Dennis and Jan

Among the many strange coincidences in the Bundy case is this one: victim Susan Rancourt's older brother Dennis attended the same high school as victim Janice Ott, and even took her to prom.

Yes, but the Rancourts didn’t move to Anchorage until after Danny and Jan had graduated high school.

Actually, Alaska and Seattle a distance from each other...4/5 hour flight. That darn country of Canada blocks the way!

Janice was so very beautiful!

I recall that there are studies in sociology/criminology that look at the social networks of offenders and their victims. Your findings deserve more exploration!

Creepy connections.

One more I just thought of: Janice Graham, the intended first victim at Lake Sammamish, was also close friends with Lynda Healy.

Tiffany J.

Fascinating! I guess I hadn't realized that life in the PNW and elsewhere represented "such a small world."

Other strange coincidences: Ted's cousin Edna was once roommates with Karen Covach, who was also once roommates with Lynda Healy Susan Curtis attended the Viewmont High School play on the night Debra Kent was abducted Debra Kent's father owned the gas station Nancy Baird was working when she disappeared (though she is probably not a Bundy victim)

Tiffany J.

Interesting. I speculate that both Ted and his wife, Carole, clung to such coincidences in the hopes those would raise the "reasonable doubt" that Ted could not have committed those crimes by insinuating that someone(s) else had connections to his victims.

That is a strange coincidence. I used to have a roommate whose last name is Gellatly. I wondered if he was related Georgeann's boyfriend -- it's not a common name here in the PNW to my knowledge -- but he didn't know much about his extended family.
