Name: Melissa Smith, 17 years-old.
Disappeared: Oct 18,1974 Midvale, Utah.
Found: Oct 27, 1974 near Summit park, in the Wasatch Mountains.

Melissa was the daughter of Midvale's police chief and was a very cautious girl. Midvale itself was a small Mormon town, very quiet, and though her father worried about his kids and taught them to be safety-aware, Melissa had little to fear in the tiny community. Standing 5 ft 3, Melissa was a small, pretty girl with long dark hair parted in the middle.

October 18th, Melissa had plans to attend a slumber party. She ended up walking to the local pizza parlor to console a friend who'd had a quarrel with her boyfriend. After this, she left to pick her overnight clothes up and go to the party. She never made it home, and she never made it to the party. The teenager who'd gone to comfort a friend in need, was found battered and nude 9 days later, far from the small town she'd grown up in.

Her head had been severely beaten with perhaps a crowbar, and her body had been battered before death.She had been strangled, raped and sodomized. Bundy confessed to her murder before his execution.

Name: Debby Kent, 17 years-old.
Disappeared: Nov 8, 1975 Bountiful, Utah.
Found: Never

Debby was a pretty girl, with long brown hair parted in the middle. Her father was recovering from a heart attack, and the night of Nov.8, he was feeling well enough to attend a high school play with Debby and her mother. They dropped her younger brother off at the local skating rink and went on to the high school. Debby called the skating rink at intermission to let her brother know the play wouldn't end until well after 10, then returned to her seat.

She offered to pick up her brother while her parents stayed behind at the school, and hurried away to the parking lot around 10:30 pm. Several people who lived near the school later admitted to hearing 2 short, terrified screams between 10:30 and 11. They described them as coming from someone in "mortal terror." They even walked outside and stared into the darkness, hoping to find the source. They saw nothing, and they reported nothing. Debby's brother waited at the rink while the crowds thinned at the high school, leaving her irritated parents waiting til midnight.

When they realized theirs was the only car left in the parking lot, they immediately called the Bountiful police, who were all to familiar with the recent disappearances in nearby towns. Later, a father told police he'd arrived late at the play and saw a light colored VW bug racing away from the school. A small handcuff key was found in the parking lot, one that fit the cuffs Carol DaRonch had brought in. Nothing else was turned up. Debby Kent's family faced a tragic, heart broken Christmas, along with Melissa Smith's and Laura Aime's families.Bundy confessed to her murder before his execution.
