On June 4, 1982, the body of a young woman surfaced from 300 feet of
water in Lake Placid, New York. Because of the depth and intense cold of
the water, the body which was determined by medical examiners to have
been submerged for over twenty years, was remarkably well-preserved. At
the time, the authorities were unable to establish the identity of the
woman but concluded that her death had been violent.
