In 1974, a young woman’s mutilated body was found in the dunes in Provincetown. It was a terrible, grisly crime; her hands were missing and her head was nearly severed.

The mysterious case baffled investigators for nearly 50 years. trib.al/hAekAVN

It was one of the oldest cold cases in Mass. She was nicknamed “The Lady of the Dunes” because no one knew her real name— until today. She is Ruth Marie Terry. And here is a photo that the FBI released of her. trib.al/OL9zEdH

For decades, investigators attempted to solve the mystery of who this woman was. Her body, buried in St. Peter’s Cemetery in Provincetown, was exhumed in both 1980 and 2000 in an attempt to ID her. trib.al/mbTdeK7

@greenpeaceusa

Of the 51 million tons of plastic waste US households produced in 2021, just 2.4 million tons (5 percent) were recycled, new research shows.

The findings show that plastic recycling is a “myth,” says the analysis by environmental nonprofit @greenpeaceusa. trib.al/hLhzaC5

Plastic, which is made from fossil fuels, is notoriously difficult to recycle.

A major reason: There are thousands of varieties of the material, each with its own chemical makeup, that require meticulous sorting to be processed. trib.al/hLhzaC5

@greenpeaceusa

Hundreds of millions of tons of plastic are produced each year, which is a major problem for the climate:

“If plastics were a country, they would be the fifth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world,” said Lisa Ramsden, senior plastics campaigner for @greenpeaceusa.

There are 14 luxury “survival” condos in an undisclosed location in Kansas, and they are available now to cash buyers only.

The price? $2.4 million for a full-floor unit; $1.3 million for a half floor, plus condo fees from $2,625 to $5,250 monthly. trib.al/64GeXN0

Built between 2010 and 2013, the condos generated interest from the start. By 2020, it finally got a test run, when families showed up from across the country and hunkered down, most for several weeks, when the pandemic struck. trib.al/64GeXN0

Some of the underground community’s amenities include:
- Saltwater swimming pool
- Rock climbing wall
- Movie theater
- Dog park
- Volcanic ash scrubber (to clean the air in case of a catastrophic eruption 900 miles away at the Yellowstone calderas) trib.al/64GeXN0

@BAA

Kipyokei’s first-place finish in the race will be disqualified if she fails to prove herself innocent in the appeals process, @BAA said on Friday. trib.al/R1Rjiqp

Can’t poop while traveling? Advice columnist Meredith Goldstein gets it.

She reached out to Alain Veilleux, a researcher at Université Laval who specializes in metabolism and intestinal microbiota, to explain what’s happening — and not happening. trib.al/EPwtjd6

🧻 We’re dehydrated.

“When we take a plane, the air is very dry ... and sometimes we drink less,” Veilleux said. trib.al/EPwtjd6

Veilleux said that unless we prepare, we might avoid water because it would mean going into a place to buy it.

But water is a big part of pooping. trib.al/EPwtjd6

Boston city officials are hoping to revamp the country’s oldest public park over the next decade.

A grand reimagining calls for both ambitious new projects and more subtle improvements, with a goal of making the Boston Common more inviting and navigable. trib.al/1o00Q6F

A few of the proposed changes:
° Triple the size of the playground.
° Revamp the Frog Pond to include multiple fountains.
° Add a soccer pitch to the athletic fields.
° Install more restrooms.
° Offer a place to drink a glass of wine. trib.al/1o00Q6F

Those are just a few of the big changes that could be coming over the next decade to the park, according to a new master plan for the Common released by the city and Friends of the Public Garden on Wednesday.

Let's explore the plans together ⤵️ trib.al/1o00Q6F
