  Speaker 1: Florida State University, Tallahassee, January the 15th, 1978. Around 2.45 a.m.,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a serial killer on the run broke into the Chi
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Omega sorority house and attacked four women.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: There's rape.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: He beats people. He knocks people's teeth out. He bites
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: the buttock of one of the victims.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: The blistering attack on all four students lasted just 15 minutes.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: He could strike like a chameleon, bam, and take his prey.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: In just four years in the mid-1970s, a sadistic killer kidnapped, raped,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and murdered at least 30 young women. A few lived
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to tell of their terrible ordeal.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: He leaned in. I thought he was going to kiss me. Instead,
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: he said, do you know what? I'm going to kill you.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Initially convicted of only kidnap and assault, it is suspected
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: that Bundy may have raped and slaughtered up to 100
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: young women. Sentenced to death for his terrifying crimes, Ted
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Bundy is undoubtedly one of the world's most evil killers. Seattle, Washington.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Ted Bundy began his reign of terror in the Pacific
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Northwest and spread it across seven US states. He would
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: eventually confess to the kidnap, rape, and murder of 30
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: young women between 1974 and 1978. Two of his victims
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: were just 12 years old. This is a man who
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: killed in the most violent.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: The most terrifying way.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: He would, before death, he would break bones, he would
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: rip parts of the body off, he would keep parts
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: of the body mutilated after he did it. This is
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: a person who ravaged his victims intending to cause pain.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: He was a monster because he just enjoyed killing. One
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: of his interviews, the interviewer asked him point blank, he said, Ted,
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: why did you kill? And Ted kind of raised one
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: eyebrow and kind of smiled and says,' Cause I liked it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Rhonda Stapley was a college student in Salt Lake City, Utah,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in 1974. She says she survived a vicious attack by
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Bundy and was so traumatized she kept her ordeal secret
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: for more than 30 years.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Nobody went out at night. Nobody even walked to the
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: library alone. There was terror and fear among women everywhere.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Ted Bundy was one of the most evil people in
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: the world.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: When Bundy was finally caught in 1978, he was incarcerated
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: at the Leon County Jail in Florida. Sheriff Ken Katsaris,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: who oversaw all the county's prisons, was charged with keeping
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: him behind bars.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: He was evil, but you could not discern that, even
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: if you knew he was evil. He came across as brilliant, charismatic, smart,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: so You put together the evil with all of those
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: positive traits, and you have a very dangerous person.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: This killer story begins in 1946. Theodore Robert Bundy was
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: born on the 24th of November at the Elizabeth Lund
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Home for Unwed Mothers in Burlington, Vermont.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: This was the 1940s in America. The ideal nuclear family
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: was mom and dad who were married, that nice family
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: unit where everything is very neat and very defined.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And people who were outside of that ideal really were stigmatized.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: To avoid that judgment, Ted's 22-year-old mother, Eleanor, moved back
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to her parents' home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where her parents
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: bought up Ted as their own.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: The unusual part of his childhood is how he's raised.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: He's adopted by his grandparents. He's raised alongside a person
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: who he has told is his sister.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: But she wasn't. She was actually his mother.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: This arrangement went on for almost four years with Ted's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: grandparents as his main carers.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: His grandfather was quite a violent character. So that suggests
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to me that very early on in his life, He's
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: almost in a bit of a survival mode. I'm not
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: safe within this home.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Just before his fourth birthday, Eleanor moved to Tacoma, Washington. There,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: she met and married Johnny Bundy in 1951. They formally
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: adopted Ted when he was five years old. The couple
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: had four children together, but Ted reportedly didn't form a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: close bond with his new family and still believed his
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: mother was his sister.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Ted Bundy is somebody who has always been really conscious
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: of his social class. He came from quite humble beginnings,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: that the family were quite poor, and he was really
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: quite aware of that and really quite embarrassed and ashamed
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: by it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: An exceptionally bright student, Ted Bundy enrolled in the University
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of Washington in 1966 to study Chinese. There, age 20,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: he met and fell in love with a woman called Stephanie.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: This was his dream girl. This was the woman he
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: was going to marry. This is the woman to which
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: he was dedicated. It was romance in the realest sense
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: that you could imagine it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But she suddenly dumped him.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: One of the reasons that she cited was that he
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: wasn't ambitious enough. And I think this would have really
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: hit Ted Bundy quite hard because this feeds into his
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: anxieties around his social class and and those feelings of
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: unease and those feelings of not being good enough. So
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: what we've got happening here is this resentment brewing.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Bundy dropped out of university in 1968. The following year,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: he returned to the East Coast in what he later
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: described as a bid to understand his roots. Whilst there,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Bundy unearthed a family secret.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: He discovers his true identity. He discovers that the woman...
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: that he's considered to be his sister for his whole
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: life is actually his mother. And he discovers his birth certificate,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and the birth certificate says he's illegitimate.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: The two most.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: Important women to him, his mother and his mother's surrogate,
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: and the woman he wanted to marry, in essence, both
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: deny and abandon him. The significance to him of that
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: is that women simply cannot be trusted.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: In 1969, age 22, Bundy returned to the University of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Washington and this time enrolled as a psychology major. There,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: he met and started dating a single mother called Elizabeth.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Their turbulent relationship would last into the mid-1970s.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Women serve a function for him.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: They provide a roof over his head, meals on the table, sex,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: useful contacts with other people. So he has got quite
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: a parasitic lifestyle. He will hook on to particular people
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: and get from them what he wants, and then he
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: will just discard them and move on.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: In 1971, Bundy got a part-time job at Seattle's Suicide
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Hotline Crisis Center.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: What he's doing is he's performing the role of the
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: respectable middle-class young man. He wants to be seen to
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: be helping other people. He wants to be seen to
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: be doing socially worthy things. And this also feeds into
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the work that he becomes involved in in terms of
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: political campaigning.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: When Bundy graduated university, he joined the Republican governor's re-election campaign. Then,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in September of 1973, Bundy was accepted into law school
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, just 30
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: miles south of Seattle. Before beginning the law course, he
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: went on a trip to California. Whilst there, he rekindled
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: his relationship with his first love, Stephanie, despite still dating Elizabeth.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: All of a sudden, he's a different man. He's working
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: for the governor, he's talented, he's successful. He looks like
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: he's good enough.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: For her, finally.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Ted Bundy and Stephanie get engaged and they plan to
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: get married. And Stephanie's very excited about this. But Ted
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: very coldly just drops her.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: What this was all about.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: was how far this man would go for revenge, to
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: have the kind of narcissistic victory that it would not
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: be her that rejected him, and then rejected her summarily.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Having taken back control by ending the relationship with Stephanie,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: 27-year-old Ted Bundy returned to Washington and decided he needed
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to show womankind who was boss. Just after midnight on
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: January 4th, 1974, Bundy broke into the basement apartment of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: an 18-year-old dancer and university student.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: She was at home asleep in her house one night
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: when Ted Bundy broke in, and he beat her with
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: a metal pole, and he raped her, and she was
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: in a really terrible state. Many people think this is
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: something that just kind of came out of the blue,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: but I would say absolutely not, it didn't.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I think this was an attack that was built up to.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: We often find with offenders, there's some behavior before they
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: get to the point of raping and attacking people.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: And in Ted Bundy's case, this was voyeurism.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: So he had a history of peeping through women's windows
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: and watching them get undressed. And it's something that gradually builds,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: and it's not enough for him, and he ratchets it
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: up to the next level.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: The violent assault left the young woman unconscious for 10 days.
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: She sustained injuries from the blows to the head. That
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: will cause brain damage and brain swelling. And when he
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: sexually assaulted her with a metal bar, that caused damage
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: to her internal organs. And she was left permanently altered
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: by those injuries.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Seattle, Washington, February 1974. It was here that 27-year-old Ted
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Bundy attacked again and turned from rapist to killer.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: It's no coincidence that she's a university student, who he
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: sees as privileged, who he sees as undeserving, whereas he's
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: somebody who's really hard done by, and it is that
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: constant jealousy, that constant underlying feeling of shame that drives
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of his violence.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Bundy's chosen target was a 21-year-old University of Washington student
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: called Linda. He broke into her room.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: He very severely attacks her. He really does bash her
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: skull when he carries out the assault on her. She
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: doesn't survive the attack.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: That night, after he'd attacked and killed Linda, Bundy moved
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: her away from the campus. He dumped her body in
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the dense woods of Taylor Mountain Forest, a 30-minute drive
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: from the university.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: It's very important that he maintains control over the victims,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: even after he's killed them. So he doesn't just leave
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: them where they are. He wants to be able to
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: know where they are. He wants to have control over them.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: So he chooses a local beauty spot, Taylor Mountain. It's
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: a place that people generally go to enjoy. But for him,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: it really is a macabre dump site.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Linda's body was found a year later in 1975. Her
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: death marked the start of a furious spate of killings.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: At this time, Bundy quit law school in Tacoma after
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: just six months. He returned to Washington, not as a student,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: but as a predator.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: He would lure women over to his car, saying that
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: he needed their assistance with something, and he'd often be
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: wearing a sling to make it appear that he'd injured himself.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And he was good-looking, he was charming, he was respectable.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Bundy's trademark VW Beetle became his favourite method for abducting
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: women before taking them to a remote spot to attack them.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: When he hit, it was like a shark grabbing its prey.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: Bam!
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: He'd use a blunt object to bludgeon his victims and
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: then he'd strangle them.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: After eight aggravated murders of young women in the first
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: half of 1974, a rate of more than one a month,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: fear spread across the Pacific Northwest.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I think Ted Bundy enjoys the feelings of power. He
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: enjoys the feelings of control. So you start to see
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: the attacks get closer together because he's having to escalate
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: his offending to get that same feeling of power. We
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: know with psychopaths like Ted Bundy, They're prone to boredom,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: so they will start to mix it up a bit
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: and offend in different ways.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Then in the summer of that year, Bundy changed his M.O.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: He now decided to attack in broad daylight. On July
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the 14th at Lake Sammamish State Park, just over 15
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: miles southeast of the University of Washington, Bundy attacked two
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: young women, 23-year-old Janice and 19-year-old Denise. Denise was last
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: seen entering a public restroom in the park.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: There are some witnesses to these crimes and there's one
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: common denominator and that seems to be a man called
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Ted who drives a BW Beetle. So that begins to
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: narrow the field a little.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Bundy later said that he kidnapped both women from the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: state park within a few hours of each other. He
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: raped them and made one watch as he murdered the other.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Bundy disposed of their bodies in an area two miles away.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: It's reported that Ted Bundy spent time with the bodies
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: of his victims, that he shampooed the hair of some
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: of them, that he painted their fingernails.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: What his ammo always consists of is taking these two
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: facets of his personality, and he used one of them,
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: the intelligent, the charming, the caring, the one.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: That would help wash the hair.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: He'd use that to seduce them into his private presence,
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: and then the monster, the face of rage would come out,
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: and this would plunder this woman asunder.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: In September of 1974, Bundy left Washington and moved east
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to Salt Lake City. The 27-year-old had been accepted into
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: law school again, this time at the University of Utah.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: On the surface, he looked like an ordinary student, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: inside was a cunning serial killer.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: He was not your average person. He was bright, brilliant.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: He felt like he was a chameleon in that he
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: could disguise himself, he could change his colors, and he
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: could take advantage.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Of Bundy later claimed that he first killed in Utah
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: on October 2nd, 1974. The victim was just 16 years old,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and her body was never found. Rhonda Stapley, a University
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: of Utah pharmacy student, was waiting for a bus.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I had a dental appointment downtown, While I was downtown,
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: I decided I would walk over to a city park.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: And then my mouth started to become numb from the
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: dental surgery, and I could tell that I needed to
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: go home to some aspirins pretty soon. So I went
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: over to where the bus stop was.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: The bus did not show, but Ted Bundy did. He
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: pulled his VW Beetle up to the bus stop and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: offered her a ride.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: He was nicely dressed, handsome. He told me that he
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: was a law student, and I was feeling pretty lucky
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: what college girl wouldn't want to meet a lost woman.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: Unlike other serial killers, he did not target prostitutes, which
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: are easy victims. He targeted young, attractive, intelligent, often beautiful
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: and successful women. This he could do because of his intelligence.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: That made him a unique threat and danger.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: After a couple of blocks with Rhonda in the car,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Bundy took a turn away from the university.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: Very politely, he says... I hope you don't mind, but
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: I have a short errand to run. And I said,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: I thought you were taking me to the zoo. And
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: he said, no. I said, near the zoo. And we
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: kept driving up that canyon and then down another canyon.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Bundy drove up into Big Cottonwood Canyon just southeast of
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the city.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: At this point, he stopped talking to me. He just
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: had both hands on the steering wheel and was just driving.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: As Bundy came to a corner, he slowed down.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: In my mind... I thought that he is looking for
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: a place to pull over and park and make out.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: And so in my mind, I'm trying to figure out
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: how do I get out of this situation without embarrassing
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: either of us.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Bundy pulled off the road and into a secluded picnic
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: area and parked the car.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: And then he turned towards me and he leaned in
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: really close to my face. I thought he was going
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: to kiss me. Instead, he said, do you know what?
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: I'm going to kill you. And he put his hands
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: on my throat and started squeezing.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: She fell unconscious. When Rhonda eventually woke up, she was
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: lying on the picnic table with Bundy on top of her.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: He was sitting on my chest with all of his
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: weight on my chest and stomach, and I told him,
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: get off, I can't breathe. And he says, stop struggling
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: and I'll let you breathe. And so I held still
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: and he kind of rocked up onto his knees so
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: it took some of the pressure off. And then he
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: put his hand over my nose and mouth and cut
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: off my ear that way. And he would do that
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: until I would just go unconscious, and then he would
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: kind of bring me back. He liked watching me fade
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: in and out of consciousness.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Rhonda had just one chance to save herself.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: The last time when I regained consciousness, I noticed that
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: he wasn't standing by me anymore. Kenyon was pitch black
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: with darkness. There was little light coming from the dome
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: light of the car because he had opened the door
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: to the Volkswagen and was fiddling around with something in
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: the back seat. and I used that opportunity to just
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: run the opposite direction. I just jumped up and ran, fortunately,
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: or just by pure luck, or grace of God, or
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: intervention from above, or something. I happened to fall into
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: the mountain river, which wasn't very deep, but it was really,
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: really fast, and it swept me away. There was water
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: swirling around boulders and flowing over boulders, and I, of course,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: was smashing into those. Eventually, I was able to climb
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: out and and rearranged my clothes so I could walk home.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: And that's what I did, is I just walked home.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Rhonda kept her attack by Bundy a secret for more
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: than 30 years.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: I felt embarrassed and stupid and ashamed, and plus I
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: was a religious LDS Mormon girl, and the teachings at
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: that time were that if you have a choice of
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: losing your life or losing your virtue, it would be
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: better for you eternally if you lost your life. So
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: I decided the best thing for me to do was
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: just to suck it up and pretend it never happened
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: and go on with my life.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Rhonda's escape did not deter Bundy's murderous plans. A few
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: weeks later, in November 1974, Bundy was prowling a mall
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: in Murray, Utah, posed as a police officer. Disguised, he
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: managed to entice an 18-year-old telephone operator called Carol to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: get into his car. He planned on raping and killing her.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: And this goes wrong, it fails, she gets away.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: During the struggle, Carol had managed to open the car
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: door and escape.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Ted Bundy is not the kind of guy who just
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: gives up and goes home. He's got his mind set
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: on it. He wants to get what he wants that night.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Now two of Bundy's victims had escaped death. The next
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: would not be so fortunate. On November the 8th, Bundy
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: kidnapped 17-year-old Deborah as she left a theatre production. she
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: was on her way to pick up her brother. Deborah
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: was never seen again.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: What happens with Bundy and many other serial killers, they
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: have to kill.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: They kill, they get a release.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: Sometimes they get a little extra release by returning to
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: the corpse and having a small dose of the arousal,
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: which they can live through by toying with their trophies
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: and toying with the corpse itself.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: And then they have a rest period.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: All the time 27-year-old Bundy had been killing, he was
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: still seeing his long-term girlfriend, Elizabeth, in Seattle. In the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: autumn of 1974, he also got involved with Carol, a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: single mother and a divorcee.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: He presented as completely normal, and so many people were
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: taken in by him.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Ted Bundy had yet to appear on the police radar
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: as a suspect, but thanks to eight eyewitnesses who saw
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: him in July of 1974 at Lake Sammamish, the Washington
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: State Police were on the lookout for a man who'd
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: introduced himself as Ted and was driving a tan VW Beetle.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: This guy is reported to be nice-looking, in his 20s,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: just an average college guy. He doesn't look like a monster,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: and nobody thinks that a serial killer looks like this.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Police issued a composite sketch based on the descriptions they had.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: It was broadcast on national television and was seen by Elizabeth.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: She called the police. She gave them Bundy's details as
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: well as those of his car. But the police dismissed
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the tip because reportedly Bundy was a clean-cut law student.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: A year later, the 28-year-old headed cross-country. He raped and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: killed three young women in Colorado. In May, he assaulted
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: a 12-year-old child. She'd been abducted from her junior high
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: school in Pocatello, Idaho.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Here, we've got Ted Bundy seeing an opportunity and actually
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: seizing it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: With not too much.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Regard to the risk, and that's not really his previous MO.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: He's used that charm before, but this is quite disorganized,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: and this is something that will lead to his downfall.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Bundy had got away with multiple murders and, despite a
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: sketch of him in circulation, had not been identified by police.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: In June 1975, he returned to Utah and killed a
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: 15-year-old girl in Provo. Two months later, Bundy was driving
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: erratically through a Salt Lake City suburb in his tan
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: VW Beetle when he was spotted by a Utah Highway
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Patrol officer.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Ted Bundy is pulled over by a police officer who
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: notices that the front passenger seat is missing. There's an
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: ice pick, there's a crowbar, there's a ski mask. And
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: all of this looks incredibly suspicious. But Ted Bundy, being
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: the charming manipulator, has an explanation for all of this.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Suspicions were aroused, but the Utah police did not have
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: enough evidence to detain Bundy for anything to do with
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the murders. Instead, three Utah detectives flew to Seattle where
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: they met up with the Washington police. Together, they interviewed
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Bundy's long-term girlfriend, Elizabeth. She told them that she'd found
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: some strange items in the apartment a year earlier, including
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a meat cleaver and a bag of women's clothing.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: What happens over the course of the lives of serial
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: killers is the time it takes them to need another killing.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: To need, if you will, another savage evil meal gets
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: shorter and shorter and shorter. Their control gets less and
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: less and less. The way they perpetrate their crimes becomes
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: wilder and more foolish.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: With the FBI on his trail, Bundy sold his VW,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: but it was found by police. Inside, they discovered strands
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: of survivor Carol's hair and hairs from two other women.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: On October the 2nd, 1975, detectives found Bundy in Utah,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: arrested him, and put him in a lineup. There, Carol
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: positively identified him as her abductor.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: This is where he's taken his eye off the ball.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: This is where he started making mistakes. He's been so
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: driven by his wants and his desires that he.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Stopped to actually risk assess what he's doing.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Unable to find enough evidence to charge him with any murders,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Bundy only stood trial for Carol's aggravated kidnap and assault.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: On June the 30th, 1976, Bundy was sentenced to serve
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: one to 15 years and was eventually moved to the
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Garfield County Jail in Colorado.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: I felt relieved that he was arrested and wasn't a
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: threat on the street anymore.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Just as police were gathering enough evidence to charge him
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: with the murder of a 23-year-old woman in Snowmass, Bundy
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: pulled a major surprise.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: There's a preliminary hearing, and Ted Bundy, being the incredibly
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: arrogant individual that he is, decides that he's going to
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: defend himself in court.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: Bundy was savvy about how the system operated. By being
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: his own lawyer, he had access to the law library
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: system of the jail. And he was allowed to go there,
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: notwithstanding that once you got access to.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: The law library system, you could go right out the window,
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: which he did.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Bundy escaped and went on the run in Colorado. He
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: was caught six days later. A year later, he pulled
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: another surprise.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: He's in his cell and he notices that there's a
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: hole in the ceiling. And one day he manages it
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: and he gets through the hole and he comes out.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: in the apartment that belongs to the chief jailer. And
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: he literally walks out of the front door of the
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: prison and he's away again.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Free and on the loose, Bundy made his way to
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the peaceful college town of Tallahassee in the sunshine state
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: of Florida.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: I suspect that when Bundy knows he's at the end
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: of his rope, he's been arrested enough times, had enough
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: interactions to realize that this story is going to come
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: to an end.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: So it's in Florida.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: That he goes on his rampage.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Around 2.45 a.m. on January the 15th, 1978, Ted Bundy
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: broke into the Chi Omega sorority house.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: He's somebody who's familiar with college towns, with college buildings,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: so I think he knew that there were many women
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: in this house, and that was his intention all along.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: Within 15 minutes, he had attacked four women, brutally cracking
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: their skulls, breaking their collarbones.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: 21-year-old Margaret was hit with a piece of firewood and
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: then strangled to death with her stockings. 20-year-old Lisa was
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: beaten unconscious, raped, and killed.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: The attack is incredibly brutal.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: There's rape.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: He beats people. He knocks people's teeth out. He bites
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: the buttock of one of the victims.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: The magnitude of the terror for the victim is as
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: intense as the magnitude of the rage by the perpetrator.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Two others were both severely beaten and assaulted. Miraculously, they survived.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Within the hour, the sheriff of Leon County, Ken Katsaris,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: was called to the crime scene.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: When I got there, I did check with the investigators.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: They had secured the scene. We knew that we had
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: two who were obviously dead and two that they believed
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: may die. You could tell which one was first. You
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: could tell which one was second, third and fourth. But
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: you could tell how much energy that he expended.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: This was not the end of Bundy's activity that night.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: As I'm standing outside of the sorority house, we get
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: a call that there's strange noises coming from a condo
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: next door. And I sent an investigator immediately because I said,
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: six blocks away, could it be? He's doing it again,
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: which only tells you he couldn't have. help himself.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Bundy had broken into another apartment where he savagely beat
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: another student.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: She was in a pool of blood when my investigator
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: went in the condo or the apartment, and Bundy was
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: leaving out the back window, but she tended to the
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: injured first.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Still free, a few weeks later, Bundy struck again, this
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: time in Lake City in northern Florida. His victim was
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: another little girl who was just 12 years old.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: He is a prolific serial killer at this point in time.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Serial killing is his hobby, it's his vocation, it's something
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: that he feels that he's good at, and more so,
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: he's getting away with it. And when somebody's getting away
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: with it, they're certainly not going to stop. And if anything,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: their offending is only going to get worse.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Bundy dumped the girl's brutalised body in woods about 30
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: miles west of Lake City. He then stole a car
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: and made his way west into the Florida panhandle. Three
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: days later, on February 15th, 1978, an alert Pensacola police
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: officer stopped America's most notorious serial killer near the Alabama
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: state line for driving suspiciously.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: He just had a gut feeling that something might be wrong. And,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: of course, it came out over his radio after he
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: called it in that the vehicle had been stolen.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: After a brief struggle in which the officer was forced
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: to fire a warning shot, Bundy was arrested. He was
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: taken to the Leon County Jail in Tallahassee, Florida.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: I had him in custody for over two years in
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: my detention center, my jail. I had him so locked
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: up that he wasn't going anywhere. He not only was
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: in a secure jail cell, but I had him in
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: a cell that we had lined with armor plate steel
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: in sheets that were welded in terms of the seams, floor, walls, ceiling.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: There was no light fixture that he could remove like
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: he did in Colorado. And then I put extra locks
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: on the door, heavy, impenetrable locks, in addition to the
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: jail key lock. And they were in the hands of
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: several people.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: When she discovered that Bundy was arrested for murder, his
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: partner Elizabeth finally left him. At the same time, detectives
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: in Washington state tried to build their case against Bundy
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and prove that he was a serial killer. Sheriff Ken
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Katsaris was also doing some digging of his own.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: I went to his cell one day, talking to him
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: through the port. I told him, I said, Ted, I
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: think I know what's going on with you. You've had
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: a problem with your mother because you were born out
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: of wedlock. She withheld who your father was. You've never
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: forgiven her. And that has a lot to do with
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: what you're doing in terms of taking it out on
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: other women. He immediately opened his eyes wide with anger.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: He wanted to kill. He immediately started trashing his cell,
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: throwing things about, and he grabbed the shower rod, which
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: was welded in place. He ripped it from its position,
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: which meant a lot of power.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Intellectually, Sheriff Ken Katsaris was more than a match for Bundy.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: He managed to goad the serial killer into a game-changing revelation.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: He would taunt me with Ken, as he would refer
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: to me, with that sarcastic twist of that name, just
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: three letters, but he would say, Ken, and then he
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: would say, the evidence is there, you just can't find it.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: And I thought then, I know what he's referring to.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: He signed one of those bodies.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: This was Ken's eureka moment.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: He used his teeth and clamped hard twice to leave
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: a signature. And I realized we had a very deliberate
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: double bite impression. Double meaning he bit down and then
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: he came out and That was his signature.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Ken Katsaris was convinced that bite marks left on the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: bodies of his victims were the smoking gun that would
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: show once and for all that Ted Bundy was indeed
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: America's most vicious serial killer. But to convict Bundy, the
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: sheriff of Leon County needed to prove it.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: When I viewed the two bodies of the young ladies
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: at the morgue, on the slab, just barely 20 years
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: of age. I had a one month old little girl
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: at home and I had a two year old daughter
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: at home. And I just kept flashing images that this
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: could be them. I made myself a promise in the morgue.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Somebody's gonna pay for this. I will find this person.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: During his regular interactions with Bundy, the sheriff realized that
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: in the Chi Omega sorority house attack, Bundy had left
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: a bite mark on the left buttock of Lisa, one
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: of the victims.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: I was teaching the forensics of homicide investigation, and I
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: was teaching the advanced concepts, so I knew that these
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: bites were going to be important.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Sheriff Ken Katsaris determined that if he could get an
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: impression of Bundy's bite, he might be able to match
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: it to the marks left on Lisa's body.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: I needed an exemplar. I needed his teeth marks. And
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: that became, I think it consumed me. How can I
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: get them?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: The prison officers tried some novel techniques to get the
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: clean impression they needed for a comparison.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: We gave him different kinds of fruit because we weren't
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: sure which one the core would leave the best bite impression.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: And that inmate said, you're getting fruit? I don't get
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: any fruit. And I think he became suspicious that something
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: was going on with that because he quit eating his fruit.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: After their fruit tricks failed, the sheriff and his team
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: had a trailblazing brainwave.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Then it struck us. It just, it hit. What about
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: a search warrant for his mouth? We can just go
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: serve it. That would get the bite impression.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Ken decided to take Bundy to his own dentist.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I personally went to Ted Bundy's cell and I said,
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: you're coming with me. I told him to put his
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: brace on. I had a special brace developed, now called
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: the Bundy brace. It was spring-loaded so that when he
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: would straighten out his leg, you could hear that spring
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: pop into place. That way, if he tried to run,
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: he'd be running with one stiff leg. I told him
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: to put his brace on.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Bundy reluctantly went with Ken to the dentist's office.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: And I escorted him up the stairway because he couldn't
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: walk it very well with the brace. And then the
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: door opened, and there stood three men with little white
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: schmocks on and the dental chair behind them, and he knew,
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: he knew the jig was up. He knew, and that's
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: when I knew that he knew that the bite marks
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: were deliberate, and they were put there for a purpose.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Ken told Bundy that he had a warrant and they
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: were going to get a bite impression from him.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: And I had the judge put in there that we
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: could use any and all force reasonably necessary. I showed
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: him the contraptions that they use post-mortem to keep the
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: mouth open. And he looked at me. He sat down
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: in the dental chair, smiled, and said, Ken, you know
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: I'm not a violent person. Do what you need to do.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: The bite mark impression that the sheriff obtained would prove
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: vital in proving that Bundy was in fact a killer.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: His trial for the murder of the two students in
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the Chi Omega sorority house and the assault of three
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: more young women began in Miami on the 25th of June, 1979.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: It would be the first national televised trial in America.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: As I said, I'm going to argue the law broadly
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: because I haven't had an opportunity to to complete my
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: research on the status of Florida law.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: I was watching the trial on TV and I saw
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: how arrogant he was and he wasn't in shackles. He
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: was dressed, pretending to be his own liar, dressed like
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: a liar, smiling and flirting with the people in the
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: audience and just being Mr. Charismatic and that was kind
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: of sickening.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: On July the 24th, 1979, the jury convicted Ted Bundy
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: on two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: attempted murder. He was given the death sentence twice.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: The only real evidence we had was the bite impression,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: and obviously I felt good because I found it. I
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: was conflicted. Yes, I understood that this was congratulations, but
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: it was no congratulations. These women had suffered. Some suffered
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: and lived, thank God. Others died. How do you celebrate?
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Bundy would spend 10 years on death row fighting his execution.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Ted Bundy exhausted every legal avenue he possibly could to
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: save himself from the death penalty. So the cost of
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: his trial and his appeals was around about $ 9 million,
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: which was a lot of money at the time.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: At the sentencing for the rape and murder of a
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: 12-year-old girl in Lake City, Florida, Bundy represented himself. Sensationally,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: he used the opportunity to propose to Carol. Carol met
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Bundy in Seattle in 1974. She would profess his innocence
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: until the eve of his execution. She had a daughter
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: in October of 1982 and claimed that Bundy was the father.
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: Serial killers, they are intense, they are moving, and they
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: are real. And I think some women are excited about that.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: Some women need that terror, that terror, that excitement, especially
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: if somehow they could be near the flame. without being
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: burned by its touch.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Over the 10 years that Bundy was on death row,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: he slowly confessed to 30 documented murders.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: He has knowledge of murders that he's committed, which the
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: authorities don't know about, and he's going to use that
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: to his full advantage. And he's going to drip-feed some
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: of this information out bit by bit in order to
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: try and buy himself some time.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: As the appeals ran out and as the death sentence neared,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: a macabre fascination with Bundy grew.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: Just before his execution, we started to see this immense
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: media circus around the event. We started to see radio
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: shows playing the sound of frying bacon on air and
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: they had a Bundy countdown. People had Ted Bundy dances
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: and barbecues.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: At 7.16am on January 24th, 1989... Age 42, Ted Bundy
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: was finally executed.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Even when he was being walked to the electric chair,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: he was shouting out names of victims. Right up until
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: the end, he's trying to buy himself more time. He's
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: trying to just gradually give away some of this knowledge
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: about his crimes.
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: It's a sad thing from a scientific point of view
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: that he would die without telling us or giving us
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: any hint about whether or not there was something in
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: his life that we don't know about that helps explain
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: his conduct.
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: I was not really happy, but kind of relieved. Normally,
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: I don't very often agree with the death penalty, but
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: with him, it was necessary.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: So many people were taken in by him.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: Despite the fact he was leaving this trail of bodies
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: behind him, monsters don't always look like monsters. Sometimes they
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: look like the guy next door.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Arguably America's most notorious murderer, Bundy was deceptively depraved. He
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: used his charms to kidnap, rape, and kill, by some estimates,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: up to 100 young women and girls, making Ted Bundy
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: one of the world's most evil killers.
