Name: Susan Elaine Rancourt, 19 years-old.
Disappeared: April 17, 1974, Central Wa. State College, Ellensburg.
Found: Mar 3, 1975 Taylor Mountain, Wa.
Susan differed from the other girls, being a pretty blonde with a curvy figure that made her self conscious, and large blue eyes. She stood 5 ft 2 at 120 lbs. She was one of 6 children, and worked 2 full-time jobs 7 days a week the summer before her freshman year, to pay for tuition. She was an extremely shy but brilliant girl with ambitions to go into medicine. Her family moved away to Alaska and she had the courage to stay behind and attend CWSC.
In college she was averaging a 4.0 and working full time in a nursing home. She had a boyfriend in another area, and she jogged every morning and took karate classes. She was terrified of the dark. She never went anywhere alone. Not until the night of April 17. It was mid-term finals and she'd learned of a new job opening for dorm advisors. Always looking for a chance to make more money to support herself, and being preoccupied with finals, she took a rare chance--one that cost her very life. At 8 pm she took a load of clothes to the campus laundry, then walked to the advisor's meeting by herself. It was dark, but the campus was hopping with students.
The meeting ended at 9, and she'd planned to meet a friend to see a German film. The friend finally went alone when Susan never showed. Susan was last seen leaving the advisor's meeting. Investigators found only her skull as they excavated Taylor Mountain, Bundy's graveyard of severed heads. It was brutally fractured. Bundy confessed to her murder before his execution.
