Who Has Both A Connection To Ellensburg And Mccleary?

[Theorythinker]

I am looking for combinations that link both McCleary and Ellensburg to work on theories.
Thank you for any pieces of this puzzle.

Central Washington University is in Ellensburg, so I almost wonder if her killer had some connection to it, such as a child who went to school there. Total reach, I admit, but Ellensburg isn't really a popular spot.
