Caryn Campbell was 23 and a nurse when she vanished in Snowmass Village, Colorado, after walking back alone to the Wildwood Inn on the evening of January 12, 1975. Her nude, frozen body was found on a dirt road outside the resort on February 17, 1975. An autopsy showed she had been beaten with a blunt object leaving grooved depressions on her skull, and there were signs she had been tied, raped, and strangled. Identification was made by dental records.

Investigators linked Campbell’s killing to a multi‑state pattern of disappearances and focused on Ted Bundy. Hair samples in Bundy’s Volkswagen matched Campbell and other victims, a crowbar in his possession produced impressions consistent with the skull markings, and a ski guide among his belongings had an x next to the Wildwood Inn, where she was last seen. Colorado charged Bundy in October 1976, but after two escapes and later convictions in Florida he was never tried in Colorado. Bundy later confessed to striking Campbell with the crowbar and killing her in his car.

Does anyone have information about Caryn’s movements that evening or about witnesses who were near the Wildwood Inn on January 12, 1975?
