As we all binge The Bundy Tapes on @Netflix and share the trailer for the Zac Efron movie, please remember the victims. These women all had hopes and dreams. They should all have movies made about them. I always try to remember what these monsters took away. #TedBundyTapes 
Lynda Ann Healy was 21. She was a psychology major preparing to graduate that semester. Lynda loved working with handicapped children and got up at early every day to report on the skiing conditions for local radio.
Susan Elaine Rancourt was 19. She worked two full-time jobs in the summer to save up money for tuition. Susan wanted to go into medicine and had 4.0 GPA—while working full time in a nursing home in between classes.
Donna Gail Manson was 19. She was a student at Evergreen State College, a very good flute player and was described by Ann Rule as kind of a goth, as her roommate was concerned about Donna's interests in alchemy, magic and death.
Kathy Parks was 20. She was a world religions major at Oregon State. There is not much written about Kathy. As someone who was also a world religions major, I can hazard a guess at what she might have been looking for—those truths we all have in common, no matter the religion.
Brenda Ball was 22. She was described as a free spirit who had recently left community college and was just trying to find herself.
Georgeann Hawkins was 18. In her senior year of high school she was named a Daffodil Princess, and traveled across Washington attending events, giving speeches and once addressed the state legislature. Georgeann graduated with straight A's and excelled in her freshman year at UW.
Janice Ott was 23. She was a juvenile probation caseworker. Janice had just gotten married, and was living with a roommate while her husband Jim attended classes in California.
Denise Naslund was 19. She worked part-time and was taking a computer programming course at night. “Denise is very loving and would often pick me up a gift for no special occasion," her mother said. “When she walks into my home, it’s just like sunshine coming through the door.”
Nancy Wilcox was 16. She was a cheerleader at Olympus High School and worked part-time as a waitress. Nancy was an active member of her local Mormon church.
Debra Kent was 17. She wanted to be a social worker. Debby would walk down the street and feed the parking meters of stranger’s cars so they wouldn’t get a ticket. She loved to dance.
Julie Cunningham was 26. She worked as a clerk at a Vail ski shop and was a part-time ski instructor. That month, she had just had her heart broken on a ski trip.
Denise Oliverson was 25. I wish we knew more about her. All that’s usually written about Denise was that she went on a bike ride to clear her head after a fight with her husband—which should never define anyone. If you have any details about Denise, please share them.
Susan Curtis was 15. She was a student at Woods Cross High School and was on the track team and the girl's baseball team. Susan rode her bicycle 50 miles to attend the Bountiful Orchard Youth Conference at Brigham Young University in Provo.
Lynette Culver was 12. She was a student at Alameda Junior High School. If you knew Lynette and have anything you'd like to share about her, please do.
Laura Aime was 17. She was working small jobs after dropping out of high school. She was trying to find herself and spoke with her parents every day.
Caryn Campbell was 23. She was a registered nurse, recently engaged to a cardiologist and living in Dearborn, Michigan. She was on a ski vacation in Snowmass Village, Colorado.
Melissa Smith was 17. She was the daughter of the local police chief and was very cautious. Please someone share more information about Melissa.
Lisa Levy was 20. She was a sister in the Chi Omega sorority at Tallahassee's Florida State University.
Kimberly Leach was 12. At her jr. high, she had just been elected first runner up to the Valentine Queen.
Margaret Bowman was 21. She was a sister in the Chi Omega sorority at Tallahassee's Florida State University.
Twenty girls and women. All with their own specific hopes and dreams. And this monster came along and swiped them all away for his own personal gratification. But there were others that he either confessed to, or was suspected of, killing.
Melanie "Suzy" Cooley was 18. Sh was a student at a small high school in Colorado. If you have any memories of Melanie, please share.
Shelley Robertson was 23. As a girl, she owned dove gray horse named Bonnie. After high school, Shelley spent a year in Mississippi at a United Church of Christ mission, lived for a semester in Barra de Navidad, a Mexican fishing village, and worked with her friends in Alaska.
Elizabeth Perry was 19. She was a student at Monticello Jr. College in Illinois. Elizabeth was planning on attending Ithaca College.
Susan Davis was 19. She was a student at Monticello Jr. College in Illinois.
Bundy confessed to murdering 8 others in Utah, Idaho, WA and CA. Maybe BS, but to the MEs in those states: if you have female remains from the era that you don’t have funds to process, DM me and I will help pay for the extraction + familial search to give them back their names.
