Violence against young women is, tragically, not uncommon. Crimes like these have taken place throughout history. But the murders of Mary Ashford and Barbara Forrest have drawn particular attention because the circumstances surrounding their deaths were eerily similar, even though the second murder occurred 157 years later. Both Mary and Barbara were 20 years old. Both were found dead in the same area of Erdington, just outside Birmingham, after having gone out dancing the night before. And the similarities do not end there, which has led many to question whether this was simply a strange coincidence or something far more unsettling.

In May 1968, the body of a young woman was discovered in a ditch outside Georgetown, Kentucky. She was naked and wrapped in a green canvas tent bag. No one knew who she was. Despite extensive police efforts, the years passed without answers. The woman became known only as “Tent Girl”, and her identity remained a mystery for three decades. Then a teenager named Todd Matthews began digging into the case. His persistent search, which would last more than ten years, did not only lead to her identification. It also became the beginning of something larger, a movement to restore names to the dead and answers to the living. This is the story of “Tent Girl”, and of the person who refused to let her remain unknown.

Monday, 21 June 2004 began like any other day. 43-year-old Jim Donnelly drove to work at the Glenbrook Steel Mill, just outside Auckland, New Zealand. He said goodbye to his wife, Tracey, and the couple’s two children. Once he arrived, he clocked in, changed into his work uniform, and then vanished without a trace. More than twenty years have now passed, and Jim has never clocked out. To this day, no one knows where he went, why he disappeared, or whether he ever even left his workplace that morning.
