Podcaster Shines Bright Light on Franklin Cold Case

The sad story of Theresa Corley, a Bellingham teen who left a Franklin bar late one night in December of 1978 and was found later, strangled, on the margin of Interstate 495, has haunted locals for nearly half a century. At the time, investigators determined that she may have been sexually assaulted at some point but evidence sufficient to prosecute anyone has never been found.

There have been some attempts to revive the investigation, including the inclusion of Corley's case in a pack of "cold case cards" put out a few years ago by the Mass. State Police.

Now, podcaster Nicole Ryan, who has built her reputation on coverage of the Karen Read murder trials with her Read Report, is putting her own efforts into trying to get a resoluition. The first episode of her coverage can be found here.
