A Oxygen network documentary may have chilling implications regarding Lafayette Hill and a 54-year-old double-murder cold case. A Post X News story reported the filmmakers’ theorized violent perpetrator: Ted Bundy.

The victims were Susan Davis and Elizabeth Perry, both 19, who spent Memorial Day 1969 in Ocean City, New Jersey.

The Shore trip was part of a multi-state getaway.

On their way out of town early on May 30, they stopped at the Somers Point Diner, then reentered their car to head to North Carolina.

It was the last time they were seen alive.

Hours later, their abandoned Chevy convertible was found on the shoulder of the Garden State Parkway.

Three days after that, the bodies of Davis and Perry were found in the woods nearby.

The connection to Bundy stems from evidence that he was living that summer with an aunt in Lafayette Hill. And that he frequently visited the 26th Street Ocean City home of his maternal grandmother.

He even admitted in a taped interview that he was at the Shore in “early summer” 1969 and had “picked up” a pair of girls.

Although evidence pointed to other suspects, no solid proof of Bundy’s innocence ever emerged, either. And the case remains open.

More on this chilling Ted Bundy connection to Montgomery County is at Post X News.
