Washington state was under high alert in 1974 - unbeknownst at the time, the many women who had gone missing in the Seattle area were early victims of Ted Bundy. It was in this uneasy time that Renae Wicklund was attacked by Charles Campbell. Renae's sharp recall and excellent witness testimony landed Charles in jail serving a 30 year sentence. Unfortunately a parole board found Campbell suitable for early release, and failed to notify the local police as well as Renae as no laws requiring notification existed at the time. The consequences of this failure resulted in new laws being passed, and tragic loss of life.
