Show Notes
It's around 2 a.m. on March 4, 1984.
The temperature has dropped below 10 degrees in Gardner, Massachusetts.
Mr. D's, a bar and lounge in downtown Gardner, has closed up for the night.
The parking lot in the back is empty, except for one car - a 1969 Pontiac Tempest - belonging to Holly Jean Cote.
Holly had met friends at Mr. D's around midnight when she got off her shift at a local restaurant.
When the bar closed, Holly was supposed to head over to a friend's house for a late night after party.
But she never showed up.
Three months later, Holly's naked body was discovered by canoeists near Birch Hill Dam in nearby Royalston.
She had been strangled to death.
