The story of Penn State University graduate student Betsy Aardsma’s unsolved murder has haunted the campus as a kind of urban legend for more than five decades. Although told as a ghost story, those who investigated fear that her very real murder is being forgotten.
On Thanksgiving weekend 1969, 22-year-old Betsy was murdered by a single stab wound to the chest in the stacks of the Pattee Library. Her killer has never been caught.
