Dusty Pace in Under the Bridge Is a Composite of Real People
Dusty Pace is a character in Hulu’s true-crime miniseries Under the Bridge, which follows the case of Reena Virk.
In the show, Dusty is arrested for assault and reflects on her role in the attack and murder of Reena.
The character is not based on just one real person: actor Aiyana Goodfellow has said Dusty combines several people from the case.
The creators have not identified exactly who those people are.
Missy Pleich, one of two teenagers who spoke about the case in a Dateline interview, is often suggested as an influence, but that connection is unconfirmed.
Dusty’s storyline may end with the show, but the real people involved continued living beyond the trial.
Dusty Pace in Hulu’s Under the Bridge is a fictional composite of several people connected to Reena Virk’s case.
The show’s creators have not confirmed which real people inspired the character.
One theory is that Dusty was partly inspired by Missy Pleich, who spoke about her involvement in the case in an MSNBC Dateline program.
Screen Rant reports that the series’ finale was due to be released on May 29.
