Barbara Ann Hackman

On May 17, 1968, in Scott County, Kentucky, a man stumbled upon a tarp he thought he could salvage—only to find a woman whose identity would remain a mystery for nearly three decades. Who was she? How did she come to be left alone in that field? And what details were missed that might have connected her to her family sooner? In this episode, we explore the extraordinary path that led from an unmarked grave to the truth: the woman the world knew as “Tent Girl” was Barbara Ann Hackmann. How did her case inspire a determined young man to launch one of the earliest online sleuthing movements? What did her family learn once her identity was restored? And what legacy did her case leave for thousands of other unidentified victims? Tune in to uncover the full story.
