re: TED BUNDY: Netflix: Conversation with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

He comes across as someone who trained himself to be well spoken but certainly not naturally gifted. His killings were impulsive and sloppy.
And I don't see what is so attractive about him physically. I can see another man and realize he is a good looking, well put together baw. Bundy has a fricking unibrow and a non symmetrical face. He looks off to me. I just don't see it.
I mean look at this dude.

Well, that's another problem - it's almost as if there were at least 2 different "killing" personas, too. Some were very effective. Some of the targets he stalked for weeks. Others were selected on the spur of the moment (clearly).
He had some level of control for some periods, yet he binged in Tallahassee in a regressive, impulsive way - had he exercised more control, they might not have started looking for him so quickly. Of course, stealing credit cards and cars got him caught and they would have put 2 and 2 together.

Well, he definitely comes across better on film than in many still photos, including this one. He had a practiced charm and charisma that seemed to work on many folks. He could also turn this dark for the opposite effect.
He was a chameleon, too, by design and they did a good job of that in the Netflix show - showing how he appeared differently depending on what he did with his hair, his facial hair, his expression and even which angle one saw or photographed him from.
Generic and "good looking" (at least for the time/place) was pretty consistent from the reports of the era. It was probably more than mere photogenic good looks.

I had not really paid attention to the way he looked until the Netflix documentary. Didn't know that much about him at all except the basics. But the documentary does show that he was generally considered a decent looking guy. I'm sure some of it was relative to the "for a deranged serial killer" but at times he did come off decent looking.
Other times of course he looked fricking crazy.

Mark Harmon and Zac Ephron aren't exactly plain looking guys. I think there's a reason they cast attractive actors for the role instead of Steve Buscemi or Paul Giamatti.

I grew up in Florida and was about the same age as his victims. My best friend that I’ve known since high school was living in a sorority house at FSU about 4 houses down at the time of the Chi Omega murders. Spoke to her last night and she said she would never forget that night. From then on, they went everywhere in groups.

From a woman's opinion, back in the late 70s, early 80s, yes he was good looking. But the man could go from good looking to total evil looking. For example, some of the photos posted he was good looking but when you see him being led away from the courtroom, being pissed, his look went from good looking to evil as f*uck. I remember watching the last interview he gave the night before he was executed. I was 12 and felt bad for him because he was blaming everything on porn and because I thought he was good looking. I was naive and my mom said "Dont feel bad for him because thats what he wants". So imagine those young girls who came across his path. Those girls who were groupies didn't realize if he got them in a room for 5 minutes, he would have done things to them that they would be horrified. Ted was a diabolical SOB. They got him for 4 murders but he claimed to murder over 70 women. He was an evil SOB who deserved what he got.

agreed, based on the styles/trends at the time, he was a good looking guy.
remember back then everyone had longer hair, and guys were scrawnier.

Dude had a very aggressive unibrow for a long period of time.

Stunning to me that FL authorities had custody of a notorious serial killer on the FBI’s Most Wanted List and they couldn’t figure out who he was just because he was refusing to tell them his name.

Yea, and a sharp arse nose and unsymmetrical face. I just don't see it. Throw a 5 o clock shadow on any non fat person and they look better.
the unibrow was around for a long time. Even in his HS pic.
I get that he was good looking compared to other serial killers. But I don't think he is compared to just dudes in general. JMO.

Welcome to 1978.
Most people in Florida probably didn't even know anything about Ted Bundy and what he had done out west prior to his capture.

but in this case they used that bull shite stuff to actually put a murderer away.
I thought this as well, but it seemed even if that didnt get him, all of the evidence they had on him with the young girl wouldve done the job... Had he still been in custody.
Ill just say, yes he was a sick frick but you gotta admit it was pretty impressive how he managed to escape custody twice.

Still not impressed by someone escaping a situation when they weren’t handcuffed or supervised in the least
Pretty sure the kid from Making a murderer could’ve gotten out of that one

Jumped out a 2 story building was kinda meh, but breaking out of jail by going through the ceiling, stealing an officers uniform and walking out the front door was pretty boss.

I watched this recently and an ABC doc Hulu recommended.
Honestly, outside the Bundy narrative, I am so confused with the content that is presented and the content that is withheld.
In both, they liberally detail the murder of the victims. Literally murdering people. But both skate the details of his crimes.
Maybe it's just me, but I have difficulty accepting it's okay to discuss murdering people, but not for viewership the other heinous acts he committed.
I would expect redaction or omitting in a story piece, but a documentary shouldn't hold back. Especially if murder is okay to talk about. Not everyone watches docs, I get that. But a doc should be in your face truth IMO. Let a bio-pic hit the others.

Inmates had been telling the guards they heard him in the ceiling but they never looked into it.

70's police were DUMB.

I think you could literally just cross county crime and rarely be identified. Think about interstate truck drivers. You could do whatever during your traverse and police aren't sharing across.
Technology has made a huge difference now, along with national databases.
