Little girl’s disapperance in 1961 may have been at hands of infamous serial killer
It was a dark and stormy night — a cliche’ often used to begin a story — but in this case, it’s actually true.
National best -selling author, Rebecca Morris wrote about it in her book, “Ted and Ann”, saying ,“There was a storm that night. It was just before Labor Day weekend. It rained very hard for Tacoma and there was a lot of wind, and power went out in certain neighborhoods.”
It was August 31, 1961. Ann Marie Burr and her family were hunkered down for the night. “It was kind of the last hurrah for the children in the family. Ann was the oldest of four. She was eight and a half and a couple of the kids slept in the basement in their fort, but Ann and her little sister stayed in their bedrooms upstairs,” Morris continues.

Ann’s mother wrote to Bundy asking if he kidnapped her daughter. Time and time again, he denied it, writing, “I do not know what happened to your daughter and had nothing to do with her disappearance.” But, an interview he gave shortly before his execution cast grave doubts on his claim. “Speaking in the third person hypothetically, he basically told the story about a very early crime where he took a young girl out of a house, sexually assaulted her in the orchard next door. “There was an orchard next to the Burr house, and he said he left her in a deep ditch and watched as the Burr parents and police searched,” Morris says.
Ted Bundy wasn’t known for telling the truth and enjoyed playing games. It’s been a half century since Ann vanished and some believe she may have been dumped in a ditch near her home while construction for the University of Puget Sound was underway. “There was a day when I realized that it was in the police report that Ann’s father had come back from searching the college campus and gone to the police and said, ‘You should look at those ditches up there where they’re building buildings because some are 30 feet deep and covered with water,’ and three days later it’s in the police report they’ve gone up to look at them and they’ve already been filled in and paved over.”

Even though Ted Bundy has been a focus of the investigation, police have not ruled out the other suspects they first considered.
