Name: Roberta Kathleen Parks, 20 years-old.
Disappeared: May 6, 1974, from OSU in Corvalles, Oregon.
Found: Mar 3, 1975 Taylor Mountain, Wa.
Kathy was a tall slender girl with long, ash blond hair, and was majoring in world religions. She'd had a miserable week when she disappeared. She was homesick for her family in California, and had broken up with her boyfriend. May 4th she'd had an argument with her father on the phone, and her sister called from Spokane on May 6th to tell her their father had suffered a massive heart attack. Her sister called later with the good news that their father would recover.
It's speculated that Kathy was feeling terrible guilt over the argument and the heart attack that followed. That night, she agreed to walk to another dorm hall to have coffee with friends. She never arrived. Her skull was excavated with the others on Taylor Mountain, so far away from her Oregon dorm. Bundy confessed to her murder before his execution.
