## Opal Mills

### Cause of death

Strangulation

**Opal Charmaine Mills** (April 12, 1966 - August 12, 1982) was a teenager who was murdered by Gary Ridgway in SeaTac, Washington, on August 12, 1982. She was Ridgway's sixth known murder victim.

## Background

Marcia was born on April 12, 1966, in Washington. She was often referred to as "Little Opal" as a child. Opal was close to her older brother, and she often shared her plans to get rich and take care of their mother with him. Opal's father was often abusive towards the family.

As Opal went through her teenage years, she was described as "boy crazy," causing her to start dating. Opal dropped out of school sometime in her teenage years but began attending a continuation school. It's unknown whether Opal was a sex worker at the time of her murder.

## Disappearance

Opal was last heard from by her brother on August 12, 1982, asking for a ride. She told him she was planning to do a painting job with her friend, Cynthia Hinds. It's unknown what happened to her after this phone call.

## Discovery

Opal was identified as being one of three bodies pulled from the Green River on August 15, 1982, with the other victims being Marcia Chapman and Cynthia Hinds, the friend Opal was planning to meet when she disappeared.

It's unknown if they met that day, as Cynthia was last heard from the day before Opal's disappearance. All three women were either nude or partially clothed and were strangled. All three women were also raped, as semen was found in their bodies.

## Aftermath

The bodies of Wendy Coffield and Debra Bonner were pulled from the river on previous days. All five women were believed to have been killed by the same person, who was dubbed the "Green River Killer."

The killer's second known murder victim, Gisele Lovvorn, was discovered in SeaTac, Washington, in September 1982, meaning the killer had murdered at least six women at the time of the discovery of Opal, Cynthia, and Marcia.

In 2001, the semen collected from the bodies of Marcia, Opal, and Cynthia matched a man named Gary Ridgway. He was convicted of all three of the murders and later confessed to the murders of forty-six other women.

## Kathy Parks

### Cause of death

Unknown

**Roberta Kathleen "Kathy" Parks** (February 27, 1954 - May 6, 1974) was a young woman who was murdered by Ted Bundy in Washington on May 6, 1974. She was Bundy's fourth known murder victim.

## Background

Kathy was born on February 27, 1954, in Lakewood, Ohio. On an unknown date, she began attending Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon.

## Disappearance

Kathy left her dormitory on May 6, 1974, to have coffee with some of her friends. She was supposed to meet her friends at the Memorial Union, but never showed up.

## Discovery

Kathy's remains were found on March 3, 1975, in Issaquah, Washington, in a wooded area near Taylor Mountain. She was identified four days later. Her cause of death couldn't be determined, but her case was deemed a homicide.

## Aftermath

### Initial Aftermath

When Kathy disappeared, police began to get worried. She was the fourth college-age woman to disappear from the Pacific Northwest in four months. They didn't have much concrete evidence at this time, but all of the cases were believed to be connected, and were believed to have been committed by a man in a sling, who went by the name "Ted," as this man was seen in the area at the time of some of the disappearances.

### Identification of Killer

The man would later be identified as Ted Bundy, who was first apprehended in 1975. He had been a suspect in the Washington and Oregon murders for a while, but there was no substantial evidence against him. He escaped in late December 1977, and murdered three women in Florida. He was apprehended for the final time on February 15, 1978.

Bundy confessed to Kathy's murder, along with twenty-nine other murders, very shortly before his execution on January 24, 1989. He said he noticed her in the college's cafeteria, and approached her. He convinced her to go with him to a bar, but as soon as she got in his car, Bundy tied, and gagged her. He drove back to Washington, raping Kathy twice on the way, and murdered her in Washington, before dumping her body at Taylor mountain, where she would be found.

Rosie Hilliard

**Rosina "Rosie" Hilliard** (c. 1950 - 22 February 1974) was a young woman who is suspected to have been murdered by Peter Sutcliffe in Leicester, England, on 22 February 1974. If Sutcliffe murdered her, Rosie would be his first murder victim.

## Background

Rosie was born sometime in or around 1950 in Loughborough, England. Rosie spent most of her early years in children's homes. She was described as having a fiery temper.

Police believe that Rosie was a sex worker, but it was never confirmed. Rosie had reportedly undergone psychiatric treatment sometime in her life, the nature of this treatment being unknown.

## Discovery

Rosie's body was discovered on 22 February 1974. A lorry driver was driving through the area when he spotted what he initially thought was a bundle of rags. Upon moving closer to this bundle, the driver spotted Rosie's red shoes, which was when he realised he found a body.

Rosie was quickly identified as the woman found. It appeared her cause of death was vehicle-related, but evidence showed she was strangled and then ran over with the killer's car to make Rosie's murder look like a hit-and-run accident.

Numerous items Rosie had that night were missing, including a straw-coloured wig, her handbag, and a knife that she owned, which was used to stab a woman the previous night.

## Aftermath

Police, using evidence from the scene, were able to narrow the type of car that hit Rosie down to approximately six models. From this, police deduced that the car was most likely a Ford Escort, though similar car models can't be ruled out.

In 2015, authors Chris Clark and Tim Tate published a book titled "Yorkshire Ripper: The Secret Murders," which claimed that numerous other women were victims of Peter Sutcliffe, a man who murdered at least thirteen women between the years of 1975 and 1980 in England. One of the murders Clark and Tate claimed could have been committed by Sutcliffe was Rosie's.

Clark and Tate discovered evidence that Sutcliffe was delivering goods to and from the area at the time of Rosie's murder. It's unknown if police investigated Sutcliffe as a suspect in Rosie's murder.

On 13 November 2020, Sutcliffe died in prison. He had a private funeral, and his body was cremated.

Yvonne Pearson

**Yvonne Ann Pearson** (2 February 1956 - 21 January 1978) was a young woman who was murdered by Peter Sutcliffe in Bradford, England, on 21 January 1978. She was Sutcliffe's seventh known murder victim, though his eighth victim, Helen Rytka, was discovered before her.

## Background

Yvonne was born in February 1956 in Leeds, England. At the time of her murder, she lived with her two children in her flat in Bradford. It was theorised that Yvonne was a sex worker, but it was never confirmed.

## Disappearance

Yvonne was last seen leaving her flat in Bradford, Leeds, on 21 January 1978. She left her children with a babysitter. Fears spread that her disappearance may have been connected to the murders of six women in Bradford, Leeds, and Manchester.

Yvonne was last seen in the heart of the Bradford red-light district, less than a kilometer from another victim, Tina Atkinson's, murder site.

## Discovery

Two months after her disappearance, Yvonne's body was discovered in Bradford, England, when someone noticed her under an old sofa. She was hit on the head with a ball-peen hammer, then her killer repeatedly jumped on her chest. She also had horse hair used as a lining for the sofa stuffed in her mouth.

## Aftermath

Police didn't immediately connect Yvonne's murder to the other murders due to the differing injuries that Yvonne sustained. Police thought Yvonne's murder was the work of a "copycat killer". Yvonne's murder was linked to the Yorkshire Ripper killings in September 1978 along with the 1975 murder of Joan Harrison, who would later be ruled out as a victim.

Yvonne was the seventh victim of the Yorkshire Ripper killings. The perpetrator would be identified in January 1981 as Peter Sutcliffe. He confessed to Yvonne's murder along with the murders of twelve other women.

Mimi's disappearance wasn't connected to the Green River killings before her remains were discovered, but her case was immediately suspected of being linked to the murders once her remains were recovered.

It wouldn't be until 2001 that her killer, Gary Ridgway, would be apprehended. He was convicted of Mimi's murder, along with the murders of forty-eight other women.

## Rita Jolly

### Cause of death

Unknown

**Rita Lorraine Jolly** (December 6, 1955 - June 29, 1973) was a teenager who is suspected to have been murdered by Ted Bundy in West Linn, Oregon, on June 29, 1973. If Bundy murdered her, she would be his first known murder victim.

## Background

Rita was born on December 6, 1955, in Clackamas County, Oregon. Details surrounding her life are unavailable.

## Disappearance

Rita was last seen in West Linn, Oregon, on June 29, 1973. She left her home to go for a walk, and was last seen walking uphill, but never returned home.

## Aftermath

### Initial Aftermath

Rita was the first of three girls and young women to disappear in Oregon in 1973. The next girl to disappear was 17-year old Susan "Sue" Wickersham. Her remains would be found three years later. The final girl to disappear was 24-year-old Vicki Hollar, who, like Rita, has never been found.

### Ted Bundy as a suspect

After the arrest of serial killer Ted Bundy, he became a suspect in Vicki and Rita's disappearances. He is not a suspect in Sue's murder, however. Shortly before his execution, Bundy confessed to all the murders attributed to him, but there wasn't enough time to ask about Vicki and Rita specifically.

However, Bundy reportedly confessed to murdering two women in Oregon, but never told police their names. These women are believed to have been Rita and Vicki, but this has never been confirmed. Bundy remains a suspect in Vicki and Rita's disappearances.

## Diana Munyon

### Cause of death

Unknown

**Diana Ladene Munyon** (September 8, 1965 - c. May 1982) was a teenager who is suspected to have been murdered by Gary Ridgway in c. May 1982. If Ridgway murdered her, she would be his first known murder victim.

Her remains have never been recovered.

## Background

Diana was born in likely Mississippi on September 8, 1965. Details surrounding her childhood are unavailable.

## Disappearance

Diana ran away from her Fulton, Mississippi home in 1981, but she last contacted her family in Fontana, California, in May 1982. She is believed to have traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, or Seattle, Washington, after this contact.

## Aftermath

### Initial Aftermath

The initial aftermath of Diana's disappearance is unknown, likely because she wasn't heavily reported on because she was considered a runaway, even years after her last contact with her family.

### Ties to Gary Ridgway

It's unknown when, but it was noticed Diana bore a strong resemblance to an unidentified victim of Gary Ridgway, also known as the Green River Killer. She was a runaway, like many Green River victims, and may have travelled to Seattle, Washington, where most victims disappeared from. It's unknown if Ridgway was ever questioned about Diana's disappearance.

Jan Ott

## Jan Ott

### Cause of death

Unknown

**Janice Anne "Jan" Ott** (née Blackburn) (February 14, 1951 - July 14, 1974) was a young woman who who was murdered by Ted Bundy in Issaquah, Washington, on July 14, 1974. She was Bundy's seventh known murder victim.

## Background

Jan was born on February 14, 1974, in McMinnville, Oregon. She married on December 28, 1971, and was working as a probation caseworker at the King County Juvenile Court.

## Disappearance

Janice was last seen at the beach at Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah, Washington, on July 14, 1974. She was seen talking to a young man wearing a white tennis outfit, with his arm in a sling. She went with him, and was last seen leaving the beach.

This man had been seen earlier that day. He asked four women to help him unload his sailboat from his tan or bronze-colored Volkswagen Beetle. He spoke with a light, possibly Canadian or British, accent, and was named "Ted." Out of the four, one woman went with him, but ran away when she saw there was no sailboat there. The man was seen asking the same question to Jan.

## Discovery

Jan and Denise's remains were discovered when two grouse hunters stumbled upon the site. Neither woman's cause of death could be determined, but both cases were deemed homicides.

Additionally, a femur and several vertebrae which didn't belong to Jan or Denise were discovered. It's believed the remains belong to Georgann Hawkins, another missing woman. The remains haven't been officially identified, meaning Georgann remains a missing person.

## Aftermath

### Initial Aftermath

Four hours after Jan disappeared, another woman, Denise Naslund, disappeared from the park, after leaving to use the restroom. After police learned of both cases, they presumed they were connected, and were committed by the man Jan was last seen with. Police also presumed the disappearances were connected to others in the area, namely those of Brenda Ball and Susan Rancourt.

### Identification of Killer

The man would later be identified as Ted Bundy, who was first apprehended in 1975. He had been a suspect in the Washington and Oregon murders for a while, but there was no substantial evidence against him. He escaped in late December 1977, and murdered three women in Florida. He was apprehended for the final time on February 15, 1978.

Bundy confessed to Jan and Denise's murders. He told police that Jan was still alive when he returned home with Denise, and he assaulted and murdered one while the other watched. He presumably assaulted and murdered the other after this. Bundy also confessed to twenty-eight other murders, very shortly before his execution on January 24, 1989.

Unknown

**Sandra Denise Major** (January 17, 1962 - December 24, 1982), known as **Jane Doe B-16** or **Bones 16** while unidentified, was a young woman who was murdered by Gary Ridgway in Seattle, Washington, on December 24, 1982. She was Ridgway's sixteenth known murder victim. She was identified in June 2012.

## Disappearance

Sandra was reported missing by a friend on December 24, 1982. They told police they last saw her getting into a truck. It's unknown what happened to her afterward.

## Discovery

Sandra's remains were discovered on December 30, 1985, in a ravine near Mountain View Cemetery in Auburn, Washington. Her cause of death couldn't be determined, though her case was deemed a homicide.

Sandra's remains were the second set recovered in the area. Mimi Pitsor's remains were found in December 1983, and the remains of Lori Razpotnik were recovered in January 1986, though her remains were initially discovered in February 1984. The remains of Shelly Antosh were found near the area in October 1983.

## Aftermath

All three women were linked to the Green River killings as soon as their remains were recovered, though Mimi was the only victim to be identified.

The Green River Killer was identified as Gary Ridgway in 2001. He confessed to most murders attributed to him, including Sandra's. He was convicted of her murder, along with the murders of forty-eight other women.

### Identification

In April 2012, one of Sandra's cousins watched a TV movie about the Green River killings. The movie urged anyone with information about Ridgway's unidentified victims to come forward.

Sandra's cousin recognized that the reconstruction of Jane Doe B-16 looked like Sandra, who they knew disappeared from Washington in 1982. They called the King County sheriff's office about the potential match. DNA testing confirmed the remains belonged to Sandra in June 2012.

Unknown

Sue excused herself from the banquet to walk to her dormitory to brush her teeth. Sue left the banquet, and was never seen again.

## Aftermath

### Initial Aftermath

After Sue disappeared, police immediately determined Sue had likely never arrived at her dorm room, as her toothbrush was dry.

Sue was not believed to have been abducted, as she was a chronic runaway, and was allegedly seen at in a university class four days later, trying to sell a textbook. The professor identified Sue as the girl from her photo.

It was noted that in 1974, four other teenage girls were the victims of brutal murders in Utah. All of these cases were believed to be connected, and two of the girls, Debi Kent and Nancy Wilcox, remained missing, but Debi's patella (knee cap) was found in 1989, and was identified in 2015.

### Identification of Killer

Sue's presumed killer would later be identified as Ted Bundy, who was first apprehended in 1975. He was a suspected in many disappearances in Washington and Oregon, but it's unknown if he was during the Utah murders. He escaped in late December 1977, and murdered three women in Florida. He was apprehended for the final time on February 15, 1978.

Bundy confessed to Sue's murder, claiming to have buried her body along a highway near Price, Utah. While he didn't confess to sexually assaulting her, it was part of his *modus operandi* and was his motive. Her remains have never been recovered.
