On October 1, 1974, 16-year-old Nancy Wilcox left her family home in Holladay, a Salt Lake City suburb, after an argument with her parents about her boyfriend and never returned. Her parents reported her missing on October 2, but police initially treated the case as a teenage runaway; that delay lasted nearly a month while other young women in the area began disappearing.

Nancy was a junior at Olympus High School, a cheerleader, active in her church and working as a waitress. A few months before she vanished she had filed a police report alleging she had been abducted and raped by a man who had given her a ride home; that investigation ended after the suspect passed a polygraph and the case was dismissed as unfounded. Witnesses after her disappearance reported seeing a young woman matching her description in the passenger seat of a yellow Volkswagen Bug.

Ted Bundy later confessed to killing Nancy, giving varying accounts of abducting and assaulting her and providing a possible burial area near Capitol Reef National Park; searches based on his directions found no remains and no charges were filed against him for this killing. Does anyone have information about Nancy’s last evening or about the yellow Volkswagen Bug sighting?
