1980 - Newport, Rhode Island. On the morning of March 22, 1980, the nude body of 19-year-old Diane Drake washed up on Easton’s Beach between Middletown and Newport, RI. She had vanished the night before on her way to work. Forty-five years later, her killer remains at large. Yet, despite the passage of time, Diane’s family continues to seek answers and keep her memory alive—though justice today may not look the same as it did in 1980. In Part 2 of Diane’s story, we explore the final hours before her disappearance, revelations from her autopsy, and the theories that could finally bring her case closer to justice.
