Thank you so much for sharing all of this information together. Carol was my Aunt... My mother is Shirley her sister. There's been a life long dark cloud over this topic in our family since this happened. My mother and other aunt's (Carols other younger siblings) fear there will never be any form of closure if this remains unsolved. My self and some other cousins are going to try again to get some real answers and current actions! There's FAR to much shady information and going ons and our family DESERVES at least the respect of law enforcement to not only do their jobs but to help the families of victims in EVERY way possible! Sadly they have left quite a few stones unturned in this case in recent years with new technology that's not being used as it should in unsolved Cold cases! It was nice to see someone else still speaking of her after all these years and it was a great help to have so many articles on one place! So again Thank You!

A year earlier, there was a brutal double murder in nearby Ocean City that I did a piece on.

Where was Bundy on 6/8/70? The sketch and description sure look like him

I don't think the sketches particularly look like Bundy, but I certainly think these sketches can be of the same person. And I DON'T believe authorities have put these similarities together. To you question, I believe Bundy was living in Philly while attending Temple during this time period

It seems strange that all 3 men initially suspected were reported released based on lie detector results! I'm not sure that would happen today, when such tests are not considered permissible in a court of law.

Carol's case seems perfect for genetic testing, if only to rule out these 3 men-- though imo I think there's a very strong likelihood that at least one of them were directly involved.

I agree that the sketches are of the same person, definitely, but I don't think that they look like Bundy. Seems like each witness described a man with a very wide forehead (among other similar attributes such as large almond-shaped & level eyes) and I don't see Bundy as sharing that characteristic.

I hope Carol's family can find answers. If Othram or another forensic genetics company could become engaged, I would definitely contribute to the cost. Best of luck to you and your family, Susanna.

Totally agree - the person in these sketches is NOT bundy, but also not be of the actual killer

Was the suspect who was speaking to her at the bar (police sketch) the night of her death ever found, questioned and cleared?
