Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP26809) and 15 other sources
Rory Gene Kesinger, a 24-year-old woman from Plymouth, Massachusetts, vanished on May 27, 1973, after escaping from the Plymouth County Correctional Facility. At the time of her disappearance, Kesinger had been incarcerated for attempting to murder two police officers during a drug raid in Pembroke. Known for her involvement in drug smuggling and gun running, Kesinger was a fugitive wanted by police in multiple states. Despite her history of crime, she successfully broke out of jail, allegedly with the help of a smuggled hacksaw and possibly an accomplice from within the prison. After her escape, she was never seen again.

Speculation has surrounded her fate, with some believing she may have been killed and buried by her criminal associates shortly after her jailbreak. For years, investigators even considered the possibility that she was the infamous "Lady of the Dunes," a woman found murdered on a Massachusetts beach in 1974, but DNA testing eventually ruled this out. Despite various leads, no concrete evidence regarding Kesinger's whereabouts has surfaced since her escape.
