The Tent Girl Mystery
Georgetown, Kentucky, United StatesMay 17, 1968
In May 1968, a canvas bag resembling a tent was found along a highway near Georgetown, Kentucky, containing the body of an unidentified young woman. For nearly 30 years, "Tent Girl" was one of America's most famous Jane Does. In 1998, amateur genealogist Todd Matthews — who had married into the family of the man who found the body — identified her as Barbara Ann Hackmann Taylor through missing persons records. Her husband was later charged but never convicted.
