- A young woman is discovered murdered in Georgetown, Kentucky in 1968. Her remains are concealed in canvas material, leading to the nickname "Tent Girl" for the unidentified victim. For thirty years, she would remain nameless until a dedicated sleuth discovers her identity - Barbara Ann Hackmann Taylor.
- Barbara Ann "Bobbie" (Hackmann) Taylor (September 12, 1943 - c. December 6, 1967), also known as the "Tent Girl", was initially an unidentified young American woman ("Jane Doe") found dead near Georgetown, Kentucky, on May 17, 1968.
Wilbur Riddle, who had been scavenging for glass insulators alongside U.S. Route 25, discovered the decomposing body wrapped in a heavy green canvas tarpaulin, such as might be used to wrap up a tent. A police investigation failed to identify the deceased woman, or name any suspects in her apparent murder.
She was buried in the Georgetown Cemetery with a donated headstone that bore her likeness as it appeared in a police sketch of how she might have looked in life.
In 1998, the Tent Girl was positively identified as Barbara Ann Hackmann Taylor as a result of the ongoing efforts of Todd Matthews. Matthews, the son-in-law of Wilbur Riddle, had maintained a longstanding interest in the case. He had collected information on the Tent Girl and combed through many missing persons reports on the Internet.
Matthews discovered a report from the family of a young woman who went missing in Lexington, Kentucky (approximately 15 miles from Georgetown) in late 1967. He forwarded information on the Tent Girl to the Hackmann family. The family believed that this was likely their missing relative, which led to the exhumation of the body and DNA testing, which confirmed her identity.
The family chose to have Hackmann's remains re-interred in Georgetown Cemetery, with an additional stone base placed under the original grave marker, bearing her real name, nickname, date of birth, presumed date of death, and the inscription "Loving Mother, Grandmother & Sister".
