As the nights grow longer and the chill of December sets in, we explore the legend of this fearsome creature, often depicted as the dark counterpart to the jolly St. Nicholas.

In 1996, a Jane Doe was discovered in a cemetery, her body accompanied by a small, decorated Christmas tree, presenting a scene as heartrending as it was mystifying. This Jane Doe, later identified as Joyce Marilyn Meyer Summers, sparked a perplexing case that puzzled investigators for years. Shane will recount the discovery, the painstaking journey of identification, and the lingering questions that surround this somber holiday mystery.
