The State : Bundy Again Suspected

Two days after he died in Florida’s electric chair, serial killer Ted Bundy was called a “very serious suspect” in the 1972-73 murders of seven young Sonoma County women. Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Mike Brown said the Santa Rosa area victims all disappeared between February, 1972, and December, 1973. Six of the bodies were later found, and “all the murders were thought to have been probably done by the same individual.” Brown said, “Bundy was looked at as a very serious suspect.” Brown said he and other detectives will now cross-check their case files with the dates that Bundy was known to have been in Northern California, a place he visited often after attending summer school at Stanford University in 1967. “It is possible we can put some of these murders to Bundy,” Brown said. “We want to give the parents and relatives of these girls some peace of mind.” Santa Clara County authorities said Bundy was also suspected of two or three murders in the Stanford area.
