Summary

1987 - Roxbury, Massachusetts. It was Labor Day weekend in 1987. 19-year-old Dora Brimage was celebrating her friend’s birthday when she got into a car to head to a club called Joe’s Jaguar. She never came home. Her body was found the following morning at a construction site when the workers showed up for their shift. For years, Dora’s case sat unnoticed in a pile of Boston’s unsolved crimes. It hadn’t gotten much coverage when it first happened, and it all but seemed like Dora had faded into history. Until 2013, when the DNA from her kit was processed for the first time, revealing a killer who had been there all along. *Blog with sources will be available later today* Support Murder, She Told: https://www.murdershetold.com/support Instagram: @murdershetoldpodcast TikTok: @murdershetold Facebook: /mstpodcast Website: murdershetold.com ----- Sponsors: HoneyLove: Get 20% OFF at honeylove.com/SHETOLD Factor: Get 50% off your 1st box and 20% of the 2nd at factormeals.com/shetold50 with code shetold50.
