This is some information related to the Bundy case from Garfield County in Colorado from 1976.
A .PDF document of reports related to the extensive searches made in the Issaquah and Taylor Mountain areas in relation to Ted Bundy.
According to the Issaquah Dump Site report, the skeletons were badly scattered by animals and no evidence of trauma, dismemberment or assault could be detected, and no clothing, jewelry, or other personal effects were near the scene. The report concluded that the victims were probably killed elsewhere and dumped at the dump sites shortly after they disappeared. After the search made in the area, three sets of bones were found, and two of them were determined to have belonged to Janice Ott and Denise Naslund. The skull of Janice Ott was still missing as were the skull and mandible of the third person, and for the third set of bones the two possible victims were thought to have been Georgann Hawkins and Donna Manson. A large quantity of immature elk bones were found 1/4 mile east of the scene on ‘Sunset Highway.’
According to the Taylor Mountain DS report, the skulls and/or mandibles of Lynda Healy, Susan Rancourt, Kathy Parks, and Brenda Ball were found at this location; several other bones were also found at this location, but were eventually determined to be non-human. The report specifies that this gave rise to the theory that the girls had been decapitated, but no cervical vertebrae were found in the search. The report further specifies that animals in the area included coyotes, bears and rodents, adding that the possibility of their consuming all bones of the body was slim.
The Taylor Mountain Dump Site report also states that the area at all times of the year was very brushy and would have been extremely dense during June when Brenda Ball disappeared, positing that the killer could have dumped the bodies in an area of evergreens nearby where there was less underbrush but no grease spots were found in that area either.

Here are some documents from the ‘vault.fbi.gov’ website related to serial killer, Israel Keyes (who apparently had no middle name). Recently, a large number of formerly sealed records were made available and were added to the public electronic library (thanks to the FOIA).
These are the documents that were released by the FBI related to the Jeffrey Dahmer murders.
Here is the .PDF file I found from the fbi.vault.gov website. You can find them in there, but I wanted to include them here as well in a continued effort to be a one shop stop.
The following is an article about Cheri Jo Bates from the magazine ‘Inside Detective,’ published in January 1969 titled, ‘Your Daughter May be Next.’
ZodiacRevisited.com contributor ‘Morf13’ has provided the following documents related to the murder of Cheri Jo Bates. This information is related to mitochondrial DNA and hair analysis done in 1999/2000 on evidence from the case that was done at the request of the Riverside PD in hopes of incriminating their main suspect (it ended up clearing him). I am currently writing about Bates, and I almost right away don’t think Bundy was a good suspect.
