On a chilly January morning in 1947, officers arrived to what they were told was "a broken mannequin" lying in a field. They discovered instead, the body of a woman cut completely in half at the waist. She lay naked and drained of blood, her two halves a foot apart, arms draped almost elegantly over her head.

Yikes, right?

Nearly 80 years later, the case remains both unforgotten and unsolved.

Join Dawn and guest, Kaycee Conlee, as they explore the crime scene and sort through the suspects.
