Name: Lynda Ann Healy 21 years-old.
Disappeared: Jan 31, 1974 Seattle, Wa.
Found: March 3, 1975 Taylor Mountain, Wa.
A tall, slender beautiful girl with long dark hair and blue eyes, Lynda worked as a ski forecaster for Northwest Ski Reports. She was a senior at WSU, majoring in psychology. She had grown up in a sheltered middle-upper class home near Seattle. She sang beautifully, but her real love was working with mentally handicapped children. She lived in a house with 4 other female college students, and all had heard of the attack on Joni Lenz, and were normally very cautious.
On Jan 31, Lynda rose at 5:30 am like always, and bicycled over to the Reports office just a few blocks away. Her day was spent in normal classes and activities, and at one point, she wrote the last letter of her young life, to a good friend, mentioning the dinner she was making for her parents the following evening - a very warm, happy letter. She retired to bed at her usual early hour that night, and no one heard or saw anything. When her roommates came home and went to bed, they didn't disturb her, thinking she was asleep. At 5:30 am, her alarm went off and the girl in the room next to hers awoke to it, then dozed off again.
At 6, when her own alarm went off, she was surprised to hear Lynda's still blaring. She went in and turned it off, noticing the bed was immaculately made, which was very unusual, since Lynda never made it until after returning from work. Lynda's boss called shortly after, and it was soon realized that Lynda had not biked to work. Her bike was still in the basement, and the side door was unlocked, which alarmed all the girls. Lynda was a very dependable girl and never missed work, never left the door unlocked, and never walked off without informing someone of her plans.
Her parents showed up for the dinner she never made, and they knew then, how serious it was. They called the police. Upon investigation, the police pulled back her bedcovers and found a heavily blood stained pillowcase and blood-soaked sheets. Her nightgown was found stuffed in her closet, the neck line crusted with dried blood. The clothes she'd worn that day were missing. Not one trace of the attacker or her body could be found. A year later, during a thorough investigation of what came to be known as Bundy's graveyard, Lynda's skull was found, bearing the unmistakable marks of vicious battering. Bundy confessed to her murder before his execution.
