This case will leave Em and Cian with more questions than answers but join them as they take you through the timeline, discuss suspects and theories and try to keep their cool as it comes to light just how much evidence that could have helped solve this was either accidental destroyed or missed thanks to police inaction.

Case #020 - The Lady Of The Dunes

Welcome to Episode Twenty of Do You Dare?
 
Join us this week as Cian talks us through a case that took investigators over fifty years just to give the victim back her name but now has developed into possibly even identifying her killer…
 
(Trigger Warning's for Sexual Assault, Possible domestic violence.)
 
In this episode Cian takes a look at the case of Ruth Marie Terry, who spent many years better known to the public as ‘The Lady of the Dunes.’ This week we travel to Massachusetts for what was one of the most well known Jane Doe cases around and we look at how, thanks to advances in technology and the use of genetic genealogy, they were finally able to give Ruth back her name. 
We then explore how finding her identity may have led investigators straight to her killer and the possible person behind that has a wild background all of his own.
 
Thanks to everyone who has joined us for this week's interesting case and we hope to see you back next Tuesday as Em digs into one of the most intriguing unsolved disappearances that to this day remains a mystery of unanswered questions.

Case #019 - The Hungerford Massacre

Welcome to Episode Nineteen of Do You Dare?
 
Join us this week as Em covers the case of one of the worst shooting massacres to ever take place in the UK.
 
(Trigger Warning's for possible attempted sexual assault, Gun Violence and Suicide.)
 
In this episode Em tells us about the tragic events of The Hungerford Massacre where a lone shooter left an idyllic picturesque quiet town in England looking like something out of a war zone. 
The actions inflicted by one man on a normal summer’s day would leave sixteen people dead, many more wounded, a community in terror and a nation asking “how come something like this happen in a place like that, and why wasn’t it able to be stopped sooner?” 
This case was by all accounts a tragedy however whilst the motives behind it are still heavily debated to this day it did make major changes to gun laws in the UK. 
Thanks to everyone who has joined us for this week's heartbreaking case and we hope to see you back next Tuesday as Cian tells us about a famous Jane Doe who’s case proves that even after countless years it’s still possible to give a victim back their name and possible even find their killer…

Case #017 - Lake Lanier

Welcome to Episode Seventeen of Do You Dare?
 
Join us this week as Em dives headfirst into all of the mystery, Dark History and Tragic tales and spooky stories that give Lake Lanier its insidious reputation, and may leave you forever questioning just what lays beneath the waters you swim in....
(Trigger Warning's for mentions of Racism, Racial Cleansing, Mob Violence and Lynching)
Don't forget your life jacket because this week we are exploring one of America's deadliest lakes that in less than 100 years of its creation has seen over 700 lives lost at its waters. But the thing about Lake Lanier is its tragic history starts way before that. With mob justice, racial cleansing, stolen land and a town that now lies beneath its murky waters - including graves - it's no wonder that to this day the lake is said to be haunted and cursed.
So are all of these deaths tragic accidents? Are their ghosts lurking below waiting to pull you to a watery demise? Is it the curse that continues to stain these waters red? or is it something else entirely? 
 
Join us this week as we take a look beneath the surface and uncover some of these stories that have remained sunken.
