Original ESAR Evidence List From Taylor Mountain: Does not support public story

I would like to make a public statement here about accountability:  not only to victims and families and myself, but to those professionals who worked Taylor Mountain thoroughly and who did their jobs – in all nearly 550 people/professionals.  They did what the justice department expected of them and they recorded and processed the evidence according to the ethics and standards of that day…..Only to be betrayed by the very entity they worked for:  the officials who sought to cover up the evidence and lie about the conduct of the people who worked on the Bundy cases at both Issaquah and Taylor Mountain and behind the scenes trying to do the right thing.  I hope people think about that and recognize that these people have been defamed as “kids” and bumbling about as though they had no idea of what they were doing  –  it simply isn’t true.

ESAR finds Taylor Mountain– March of 1975 =  [158 finds]  these are copied here directly from the Original documents in the Search and Rescue files and reports of that day in 1975.  These were not “kids” but professionals — many of whom drove many miles to help on site.  In all there were nearly 550 people who were on site at Taylor Mountain from 3-3-1975 to 3-8-1975.  There were also Civil Air Patrol and helicopter aerial work as well.  In addition, records show that Tiger Mountain was searched and additional records indicate that some finds were on Tiger Mountain.  Was there a third site also that authorities have denied?

In addition to these finds, a group of detectives went out to the crime scene one month approximately after the initial search and rescue teams were out there.  One detective returned with a human skeletal remain and logged it in with his identification number and it too was sent to Superior Court as evidence.  This was in 1975 before Bundy was picked up in Utah.  That bone, skeletal, was later in 2005 [per its evidence number] matched to one of the girls found on site per DNA.  This contradicts again the public narrative that nothing was found there but skulls and also begs the question as to why these detectives were out there again and why they too have remained silent and empowered and allowed the false narrative to be put forward as fact to the public.  At the same time, another detective was taking in an axe handle, and a leather beaded corded necklace that was Bundy’s in WA.  A leather beaded type of necklace was also found on one of Bundy’s victims per their autopsy report in Utah.  What was going on back then for officials to go to such great lengths to prevent the public from knowing the truth about the WA State activity by Bundy? Was it simply the fact that Bundy had been working with the FBI on a project in 1973 per the records or is it something else?  He was a prolific serial killer just like any other serial killer but he has been turned into a legend by the officials who have used this case to build their careers and profit from it.  In my opinion….at the expense of the victims, public trust and accountability, and at the expense of the very institution’s values and ethics that they represent.

Note:  On the maps of the search area of Taylor Mountain, across the stream from where find #30 [blue jean material], #55 [tennis shoe], #80 [bone], #57 [clothing] and #58 [green coat] there is an “x” labeled simply “clothing pile”.  This is not noted on the finds list. Is this something they found as a “pile” and did not note it as deemed it insignificant or is this where they tossed any clothing items [in a general pile] -?  Regardless, in a serial killer case where many young girls were missing, any clothing or evidence found would be critically important to preserve – even if it is ruled out later and even if it is a “pile”.

Note:  Chemical bottles [find #25] were found within the crime scene at Taylor Mountain.  Bundy told Liz in Utah that he had date rape drugs.  It is noted in her book.  He worked with a medical supply company and would have had access to these drugs.  He also talked of the use of drugs and alcohol to ply victims while they were held captive.  One Utah victim’s blood tests showed alcohol poisoning in her autopsy report. I also complained of feeling drugged and could not remember most of the rapes and what happened while I was held in captivity and this is documented in emails going back to 2001 as well the memory lapses in my recollections which remain even now.  These chemical bottles were important to the crime scene.  Bottles were also found at Issaquah but were not noted as to type.  Both Taylor Mountain and Issaquah crime sites were near to abandoned homes as well as these are noted in the police records.  In those abandoned homes there was red matter collected from the walls of the basement as evidence potentially.  It is not noted what happened to this red matter/evidence in the records that I have.  There is a lot here – I personally would like to know why all of this information was suppressed from public knowledge and an account made public which denied its existence.  Especially when so many unsolved cases remain and Bundy was a prolific serial killer and the FBI report in 1992 essentially just gave up on all of it with a statement of “we’ll never know” – perhaps -but we certainly never had a chance to know when they concealed all that they did and released so much publicly that isn’t supported by the actual case files.
