Let's go places. Florida State University, Tallahassee, January the 15th 1978, around 2.45am, a serial killer

1:03on the run broke into the Kai Omega sorority house and attacked four women. There's rape, he beats people, he knocks people's teeth out, he bites the butter of one of the victims. The blistering attack on all four students lasted just 15 minutes. He could strike like a chameleon, bam, and take his prey. In just four years in the mid 1970s, a sadistic killer kidnapped, raped and murdered at least 30 young women. A few lived to tell of their terrible ordeal. When he leaned in, I thought he was going to kiss me. Instead, he said, do you know what, I'm going to kill you. Initially, convicted of only kidnap and assault, it is suspected that Bundy may have raped and slaughtered up to 100 young women. Sentenced to death for his terrifying crimes, Ted Bundy is undoubtedly one of the world's

2:03most evil killers. Seattle, Washington, Ted Bundy began his reign of terror in the Pacific Northwest and spread it across seven U.S. states. He would eventually confess to the kidnapped, rape, and murder of 30 young women between 1974 and 1978. Two of his victims were just 12 years old. This is a man who killed in the most violent, the most terrifying way. He would before death, he would break bones, he would rip parts of the body off, he would keep parts of the body mutilated after he did it.

3:06This is a person who ravaged his victims, intending to cause pain. He was a monster because he just enjoyed killing. One of his interviews, the interviewer asked him, point blank, he said, Ted, why did you kill? And Ted kind of raised one eyebrow and kind of smiled and says, cause I liked it. Rhonda Stapeley was a college student in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1974. She says she survived a vicious attack by Bundy and was so traumatized she kept her ordeal secret for more than 30 years. Nobody went out at night, nobody even walked to the library alone. There was terror and fear among women everywhere. Ted Bundy was one of the most evil people in the world. When Bundy was finally caught in 1978, he was incarcerated at the Leon County Jail in Florida. Sheriff Ken Katzarist who oversaw all the county's prisons was charged with keeping him

4:07behind bars. He was evil, but you could not discern that, even if you knew he was evil. He came across as brilliant, charismatic, smart, so you put together the evil with all of those positive traits and you have a very dangerous person. This killer story begins in 1946. Theodore Robert Bundy was born on the 24th of November at the Elizabeth Lundholm for Unwent Mothers in Burlington, Vermont. This was the 1940s in America that the ideal nuclear family was mum and dad who were married, that nice family unit where everything is very neat and very defined. And people who were outside of that ideal really were stigmatized. To avoid that judgment, Ted's 22-year-old mother Eleanor moved back to her parents' home

5:11in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where her parents bought up Ted as their own. The unusual part of his childhood is how he's raised. He's adopted by his grandparents. He's raised alongside a person who he has told is his sister. But she wasn't. She was actually his mother. This arrangement went on for almost four years with Ted's grandparents as his main carers. His grandfather was quite a violent character, so that suggests to me that very early on in his life, he's almost in a bit of a survival mode. I'm not safe within this home. Just before his fourth birthday, Eleanor moved to Tacoma, Washington. There, she met and married Johnny Bundy in 1951. He formally adopted Ted when he was five years old. The couple had four children together, but Ted reportedly didn't form a close bond with his new family and still believed his mother was his sister. Ted Bundy is somebody who has always been really conscious of his social class.

6:14He came from quite humble beginnings that the family were quite poor. And he was really quite aware of that and really quite embarrassed and ashamed by it. An exceptionally bright student, Ted Bundy enrolled in the University of Washington in 1966 to study Chinese. There, age 20, he met and fell in love with a woman called Stephanie. This was his dream girl. This was the woman he was going to marry. This is the woman to which he was dedicated. It was romance in the real sense that you could imagine it, but she suddenly dumped him. One of the reasons that she cited was that he wasn't ambitious enough, and I think this would have really hit Ted Bundy quite hard because this feeds into his anxieties around his social class and those feelings of unease and those feelings of not being good enough. So what we've got happening here is this resentment brewing. Bundy dropped out of university in 1968. The following year, he returned to the East Coast in what he later described as a bid

7:16to understand his roots, whilst there, Bundy unearthed the family secret. He discovers his true identity. He discovers that the woman that he's considered to be his sister for his whole life is actually his mother, and he discovers his birth certificate and the birth certificate says he's illegitimate. The two most important women to him, his mother and his mother's surrogate, and the woman he wanted to marry. In essence, both deny and abandon him. The significance to him of that is that women simply cannot be trusted. In 1969, age 22, Bundy returned to the University of Washington and this time enrolled as a psychology major. There, he met and started dating a single mother called Elizabeth. Their turbulent relationship would last into the mid 1970s. Women serve at a function for him. They provide a roof over his head, meals on the table, sex, useful contacts with other

8:19people. So he has got quite a parasitic lifestyle. He will hook on to particular people and get from them what he wants, and then he will just discard them and move on. In 1971, Bundy got a part-time job at Seattle Suicide Hotline Crisis Centre. What he's doing is he's performing the role of the respectable middle-class young man. He wants to be seen to be helping other people. He wants to be seen to be doing socially worthy things, and this also feeds into the work that he becomes involved in in terms of political campaigning. When Bundy graduated university, he joined the Republican Governor's re-election campaign. Then in September of 1973, Bundy was accepted into law school at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, just 30 miles south of Seattle. Before beginning the law course, he went on a trip to California.

9:19Whilst there, he rekindled his relationship with his first love, Stephanie, despite still dating Elizabeth. All of a sudden, he's a different man. He's working for the governor, he's talented, he's successful, he looks like he's good enough for her finally. Ted Bundy and Stephanie get engaged, and they plan to get married, and Stephanie's very excited about this, but Ted very coldly just drops her. What this was all about was how far this man would go for revenge, to have the kind of narcissistic victory that he would not be her that rejected him, and then rejected her summarily. Having taken back control by ending the relationship with Stephanie, 27-year-old Ted Bundy returned to Washington and decided he needed to show woman kind who was boss. Just after midnight on January 4, 1974, Bundy broke into the basement apartment of an 18-year-old

10:20dancer and university student. She was at home asleep in house one night when Ted Bundy broke in, and he beat her with a metal pole, and he raped her, and she was in a really terrible state. Many people think this is something that just kind of came out of the blue, but I would say absolutely not, it didn't. I think this was an attack that was built up to. We often find, with offenders, there's some behaviour before they get to the point of raping and attacking people, and in Ted Bundy's case this was voyeurism, so he had a history of peeping through women's windows and watching them get on dress, and it's something that gradually builds, and it's not enough for him, and he ratchets the top to the next level. The violent assault left the young woman unconscious for 10 days. She's sustained injuries from the blows to the head, that will cause brain damage and brain swelling, and when he sexually assaulted her with the metal bar, that caused damage

11:22to her internal organs, and she was left permanently altered by those injuries.

Let's go places. Seattle, Washington, February, 1974. It was here that 27-year-old Ted Bundy attacked again and turned from rapist to killer.

12:28It's no coincidence that she's a university student who he sees as privileged who he sees as undeserving, whereas he's somebody who's really hard done by, and it is that constant jealousy, that constant underlying feeling of shame that drives a lot of his violence. Bundy's chosen target was a 21-year-old University of Washington student called Linda. He broke into her room. He very severely attacks her. He really does bash her at her skull when he carries out the assault on her. She doesn't survive the attack. That night after he'd attacked and killed Linda, Bundy moved her away from the campus. He dumped her body in the dense woods of Taylor Mountain Forest, a 30-minute drive from the university. It's very important that he maintains control over the victims, even after he's killed them, so he doesn't just leave them where they are. He wants to be able to know where they are.

13:28He wants to have control over them. So he chooses a local beauty spot Taylor Mountain. It's a place that people generally go to enjoy, but for him it really is a macabre dump site. Linda's body was found a year later in 1975. Her death marked the start of a furious spate of killings, that this time Bundy quit law school into coma after just six months. He returned to Washington, not as a student, but as a predator. He would lure women over to his car, saying that he needed their assistance with something. And he'd often be wearing a sling to make it appear that he'd injure himself. And he was good looking, he was charming, he was respectable. Bundy's trademark VW Beetle became his favourite method for abducting women, before taking them to a remote spot to attack them. When he heard it was like a shark, grabbing its prey, bam!

14:29He'd use a blunt object to blunch in his victims and then he'd strangle them. After eight aggravated murders of young women in the first half of 1974, a rate of more than one a month, fear spread across the Pacific Northwest. I think Ted Bundy enjoys the feelings of power. He enjoys the feelings of control. So you start to see the attacks get closer together, because he's having to escalate his offending to get that same feeling of power. He knows with psychopaths like Ted Bundy, they're prone to boredom, so they will start to mix it up a bit and offend in different ways. Then in the summer of that year, Bundy changed his MO. He now decided to attack in broad daylight. On July the 14th, it makes Samamish State Park just over 15 miles southeast of the University of Washington, Bundy attacked two young women, 23-year-old Janice and 19-year-old Denise.

15:29Denise was last seen entering a public restroom in the park. There are some witnesses to these crimes and that there's one common denominator and that seems to be a man called Ted, who drives a BW beetle, so that begins to narrow the field a little. Bundy later said that he kidnapped both women from the State Park within a few hours of each other. He raped them and made one watch as he murdered the other. Bundy disposed of their bodies in an area two miles away. It's reported that Ted Bundy spent time with the bodies of his victims, that he shampooed the hair of some of them that he painted their fingernails. What his MO always consists of is taking these two facets of his personality and he used one of them, the intelligent, the charming, the caring, the one that would help watch the hair. He'd use that to seduce them into his private presence and then the monster, the face,

16:37the face of rage would come out and this would plunder this woman asunder. In September of 1974, Bundy left Washington and moved east to Salt Lake City. The 27-year-old had been accepted into law school again this time at the University of Utah. On the surface, he looked like an ordinary student, but inside was a cunning serial killer. He was not your average person. He was bright, brilliant. He felt like he was a chameleon in that he could disguise himself. He could change his colors and he could take advantage. Bundy later claimed that he first killed in Utah on October the 2nd, 1974. The victim was just 16 years old and her body was never found.

17:37Ronda Stapley, a University of Utah pharmacy student, was waiting for a bus. I had a dental appointment downtown and while it was downtown, I decided I would walk over to a city park and then my mouth started to become a numf in the dental surgery and I could tell that I needed to go home to some aspirin pretty soon. So I went over to where the bus stop was. The bus did not show, but Ted Bundy did. Ted Bundy pulled his VW Beetle up to the bus stop and offered her a ride. He was nicely dressed, handsome. He told me that he was a lost student and I was feeling pretty lucky what college girl wouldn't want to meet a lost student. Unlike other serial killers, he did not target prostitutes which are easy victims. He target young, attractive, intelligent, often beautiful and successful women. This he could do because of his intelligence. That made him a unique threat and danger.

18:39After a couple of blocks with Ronda in the car, Bundy took a turn away from the university. Very politely he says, well hope you don't mind, but I have a short errand to run and I said, I thought you were taking me to the zoo and he said no, I said near the zoo and we have driving up that canyon and then down another canyon. Bundy drove up into big cottonwood canyon just southeast of the city. At this point he stopped talking to me, just had both hands on steering wheel and was just driving. As Bundy came to a corner, he slowed down. In my mind, I thought that he is looking for a place to pull over and park and make out. And so in my mind, I'm trying to figure out how do I get out of this situation without embarrassing either of us. And he pulled off the road and into a secluded picnic area and parked the car. And then he turned towards me and he leaned in really close to my face. I thought he was going to kiss me. Instead he said, do you know what? I'm going to kill you and put his hands on my throat and started squeezing.

19:44She fell unconscious. When Ronda eventually woke up, she was lying on the picnic table with Bundy on top of her. I was sitting on my chest with all of his weight on my chest and stomachs and I told him, get off, I can't breathe. And he says, stop struggling and I'll let you breathe. And so I held still and he kind of rocked up onto his knees so it took some of the pressure off. And then he put his hand over my nose and mouth and cut off my air that way. And he would do that until I would just go unconscious and then he would kind of bring me back. He liked watching me fade in and out of consciousness. Ronda had just one chance to save herself. The last time when I regained consciousness, I noticed that he wasn't standing by me anymore. Pit Canyon was pitch black with darkness and there was little light coming from the dome light of the car because he had opened the door to the Volkswagen and was spiddling around with something in the back seat. And I used that opportunity to just run the opposite direction.

20:44I just jumped up and ran fortunately or just by pure luck or grace of God or intervention from above or something, I happened to fall into the mountain river, which wasn't very deep. That was really, really fast and it swept me away. There was water swirling around boulders and flowing over boulders and of course was smashing into those and eventually I was able to climb out and rearrange my clothes so I could walk home. And that's what I did is I just walked home. Ronda kept her attack by Bundy a secret for more than 30 years. I felt embarrassed and stupid and ashamed and the plus I was religious, LDS Mormon girl and the teachings at that time were that if you have a choice of losing your life or losing your virtue, it would be better for you eternally if you lost your life. So I decided the best thing for me to do was just to suck it up and pretend and never

21:47happened and go on with my life. Ronda's escape did not deter Bundy's murderous plans. A few weeks later in November 1974, Bundy was prowling a mall in Murray, Utah, post as a police officer. Disguised, he managed to entice an 18 year old telephone operator called Carol to get into his car. He planned on raping and killing her. And this goes wrong if fails, she gets away. Following the struggle, Carol had managed to open the car door and escape. Ted Bundy is not the kind of guy who just gives up and goes home. He's got his mind set on it. He wants to get what he wants that night. Now two of Bundy's victims had escaped death. The next would not be so fortunate. On November the 8th, Bundy kidnapped 17 year old Deborah as she left a theatre production. She was on her way to pick up her brother. Deborah was never seen again.

22:50What happens with Bundy and many other serial killers, they have to kill. They kill, they get a release, sometimes they get a little extra release by returning to the corpse and having a small dose of the arousal which they can live through by toying with their trophies and toying with the corpse itself. And then they have a rest period. All the time 27 year old Bundy had been killing, he was still seeing his long term girlfriend Elizabeth in Seattle. In the autumn of 1974, he also got involved with Carol, a single mother and a divorcee. He presented us completely normal and so many people were taken in by him. Ted Bundy had yet to appear on the police radar as a suspect, but thanks to eight eyewitnesses who saw him in July of 1974 at Lake Samamish, the Washington State police were on the lookout for a man who'd introduced himself as Ted and was driving a tan VW Beetle.

23:56This guy is reported to be nice looking in his twenties, just an average college guy. He doesn't look like a monster and nobody thinks that a serial killer looks like this. This issued a composite sketch based on the descriptions they had. It was broadcast on national television and was seen by Elizabeth, she called the police. She gave them Bundy's details as well as those of his car. But the police dismissed the tip because reportedly Bundy was a clean cut law student. A year later, the 28 year old headed cross country. He raped and killed three young women in Colorado. In May, he assaulted a 12-year-old child. She'd been abducted from her junior high school in Pocketello, Idaho. Here, we've got Ted Bundy seeing an opportunity and actually seizing it with not too much regard to the risk and that's not really his previous MO.

24:59He's used that charm before, but this is quite disorganized and this is something that will lead to his downfall. Bundy had got away with multiple murders and despite a sketch of him in circulation had not been identified by police. In June 1975, he returned to Utah and killed a 15-year-old girl in Provo. Two months later, Bundy was driving erratically through a Salt Lake City suburb in his tan VW Beetle when he was spotted by a Utah Highway Patrol officer. Ted Bundy is pulled over by a police officer. He notices that the front passenger seat is missing. There's an ice pick, there's a crowbar, there's a ski mask. And all of this looks incredibly suspicious, but Ted Bundy being the charming manipulator has an explanation for all of this. Suspissions were aroused, but the Utah police did not have enough evidence to detain Bundy for anything to do with the murders. Instead, three Utah detectives flew to Seattle

26:00where they met up with the Washington police. Together, they interviewed Bundy's long-term girlfriend, Elizabeth. She told them that she'd found some strange items in the apartment a year earlier, including a meat cleaver and a bag of women's clothing. What happens over the course of the lives of serial killers is the time it takes them to need another killing, to need, if you will, another savage evil meal, get shorter and shorter and shorter. Their control gets less and less and less. The way they perpetrate their crimes becomes wilder and more foolish. With the FBI on his trail, Bundy sold his VW, but it was found by police. Inside, they discovered strands of survivor Carol's hair and hairs from two other women. On October the 2nd, 1975, detectives found Bundy in Utah, arrested him, and put him in a lineup. Their Carol positively identified him as her abductor.

27:06This is where he's taken his eye off the ball. This is where he started making mistakes. He's been so driven by his wants and his desires that he stopped to actually risk us that's what he's doing. Unable to find enough evidence to charge him with any murders, Bundy only stood trial for Carol's aggravated kidnap and assault. On June 30th, 1976, Bundy was sentenced to serve one to 15 years and was eventually moved to the Garfield County Jail in Colorado. I felt relieved that he was arrested and wasn't a threat on the street anymore. Just as police were gathering enough evidence to charge him with a murder of a 23-year-old woman in Snowmass, Bundy pulled a major surprise. There's a preliminary hearing and Ted Bundy being the incredibly arrogant individual that he is, decides that he's going to defend himself in court. Bundy was savvy about how the system operated.

28:06By being his own lawyer, he had access to the Law Library System of the Jail. And he was allowed to go there, notwithstanding that once you got access to the Law Library System, you could go right out the window, which he did. Bundy escaped and went on the run in Colorado. He was caught six days later. A year later, he pulled another surprise. He's in his style and he notices that there's a hole in the ceiling and one day he manages it and he gets through the hole and he comes out in the apartment that belongs to the chief Jailer and he literally walks out front door of the prison and he's away again. Free and on the loose, Bundy made his way to the peaceful college town of Tallahassee in the sunshine state of Florida. I suspect that when Bundy knows he's at the end of his rope, he's been arrested enough times, had enough interactions to realize that this story is going to come to an end. So it's in Florida that he goes on his rampage.

29:06Around 2.45 AM on January the 15th, 1978, Ted Bundy broke into the Kai Omega sorority house. He's somebody who's familiar with college towns, with college buildings. So I think he knew that there were many women in this house and that was his intentional along. Within 15 minutes, he'd attacked four women brutally, cracking their skulls, breaking their collarbones. 21-year-old Margaret was hit with a piece of firewood and then strangled to death with her stockings. 20-year-old Lisa was beaten unconscious, raped and killed. The attack is incredibly brutal. There's rape. He beats people. He knocks people's teeth out. He bites the butter of one of the victims. The magnitude of the terror for the victim is as intense as the magnitude of the rage by the perpetrator. Two others were both severely beaten and assaulted. Miraculously, they survived.

30:08Within the hour, the sheriff of Leon County Kenkatsalis was called to the crime scene. When I got there, I did check with the investigators. They had secured the scene. We knew that we had two who were obviously dead and two that they believed may die. You could tell which one was first. You could tell which one was second, third and fourth. But you could tell how much energy that he expended. This was not the end of Bundy's activity that night. As I'm standing outside of the sorority house, we get a call that there's strange noises coming from a condo next door. And I sent an investigator immediately because I said, six blocks away, could it be? He's doing it again, which only tells you

31:12he couldn't help himself. Bundy had broken into another apartment where he savagely beat another student. She was in a pool of blood when my investigator went in the condor of the apartment. And Bundy was leaving out the back window, but she tended to the injured first. Still free, a few weeks later, Bundy struck again. This time in Lake City, in northern Florida. His victim was another little girl who was just 12 years old. He is a prolific serial killer at this point in time. Serial killing is his hobby. It's his vocation. It's something that he feels that he's good at. And more so, he's getting away with it. And when somebody's getting away with it, they're certainly not going to stop. And if anything, they're offending his only going to get worse. Bundy dumped the girl's brutalized body in woods about 30 miles west of Lake City. He then stole a car and made his way west into the Florida panhandle.

32:15Three days later, on February the 15th, 1978, an alert Pensacola police officer stopped America's most notorious serial killer near the Alabama state line for driving suspiciously. He just had a gut feeling that something might be wrong. And of course, it came out over his radio after he called it in. The vehicle had been stolen. After a brief struggle in which the officer was forced to fire a warning shot, Bundy was arrested. He was taken to the Leon County jail in Tallahassee, Florida. I had him in custody for over two years in my detention center, my jail. I had him so locked up that he wasn't going anywhere. He not only was in a secure jail cell, but I had him in a cell that we had lined with armor plate steel in sheets that were welded

33:17in terms of the seams, floor walls, ceiling. There was no light fixture that he could remove like he did in Colorado. And then I put extra locks on the door, heavy, impenetrable locks, in addition to the jail key law. And they were in the hands of several people. When she discovered that Bundy was arrested for murder, his partner Elizabeth finally left him. At the same time, detectives in Washington state tried to build their case against Bundy and prove that he was a serial killer. Sheriff Ken Kent Salis was also doing some digging of his own. I went to his cell one day talking to him through the port. I told him, I said, Ted, I think I know what's going on with you. You've had a problem with your mother because you were born out of wedlock.

34:21She withheld who your father was. You've never forgiven her. And that has a lot to do with what you're doing in terms of taking it out on other women. He immediately opened his eyes wide with anger. He wanted to kill. He immediately started trashing his cell, throwing things about, and he grabbed the shower rod, which was welded in place. He gripped it from its position, which meant a lot of power. Intellectually, Sheriff Ken Kent Salis was more than a match for Bundy. He managed to go the serial killer into a game-changing revelation. He would taunt me with Ken as he would refer to me with that sarcastic twist of that name, just three letters, but he would say, Ken, and then he would say, the evidence is there. You just can't find it.

35:24And I thought, then, I know what he's referring to. He signed one of those bodies. This was Ken's eureka moment. He used his teeth and clamped hard twice to leave a signature. And I realized we had a very deliberate double bite impression, double meaning he bit down and then he came out. And bit again, that was his signature. Ken Kent Salis was convinced that bite marks left on the bodies of his victims were the smoking gun that would show once and for all that Ted Bundy was indeed America's most vicious serial killer. But to convict Bundy, the sheriff of Leon County needed to prove it. When I viewed the two bodies of the young ladies at the morgue on the slab, just barely 20 years of age,

36:29I had a one-month-old little girl at home and I had a two-year-old daughter at home. And I just kept flashing images that this could be them. I made myself a promise in the morgue. Somebody's going to pay for this. I will find this person. During his regular interactions with Bundy, the sheriff realized that in the Kai Omega sorority house attack, Bundy had left a bite mark on the left buttock of Lisa one of the victims. I was teaching the forensics of homicide investigation and I was teaching the advanced concepts. So I knew that these bites were going to be important. Sheriff Ken Katzari's determined that if you could get an impression of Bundy's bite, he might be able to match it to the marks left on Lisa's body. I needed an exemplar. I needed his teeth marks and that became

37:37I think it consumed me. How can I get them? The prison officers tried some novel techniques to get the clean impression they needed for a comparison. We gave him different kinds of fruit because we weren't sure which one the core would leave the best bite impression. And that inmate said, you're getting fruit? I don't get any fruit. And I think he became suspicious that something was going on with that because he quit eating his fruit. After their fruit tricks failed, the sheriff and his team had a trailblazing brainwave. Then it struck us. It just it hit. What about a search warrant for his mouth? We can just go serve it. That would get the bite impression. Ken decided to take Bundy to his own dentist. I personally went to Ted Bundy's cell and I said, you're coming with me. I told him to put his brace on. I had a special brace developed now called the Bundy brace.

38:42It was spring loaded so that when he would straighten out his leg, you could hear that spring pop in the place. That way he if he tried to run, he'd be running with one stiff leg. I told him to put his brace on. Bundy reluctantly went with Ken to the dentist's office. And I escorted him up to stairway because he couldn't walk it very well with the brace. And then the door opened and there stood three men with little white schmocks on and the dental chair behind them. And he knew he knew the jig was up. He knew and that's when I knew that he knew that the bite marks were deliberate and they were put there for a purpose. Ken told Bundy that he had a warrant and they were going to get a bite impression from him. And I had the judge put in there that we could use any and all force reasonably necessary. I showed him the contraptions that they use post mortem to keep the mouth open and he looked at me.

39:52He sat down in the dental chair, smiled and said, Ken, you know I'm not a violent person. Do what you need to do. The bite mark impression that the sheriff obtained would prove vital in proving that Bundy was in fact a killer. His trial for the murder of the two students in the Kaya Omega sorority house and the assault of three more young women began in Miami on the 25th of June 1979. It would be the first national televised trial in America. Because I haven't had an opportunity to complete my research on the status of Florida law. I was watching the trial on TV and I saw how arrogant he was and he wasn't in shackles. He was dressed pretending to be his own liar dressed like a liar, smiling and flirting with the people in the audience. Just being Mr. Charismatic and that was kind of sickening.

40:59On July the 24th, 1979, the jury convicted Ted Bundy on two counts of first degree murder and three counts of attempted murder. He was given the death sentence twice. The only real evidence we had was the bite impression and obviously I felt good because I found that I was conflicted. Yes, I understood that this was congratulations but it was no congratulations. These women had suffered, some suffered and lived. Thank God, others died. How do you celebrate? Bundy would spend 10 years on death row fighting his execution. Ted Bundy exhausted every legal avenue he possibly could to save himself from the death penalty. So the cost of his trial and his appeals was around about nine million US dollars which was a lot of money at the time. At the sentencing for the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl in Lake

42:01City, Florida, Bundy represented himself. Sensationally, he used the opportunity to propose to Carol. Carol met Bundy in Seattle in 1974. She would profess his innocence until the eve of his execution. She had a daughter in October of 1982 and claimed that Bundy was the father. Serial killers, they are intense, they are moving and they are real and I think some women are excited about that. Some women need that terror, that terror, that excitement, especially if somehow they could be near the flame without being burned by its touch. Over the 10 years that Bundy was on death row, he slowly confessed to 30 documented murders. He has knowledge of murders that he's committed which the authorities don't know about and he's going to use that to his full advantage and he's going to drip feed some of this information out,

43:02bit by bit, in order to try and buy himself some time. As the appeals ran out and as the death sentence neared, a macabre fascination with Bundy grew. Just before his execution we started to see this immense media circus around the event. We started to see radio shows playing the sound of frying bacon on air and they had a Bundy countdown. People had Ted Bundy dances and barbecues. At 716am on January the 24th, 1989, age 42, Ted Bundy was finally executed. Even when he was being walked to the electric chair, he was shouting out names of victims. Right up until the end he's trying to buy himself more time, he's trying to just gradually give away some of this knowledge about his crimes. It's a sad thing from a scientific point of view that he would die without telling us or giving us any hint about whether or not there was something

44:04in his life that we don't know about that helps explain his conduct. I was not really happy but kind of relieved. Normally I don't very often agree with the death penalty but with him it was necessary. So many people were taken in by him. Despite the fact he was leaving with trailer bodies behind him, monsters don't always look like monsters. Sometimes they look like the guy next door. Arguably America's most notorious murderer, Bundy was deceptively depraved. He used his charms to kidnap rape and kill by some estimates up to 100 young women and girls, making Ted Bundy one of the world's most evil killers.
