Bundy kidnapped, raped, murdered, and mutilated over 30 girls in the 70s.

quote:

Hundreds of revelers sang, danced and set off fireworks in a pasture across from the prison as the execution was carried out


Wikipedia: Ted Bundy

quote:

By 1974, Kloepfer started to suspect Bundy’s crimes. When she questioned him about odd behaviors, like keeping a meat cleaver in his desk, he used his charm to deflect her concerns.


Biography.com

If only Washington state had done what FL did (great work Ol' Sparky), dozens of young women might still be alive.

Finally, Bundy was interviewed by James Dobson the night before his execution. Link to the transcript below.

ETA: hopefully the last link is now working. I changed sources. The first was to: https://castimonia.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/ted-bundy-interview-transcript1.pdf

I always thought how he escaped the first capture was really odd and nonchalant. Oh I will just jump out the window when no one is looking

I lived in the Glenwood Springs area for almost 10 years. We were well aware that he escaped our jail.

They suspect his actual number is around 50 murders.

I've seen lots of interviews and many shows about Bundy over the years and the thing I found most disturbing when he talked was how he almost always referred to himself in 3rd person, as if trying to lessen his involvement in the crimes he committed.

Two separate jurisdictions had him under lock and key and he escaped to kill more women both times. At least Florida did it right once they got their hands on him after his spree there that included a 12 yr. old schoolgirl.

Saw an interview with someone that was around him before his execution. They said he was in absolute terror. I hope that was some relief to the victims families.

I also found it odd that for a guy who seemed intelligent, heading all the way across the country to mass kill in a death penalty happy state seemed like a really dumb move

He was a necrophile. He visited his dump site on Taylor Mt. until they were basically mush. Also, he decapitated one of his victims in Colorado and kept her head for awhile so he could do her hair and makeup. It’s chilling that he could be a brutal killer one minute, and then go home to his girlfriend and her child and be completely different.

Tried several times to exchange case information to delay the ride. At some point someone with some balls decided the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze when he kept playing games.

That interview was terrifying. That is one charismatic murderer.

He did have a daughter with Carole Boone while he was on death row. Rosa Bundy is her name.

He went weak kneed when they walked into the execution chamber. He practically had to be carried to the chair. He was brutal and cold-blooded when he was killing young women, and turned to jelly when it was his time to die.
