But that's not what the planning commission did. The denied an exemption for the spire, perhaps in response to concerns raised by several people who live near the site.

For the Burrs and some investigators, the leading suspect is the late serial killer Ted Bundy, who grew up in Tacoma and at one time lived in the same part of town as the family. He was 14 at the time. Bundy, who confessed to at least 35 other killings and is widely believed to have committed many more, repeatedly denied any involvement in the Burr case before he was executed in Florida on Jan. 24, 1989. For example, oh June 8, 1986, he wrote the Burrs, "I do not know what happened to your daughter Ann Marie.

I had nothing to do with her disappearance. "You said she disappeared Aug. 31, 1961. At the time I was a normal 14-year-old boy. I did not wan-" der the streets late at night.

I did not steal cars. I had absolutely no desire to harm anyone. I was just an average kid. For your sake, you really must understand this." The connection was first drawn by Rule, who worked with Bundy as a volunteer in a Seattle crisis clinic and later wrote a book about him, The Stranger Beside Me."

Tracy Ward, who lives near where Gospodor wants to build his spire, said he doesn't object to the idea of the memorial, or sign, or whatever anyone wants to call it.

Returning the younger girl to her own bedroom, the mother noticed Ann Burr was gone. Then she found the front door, which had been locked, was standing open. A window also was open.

Outside, under the window, was a wicker bench that had been brought from the back yard. More than 800 National Guard and Army troops and police officers combed the city after the cheerful towhead disappeared from the family's north end home. Helicopters were deployed and divers checked sewer lines and outlets into Commencement Bay. Later the Burrs endured fake ransom demands, unconfirmed sightings, even an impostor claiming" to be their daughter, grown up and living in Puyallup. No trace of the girl ever was found.

The police case, open but inactive, is assigned to missing persons detective L. Lindberg. Many still remember the disappearance, reported in newspapers around the country. "Every single time I give a talk in the Northwest, someone asks ON THE RECORD accident; ho transport. 2:16 p.m.

"I had a feeling right then that I'd never see her again," said Beverly Burr, the girl's mother. Now, more than 38 years later, she and Donald Burr have scheduled a memorial Mass for their firstborn child next Saturday at St.

Patrick's Catholic Church. Why did they wait? "Each and every year," said Donald Burr, 71, "something came up to make you look into the possibility (of finding Ann)." The nightmare began after the Burrs put their four children to bed Aug. 30, 1961. In the middle of the night, Ann Marie Burr brought a sister, Mary, 3, downstairs to their parents' room because the younger girl complained of itching from a cast in which her broken arm had been placed after a playground accident. "I told Ann that Mary would be all right," Beverly Burr recalled.

Designer Dominic Gospodor calls it a memorial, but the city terms it a sign. The distinction could limit just how high the structure can reach. Gospodor's plans call for an 82-foot-tall pillar topped with two huge, softly glowing copper spheres plus statue.

Not only does building such a structure require city permission, city zoning rules set a ceiling of 35 feet for such monuments. Now the city council is set-to decide Monday whether to ellow the 77-year-old retired businessman from Seattle to construct the monolith on a piece of industrial land he owns along Interstate 5. Ordinarily, someone putting up a spire or belfry or cupola on heavy-industrial land in Sutherlin wouldn't need the city's permission, notwithstanding a 35-foot maximum height for most structures in the zone, city planner Richard Schwartz said.
