Summary

In this episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna review the case of the identification of Patricia Tucker, the Jane doe formerly known as Granby Girl. First we play clips from our interview with private investigator Lou Barry and DNAngels's Lisa Binz, next up is Kristen Mittelman of Othram Labs, and finally we speak with Patricia's son Matt Dale. Found in the woods off the road in Granby, Massachusetts in 1978, the Jane doe formerly known as Granby Girl has been unidentified until recently when the town of Granby, in partnership with Othram Labs, announced an identification. If you have information on the disappearance of Patricia Coleman, please call the Granby police at (413) 467-9222. If you knew Gerald Coleman please call the Granby police. Patricia went by other names such as Coleman, Dale, and Heckman as well as Tucker. Check out DNAngels: https://www.dnangels.org/.
