- Ted Bundy confessed to the murder of a teenage girl hitchhiking in Idaho during the 1970s.
- The girl, believed to be a runaway, has never been identified, and her remains have not been found.
- Investigators are now appealing to the public for any information that could help solve this cold case.
In 1989, shortly before his execution, convicted serial killer Ted Bundy confessed to numerous murders he committed in the 1970s. Among these confessions, he claimed to have picked up a teenage girl hitchhiking near Boise, Idaho, in 1974, but her identity remains unknown. Authorities, led by Ada County Sheriff’s Office investigator Tim Cooper, are keen to find information from the public to help identify the victim. Bundy had previously called his girlfriend from a nearby town and was confirmed to be in the area at the time of the alleged crime. The investigator believes that the public's assistance is crucial in solving this nearly 50-year-old case, especially as the girl’s remains have never been found, and details about her such as carrying a green backpack and wearing a distinctive necklace are scarce yet noteworthy. The case remains open, and Cooper urges anyone with information to come forward to potentially shed light on this mystery.
