Jolly left her residence on Horton Road in West Linn, Oregon at 7:15 p.m. on June 29, 1973 to go for a walk. She never returned. She was last seen between 8:30 and 9:00 p.m. that day, possibly in the Robinwood area and/or on Sunset Avenue. Jolly has never been heard from again.

Jolly is believed to be a victim of the serial killer Theodore Robert "Ted" Bundy. A photograph of Bundy is posted below this case summary. He was executed in Florida in 1989. He is a suspect in scores of murders, mainly from the Pacific Northwest, though he was convicted only of killing three females in Florida. He confessed to many deaths prior to his execution. Bundy is believed to be responsible for the disappearances of Nancy Baird, Ann Marie Burr, Lynette Culver, Julie Cunningham, Georgeann Hawkins, Vicki Hollar, Debra Kent, Donna Manson, Denise Oliverson, and Nancy Wilcox and many other women. The women continue to be listed as missing persons. Their remains have never been recovered. It is worth noting that Bundy did not confess to Jolly's murder before his death, but he is considered a suspect in many deaths and disappearances he did not claim responsiblity for.

Jolly's disappearance remains unsolved, as her body was not found and Bundy was never charged or confessed to her murder. Foul play is suspected in her case.
