The reports are suspiciously different.Here are some archived newspaper articles about Heidi. It sounds as though her disappearance made the national news. I don't recall it at the time, but was in college, busy with other things, and of course there was no 24 hr news reporting.
Acording to this article, her clothing was found with her remains. I wonder if police kept any of the evidence, if it could be tested for DNA?

That is what I asked. I've never seen one.I’ve never read any height description? Can you please direct us to this information?
Here's a link to a newspaper article with a photo of the area. The location where she was found was actually in a city park, on a hillside in a brushy area. It looks very steep, its below a scenic bluff.Was her body or skull ever found? One post says her body (and possibly her clothes) was found in a trash can. Another says only her skull was found in a vacant lot among black berries bushes. Does anyone have a way to check the original paperwork from the police?
"Park Dept. employees retrieving a garbage can from a hill below a scenic bluff found bones of a child and clothing matching that of the missing girl Thursday afternoon."
Here's a link to another newspaper photo, with an arrow drawn pointing to the location.

Betty P, thank you for your research. And isn’t it odd the differing reports? No clothes were found to clothes were found. I just pray that justice prevails and the killer will be caught. Growing up near there, this case has haunted me for decades. Thanks again for posting the articles.This article and the two linked above both state that Heidi's remains were found with the clothing she was wearing that day.

would be interesting to know if the detectives and / or the crime lab still have the clothes. Couldn’t they do DNA testing?View attachment 482464
Another view of the hillside in the park where Heidi's remains were found. The area is to the left of the stairs.
They might. I can't find any recent news articles about her case, but they may have saved some of her clothes. Seattle PD were sure on a learning curve that year. Searching these articles about Heidi, I ran across so many articles about missing women - mostly all victims of Ted Bundy. They were trying to find Ted at the same time.Yes, her bones were in her coat

Same here. Her disappearance, her murder, change the fabric of feeling safe to be outside in your yard playing. For her family, for so many I hope that the killer will be found.Remembering Heidi today, 50 years after that tragic day. You left an impression on me as a 7 year old boy. I always hoped, and still do, that you will have justice. You are not forgotten!
You are correct. See the note I just wrote. My Dad and many other Capitol Hill Dads searched the entire area. They divided up all of the overgrown bushy areas near the freeway, around the neighborhood and my Dad’s section was where they ended up finding her nearly a year later. “I combed the entire area - she was NOT there” my Dad said someone put her there much later.I can't see how her body could possibly have been there all along just covered with blackberry bushes. The dogs would have found her and if not there would have been a decomposition smell.
