    I was reading about this last night. Even if it has nothing to do with the movie, it's a case that has my interest.
    Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.

    Interesting, but I'd have to think unlikely.
    It begs the question though:
    If it could possibly be her, might the killer also be in the crowd and be one of the others caught on film?

    Thankfully, she has finally been identified as Ruth Marie Terry and was 37 at the time of her death. She was identified using investigative forensic genealogy, which combines DNA analysis with genealogy research and historical records.

    They think her killer is now dead but they are still asking for tips anyway in the hope they can finally close the case.

    Hopefully they will be able to solve this case, and I hope they do. The killer might still be alive if he was younger then her.

    One of the people they are looking at is her ex husband who she only married a few months before she died. He was a suspect in the 1960 death and mutilation of his ex wife and stepdaughter whose remains were found in the septic tank of their home and family business. Ruth's death was also viscious as her skull was crushed, she was near decapitated and her hands cut off. He fled town before cops had the chance to talk to him although he was never arrested. He died in 2002 so if he was her killer, he got away with it.

    From what I've seen, it looks like it's out of print. Some people on the lost media reddit page are trying to track down a copy of it and someone claimed to have a copy so hopefully they will upload some images.
