NEW INFORMATION IN THE BUNDY CASES

I have been silent for quite a while but not due to giving up. What I had not realized in the documents that I had received from officials was that buried in a folder titled simply SAR were the lists of evidence found during the original searches of Bundy's dump sites at Issaquah and at Taylor Mountain. What I found shocked me: the evidence in both was more extensive than what had been reported publicly. In fact, while publicly it has been put forth that Taylor Mountain was less of a find than Issaquah and that only skulls, jawbones were found there along with a single mass of hair, Taylor Mountain was in fact a major crime scene with many pieces of evidence that showed the killing had taken place there [body parts were not moved around] and that there was evidence of possible bondage [snug tie]; animal activity; graves; evidence of weapons and that the killer spent time there. I have put together a formal complaint and filed it with authorities, requesting that an investigation be opened on the new evidence into my experiences back then. I am also trying to inform the public that there has been an injustice done - not only to me as a survivor of that time period, but also to the victims [known and potential] left behind.

UPDATE: An investigation into those years has begun now in response to the evidence I found and my own experiences. I will not know the results for awhile but it's a start. I have been refused that right for over 16 years.

Why the evidence is important to these books, "Reflections On Green River," and "In Defense of Denial" is that Bundy was not a rare case but in fact acting in a manner that other serial killers have done.

What he was stating in the interview of 1984, supported by the evidence found at both Issaquah and Taylor Mountain, shows that Bundy was an experienced serial killer in 1974 with two well developed sites and that the possibility there were other sites was very real and that the information in the Bundy cases should have been protected over the years instead of being released in the manner that it was. It also raises questions about the questioning tactics at the 1989 interview where none of the evidence found at Taylor Mountain was discussed or the evidence at Issaquah - such as the bicycle shift cable noted as a find with a question mark. The girls that were missing and found at Taylor Mountain [heads] were also killed at Taylor Mountain per the evidence and the ME report which stated that they were not decapitated as some have claimed publicly. Several of the claims about the Bundy years which have now seemingly become "fact" are in reality not at all supported by the evidence that was supposed to be sealed for 75 years.

I was traumatized by Bundy and then traumatized by the very justice system I thought would protect me.

It's raw trauma that was delayed many years in its expression but it's real. I still believe the original testimony with all its flaws is of value.

To those who win any of the giveaways of the book Reconstructing Sara please bear in mind that severe trauma causes broken memory and impairs the ability of the person to express what happened.
