Oxygen True Crime takes a deep dive into a murder case that stymied investigators for five decades in Lady of the Dunes: Hunting a Cape Cod Killer. The two-hour special runs over two nights and premieres on Friday, November 9, 2024 at 8pm ET/PT. It concludes on November 30th at 9pm ET/PT.

“In 1974, the idyllic and close-knit community of Provincetown was stunned when the body of an unidentified woman was discovered in a remote area of the dunes. Over the next 50 years, investigators worked tirelessly to identify her, relentless in their pursuit of her killer and her name,” reads Oxygen True Crime’s synopsis. “The twists and turns of the Lady of the Dunes mystery tell the story of a hidden family, a suspect’s violent past, and a detective willing to sacrifice her career for answers.”

The special is produced by Left/Right Productions, with Banks Tarver, Ken Druckerman, Maija Norris, and Steve Yaccino executive producing.

Lady of the Dunes will feature brand new details about the lengthy investigation, including “the most extensive allegations about contaminated DNA samples and lost physical evidence from the crime scene,” according to Oxygen. It also includes new on-camera interviews with the Provincetown detectives who worked on the case as well as the victim’s family members. The two-hour special spotlights the FBI’s involvement and how it ultimately transformed the investigation and helped solve the case.
