Serial killer Ted Bundy confessed to Hawkins' abduction and murder shortly before his 1989 execution. Bundy claimed that partial skeletal remains belonging to Hawkins were recovered from one of his many crime scenes on September 6. According to Bundy, the sections of Hawkins' body he had not buried were recovered at Issaquah alongside the bodies of two other victims he had murdered on July 14.[1]
Bundy's statement regarding the identity of the partial skeletal remains being those of Georgann Hawkins has never been confirmed. Although Hawkins is presumed dead, she is still officialy listed as a missing person and no public records indicate that she has been declared legally dead in absentia.[2]
Background
Georgann[3] Hawkins was born on August 20, 1955 in Tacoma, Washington[4], to Warren B. Hawkins and his wife, Edith "Edie" Hawkins. The youngest of two daughters born to an upper-middle class Episcopalian family, Hawkins was raised in Sumner, Washington alongside her older sister, Patti.[5] As a child, she was reported to be a spirited, vivacious, and outgoing individual. Her "wiggle worm" personality and talkative nature was well-documented in report cards that her parents received from her grade-school teachers. Adored by her peers, Hawkins' mother dubbed her "the Pied Piper". Her mother later recalled of her daughter, "she had quite a following but she was not the kind of person who stuck to one group or clique. She had friends among everybody, older than her and younger than her. She was a very self-confident little girl ... she wasn't vain, she wasn't arrogant and she wasn't snooty. That's why kids liked her."[6]
At some point in her childhood, Hawkins had a brief bout with Osgood-Schlatter disease which left a few small bumps just below her knees. Despite this, she was a star athlete and swam competitively throughout grade school and won numerous AAU swimming medals. She later transitioned to cheerleading as a teenager, and was a member of the Lakes High cheerleading squad for four consecutive years. In addition to being a star athlete, Hawkins was an honors student and maintained a straight A record throughout her school years. She was a graduate of Lakes High School in Lakewood, Washington class of 1973.[7]
In 1972-73, during her senior year, she was named a princess to the royal court of the annual Washington Daffodil Festival. As a Daffodil Princess, Hawkins traveled around the state of Washington with the other court princesses, regularly being featured in newspapers, attending concerts, meeting children, riding in parades, and signing autographs at charity events. A highlight for Hawkins was in the spring of 1973 where she made a speech addressing lawmakers at the Washington state Legislature.
Hawkins' elder sister, Patti, attended Central Washington University in Ellensburg, 120.6 miles away from their hometown of Tacoma. When Georgann announced her intentions to enroll at college, her mother did not want her to move as far afield as her elder sister had. At her mother's request, Georgann enrolled at the University of Washington in Seattle, which was only 30 miles from her hometown. Hawkins' parents paid for her tuition, books, room and board; she worked all summer to pay for other expenditures, and occasionally returned to her family home at weekends. Georgann last saw her parents on the Mother's Day weekend of 1974.
During her freshman year, Hawkins joined the on campus sorority Kappa Alpha Theta. After her experiences as a Daffodil Princess and having observing the ongoing news media coverage of the hearings relating to the Watergate scandal, she formed aspirations of becoming either a broadcast journalist or possibly a television news anchor. She was looking into majoring in Broadcast Journalism.
While attending college, Hawkins maintained a straight A record. She also enjoyed attending campus parties, dance formals, and Kappa Alpha Theta events. She had also found a steady boyfriend, Marvin Gellatly, who was a member of the Beta Theta Pi sorority.[8]
By the spring of 1974, Georgann had found a summer job in her hometown of Tacoma, which was set to commence on Monday June 17. The money Georgann was to earn from this employment was intended to pay towards her second year of studies at the University of Washington.
Events prior to murder
Beginning in 1974, the state of Washington experienced a string of mysterious disappearances of young college aged women.
- February 1: Lynda Ann Healy (21), disappeared from her basement room in Seattle, WA.
- March 12: Donna Gail Manson (19), vanished off The Evergreen State College campus in Olympia, WA, while going to attend a jazz concert.
- April 17: Susan Elaine Rancourt (18), disappeared off Central Washington State College campus in Ellensburg, WA, after leaving a dorm advisors meeting.
- May 6: Roberta Kathleen Parks (20), went missing from Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR, after leaving her dormitory to go meet friends at a coffee shop.
- May 31: Brenda Carol Ball (22), went missing after leaving the Flame Tavern in Burien, WA.
The disappearances baffled law enforcement officials, and many questions began to arose concerning the connections between the cases. There were many similarities to the cases of missing women that the detectives noticed. The girls all shared the same basic physical characteristics of being young, attractive, slender, of Caucasian decent, with long hair that was parted in the middle. They were all also considered to be of more than average intelligence with some sort of gifted talent and came from stable backgrounds. During the times of their disappearances, they were all reported to have been wearing slacks and vanished in the hours of darkness within a week of a midterm or final at a local college or university. Strangely enough, there was also construction work being done on each campus where the girls went missing from.
Lynda Ann Healy's case was the only one with physical evidence in the form of a blood stained mattress and night gown.
The timeline of Donna Gail Manson's last whereabouts were difficult to construct due to the fact that she was not reported as missing for six days. This was because Manson often hitchhiked to nearby locales and could disappear for several days at a time without notice, and her peers initially believed that she decided to travel without sharing her plans beforehand. Manson was also depressed at the time of her disappearance, and law enforcement could not rule out the slim possibility that she may have left of her own account to commit suicide.
Susan Rancourt was also physically different from Lynda Ann Healy and Donna Manson, in that she had blonde hair that was just past her shoulders. In contrast to Healy who had waist length chestnut colored hair, and Manson who had long dark brown hair.
Captain Herb Swindler was convinced that Roberta Parks disappearance was linked to the others, but all other law enforcement officials doubted his claims feeling that Corvallis was too distant for a victim of the perpetrator who prowled the campuses of Washington colleges. Parks also had ash blonde hair, while all the other girls (except for Susan Rancourt) were brunette or dark haired. Police also could not rule out the possibility that, like Donna Manson, Parks may have disappeared on her own account to commit suicide. It was a plausible theory as she had a history of mood swings, recently broke up with her boyfriend, was feeling homesick for her hometown in Lafayette, CA, and two days before she went missing got into a verbal altercation with her father who then had a near fatal heart attack that same day. The Willamette River, which was near the city of Corvallis, was briefly seen as a place of interest where Parks’s body might have been found, in the event that she had chosen to end her life by throwing herself off the river bridge. But after the being dragged, Willamette was ruled out.
Brenda Ball was also not reported missing until after Hawkins' disappearance. Like Donna Manson, Ball was somewhat of an adventurous spirit and may have taken off on a whim.[9] With no bodies found, very few clues to go on, and the limits of forensic technology of the time, the disappearances became more complex to piece together.
Events of June 10–11, 1974
On June 10, 1974, Hawkins went with a sorority sister to a party on campus. She did not stay at the event for too long as she had to study for her upcoming Spanish finals, for which she had earlier expressed worry to her mother. Before leaving the party, she told her sorority sister that she was going to the Beta Theta Pi House to say good night to her boyfriend and to pick up some study notes from him.
Hawkins was a very cautious person. The area along the sorority houses had become so familiar to her, the streets were always so well lighted, and there were generally people around that she knew. The alley behind the houses was brightly light by street lights approximately every ten feet. On the warm night of June 10, most students were still awake cramming for their finals well past midnight. Hawkins' boyfriend's sorority house was six houses down from her sorority house, approximately ninety feet.[10]
Hawkins arrived at Beta Theta Pi House at approximately 12:30 a.m. on June 11th, and stayed for a little more than half an hour. After retrieving the Spanish notes and saying good night to her boyfriend, Hawkins exited the sorority house for the short walk to her sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. One of the Betas, Duane Covey, heard the back door slam shut and stuck his head out the window, recognizing Hawkins, calling out "Hey George! What's happening?" The two talked for a minute or two, Hawkins mentioning her upcoming Spanish exam, then continuing to walk towards her residence, jokingly shouting, "Adios!"[11]
She was last seen wearing navy blue cotton bell-bottom pants (which had one button and were missing three), a white backless T-shirt, a sheer red, white, and blue top, and white open-toed wedge sandals. Hawkins also had two rings: one was a rectangular black onyx ring on her left middle finger (with a small diamond in the center set in yellow gold), and the other was a cultured pearl ring in a Tiffany setting on her right ring finger (with a slender gold band). She was carrying a tan leather satchel-type purse with reddish stains. The contents of Hawkins purse included her large royal purple wallet, her school identification card, her checkbook from Sea 1st Bank Lakewood Branch, a small quantity of cash, a mini hairbrush with black bristles, a bottle of Heaven Sent perfume, a small jar of Vaseline, and the Spanish notes she borrowed.[5][12][13]
Investigation
Since Hawkins had previously lost her key to the house, Dee Nicholas, Hawkins roommate, had been waiting for the familiar rattling sound of small stones hitting the window, signaling her to run downstairs to let Hawkins into the house. When Hawkins failed to return by 3 a.m., Nicholas became concerned, and informed the housemother.[5]
By dawn police were on the campus to investigate. Standard law enforcement practices typically requires a 24-hour waiting period before launching a search for a missing adult. However, in view of the string of young girls who had disappeared that year in Washington, the disappearance of Hawkins was treated very differently. Hawkins case was also focused with intensity because she fit the physical profile of the previous girls who had mysteriously disappeared. Like the other girls, Hawkins was a young Caucasian female who was beautiful, intelligent, and had long brown hair that was parted in the middle. An extensive search on hands and knees of the ninety foot trail that Hawkins had to take recovered no traces of any evidence.
The father of one of Hawkins' sorority sisters was a newsman. This pushed the story of her disappearance onto the front pages of newspapers and the top of TV broadcasts more quickly and frequently in contrast to the previous missing girl cases.
Hawkins lived in room Number 8 of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house. A search of her room showed that all of her possessions, but the clothes on her back and the few items she was carrying in her purse, were still there. When law enforcement interviewed Hawkins roommate she said to them: "Georgeann never went anyplace without leaving me the phone number where she'd be. I know she intended to come back here last night. She had one more exam and then she was going home for the summer on the thirteenth."[5] Police did not believe that Hawkins would have left on her own account with an upcoming exam and taking only a meager amount of supplies, and no change of clothes.
Hawkins was nearsighted, and wore eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct her vision, but she had neither in her possession at the time of her disappearance.[12] Her roommate told police that the reason why Hawkins did not have her eyeglasses or contact lenses with her that evening was because "she'd worn her contacts all day to study, and after you’ve worn contact lenses for a long time, things look blurry when you put glasses on, so she wasn't wearing them either."[5]
Despite her visual impairment, she still had a relatively fair view of the familiar brightly lit alley. Police suspected that if the perpetrator had been surreptitiously lurking in the shadows of the alley and learned Hawkins' name after overhearing her friend call her the nickname "George", that he could have easily called to Hawkins in the same fashion as means to ensnare her in his direction. This would have given the abductor the chance to seize, gag, and carry her off. But there were no witnesses who reported seeing or hearing any hints of struggle.
Police then theorized that Hawkins may have been hit over the head with a blunt object, rendered unconscious with chloroform, or possibly captured with such brute force that she could not scream out for help. Since she stood just over five feet tall, was visually impaired in the darkness of the night, and without the aid of her contacts or glasses, it would not have been that difficult for someone to overpower her in her vulnerable state.
Despite an early response, intense publicity, and an extensive search, the case quickly went cold with no leads. It was considered likely that Hawkins had met the same fate as the other five girls who were suspected of being abducted and killed by the same person, or at least the same group of people.
Aftermath
Lake Sammamish abductions
On July 14th, 1974, two young women disappeared approximately four hours apart from each other in broad daylight from Lake Sammamish State Park. The first was Janice Ann Ott, a married 23 year-old probation case worker at the King County Youth Service Center in Seattle. While Ott was laying on the beach, she was approached by a handsome man wearing a white shirt, tennis shorts, and tennis shoes. The man had his arm in a sling, and picnickers near by overhead bits of their exchanges. The man asked Ott for her assistance with putting his sailboat, that was located at his parents house in Issaquah, on his car. Janice had explained that she had her bike with her, and she did not want to leave it on the beach for fear it might get lost or stolen. The man assured her that there was room for it in the trunk of his car. Ott then said to the man "O.K., I'll help you." Ott was last seen walking away with the man wearing cutoff jeans, a white shirt tied in front, and a black bikini underneath. As they walked away, one witness overheard Ott say to the man, "Hi, I'm Jan", to which he responded, "I'm Ted".[14]
Four hours later, Denise Naslund, a 19 year-old computer programming student and office assistant, disappeared from the park. She was on the beach having a picnic, and was accompanied by her boyfriend, her dog, and another couple. Around 4:30 PM, she left the group with her dog to use the restroom and was last seen wearing cutoff shorts and a blue halter top; her sandals she left behind. Her dog later found its way back to Naslund’s friends while they were searching for her. No witnesses were reported to have seen Naslund with the mysterious man with his arm in a sling, but she was known by people to be the kind of person to generously help a person in need (especially if they were handicapped).
After the disappearances of Ott and Naslund, several young women, between the ages of 15-26, came forward reporting to have been approached by the man named Ted with his arm in a sling. One of the witnesses stated that she went as far as going with him to his car, reporting it to be a "metallic brown" Volkswagen Bug. She said that she ended up not going with him because there was no sailboat on his car, to which he said to her: "Oh, I forgot to tell you. It's up at my folks' house—just a jump up the hill." She told Ted that she could not go because she was waiting for her husband to arrive at park.
Discovery of remains
On September 6, 1974, two hunters stumbled across skeletal human remains near a service road in Issaquah, about seventeen miles east of Seattle and two miles from Lake Sammamish. King County police sealed off the area. After a three day search, a set of two skulls were found along with various other bones and tuffs of reddish blonde and dark brown hair. The remains had decomposed and disturbed by scavenging animals. The absence of clothing and jewelry at the scene led investors to believe that the bodies were left and discarded at the scene naked.
The skulls were later identified to be those of Janice Ott and Denise Naslund, through dental charts and samples of their hair taken from hair brushes. There was also a third set of remains discovered in the form of a femur and several vertebrae. These are believed to be the remains of Hawkins, but were impossible to identify.
Six months later on March 1, 1975, forestry students from Green River Community College discovered the skull of Brenda Ball on Taylor Mountain, approximately thirty miles from the Flame Tavern where she disappeared. Two days later on March 3, Bob Keppel stumbled upon the skull of Susan Rancourt, who had vanished from Central Washington State University in Ellensburg, eighty-seven miles away. Like Ball, Rancourt’s skull had been fractured from a blunt object. Roberta Park’s skull was the next to be found, 262 miles away from the campus of Oregon State University. Like the others, her skull too had signs of fractures from a blunt object. The last remains to be found on Taylor Mountain were those of Lynda Ann Healy. Unlike the other discoveries, only her jawbone was discovered and later identified through dental records. The remains of Donna Manson and Hawkins were never found.
After the discovery of the remains, law enforcement found more common denominators in the murders and disappearances. Each of the women had been dealing with a turbulence of some sort on the day they had disappeared.
- Lynda Ann Healy had felt ill with some stomach aches.
- Donna Manson was reported to be weighed down with depression and had fallen behind on her academic work due to late night partying.
- Susan Rancourt, who was a nyctophobic, was walking on campus alone at night.
- Roberta Parks was depressed due to breaking up with her boyfriend and homesickness. She was also believed to be ridden with guilt over her father having a heart attack after they had gotten into a verbal altercation.
- Brenda Ball was stranded and struggled to find a way of getting back to her residence.
- Georgann Hawkins was stressed out over struggling in Spanish class and was anxious for the upcoming final.
- Janice Ott was missing her husband who had been away for several months in California on business matters.
- Denise Naslund had an argument with her boyfriend minutes before her disappearance.
Ted Bundy
Bundy’s 1989 Confession
In an effort to avoid the electric chair, Ted Bundy confessed the details of Hawkins abduction and murder to detective Robert Keppel. Bundy stated that he approached Hawkins in the alley limping along on crutches and dropping his briefcase as a ruse. He asked Hawkins for assistance with carrying his briefcase to his car, which was located in a parking lot just off the side of the alley. Thinking that the strange man was really injured, Hawkins agreed to help him. As she bent over to put Bundy’s briefcase in his car, he grabbed a crowbar that he had hidden before hand, knocked Hawkins out with a single blow to the head, pushed her into his car, and sped off. Bundy claimed that while driving, Hawkins regained consciousness and started to incoherently talk about her Spanish test, believing he had taken her to tutor her for her exam. In response, Bundy simply proceeded to knock Hawkins unconscious with his crowbar.[15]
Once at the secluded location, allegedly located near Lake Sammamish, Bundy took an unconscious Hawkins out of his car and killed her by strangulation with an old piece of rope. He then claims to have severed her head and buried it in the woods on a rocky hillside. It’s also been alleged that Bundy said that one of her femur bones had been discovered but unidentified, one mile east of an old railroad trestle just outside of Issaquah around the same time that the remains of Janice Ott and Denise Naslund had been found. Though this statement has never been confirmed.
In his confession, Bundy also claimed that he ventured back to the parking lot on his bike that same morning, as the area was being secured off by law enforcement, to retrieve evidence. Bundy recovered the hooped earrings that were knocked off Hawkins ears after he had struck her with the crowbar,[16] as well as one of her shoes that had fallen from her foot during her abduction. Peddling through the area, Bundy surreptitiously observed law enforcement officials a block away, and noticed that they had not yet examined the parking lot where he abducted Hawkins from.[13]
After Bundy’s confession, Keppel and a team of Washington law enforcement went to the alleged area of the crime scene 14 years later in 1989. Despite the intensive search efforts that lasted several days, no remains of Hawkins were found and she is still listed as a missing person.
Hawkins Family
The Hawkins family deliberately stayed out of the limelight. Although they refused most interview requests, Hawkins mother consented to grant an exclusive interview with Green Valley News in 2014: "I was very, very angry and very bitter, and that was one of the reasons I didn't want to talk. Not only that, but angry, bitter and guilty. You think, what did I do that this [deserved to happen]... you know?"[6]
Edie also recalled that in order to cope with Georgann's untimely death, she and her husband rarely spoke about their younger daughter over the years, stating their belief "it was easier to think of other things."[6] They discarded most of the sympathy cards they received, and kept no shrine of their daughter. Of the notes they did find comfort in and ultimately kept, were the ones that mentioned specifically about how Hawkins had touched their lives. Her parents' one form of memorialization for their daughter was a thick scrapbook filled with pictures, school awards, and the few sympathy cards they kept.
Hawkins father, Warren B. Hawkins, died in 2003.[17] Her sister, Patti Hawkins, later got married and had children.[17] As of 2014, her mother, Edie Hawkins, is reported to reside in Green Valley, AZ.
In the media
The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule
Ann Rule referenced Hawkins and her disappearance in her 1980 best selling book, The Stranger Beside Me:
"Georgann Hawkins, at eighteen, was one of those golden girls for whom luck or fate had dealt a perfect hand until that inexplicable night of June 10. Raised in the Tacoma suburb of Sumner, Washington, she’d been a Daffodil Princess and a cheerleader... Vivacious and glowing with good health, Georgann had a pixie-like quality to her loveliness. Her long brown hair was glossy and her brown eyes lively. Petite at five feet two inches tall and 115 pounds, she was the youngest of the two daughters of the Warren B. Hawkins family."
The Deliberate Stranger (1986 TV film)
In 1986, the best-selling book by Richard W. Larsen was adapted into a two part television film with Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy. In the film, Hawkins' name was changed to Anne Pitney and she was portrayed by an uncredited actress. The films opening sequence consists of a re-enactment of Hawkins abduction in a dark alley. The film presents many historical inaccuracies with Hawkins in particular.
In the film, she is seen wearing a hot pink navel baring top, with a white mini skirt, and stiletto platform shoes carrying a fancy designer handbag. In reality Hawkins was actually wearing long blue slacks, a sheer floral print long-sleeved shirt over a white backless shirt, with open-toed wedge sandals. While Hawkins was carrying a handbag, it was either a tan leather sack or satchel type of purse.
Another historical inaccuracy is shown with Bundy sneaking up behind her (while she was walking down a dark alley) and snatching her. In reality, Bundy first approached Hawkins while he was on crutches and carrying a briefcase (he often feigned injuries to ensnare his victims), and asked Hawkins to help him carry it to his car, which he informed her was parked nearby.[18] He lured her into a secluded parking lot near the alley. Bundy then unlocked his car and opened the door, and as Hawkins bent over to put his books into the car he grabbed a crowbar he had hidden under the wheel of his car and knocked Hawkins out cold. However, at the time the film was made, Bundy had not confessed or given the details to Hawkins murder, so the exact details of her death were not known at this time. It was not until three years after production, days before his execution, that Bundy confessed to Hawkins murder.
Throughout the rest of the film, Hawkins is occasionally referenced with a picture of the actress portraying her as her missing persons photo.
Murder Made Me Famous (TV Series 2015– )
In the first season of the TV series Murder Made Me Famous, episode five focused on Ted Bundy’s crimes. The show features a re-enactment of Bundy abducting Hawkins, with George Quartz as Bundy and Alisha Revel as Hawkins. The depiction is based on Ted Bundy’s 1989 confession and retains a faithful adaptation to his words. The clothes that Revel wears as Hawkins, are much more consistent with what Hawkins was last reported to be wearing. Although there is no re-enactment of the murder itself, there is a close up shot of a dead persons bare foot laying on the grounds of a dark woods, with a narrative stating that Hawkins' body has never been found.
Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer (TV Mini series 2020)
Hawkins is mentioned in great detail of this series. It also features previously unseen color photos of Hawkins in her lifetime. Phyllis Armstrong, a friend to Hawkins, was interviewed for this series and she shares her story of meeting Hawkins when they were Daffodil Princesses at the Washington Daffodil Festival in 1973, and their experiences together as peers at the University of Washington. Furthermore, Armstrong also revealed that Bundy had approached on crutches her asking for help with his books a few days before Hawkins went missing.
