On the morning of January 15, 1978, Margaret Elizabeth Bowman, 21, a white student studying art history and classical civilizations at Florida State University, was murdered in her sleep inside the Chi Omega sorority house in Tallahassee. She was beaten with a piece of oak firewood and strangled with a stocking during an attack that lasted about fifteen minutes and also claimed the life of sorority sister Lisa Levy; two other residents, Karen Chandler and Kathy Kleiner, survived severe injuries. The assailant then attacked another student, Cheryl Thomas, in a nearby apartment.

The intruder was later identified as Theodore Robert Bundy. He was arrested on February 15, 1978, charged in the Florida cases, and found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Bowman and Levy on July 24, 1979, along with convictions for attempted murder and burglary. Bundy subsequently confessed to multiple murders and was executed in Florida on January 24, 1989.

Are there readers who remember the Chi Omega house or the campus that night and can share what they recall?
