In 1972, sixteen-year-old Jeannette DePalma vanished from her Springfield, New Jersey home. Six weeks later, a dog carried back a human arm—leading to her body, eerily perched atop a cliff locals called the Devil’s Teeth. Rumors swirled of wooden crosses, cult rituals, and Satanic sacrifice though police denied any occult ties. With no clear cause of death, missing evidence, and whispers of cover-ups, her case remains unsolved—an eerie mystery that still haunts New Jersey more than fifty years later.
