Julie Cunningham was 26 and living in Vail, Colorado, when she disappeared on the evening of March 15, 1975. She worked at a ski shop and as a part-time ski instructor and was walking from her Apollo Park neighborhood apartment to a nearby tavern; she never arrived. At the time she vanished she was wearing a brown suede jacket, blue jeans, a ski cap, and boots.

Years after her disappearance, Ted Bundy confessed to abducting and murdering Julie, saying he was in Vail that night, used crutches to solicit help carrying ski boots, knocked her unconscious, handcuffed her, drove her to a remote area near Rifle about 80 to 90 miles west of Vail, sexually assaulted her, and strangled her when she tried to escape. He said he buried her in a shallow grave in high desert and returned to the site weeks later. Extensive searches, including one with a bloodhound in April 1989, have not located her remains. No arrest was ever made in her case.

Does anyone have information about Julie’s last evening in Vail or about travel on the routes west toward Rifle in March 1975?
