Survivor of Multiple Kidnappings by Ted Bundy – Yet WA State Denies She Exists

Reconstructing Sara:  The Lost Victim of Ted Bundy was published September 16, 2016.

The book “Reconstructing Sara” is currently being rewritten with case facts never before made public that reveal evidence that was thrown away, lost, and denied for decades…evidence which changes the face of the case and raises serious questions about conduct and responsibility to the public by WA State.

Reconstructing Sara is about my story as a survivor of multiple kidnappings by Ted Bundy.  I have been coming forward to authorities for over a decade since as far back at least as 2001.  My story, and my struggles with PTSD and brain damage from repeated concussion, is supported by details of the case which were never publicly released.  My emails date and time stamped, lined up to case facts which had been sealed in an area hidden away for decades….evidence that was denied publicly as existing.  Evidence that showed WA State failed in its responsibility to the public.  Sealing away critical evidence in a homicide series of investigations is called Spoilation of Evidence and it is a sign of corruption.  WA State also per internal memos ordered evidence destroyed and failed to protect other evidence critical to the cases such as over 100 pieces of evidence collected from Issaquah and Taylor Mountain crime scenes.  The girls were not decapitated there – that narrative is not true to the actual records and search and rescue notes of that day – the skeletal remains were found there and confirmed to be the girls decades later in 2005….why the wait and why the false narrative?

It took over 14 years before I was able to obtain the case files from the State of Washington to prove that my memories, time and date stamped over at least 15 years, contained details which I could not have known unless I was who I said I was:  the girl he had told FBI about before he was executed. The case files, which I received through FOIA requests and which I paid for, I do not believe were ever intended to be released.

These hidden case files show contrary to what WA State has claimed over the years that only jaws and skulls and a few bunches of hair were found on Taylor Mountain, in fact is not true and in reality the skeletal remains of the girls were found on site and logged in by search and rescue teams.  These skeletal remains were also logged in personally by Robert Keppel in March of 1975 and assigned evidence numbers which allow them to be tracked internally over the years.  The skeletal remains were sent forward to Superior Court in 1975 before Bundy was caught in Utah and after that the records show the remains were then moved to the ME office in 1984 where they sat until 2005 when they were sent to TX and were confirmed by DNA to be three of the girls found and identified initially by their skulls and jawbone fragments.  Additionally there was another set of bones which were not identified by DNA in 2005 and which did not match Hawkins.  Multiple people on site, professionals and not “kids” as has been the story put out publicly, were witness to the large amount of evidence removed from Taylor Mountain during the initial searches conducted in March of 1975.  That evidence included clothing, jewelry, evidence of the killer, weapons, skeletal remains, possible bondage and possible drug and alcohol related activity [Bundy was known through the autopsies of other victims to imbibe his victims with alcohol and other possible drugs].

This evidence was critical to unsolved cases yet these cases were not actively worked and no charges were levied at Bundy by WA State despite multiple witness statements, a prior rape complaint against him in 1972 that law enforcement knew of and which is noted multiple times in the records and despite him lining up on multiple levels [VW, age/appearance and locations].

The public story continues and the cases in WA State have been permanently compromised by all the disclosures of evidence and creative editing of evidence by officials in WA State.  It is time for the surviving victim to be heard and for the evidence that was sealed away and hidden to be revealed to the public.  An independent investigation by others not associated to WA State, to its friends or allies, would be the only type of investigation that would be objective.  WA State has demonstrated its willingness to cover up the truth by the very act of sealing away evidence and allowing an inaccurate and embellished account to become part of the public record.
