Summary

On July 2nd,1966, 3 young suburban Chicago women drove to a popular beach south of Chicago on Lake Michigan, parked their car, and walked to a spot on the beach at Indiana Dunes State Park. They were last seen getting on a boat with 3 men- and from there they disappeared, never to be seen again. Their blankets and personal effects were all left behind. A huge manhunt ensued. Detectives were left without a shred of evidence- despite lots of clues to their private lives and their associates. Someone, somewhere knows something- and it is hoped even today that a clue will reveal itself so friends and family can get some closure.
