So, the bone was never lost, it was given to her mother. Wow! That surprised me!!

The patella had apparently sat inside the home of Kent’s parents until Det. Sgt. Shane Alexander, during a review of the department’s missing persons cases, noted a media report in which Kent’s mother, Belva, was interviewed.

“In the process of her interview, she pulled out a box that inside of it had a human patella,” Alexander said. “(She) said those were the remains of her daughter that she’s had.”

That was news to present day police, who now had the capability to seek DNA evidence from the remains.

I’m glad Debra has been formally identified. It’s sad that she had to have her life cut short. This break gives me hope that Bundys other victims can be found and identified
