creditFormer model Tina Teets came forward today to talk about appearing on the Sheriff's roster of 54 missing women — and her run-in with photographer-murderer William Bradford in 1984. At the time she lived on the Westside and modeled swimsuits at car shows and for photographers. She tells Richard Winton of the Times that she had forgotten about posing for Bradford until the photos were circulated this week. In addition to Teets, some 24 women in the pictures are thought to be alive and well.

I realized how lucky I was. I fit his demographic perfect...He was kind of weird, he was kind of dark. He stood out among the photographers. Unlike the other people, he didn't have good communication skills.

Of the 28 women who have been identified, one is a known homicide victim and another is a 15-year-old girl who has been missing for years.
