48 Hours - NEVER GIVE UP

Tent Girl


48 HOURS APRIL 30, 1998

48 Hours takes viewers behind the scenes with police as they break
unsolved cases that have been haunting the victims' friends and
families for years. If you think you can get away with murder, the police
have some advise: Think again. With the nation's crime rate dropping,
investigators are free to dust off the "cold case" files and reopen old
homicides and other serious crimes. And, thanks to amazing leaps in
forensic science, including new advanced DNA testing, investigators
are able to solve murder cases going back as far as 30 years.

Thirty years ago, the body of a young woman was found wrapped in a
canvas tent outside tiny Georgetown, KY. Known only as the Tent Girl,
she was never identified.

Ten years ago, the son in law of the man who discovered her body went
online to crack the case. He began communicating with a woman 500
miles away whose sister disappeared about the same time. Could this
girl and the missing sister be the same?
