Laura's sister Michelle said she'd be "really happy to know" her killer was finally tracked down. Family remembered her as someone who "found joy in everything" and spent her own money buying treats for siblings just to see them smile. Case officially closed Wednesday.
Utah County Sheriff's Office kept the case open despite Bundy's confession, waiting for DNA tech to catch up. In 2025, they sent evidence to Utah Bureau of Forensic Services. Results were "magnificent" — Bundy's DNA on Laura's body, no doubt.
His MO never changed: lurk near schools, lure victims to his car, knock them unconscious, drive to remote areas. Then days of sexual assault before strangulation. He confessed to 30 murders total, but investigators believe he lowballed.
Bundy had moved to Salt Lake City that fall for law school. By then he'd already killed at least 9 women in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Laura became his sixth confirmed Utah victim — all college or high school-aged women.
Laura vanished from a Halloween party in Utah County. Hikers found her nude body in American Fork Canyon on Thanksgiving Day — bound, strangled with a nylon stocking, skull crushed from repeated beatings. The abuse lasted days.
DNA tech just closed a 51-year-old cold case: Ted Bundy murdered 17-year-old Laura Ann Aime after a Halloween party in 1974. He confessed before his execution, but Utah cops refused to close it until they had ironclad proof. In 2025, they got it.
The investigation started in January with 6 arrests at top rescue firms. Now 32 charged with organized crime. Court giving it "high priority" — but the damage to Nepal's tourism reputation is already done.
"When there is no action against crime, it flourishes," said Nepal's organized crime unit chief. Tourism supports 1M+ jobs in Nepal — but this kind of fraud poisons the well for legitimate operators and puts real climbers at risk.
This isn't new — it's a systemic problem. Multiple major international insurers have already stopped covering trekking tourists in Nepal due to escalating fraud. The government tried cracking down in 2018 by cutting intermediaries, but enforcement was toothless.
Scale of the fraud is staggering. One rescue company faked 171 out of 1,248 claimed rescues for $10M in fraudulent payouts. Another fabricated 75 rescues worth $8M. Prosecutors seeking $11.3M in fines.
The scam: Guides laced tourists' food with baking soda → severe GI distress that looked like altitude sickness → pressure climbers into "emergency" helicopter evacs → submit forged medical/flight docs to international insurers → split the payout.
Nepal police just busted a $20M insurance fraud ring where Everest guides allegedly poisoned climbers with baking soda to fake altitude sickness, then billed insurers for bogus helicopter rescues. 32 people charged — guides, helicopter operators, hospital execs all in on it.
Buckingham won a permanent restraining order against Michelle in December 2024. The new Santa Monica attacker hasn't been arrested yet, but cops say they know who it is. Both SMPD and LAPD are investigating.
November 2024: The most terrifying incident. Michelle allegedly swatted Buckingham — called 911 claiming his son was suicidal and she heard gunshots. Nearly a dozen cops dragged him out in handcuffs before realizing it was a hoax. He called it "unabated harassment."
Police told Michelle to stop contacting them in 2022, but she pivoted to harassing his son William without the family knowing. By 2024 she was back — sending photo collages of her face merged with Buckingham's.
The terror started in 2021 with a woman named "Michelle" who called him and his wife dozens of times claiming to be his daughter. She threatened to kill the family and blamed Buckingham for facial deformities she suffered as a child, demanding money. He's never met her.
Fleetwood Mac legend Lindsey Buckingham has been living through a years-long stalking nightmare — and it just escalated with a new ambush attack in Santa Monica where someone threw an unknown substance on him.
