Right up Ted Bundy's alley, actually...he looked for girls with long dark hair...
Still, seems a very unlikely place to come across one, unless he had been scoping her out for a while...
I seem to recall but cannot cite a source (maybe the Michaud/Aynesworth book) that Ted himself did not feel that long, dark hair parted in the middle were part of his selection criteria.
Ted said he wanted attractive girls and, at that point in time, most attractive girls had long hair parted in the middle. I grew up during that time period and yeah, I had hair long enough to sit on that was sometimes parted in the middle (when you have long thick hair, there's a dozen easy ways to do it and a dozen more only slightly more difficult ways). Most of my friends and all the popular girls had long hair.
In other words, it was a skew from the fashions of the period. Somewhat like the way profilers used to think that serial killers stayed within their own race. That has changed and they've realised that the reason why earlier serial killers stayed within their own race was camouflage. Until about 30 years ago, inter-racial couples attracted too much attention.
Now that the race barriers have lowered somewhat, serial killers are free to branch out.
I keep wondering if Sierra was chosen because the perp has a fixation on cheerleaders.
