationship with the Albert family and whether this influenced his handling of the investigation. The town confirmed that the discipline was decided after an independent investigation and a review by the Select Board, but they declined to share any details. Chris Albert, another of Kevin's brothers, who serves on the Canton Select Board, recused himself from the decision-making process. The town and police department maintain that the records will be made public when the other ongoing investigations are completed. This development adds to the controversies surrounding the Karen Read trial, with Proctor currently under investigation and suspended without pay from the Massachusetts State Police. Read's defense has consistently raised concerns about conflicts of interest, particularly involving the Albert family, and alleged misconduct by investigators during the case. As the town awaits the conclusion of the various investigations, it remains unclear what the long-term implications of this discipline will be for Kevin Albert and how it may impact the upcoming retrial of Karen Read. #KarenReadTrial #KevinAlbert #CantonPolice #MichaelProctor #JohnOKeefe #ConflictofInterest #CantonSelectBoard Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Karen Read, a 44-year-old woman from Mansfield, Massachusetts, who is accused of second-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, broke her silence in a never-before-seen interview aired on ABC's *20/20* on Friday. In the interview, Read spoke at length about the night O'Keefe, a Boston police officer, was found dead in a snowbank outside a home in Canton after a night of drinking at two local bars. Read, whose first trial ended in a mistrial in July, recounted the moment she discovered O'Keefe's body on the morning of January 29, 2022. “As you come down Fairview, there's a bit of a decline, and it curves to the left, and my eyes are peeled, and I said, ‘He's right [expletive] there,'” she told *20/20*. Read jumped out of the car and found O'Keefe on the ground with injuries, including two black eyes. “His eyes were shut, and he had spots of blood in different areas on his face, and he was still — not stiff, but still,” she said. O'Keefe was not dressed for the blizzard conditions that night, which raised further questions during the trial about the circumstances leading to his death. The prosecution claims Read and O'Keefe had been fighting and that she struck him with her SUV after leaving a party. "Would you say that you were angry with John that night?" *20/20* host Matt Gutman asked. "Yes," Read admitted. However, the defense argues that O'Keefe was beaten up and dragged outside after an altercation in the basement of fellow officer Brian Albert's home. The defense contends that O'Keefe's injuries were inconsistent with being hit by a car. They allege that O'Keefe was beaten and bitten by a dog inside the house before being left outside to die. Read went on to suggest a cover-up involving other officers present at the scene, telling Gutman, “Because he's dead,” when asked why anyone would want to conceal the truth. Prosecutors have faced several setbacks during the case, including a mix-up involving surveillance footage and a Massachusetts State Police trooper being suspended after inappropriate text messages surfaced. Despite these issues, the prosecution is moving forward with a retrial set for January 27, 2025. Judge Beverly Cannone recently denied Read's request to dismiss the second-degree murder charge and another charge, signaling that the case will proceed. In addition to the criminal charges, O'Keefe's family has filed a civil lawsuit against Read and the two bars where the couple had been drinking that night. The family argues that Read's defense has “outrageously created a false narrative” about O'Keefe's death and seeks damages for both compensatory and punitive losses. O'Keefe's cousin, Renay, expressed the family's grief during the *20/20* interview. “He was lost in this whole circus. And I think none of us want him to be lost. I think that's the saddest part of this whole situation, that he's not remembered as who he is and who he was during this whole thing,” she said. As both sides prepare for the retrial, the case continues to captivate public attention, with many eagerly awaiting the outcome. For now, the legal proceedings are moving forward, and the civil lawsuit will likely follow after the criminal trial concludes. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #20/20Interview #SecondDegreeMurder #BostonPolice #CantonMassachusetts #TrueCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discussed the tragic case of Sandra Birchmore, who was allegedly groomed and sexually exploited by Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell and potentially other officers. Birchmore, who joined the Police Explorer program at age 12, was manipulated into a sexual relationship with Farwell by age 15, which continued for years. She became pregnant at 23 and was later found dead under suspicious circumstances. Initially ruled a suicide, her death is now considered a possible murder, with Farwell charged federally under a statute for killing a potential government witness, which could lead to life imprisonment or the death penalty. Coffindaffer raised concerns about the competence and potential corruption within the Massachusetts State Police and questioned how the medical examiner ruled Birchmore's death a suicide despite clear signs she was preparing for life, such as booking a maternity photo session. The discussion also highlighted allegations that other officers may have been involved with Birchmore, suggesting possible broader misconduct.
