Authorities identify Massachusetts ‘Granby girl’ 45 years after she was shot

Advanced genetic testing revealed the murder victim as Patricia Ann Tucker, who was found dead on the side of a logging road

For nearly 45 years, authorities did not know the name or life story of a woman who was shot dead and left off the side of a logging road in western Massachusetts.

But authorities ultimately turned to advanced genetic testing to help them solve the mystery, and they recently figured out the murder victim was Patricia Ann Tucker, who was 28 and had a 5-year-old son when she was killed without her loved ones knowing for decades.
