Georgann Hawkins was an 18-year-old University of Washington student who vanished in Seattle on June 11, 1974. She was finishing her freshman year with an A average. On the night of June 10 she left a boyfriend’s fraternity house about 1:00 a.m. and walked the short, well-lit 90-foot alley back to her Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house. A friend in a second-story room saw her pass and later heard a strange cackling laugh in the darkness; she was last seen about 50 feet from her sorority door and never made it inside.

Police were notified the next morning amid a string of recent disappearances of young women. Years later, shortly before his 1989 execution, Ted Bundy confessed to abducting and killing Georgann, describing a ruse with crutches and a dropped briefcase, an assault with a crowbar, and later strangulation. Bundy said her remains were partly treated and buried in separate locations and that some partial bones were recovered near Issaquah with other victims, but those fragments were never positively identified as hers and no further remains were found.

Georgann remains officially listed as missing and her body has not been recovered. Did anyone in the Seattle area remember Georgann’s routine or that alley on the night she disappeared?
