Pre-Report Double List by Dave Struve, June 1974

From 1974 to 1975 the King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) worked with agencies in California (as well as other western states) to investigate whether each state's recent unsolved female homicides (UFHs) were related. Many, many files and records were generated during this collaboration, many of which list different combinations of possibly related UFHs. 

The list of likely victims was eventually narrowed down to 22: fourteen in CA — including seven SRHM victims — and eight in OR and WA (primarily KCSO cases). This investigation culminated in the CA DOJ publishing a report on the 22 victims in February 1975; that report, written/compiled by Dave Struve of the CA DOJ, is available here.

I am interested in these files because many, if not all, of the CA victims are relevant to this blog. Furthermore, this is, as of September 2025, one of the — if not the — only official set of records I've been able to get my hands on for many of these cases, as California's Public Records Act (PRA) deems investigative files as exempt from disclosure, so I have been unable to obtain any when submitting PRA requests to the actual respective agencies.

By the second half of 1975 it was determined that the cases under KCSO jurisdiction (as well as many others) were committed by serial killer Ted Bundy, though none of the CA cases have been attributed to him. 

Despite this, KCSO — unlike many CA agencies, including CA DOJ — not only retained all their files generated during this interstate investigation, but have also made them available among its other Bundy files in a Dropbox through the King County Archives. Due to the large volume of records in a semi-disorganized fashion, I have gone through and separated the relevant ones into related chunks, including the one below. Many of these files that I am sharing specifically originated from Box 25, Folder 11, "924-25-11 California Criminal Intelligence" of the King County Archives' Dropbox.

A full list of all files pertaining to the above that I have made available on this site can be found on the sidebar of this blog under the title KCSO File Index. 

The record below specifically consists of pages 62, 65, and 77-79 from Box 25, Folder 11, "924-25-11 California Criminal Intelligence" of the King County Archives' Dropbox.

The first document explains how the subsequent files came into KCSO's possession, i.e., they were sent by the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) in August 1974. This first page mentions "copies of information [that SCSO] ha[s] compiled regarding [UFHs] in our county" that were sent alongside the letter: that set of files can be found here.

The second page below is a copy of the "memo" that was created after a meeting between SCSO and Dave Struve of the CA DOJ, which was mentioned on the first page. The final three pages contain the two lists of CA UFHs, which were created by Struve in June 1974 and mentioned on the first page of this document. This double list was eventually narrowed down by Struve into the list of victims in his 1975 CA DOJ report.

Furthermore, prior to being uploaded to Dropbox, many of these files were more-or-less redacted by KCSO in accordance with laws regarding what can or cannot be disclosed when responding to a public records requests. On this blog post, below the original images that were taken straight from the KCSO Dropbox, are copies of the final two images, on which I have added notes regarding the contents of redacted information. I have determined the contents of the redacted information — primarily victim names — based on date, location, etc. All text in Helvetica/Arial/etc font is my work, and is representative of what I strongly believe to be the original contents of the files.  

"Unredacted" Copies of the Two Lists

* Roxie Ann Phillips: [More-or-less] SOLVED
In early Aug. 1969, investigators determined that Roxie had been murdered by John Norman Collins, aka the Michigan Murderer. He was formally indicted for Roxie's death in April 1970.

The evidence (both physical & circumstantial) linking Collins to Roxie's murder was stronger than any of the Michigan murders that he was linked to and went to trial for. However, in Jan. 1972, CA authorities waived all extradition proceedings against Collins; the stated reasoning was that, "as Collins had already received a life sentence in Michigan, the case therefore was undeserving of 'priority attention' by California authorities, in part due to the fact Collins would be returned to Michigan to serve his sentence if convicted."

Because of this, no one has ever been brought to trial for Roxie's case, which is therefore technically still open, both at the time that this document was created, as well as currently, in Mar. 2026.

* Judith Gail Williamson: SOLVED

Judith's remains were found in 1966. In 1977 a man named Joseph Otto Egenberger confessed to the murder, and was later convicted for it.

** Judith Gail Lattaker: SUSPECTED 
The primary suspect in her death is fugitive Taylor Morris Teaford.

*** Barbara Ann Thomas: IDENTIFIED & SOLVED
In 1980 a man was arrested — and ultimately convicted — for the then-unidentified victim's murder, and gave investigators information which lead to her identification.

**** Betty Marie Cloer: SOLVED
Suspected serial killer Phillip Arthur Thompson was identified through DNA as Betty's murderer in 2002 and was later convicted for it.

***** Sandra June Peters: SUSPECTED
While the culprits were never brought to trial, it seems that it is generally known who killed Sandra. She was going to testify against ex-boyfriend, who was involved in drugs & crime; sources make it seem like he was the one to kill Sandra.

****** Maureen Patricia Field: SOLVED
In 1980 serial killer Philip Joseph Hughes Jr was arrested and convicted of Maureen's murder.

******* Leslie Marie Perlov: SOLVED
In 2018 Leslie's murderer was identified through DNA as John Getreu, who was convicted of the crime in 2023.

******** Linda Anne O'Keefe: SOLVED
In 2019 Linda's murderer was identified through DNA as James Alan Neal.

********* Janet Ann Taylor: SOLVED
In 2019 Janet's murderer was identified through DNA as John Getreu, who was convicted of the crime in 2021.
