Before his execution in 1989, convicted serial killer Ted Bundy admitted to killing Debra. Apparently when police searched the location in Fairview Canyon, they found a human knee cap among hundreds of animal bones. That patella eventually was given to her family.
Then in 2015, human remains were found in Fruit Heights, this lead investigators to review missing persons files. Two of the cold cases for the city were women who'd gone missing,one of them was Debra. They came across news reports of Debra's mother, Belva Kent, pulling out a box with a human patella bone, or kneecap, that had been found where Bundy said he left her remains. Investigators retrieved the knee cap from the family to use for DNA testing. It matched the family's DNA. The authorities gave the bone back to the family along with Debra's death certificate.
Now with the Netflix film about Ted Bundy gaining so much popularity, police decided to release their revelation of this evidence to the public.

R.I.P Debra
She was so radiant. It's a terrible shame what happened to her. I'm just glad that her family got a little closure Anonymous.
