0:00crime conspiracy Cults serial killers
0:03and murder all the things that I love to
0:05consume and I know you do too I know you
0:07do too you little sick
0:09sick and today I'm going to feed you all
0:12right and today we're talking about
0:13somebody that I'm sure pretty much all
0:16of you know but I'm going to tell you
0:18some things you probably don't know or
0:20I'm going to go into a a lot of detail
0:23in a more fun way than you've seen in
0:25documentaries and in movies and I'm not
0:27going to sugarcoat anything like
0:29Hollywood in that movie so today we're
0:31talking about one of America's most
0:33infamous serial killers nay one of the
0:36world's most infamous serial killers Ted
0:39Bundy he was known to have killed 20
0:41women in the 1970s but admitted to
0:43killing 36 some experts in the field
0:46believe he could have killed up into the
0:48hundreds even but what makes this case
0:51so Infamous is that it is the first
0:53murder trial to be televised nationally
0:56and that this sick Bard had fans he had
0:58a fan club he had like a lot and we'll
1:01get into it just goes to prove that
1:02pretty privilege doesn't stop at that in
1:05high school that was too popular to talk
1:07to you it goes all the way up to
1:08psychotic murderers all right so let's
1:10unbuckle our seat belts go mock five
1:12down the highway in our Brown V du bug
1:15slam on the brakes and dive through this
1:16windshield into this sick together
1:26[Music]
1:35so like we always do we're going to
1:37start from the beginning to little baby
1:39Ted Bundy Theodore Bundy to be exact he
1:42was born in 1946 on November 24th that's
1:45my brother's birthday not the 1946 he's
1:47not I don't have a brother that's
1:48significantly older than my parents that
1:50would be weird anyway he was born on
1:52November 24th 1946 in Burlington Vermont
1:55USA now Ted had a pretty odd upbringing
1:58and not odd as in like your mom keeping
2:00all your teeth that have fallen out in a
2:01drawer and she shows you later when
2:03you're an adult just me all right but
2:05Ted's upbringing was odd because his
2:07entire knowledge of what his family unit
2:09was was essentially a giant lie he
2:12thought his father was somebody he
2:14wasn't and he thought his mother was
2:16somebody she wasn't because they were
2:17actually his grandparents and he
2:19wouldn't learn this until later on in
2:21life so he already has massive trust
2:23issues so Ted would grow up thinking
2:25that his actual mom was his sister and
2:28like I said his grandparents were his
2:30actual parents he was quoted saying to a
2:32co-worker later in life an rule who also
2:34wrote a book that we'll talk about later
2:36saying when I was born my mother
2:38couldn't say that I had I don't know
2:39what he talks like I don't know what he
2:40talks like actually you know what I'm
2:41going to make him sound stupid when I
2:42was born my mother couldn't say that I
2:45was her baby I was born in a home for
2:47unw mothers and when she took me home
2:49she and my grandparents decided to tell
2:51everyone that I was her brother and that
2:53they were my parents so I grew up
2:55believing that she was my sister that I
2:56was a late baby born to my grandparents
2:59yeah that's a good good voice that's a
3:00good voice because people people think
3:01he's like attractive and whatnot and he
3:03sounds attractive I don't think so okay
3:05I'm going to make him sound as ugly as
3:06he is let's continue so at 22 years old
3:10Elanor Lis Cowell gave birth to Theodore
3:14Robert cow which is Ted buddy at the
3:16Elizabeth lond maturity home for unwed
3:18mothers in Burlington Vermont and she
3:20would go on to do just what buddy
3:22claimed to his friend and Rule her
3:24parents would pretend to be Ted's
3:26parents and make him believe that Elanor
3:27was his sister instead of his mother and
3:29Bundy would start displaying pretty
3:31Disturbing Behavior from an early age
3:34which is pretty common for for most
3:35serial killers although he didn't have
3:37that like top three this is definitely a
3:40serial killer thing he didn't light
3:43on fire he didn't wet his bed and he
3:45also didn't hurt animals that we know of
3:47but he did at the age of three approach
3:50his auntie while she was taking a nap
3:52and surrounded her completely inside of
3:55a circle of knives dude what the if a
3:583-year-old did that to me he would stay
4:00three if you know what I mean I'm just
4:02kidding anyway and she would wake up to
4:04him staring blankly and giggling at her
4:07so she was just like what the oh what
4:10the what these knives around me and then
4:12you just hear in the background
4:14like you know what I mean anyway
4:17probably would have solved a lot of
4:18issues but I digress she would go on to
4:20say after Ted Bundy got caught to
4:21interviewers saying not like other
4:23children he looked and acted like them
4:25but he was haunted by something else how
4:28can a 3-year-old be haunt haunted by
4:30something what what they all their
4:31biggest issue is finding a permanent
4:34marker to draw on the wall with or in
4:35this case find knives to put a satanic
4:38circle around you but I I don't know or
4:40you know he was haunted by the fact that
4:41he fantasized about cutting his peers
4:43heads off and Performing horrific acts
4:45on them after the fact but that's just
4:47me but Ted was actually known to be
4:49quiet shy and a stuttering kid and
4:52people would say that he had uh a
4:54general superiority aura about him
4:57thinking he was going to grow up to be
4:59some body incredibly important classic
5:02classic psychotic narcissist just
5:04thinking that that you're better than
5:06everyone else everyone's uh below you
5:08and basically you you don't care what
5:10anybody else thinks that's exactly how
5:13Ted Bundy was he had a superiority
5:15complex like no other and when T became
5:18a teenager he said he didn't really know
5:20how to maintain a proper relationship
5:22and that he just fell out of place in
5:24school but the people he grew up with
5:25said he was a medium fish in a small
5:28pond so he was pretty well-liked because
5:31he was able to put up that mask he was
5:33able to be a chameleon amongst his peers
5:35and this is what he does throughout his
5:37entire life basically he was basically
5:39mimicking people so he would fit in or
5:42studying people or psychology in order
5:44to fit in as well and get his way but
5:46the biggest reason why he was liked in
5:48school specifically was because he was
5:51pretty he was you know a a good-look guy
5:53in some people's eyes I think he's a
5:56disgusting monster but if you didn't
5:57know that he was a serial killer I guess
5:58I get it but he was pretty pretty
5:59standard looking you know he kind of had
6:01a unibrow which loser I don't know I
6:04don't know I can't I'm not going to make
6:05fun of if you have a unibrow good on you
6:07but Ted bunny you're a piece of
6:08anyway in comes the pretty privilege
6:10though so you have this guy that is
6:13narcissistic superiority he's
6:15good-looking and he's very smart um well
6:18read and he's able to talk to anybody in
6:21a room so it's just like this politician
6:24basically but you could see all these
6:26all these factors just just thrown in
6:29our serial killer stew you know we're
6:30mixing up the pot and it's not looking
6:32good and this would also be around the
6:33time that Ted would fixate on something
6:35which was snow skiing and I hate I hate
6:38that he loved snow skiing because that's
6:40something I love and the fact that he
6:41loves it just makes me want it but it's
6:44okay he's dead what do we care anyway
6:46but pretty boy Ted was also kind of a
6:48bad boy in high school getting arrested
6:50twice for suspicion of burglar Burg
6:53burglar burglary burglary burglary sorry
6:58and auto theft which he will do a lot
7:01the auto theft specifically later in
7:03life he was really good at stealing cars
7:04and he used to steal ski equipment and
7:07also Forge ski lift tickets as well
7:09which is you know pretty mild the Grand
7:11Theft Auto is pretty bad but you know
7:13who hasn't Forge a ski lift ski lift
7:15ticket or too am I right I'm just
7:17kidding I've never done that before
7:18don't do that please and in 1967 he
7:20would end up going to the University of
7:22Washington where he met his first and
7:24supposedly only love Stephanie Brooks
7:28now her name wasn't actually Stephanie
7:29Brooks but she goes by that Alias to
7:31protect herself essentially so we're
7:33going to be calling her Stephanie Brooks
7:34so Ted was in love with her as much as
7:36he could be right as much as a
7:39narcissistic psychopath could be I think
7:41he was more like obsessed with the idea
7:43of her because she was beautiful she was
7:46rich and she had an extremely powerful
7:49family in the political space and these
7:51were all things that mattered a lot to
7:52Ted cuz he just wanted to work his way
7:54up the ladder he was willing to step on
7:55people's heads no matter what to make
7:58his way up the ladder and Stephanie
8:00Brooks was one of them and I think he
8:02was under the delusion that uh Obsession
8:06and want was love and and it wasn't Ted
8:09buddy is incapable of love he only loves
8:12one thing and that is himself but
8:13luckily she would dump his ass and he
8:16would unfortunately become even more
8:18obsessed with her cuz when you tell a
8:20narcissist no that just means yes in
8:23their brain or try harder and coming
8:25from somebody that's been with a
8:26narcissist before this is so true it is
8:29so true it's just messed up so he went
8:32on a six-year long game trying to get
8:34Stephanie Brooks back but during this
8:37long game Bundy would meet his better
8:39known other half Elizabeth Kendall if
8:42you've seen the movie extremely Wicked
8:44shockingly evil and vile terrible movie
8:46name I've always hated that movie name
8:47but anyway Elizabeth was the one played
8:49by Lily Collins Ted Bundy Zack Efron's
8:53other half so Bundy and Kendall met in
8:55October 1969 at a bar while they were
8:58both living in SE Seattle she was a
9:0024-year-old divorced single mom working
9:02at the University of Washington where
9:0422-year-old Ted Bundy was attending
9:06school they would soon hit it off and
9:08she would invite Ted Bundy back to her
9:11apartment no no uh luckily she was fine
9:14she felt sick that night and they would
9:16go to bed and apparently they would just
9:18sleep in bed and she would wake up in
9:20the morning and Ted was making his her
9:22her daughter Molly pancakes and
9:24Elizabeth would say in later interviews
9:26I fell in love with him from day one he
9:28took my breath away he probably wanted
9:30to take your breath away but not in the
9:31way that you think all right and he and
9:33he and and he did think about that as
9:35well he uh there was a few times later
9:37down the line when she caught him doing
9:38some pretty sus stuff looking at her
9:40with a flashlight under the blankets
9:42while she was sleeping and also doing
9:43some sus things with Molly later down
9:46the line as well like playing
9:47hideand-seek with her while he was nicod
9:50under a blanket um while aroused we're
9:52just getting into piece of
9:53territory he's already a piece of
9:55but um she would learn all of this a lot
9:58later and kind of put the pieces
9:59together in her head later but we'll get
10:01into that as well so her daughter Molly
10:03would also fall in love with Ted very
10:05quickly as well and immediately after
10:07that first morning they would begin a
10:09pretty serious relationship Bunny's
10:10relationship with Miss Kendall though
10:12was pretty volatile in February 1970
10:15they obtained a marriage license but he
10:17would rip it up a few days later during
10:19a fight so they would never actually get
10:21married ever they just stayed boyfriend
10:23and girlfriend and they were like off
10:24and on all the time it was a very very
10:26toxic relationship as you would assume
10:28with a psychopath AIC narcissistic
10:30serial killing murderer you know and
10:32anyway I digress and 2 years after that
10:34incident she would actually become
10:35pregnant but Ted Bundy would make her
10:38have an abortion because she needed to
10:40work to put him through law school what
10:43a gem what a great guy you know what a
10:46great
10:47fella ah what a piece of anyway but
10:50shortly before that incident he would
10:52get a job at a sler slide hotline Center
10:56in 1971 and this would not only be
10:59incredibly ironic job for a future
11:01serial killer this would be by Design
11:04because Bundy didn't necessarily lack
11:07empathy he was capable of it but he used
11:09it to create pleasure for himself if if
11:12that makes sense like he was smart
11:13enough to know how the other person was
11:15feeling so when you put him in a
11:18situation like this where he has
11:19desperate people on the other line he
11:21felt like he had all control it's all
11:23about control for Ted Bundy and all
11:26about pain like in the times in the
11:28future when he is torturing and
11:29mutilating the girls he was able to
11:32empathize with them and understand how
11:34they felt but he enjoyed that aspect of
11:36it he enjoyed the fact that they were
11:37suffering and was very aware of it and
11:40Anne rule his former co-worker at the
11:42slw slide hotline call center and author
11:44would go on to write a book about
11:46working with the serial killer Ted Bundy
11:49at the time not knowing he was a serial
11:50killer and she would title that book The
11:52Stranger Beside Me and she would go on
11:54to describe what it was like to work
11:56with Bundy in the book and here are some
11:58quotes from it on surface at least it
12:00seemed that I had more problems than Ted
12:02did he was one of those rare people who
12:04listen with full attention who invinc
12:06genuine caring by their very stance you
12:08could tell things to Ted that you might
12:10never tell anyone else cuz he was very
12:12open he was just like sitting there like
12:14this but he was just murdering people in
12:16the back of his brain while he's staring
12:18at you but he's hoping that you think
12:19that he's actually listening and this is
12:21exactly what he did this is exactly how
12:22he did it and she would also go on to
12:24say the only clue I had was that my dog
12:27who liked everyone didn't like Ted at
12:30all whenever he bent over my desk at the
12:32crisis clinic she growled and the
12:33hackles on her neck stood up the lesson
12:35is clear pay attention to your dog
12:37absolutely with ghosts murderers people
12:40that are sus just listen to your dogs
12:42your dogs know if somebody
12:46sucks yeah the book uh is very
12:48interesting I haven't read all of it but
12:50I I've read a lot of it and it is very
12:52good if you want to look at that book
12:54and want to get more in depth cuz I
12:55can't be sitting here for like 8 hours
12:57and telling you about this you get tired
12:58of me but anex explains that working
12:59with Ted was essentially an overall
13:01positive experience and the only reason
13:03Anne didn't end up becoming one of his
13:05victims was because Anne didn't exactly
13:07fit his mo mo meaning modus operandi
13:11which is a Latin phrase for meaning a
13:13person's specific way of doing things in
13:16this case a serial killer picking out
13:19his victims and how he carries that act
13:21out and Ted's victim type looked
13:23incredibly similar to a six-year long
13:26game X Stephanie Brooks coincident I
13:29think not but he also most likely never
13:31killed an because he knew her and Ted
13:33primarily killed strangers pretty much
13:35only killed strangers to remain
13:38undetected because he he was smart I
13:40mean most murders happen to somebody who
13:42you're close with like if I was to get
13:44murdered you know you'd look at you know
13:45my mom my dad Caleb not that any of them
13:48would murder me although they are in my
13:49will if I go missing please don't kid
13:52anyway but he always had a reasoning for
13:54what he was doing he always thought
13:56things through he was he was very much a
13:58process killer and that shows in the
14:02future murders that he committed this
14:04would also be the time when Ted would
14:05enroll in a Psychology major which he
14:08would use later on and utilize in his
14:10criminal Endeavors like I said he's
14:12always thinking about something he
14:13always wants to learn how to manipulate
14:15people better so he can get his way and
14:17it's also around this time in 1972 when
14:20he first gets involved in politics what
14:24oh my God what a psychopathic narcissist
14:27that wants to be a politician I've never
14:29heard of such a thing all of them are
14:31but this would be his only toe dip into
14:33politics though and it would
14:34specifically be for the long game
14:36becoming involved with Governor Dan
14:38Evans reelection campaign Ted would pose
14:41as a college student and Shadow the
14:43opponent of the governor just so he
14:45could get the stump speeches from him
14:47and he would bring them back to Davis
14:49telling him how to beat his opponent so
14:52he literally went undercover and EAS
14:54dropped on the competition for Dan Evans
14:57like he's just a giant piece of I I
14:59feel like that's just all politics so I
15:00just feel like it's all fake it's all
15:01fake and everybody's a piece of I
15:03need to take drink water one
15:05thing and Davis would go on to describe
15:07Bundy as smart aggressive and a believer
15:11in the system he believed in that
15:13system man because it it went in his
15:15favor we'll we'll get to that but godamn
15:18yeah and in 1973 the long game would pay
15:21off and Ted would get back with his
15:23first sweetheart Stephanie Brooks or he
15:26would finally convince her to get back
15:28with him basically and they would even
15:30get engaged soon after and for those of
15:32you who are like wait what happened to
15:34Elizabeth Kendall where is she she's
15:35here they're still dating and Kendall
15:37and Brooks know nothing about each other
15:39because Bundy is just a massive piece of
15:42I don't know how this guy doesn't
15:44get tired I mean he's not killing women
15:46just yet I guess or that we know of but
15:49yeah so he's with both women at this
15:50time but in classic narcissistic fashion
15:53as soon as Stephanie agreed to get
15:55engaged to him Bundy would soon after
15:57just cut off all contact with her he was
16:00the first one to just ghost out of the
16:02he just stopped talking to her
16:04completely which is Bonkers but makes
16:06sense for Ted cuz he's a piece of
16:08as we know but this is this is a classic
16:10narcissist type of behavior and
16:11Psychopathic type of behavior because he
16:13he had a goal he chased it and then as
16:16soon as he got it he just didn't want it
16:18anymore it's like a dog chasing a bone
16:19and then he gets the bone and then he
16:21figures out that there's no meat on the
16:23bone so he just tosses it away did you
16:25like that analogy I I'm pretty good at
16:27those so she would continuously tried to
16:29contact him and she would get a hold of
16:31him one day on the phone and she would
16:33be like what the happened where are
16:34you like what we were we just got
16:36engaged like what's going on and he
16:37would literally just say to her I have
16:39no idea what you mean he's such a
16:42gaslighter dude he's gaslighting me and
16:45he's dead I don't anyway but this is
16:46believed to be the Catalyst to the
16:49beginning of his murder spree which kind
16:51of makes sense so all of his victims
16:53would look significantly like Stephanie
16:55Brooks um and you can kind of look at
16:58that like we don't necessarily know why
17:00there's some serial killers that kill
17:02women that look like their mothers
17:03because they don't like them similar to
17:06Ed keer or or other serial killers that
17:09kill uh women that look like their wives
17:11and in this case uh he was killing women
17:13that look like Stephanie Brooks and also
17:15his current girlfriend Elizabeth Kendall
17:18looked a lot like Stephanie Brooks as
17:20well so he clearly had a type that's
17:22what I'm trying to say yeah a typ so on
17:24January 4th 1974 a woman named Karen
17:28Spark living in the University District
17:30neighborhood of Seattle was attacked in
17:32her home and left for dead the
17:34perpetrator would break into her home as
17:37Karen was sleeping in her bed he would
17:39take a metal pole off of her bed frame
17:41and begin to bash her head in and then
17:44he would continue to use that same pole
17:46to violate her and sa her very violently
17:50he would go so far up that it would
17:52puncture her bladder and after that
17:55event Sparks would be found by her
17:56roommate after 20 hours after the ordeal
17:59still breathing she would suffer
18:01permanent brain damage significant loss
18:03of hearing and vision and obviously the
18:05internal injuries from the sa but she
18:08would survive and she would be assumed
18:10to be Ted Bundy's first victim Karen
18:13would later relay to the police and the
18:15press that she saw Ted Bundy multiple
18:17times stalking her around campus he was
18:20stalking his prey if you will so
18:22although it's not recognized under the
18:24Gaze of the judicial system it is widely
18:26believed that Karen was obviously his
18:28first victim especially you're going to
18:30hear what happened to all the other
18:31victims and it's so incredibly obvious
18:33that it was Ted Bundy that did this and
18:35this would make sense as his first
18:37victim too because it was somewhat
18:38sloppy in the fact that she was still
18:41alive by the end of the assault and it
18:43would happen in the exact same spot as
18:45the other murders would happen and also
18:47in the same time frame everything just
18:49kind of adds up together but the first
18:51official murder victim of Ted Bundy
18:53would be soon after his first attack in
18:551974 only a month after Karen's attack
18:5821-year-old Linda Anne Healey was a
19:01popular student at the University of
19:03Washington the same school that Ted
19:04Bundy went to what and she was also a
19:07weather and ski reporter at a local
19:08radio station as well it's very possible
19:10that Ted uh ran into her because he
19:13loves skiing there's a good chance that
19:14he ran into her liked what he saw and
19:17then you know started stalking her as
19:19well so in February 1974 police would be
19:22called following up on a Miss inperson
19:23call regarding Healey they would find
19:25blood on Healey's bed sheets and pillow
19:28but not enough to indicate that she had
19:29bled to death necessarily and no
19:31indication to where she had gone her
19:33night gown would hang in the closet with
19:35a ring of dried blood around the neck
19:37but some of her clothes her pillowcase
19:39and her backpack were also missing it
19:41seemed that whoever bludgeoned her had
19:43crept into her room knocked her
19:45unconscious removed her pajamas and
19:47dressed her in fresh clothes sounding
19:49similar sounding similar sounding like
19:51something that he wanted to do but
19:53didn't end up getting to do with his
19:54first victim Karen's spk I'm understand
19:56clearly he was taking her to a second
19:58location never go to a second location
20:00with anybody although in this case I
20:02don't think she had a choice and she was
20:04unconscious so but 3 days after her
20:06abduction a male voice called 911 listen
20:09and listen carefully the person who
20:11attacked the girl on the 8th of the last
20:13month and the person who took Linda hey
20:15away are one and the same he was outside
20:18both houses he was seen how
20:20creepy is that like what the what do you
20:23even say to that i' be like what fing
20:25ridle is this what are you what but
20:27police would never get the callers name
20:28so Healey's disappearance was the first
20:30sign for the police that something
20:32sinister was occurring but it would take
20:34them a very long way too long time to
20:37suspect budy and 14 months after her
20:39disappearance her skull and jawbones
20:41were found on Taylor Mountain about an
20:44hour's drive from her home and we'll
20:46hear a lot about Taylor Mountain because
20:48it was one of his favorite places to
20:49drop bodies basically and it was one of
20:52his favorite places to come back to to
20:54violate those bodies but he's not doing
20:55that just yet but thiso would carry on
20:57through a lot of Bundy's Murders At the
20:59beginning he would break in usually at
21:01night often around exam periods so the
21:04girls were very stressed and distracted
21:06and he would often do it uh near or
21:09during construction work sites so if
21:12anybody's screaming or making too much
21:14noise there was construction going on so
21:16it would mask it so he's just he's
21:18thinking about all of the aspects it's
21:20it's very creepy and and and just for
21:23him to go through all that I mean it's
21:26all soing terrible but you can just see
21:29how strategic he was in everything that
21:31he did and in the future he would up the
21:33antee by faking injuries so he could
21:36more easily get girls to help him or
21:38carry stuff inside of his car where he
21:40would then budgeon them and he would
21:41always be sure to wear a turtleneck as
21:43well cuz he would be able to cover a
21:45very identifiable mole on his neck
21:47because besides that mole he had pretty
21:49generic features uh he was goodlooking
21:52but not easily described because like if
21:54you looked at Bundy I don't even know
21:56how like they did end up getting
21:58sketches of him but it's I feel like
21:59it's very hard to describe him cuz he's
22:02just a generic looking mother you know
22:03what I'm saying and during this time he
22:05would still be with Liz and Molly but
22:07Bundy's Behavior began to change in
22:10lizz's eyes he would drop out of her
22:12life mysteriously for several days for
22:14example leaving her to worry that she
22:16had done something wrong then he would
22:18return like nothing happened just a
22:20classic gaslighter dude and anytime she
22:22asked like where were you he was just
22:23like he would just put the blame on her
22:25like what you don't trust me what what
22:28just because I just because I went on a
22:29little road trip for like 7 days and I
22:31was just like out in the forest just
22:32like you know having relations with a
22:34dead body that's a problem for you
22:36you're crazy and she would fear that he
22:38was seeing other women but in fact it
22:40was then that he began his Killing Spree
22:42in Seattle specifically so I guess you
22:45could say he was seeing other women for
22:48temporarily anyway it's just it's
22:50terrible but in March of 1974 only 1
22:53month after Healey's murder Donna Gail
22:56Manson would be his next victim and all
22:58his victims up to this point and in the
23:00future would be killed 1 month apart or
23:02less moving forward so he was escalating
23:05pretty rapidly through this year
23:06specifically Donna Gail Manson was a
23:0819-year-old student at Evergreen State
23:11College south of Seattle and she would
23:13disappear on her way to a Campus concert
23:15her body was never technically found but
23:17Bundy later claimed he burned her skull
23:20in the fireplace of his girlfriend
23:22Elizabeth Kendall Bundy would later say
23:25in interviews of all the things I did to
23:27Liz this is probably the one she is
23:29least likely to forgive me for yeah yeah
23:31no dude and it was around this time
23:33that Bundy would have the audacity to
23:36start working at the Washington State
23:38Department emergency services
23:39essentially a place where missing people
23:41would be reported to so he could
23:43basically keep tabs on all things
23:45happening during the abductions and
23:47murders that he was committing himself
23:49which again it's just like it's very
23:51smart it's very smart and I'm not giving
23:53him any accolades I'm just saying like
23:55he just he really knows where to place
23:58himself and who to know but it was
23:59around this time also that he would
24:01start to be described and reported by
24:03multiple people so he would hear if
24:05someone was describing a man in a
24:07turtleneck or a man with crutches was
24:10last seen with this missing woman and
24:12just adjust accordingly and he would
24:14even start introducing as an officer to
24:16young women calling himself officer Ted
24:19Rosland that is soing cringe you're
24:22using see this is the what this is what
24:24I don't understand he's so smart and
24:25everything and then he uses his own
24:27first name and I think was just purely
24:29out of just him thinking that he was
24:31smarter and better than everyone like
24:33he's like I can use my first name and
24:35still not get caught like it has to be
24:37that because other than that like he's a
24:38smart guy I don't understand why he
24:40would use his first name like this guy
24:42he was playing ultimate improv I think
24:44he literally thinks that the the world
24:46is just his play place and he could do
24:48whatever he wanted and test out whatever
24:50he wanted he was so insanely creative
24:53and manipulative with his tactics you
24:55you can't remotely blame any of the
24:57victims for falling for his ACT not that
25:00would that I would ever blame any of the
25:01victims for this his act was so good and
25:04then on top of the fact that he's
25:05good-looking and that he's charming and
25:06that he's well read and that he he looks
25:08clean and cut and all all that stuff is
25:10is just very important factors and his
25:12next victim would fall for his injury
25:14act in April 1974 18-year-old Susan
25:18elain rainc Court would be doing laundry
25:21on her college campus in central
25:23Washington State and while doing laundry
25:25she would up and disappear there would
25:26be a massive search done and there would
25:28be no results only later on would there
25:31be evidence that mounted that rain Court
25:33was one of Ted Bundy's victims and other
25:35students that were on campus would
25:37recall that rain Court had been
25:39approached by a man named Ted who had
25:42his arm in a sling so like again like
25:44you're using your own name are you I
25:46mean I'm glad you're stupid I'm glad
25:47you're stupid but this would be when he
25:49started to Fain injuries so if a man in
25:51a sling comes up to you asking for help
25:53just say F you and the next month in May
25:56Roberta Kathleen pared would disappear
25:59on her campus at Oregon State University
26:01Bundy would sa her and murder her either
26:04in Oregon or in Washington we're not
26:06sure but investigators would later find
26:08her skull on the same Mountain as many
26:11of the others on Taylor mountain in
26:13Washington now after Bundy's last victim
26:15Roberta he would start to evolve and not
26:19in a good way at first he was saing them
26:22and then killing and disposing of them
26:24and then just leaving them to decompose
26:26on their own but he would start to dip
26:28his toe
26:30into just when you think it can't get
26:33any worse and in June Bundy would claim
26:35two more victims only 10 days apart this
26:38time on June 1st 1974 he would abduct
26:4222-year-old Brenda ball in the town of
26:44buan Seattle pretending to be
26:46handicapped and asking for help
26:48Witnesses would say that they saw her
26:50with a man that was also wearing a sling
26:52before she disappeared her skull would
26:54also be found eventually with all the
26:56others on Taylor mountain in Washington
26:58as as well and on June 11th 1974 so this
27:01is only 10 days later 18-year-old
27:03georganne Hawkins vanished outside the
27:06University of Washington with Witnesses
27:08saying they last saw her with a man that
27:10was fitted with crutches and struggling
27:13with a briefcase outside of a brown VW
27:16Bug Jordan would be knocked unconscious
27:18and then to death and this would be his
27:21first reported victim of so what he
27:24would do H with the women when he was
27:27committing is essentially he would essay
27:29them murder them and then uh drop them
27:31off at their burial point and usually
27:34just leave them in like covered up or in
27:36some sort of shallow grave and then he
27:37would just periodically keep coming back
27:40to that body to do vile things to it up
27:43until the point that their decomposition
27:45just made it not possible to do so
27:48anymore or to the point where he just
27:50thought they were gross and no longer
27:53hot enough they were I don't either way
27:55he just became more and more of a sick
27:58basically so Ted Bundy had killed six
28:01women that we know of before he started
28:04committing filia to his future victims
28:07but this would be something he would do
28:08to all the rest of them essentially at
28:10least that's what we assume based off of
28:12evidence and Bundy would begin to grow
28:14Bolder with his abductions in July
28:16abducting two victims in just one day so
28:19in broad daylight on July 14th 1974 at
28:23Lake samamish State Park in isqua sorry
28:25if I said that wrong about a 20-minute
28:27drive from SE Seattle Witnesses reported
28:29a man with his left arm in a sling had
28:32approached several women that day
28:34introducing himself as Ted you're I just
28:37I I anyway and asked for help rigging
28:41his sailboat to his car one woman
28:43initially would oblig but grew hesitant
28:45as she approached his brown Volkswagen
28:47Beetle with no sailboat in sight red
28:50flags red flags luckily this girl saw
28:53the red flags after Ted would say to her
28:55oh I forgot to tell you it's at my folks
28:58house just to jump up the hill he said
29:00in a British accent so now he's masking
29:02his accent with a British accent which
29:04again is just another layer to this
29:06because if they're looking for a British
29:07guy they're like oh it can't be Ted
29:08bunny right but she saw right through
29:10that and sheing booked it dude
29:12after he motioned to the passenger door
29:14to get in she did she just bolted but a
29:17little while later she saw another woman
29:19walking beside Ted towards the parking
29:21lot where his car and sailboat was and
29:23they were deep in conversation this
29:25woman was Janice an A and she would be
29:28abducted that day unfortunately and 4
29:31hours later Denise Marie nasland would
29:34endure the same fate and their bodies
29:37would be found months later but their
29:39killer was unknown at the time but years
29:41later Bundy told investigators that a
29:44was still alive when he kidnapped
29:46nasland he claimed that one was forced
29:48to watch the other get murdered before
29:50she was which is just soed up and
29:53terrible uh it would just be so
29:55horrifying I just feel bad for all of
29:57these these women and like they just
30:00didn't know they just didn't know just
30:01like always have your guard up that's
30:03like half the reason why I make these
30:04videos is just to just let people know I
30:06mean I know this is the 70s and stuff
30:08and it was a different time but my god
30:10dude it is still so prevalent especially
30:12with like the you know seual trade and
30:14all that kind of stuff this is how they
30:15they get people like it's nice to help
30:17people but also just have your guard up
30:19have your guard up please but the woman
30:20who escaped that day that also witness
30:23Bundy take the other girls had had an
30:25interaction with them so she had a
30:27pretty good description to tell the
30:29police and lo and behold the idiot said
30:31that his name was Ted and she would
30:33describe him as having Sandy blond hair
30:36being 510 and about 160 lb and he had a
30:40brown VW Bug so they commissioned a
30:43sketch of the suspect finally and like I
30:45think that's a pretty good sketch like I
30:47don't even know like I I don't even
30:48understand how people describe people
30:49like I guess you would describe them as
30:51like having like a sharp nose and
30:54like Shaggy is hair I mean it kind of
30:57looked like him right and people
30:58recognized that it looked like him too
31:00and they were saying like w so weird Ted
31:02doesn't that look like you he's like
31:03yeah but I mean like I mean the eyes are
31:05all weird I mean they got the unibrow
31:07but I don't uh oh so it is you no no no
31:09no no no no no no no I'm much better
31:11looking than that like I don't know he's
31:12a pretty looking guy it is me it's me
31:14but the police had no idea how close
31:17they were to actually catching Ted Bundy
31:19at this time because he worked on
31:20Seattle's s slide hotline and the
31:23Seattle Police Department even nominated
31:25him to be the director of the Seattle
31:28crime prevention advisory committee at
31:30the time he was just sitting right there
31:32but the police like couldn't put two and
31:33two together because that's just police
31:35and the 60s and 70s and 80s because they
31:37can't they can't do their job it's it's
31:40easy in hindsight to say that they suck
31:42anyway and his colleague at the SL slide
31:44hotline Center and Rule even reported
31:47her suspicion about Bundy to the police
31:49after seeing the sketch so she's the one
31:51that's just like Ted Ted that um that
31:54looks just slack you doesn't it it's um
31:56it's a bit uncanny actually don't you
31:58have a VW a brown VW Bug yeah that's um
32:01that's that's it's crazy that's crazy
32:03stop barking stop barking Nala Stop
32:06Parking I don't know why she does that
32:07it's really come get this guy he's a
32:10murderer and they're just like he's
32:11goodlooking like he can't have done it
32:13like that's literally why the cops
32:15didn't didn't do anything is because he
32:18was a cleancut well-educated guy they
32:20were just like he couldn't have done it
32:21you know that's crazy talk that's and
32:23you're a woman so nothing correct comes
32:25out of your mouth all right this is the'
32:2770s you just were able to vote like 20
32:29years ago yeah you need to shut the up
32:31all right know your place and even his
32:32devoted girlfriend at the time Liz
32:34Kendall contacted the police on three
32:37occasions to suggest that they might be
32:39looking for her boyfriend but she was
32:42rebuffed each time so she was made to
32:44feel like she was the idiot for even
32:46thinking that so she would eventually
32:47just think that she was the idiot for
32:49thinking that and stay with him and
32:51convinced that she wasn't being taken
32:52seriously because she was a woman
32:54classic she asked her father to talk to
32:56the police instead but he refused
32:59warning her that it would ruin Bundy's
33:01career and reputation if she was wrong
33:04which she wasn't but she would say about
33:07her father that he so liked Ted as we
33:09all did she says I feel in hindsight he
33:12chose Ted over his daughter and that is
33:14so sad dude it's so so sad but this guy
33:17was just a master of manipulation and
33:20six more people would even call and
33:22confirm that they thought it might be
33:24Ted Bundy based off of the description
33:26and the sketch but the police would say
33:28no there's no way that a clean cut law
33:31student with no record could ever be a
33:32serial killer are you stupid but also to
33:35give them a bit of the benefit of the
33:36doubt the police that is they were
33:38getting about 200 tips a day regarding
33:40this case so although unfortunate at
33:43this time it did kind of make sense that
33:45they didn't nail him down as a number
33:48one suspect at this point but to not
33:49even investigate him at all is Bonkers
33:53to me so as the net started to close on
33:56Bundy more and more and he started to
33:57feel the pressure around him he knew he
34:00had to get the out of Dodge so he up and
34:03left to Salt Lake City Utah to
34:06conveniently go to law school he would
34:08also get baptized in the Church of Jesus
34:10Christ of the Latter Day Saints can't
34:12wash those sins away sunny but he would
34:14mostly just do it purely for image just
34:16to to make it look good you know how
34:18could you be a serial killer if you get
34:20baptized I don't know but you can and
34:22the baptism was made in vain because he
34:25would just end up killing people anyway
34:26almost immediately after getting to Utah
34:29but Bundy would temporarily try to
34:32deescalate his murders or to not murder
34:36to deescalate his to deescalate his
34:39crimes if you will he'd tell himself
34:41okay buddy we're going to pick her up
34:43all right we're just going to go pick
34:44her up okay and just you know ripe her
34:48and then and then we're just going to
34:49drop her off all right buddy you got
34:51this you got this you're smart guy you
34:53you have control over your impulses
34:54you're not going to murderer all right
34:56and then he would just he would just uh
34:57end up end uping and killing them anyway
35:00so good try though and those first few
35:01women being Nancy Willcox who was
35:04abducted in October 1974 and Melissa
35:07Anne Smith and Laura an Amy and they'd
35:10all be found in the mountains in Utah
35:13soon after having been defiled after
35:15death multiple times up until the point
35:18of unrecognizable decomposition but
35:20there would be another Survivor though
35:22and her name was Rhonda Stapley she
35:25would be waiting for the bus when Bundy
35:27would offer her a ride in his brown VW
35:29Bug he would then take her to Cottonwood
35:31Canyon where he would sa her and strle
35:34her multiple times over and over but the
35:37reason she was able to escape was
35:38because Bundy looked away from her for
35:40only a few seconds and she would just
35:42absolutely bolt out of there but
35:44unfortunately she was afraid of being
35:46blamed and ridiculed for the event so
35:49she would keep this from her family her
35:51friends and obviously the media and
35:53police for over 40 years until she
35:56finally revealed it and appeared on
35:58multiple media interviews recounting the
36:00incident the last thing that I remember
36:02was uh coming to after being unconscious
36:06he had moved several feet away and it
36:07turned his back on me and I was able to
36:09run my pants were wadded up around my
36:12ankles and I tripped and fell into a
36:15fast moving mountain river that swept me
36:17away from my attacker and saved my life
36:20so while this is all happening Liz
36:22Kendall is just sitting at home with
36:24Molly fully oblivious to what's going on
36:26in Utah but they're still together Ted
36:28and Liz are technically still together
36:31she did have her suspicions though at
36:33the time because Bundy's behaviors were
36:35getting increasingly more and more
36:37strange if you will particularly noting
36:39his late night absences and strange
36:42items found that he could not explain
36:44such as medical supplies and women's
36:47clothing that did not belong to her
36:49pretty sus but despite these doubts she
36:52did not connect him to the murders until
36:54much later and I feel like that was
36:55mostly because there were people in her
36:57just saying that he he couldn't have
36:59done this because he is who he is he's
37:01you know he's successful uh with with
37:04his law school and politics and he's
37:06cleancut and he's well educated and he's
37:08good-looking and he could never be
37:10capable of doing that so she was just
37:12kind of brainwashed through this whole
37:13process up until the trials really but
37:15we'll get into that but November 8th
37:181974 would prove to be crucial for the
37:21eventual capture and conviction of Bundy
37:24first posing as a police officer named
37:26Rosland Ted Rosland Bundy approached
37:29Carol Donan at the Fashion Place Mall in
37:32Murray Utah he told the 18-year-old girl
37:35that her car was broken into and she
37:37needed to go to the police station this
37:39is like one that it's just kind of like
37:42really you you didn't question that at
37:44all I mean she was probably just so nice
37:46and just trusted everyone but he
37:48literally told her a stranger that hey I
37:51think your car was broken into I need to
37:53take you to the police station and she's
37:55just like okay like it's just like the
37:59red flags just like just think about it
38:00please for anybody watching right now
38:02and for some reason that happens to you
38:04for him to know that it was your car
38:06means that he was stalking you right
38:08anyway I digress but she trusted his
38:10story and Duran willingly got into his
38:12car but she quickly noticed that
38:14something was wrong they didn't drive
38:16towards the police station and Bundy's
38:18friendly demeanor quickly shifted into a
38:21cold absence when she asked him what he
38:23was doing he just didn't answer which is
38:25just I that would be so terrifying just
38:27like for him to just coldly be driving
38:29and you're just like slowly freaking out
38:31realizing what happened like I just I
38:33just can't imagine and although he
38:35managed to force her wrists into a pair
38:37of handcuffs and he threatened her with
38:39a gun deran broke out of the car and ran
38:42for her life thank God and she would
38:45find Refuge with a couple driving nearby
38:47who brought the distraught Donan to the
38:49police station but she couldn't find
38:51rosin's officer Ted rosin's face on any
38:55of the books of their mug shots because
38:56at this point Ted hadn't been officially
38:59arrested for anything like he had those
39:01little arrests when he was a kid but he
39:03never got uh charged for anything so he
39:05wasn't actually on the books for
39:06anything and only a few hours later this
39:08guy doesn't stop he would
39:10approach a 17-year-old by the name of
39:12Debbie Kent after a performance of a
39:14high school play in Bountiful Utah and
39:17he would succeed in abducting this young
39:20girl but despite killing and kidnapping
39:22Kent Bundy left behind a clue in the
39:25parking lot a key that match the
39:27handcuffs that Donan escaped with
39:30earlier that day and he would be stopped
39:32by the highway patrol later that day and
39:35they'd find essentially a ripe kit and a
39:39murder kit in the back of his vdub they
39:41would find a ski mask another mask made
39:44from panty hose a crowbar handcuffs
39:47trash bag rope ice pick and other items
39:50that were heavily suspicious so the
39:53police would take him in and although
39:55the police were not able to connect
39:57Bundy to Kent and other similar
39:59kidnappings deran would play a central
40:01role in Bundy's 1976 conviction when her
40:05testimony identified him as the man who
40:07kidnapped and yeah Duran you made up for
40:10being stupid in the beginning because
40:12you didn't I'm glad you didn't die and
40:14that you and that you did that good job
40:15and he would be sentenced to prison in
40:17Utah for a minimum of 1 to 15 years what
40:22kind of Gap is that that's that's in one
40:25year for kidnapping in a assaulting
40:27somebody I it's crazy to me and it's so
40:30obvious that he did more because of his
40:32ripen kit in the back of his car but
40:35anyway so now Ted is in jail for the
40:38first time but this is also the time
40:40when he would be extradited to Colorado
40:43where he was being charged with the
40:44murder of Karen Campbell and this is
40:46where Ted gets tricky and slippery dude
40:49this guy doesn't like to stay behind
40:52bars so before Ted had used a public
40:55defender in the case of Donan but once
40:58he got extradited to Colorado he decided
41:01he's too smart for everybody and that he
41:03would just act as his own defense
41:04Council which I mean he kind of was
41:07really smart I'm I'm going to like he
41:09was obviously very smart and especially
41:11in this case because if you represent
41:13yourself in court at the time even being
41:16a prisoner already you are allowed to
41:18use the library to study law books and
41:21you're allowed to do so without
41:23handcuffs and Ted was very privy to this
41:25so on June 7th 19 77 Bundy would escape
41:29from the Pitkin County Courthouse Law
41:31Library by jumping from the Second Story
41:34window while on recess during the
41:36preliminary hearing he would twist his
41:38ankle ironically because he always acted
41:40like he was injured and then he actually
41:41twisted his ankle so you Ted Bundy and
41:43then he would get up and just run into
41:46the forest of Colorado evading police
41:48Bundy jumped out of this second story
41:50window at the front of the Pitkin County
41:52Courthouse this morning he was scheduled
41:54for a court appearance and apparently
41:55had been locked into the lawline Library
41:57by sheriff's deputies Witnesses say he
41:59left in a hurry however nobody saw him
42:01open the window and he escaped clean in
42:03an unknown Direction and he would be out
42:05there for 6 days breaking into cabins
42:07and stealing food and water he would
42:09also steal a car cuz he loves stealing
42:11cars and he would try to make his way
42:12out of Colorado but he would be aing
42:15dumbass and be driving erratically and
42:18be pulled over and then recaptured again
42:21only 6 days later after his escape and
42:24what's kind of funny and awesome is the
42:26fact that he was most likely going to
42:28get off for this murder charge that he
42:31was currently on trial for and that he
42:33escaped from because all the evidence in
42:35that trial was completely circumstantial
42:38and DNA testing wasn't a thing yet so
42:41they had nothing on him basically so he
42:42was pretty much in the clear at this
42:45point so him escaping was essentially
42:47the nail in the coffin so he would be
42:49put in jail again but this mother
42:52slippery decided to break out of
42:54jail again or at least try to and it's
42:56also important to note that it was at
42:58this time that he already started to
43:00gain Traction in the media and women
43:02were starting to Fawn and Fang girl over
43:05this psychopath so while in jail Bundy
43:08would acquire a hacksaw from another
43:10inmate that had toing hurt if you know
43:12what I mean and he would obtain $500
43:15that was sent into him from fans from
43:18around the country mostly women and he
43:20would start to hacked and saw a one
43:22square foot hole Andy defrain style
43:25shout out to sha Shank Redemption one of
43:26my favorite movies into the corner of
43:28the cell ceiling every night during
43:31shower time when all the cellmates would
43:33be showering he would just be and
43:35hacking away at this hole in the ceiling
43:36I don't know what he covered it with
43:38though I feel like it'd be pretty
43:39obvious to see if you were a um guard or
43:41something but I guess not during this
43:42time he would also lose 35 lb in order
43:46to fit through this hole so if this guy
43:48was committed to actually de escalating
43:50as much as he was to losing weight we
43:52would have a much different story now
43:54but I digress so Ted would lose the
43:56weight and dig the hole and he would
43:58even do practice runs during this time
44:00to see if he could get away with it and
44:02if there was any other factors that he
44:04had to take into account during his
44:06escape again very smart so once he built
44:08up the confidence to do the deed on
44:11December 30th 1977 he would make another
44:14escape attempt he would crawl into his
44:16hole and he would pop out into the
44:19Jail's crawl space break through the
44:21ceiling into the apartment of the chief
44:23Jailer who was conveniently out with his
44:26girlfriend at the time and he would walk
44:28out the door to freedom from there he
44:30would steal a car and make his way to
44:32Chicago where he would go for a pit stop
44:34and then make his way to Tallahassee
44:37Florida a place where nobody wants to go
44:39except for Ted budy I'm just kidding I'm
44:41just kidding and this is where he would
44:43continue his heinous crimes in an even
44:46more brutal fashion and in the meantime
44:48Liz was just grappling with the fact
44:50that everyone in their dog were saying
44:52he's a murderer now you know cuz she was
44:56just giving him the benefit of the doubt
44:57and everybody that was saying that he
44:59wasn't one is saying that he is one
45:01besides her dad he her dad really really
45:03liked him so she was just in the state
45:05of denial but was socially being forced
45:07to distance herself from him so at this
45:09point she is she is now distancing
45:11herself cuz she knows that he escaped
45:13from jail which just makes you look
45:15guilty to be honest and she doesn't want
45:17to be a part of that at all but so Bundy
45:20now feeling like an Untouchable God at
45:22this point decided to go on an
45:24absolutely horrific spree starting at
45:27Omega house slaughterings in Florida so
45:30on January 15th
45:321978 in the early hours Ted would enter
45:35the Omega house at Florida State
45:37University in Tallahassee and within
45:40approximately only 15 minutes Bundy
45:43brutally attacked four sleeping women
45:46Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy were
45:48murdered Bowman was strangled with a
45:50nylon stocking and Levy suffered severe
45:52beatings and a bite mark on her body
45:55which later played a very crucial role
45:57in Bundy's conviction the two other
45:59women Karen Chandler and Kathy Kleiner
46:01survived the attacks despite their
46:03serious injuries and Bundy's Rampage
46:05would continue that night after he
46:08brutally attacked Four Women he would go
46:10on to attack Cheryl Thomas as well who
46:13lived nearby he was an absolute animal
46:16he was an insatiable monster at this
46:19point and he wouldn't be done just yet
46:21after he murdered those two women and
46:23Cheryl Thomas Ted Bundy would have about
46:25a month of a cool down period to lay low
46:28and he would break that cooling period
46:30by going to a junior high school in Lake
46:32City Florida on February 9th 1978 a 10
46:36buddy would call over 12-year-old
46:38Kimberly leech to help him with
46:40directions but soon after he would
46:42kidnap her Bundy would then and murder
46:45the 12-year-old girl piece of I
46:47want to kill him I hope he's burning in
46:49hell I hate him so much and Kimberly's
46:51body was later discovered at Swani River
46:54State Park badly decomposed and this
46:57crime would be Bundy's last known murder
47:00before his final arrest in Pensacola
47:03later that month and he would get caught
47:05for the same he got caught for
47:07before this guy isn't as smart as we
47:09thought I guess thank God so on February
47:1115th 1978 in Pensacola Florida
47:1431-year-old Bundy was driving a stolen
47:17orange Volkswagen Beetle this guy loved
47:19Beatles And I don't know why he looks
47:21like a loser in the I feel like only
47:2316-year-old girls drive that kind of car
47:25but anyway he caught the attention of
47:27Pensacola police officer David Lee for
47:30having a stolen vehicle and for also
47:31driving erratically so David would pull
47:34Bundy over and when challenged Bundy
47:36initially provided a stolen
47:38identification but he was recognized by
47:40the officer during the arrest process so
47:43Bundy would then attempt to run but very
47:45quickly be subdued and arrested go David
47:48Lee and shortly after being arrested for
47:50the third and final time Bundy would be
47:52charged for the Mega murders due to the
47:55forensic evidence being found
47:57which was a dental impression of teds
48:00that matched the bite marks inflicted
48:02upon Lisa Levy and due to the witnesses
48:04placing him in that area at the time of
48:06the murders as well so everything's
48:08coming together finally everything's
48:09coming together the pot is full and now
48:11we're just dop in that over so now
48:13at this point Liz is pretty much
48:16completely cutting off Ted Bundy she's
48:18she's she has distanced herself from him
48:21and he he doesn't really care I mean he
48:23doesn't really care about anything but
48:25soon after Liz would go a woman named
48:28Carol Anne Boon would come into the
48:30picture a woman that he knew back in
48:321974 working with her and she was just
48:36obsessed with Ted so she was by his side
48:39through this next entire trial period
48:43and for years after he got convicted as
48:45well this is a psychopath she looks like
48:47a psychopath dude so in June
48:491979 Ted Bundy would be the first trial
48:53to be televised nationally Mr Bundy yes
48:56wants to talk to you man come up to the
48:58bar here this court is not going to
49:00follow your schedule the beginning of
49:02Ted Bundy's trial for the Chi Omega
49:04murders was a spectacle largely because
49:07Bundy chose to serve as his own defense
49:09attorney again having a legal background
49:12and having been a law student and bolded
49:14him to make the unusual decision cuz it
49:16was not common at all to do this
49:18especially in a murder trial so it was
49:20like a movie playing itself basically
49:23for people watching this
49:24self-representation was highly
49:26unorthodox and very risky for Ted
49:28contributing to the media circus
49:30surrounding the trial and his
49:32interactions with the judge and
49:33prosecution were often contentious and
49:37his direct involvement in the
49:38proceedings such as cross-examining
49:40Witnesses added a dramatic and
49:42unsettling layer to the trial attracting
49:44public and media interest even further
49:47and just watching him throughout the
49:48trials cuz I watched a lot leading up to
49:50this he's just like so overly confident
49:53and smiling and laughing and just
49:55talking down to people he's just like
49:57just a grade aing narcissistic
50:00psychopath and it just makes me mad
50:02watching him and he would talk about
50:04himself in the third person and it was
50:06it was just very strange but also I
50:08could see why people were so intrigued
50:11by this trial I mean I know I would have
50:13been like watching it I wouldn't have
50:14been one of his fans or anything but I
50:16think I think it was extremely
50:17interesting to watch at the time and
50:19during the middle stage of Ted Bundy's
50:21trial the prosecution's presentation of
50:23the forensic evidence was pivotal one of
50:26the most significant pieces of the
50:27evidence was the bite mark analysis
50:30experts testified that the bite marks
50:32found on Lisa Levy's body was
50:34conclusively matched Bundy's teeth and
50:36he has a dub teeth dude it's like it's
50:39like so obvious and the way he tried to
50:41like talk his way out of it was like
50:42almost embarrassing when you were
50:44arrested on February 15th 1978 in
50:47Pensacola did you have a chip in your
50:49right front tooth no I did not when did
50:51your tooth become
50:53chipped in the best as I can recall it
50:56been the middle middle part of March of
50:5878 this testimony became a critical
51:01component of the case offering direct
51:03physical evidence linking Bundy to the
51:05crime which is basically best case
51:06scenario Additionally the emotional
51:08testimonies of the survivors added a
51:10profound human element to the
51:12proceedings as well for the jury
51:14including Kathy Kleiner and Karen
51:16Chandler both who survived the brutal
51:18assaults in the Omega sority house
51:20vividly recounting the terror and
51:22attacks and strengthening the
51:24prosecution's case against Bundy so
51:26these elements combined made this phase
51:29of the trial both gripping and crucial
51:31in the move towards Bundy's conviction
51:33and Bundy would exhibit a range of
51:35behaviors that were often seen as
51:38audacious and unsettling by people
51:40watching taking on the role of his own
51:42attorney he displayed a disturbing level
51:44of confidence and charm that was in
51:47congruent with the seriousness of the
51:48charges against him so when I was saying
51:50like he's laughing and and being just so
51:53ostentatious and just like just a prick
51:56basically he was just so L fair about
51:58the whole thing and this included
52:00cross-examining Witnesses and sometimes
52:02directly interacting with the victim's
52:04families as well which many found
52:06disturbing and extremely disrespectful
52:08obviously and the public reaction to
52:10Bundy during the trial was mixed some
52:13viewers were horrified by the details of
52:15the crimes and his apparent lack of
52:17remorse While others were strangely
52:19fascinated by his Charisma and
52:21intelligence cuz he quite literally had
52:24super fans during this trial the these
52:26fans being predominantly women because
52:28we're crazy sometimes let's be real
52:30often filled the courtrooms some even
52:33mimicking Bundy's hairstyle and dress
52:35this unusual fan base would add a
52:38surreal aspect to the proceedings as
52:40they often expressed support for Bundy
52:43and he would almost like show off for
52:45them in interviews and and anytime he
52:47was in the public eye 78204 Florida
52:49statute I'll plead not guilty right now
52:51and your grand jurs being pres in side
52:53Court further gives the court to be
52:54informed and understand that Theodore
52:56Robert on the 15th day of January in Le
52:58County Florida did then and there
53:00unlawfully attempt to kill a human being
53:02to W C Karen Chandler by beating her
53:04about the head and knowingly or
53:05intentionally causing great bodily harm
53:07and said attempt was perpetrated by said
53:09Theodore Robert Bundy from or with a
53:11premeditated design or intent to affect
53:13the death of said Karen Chandler and
53:15this would complicate The public's
53:16perception of him as a charismatic yet
53:19brutal murderer the presence of these
53:21fans highlighted the complex and often
53:23conflicting responses to Buddy's person
53:26this Duality contributed to the media
53:29frenzy making this trial a landmark in
53:31public interest and television
53:33broadcasting and also influencing how
53:35future criminal trials would be covered
53:38cuz there's just obvious bias being
53:40being made by televising this and you
53:43can kind of see that also in like the
53:45Johnny Depp and Amber herd trials like
53:47there's it's just it's impossible not to
53:48have a bias when you're watching it
53:50right in front of you and and favor one
53:52over the other based off of other
53:53people's opinions and based off of what
53:55you're seeing not even just just the
53:56evidence and Bundy I mean he didn't
53:58really have a defense it would all
54:00center around questioning the
54:02reliability of the scientific validity
54:05of the forensic evidence presented
54:07against him particularly the bitemark
54:09evidence he also attempted to undermine
54:11The credibility of witnesses and their
54:14testimonies and suggested that the
54:16investigation itself was biased against
54:18him due to his prior criminal charges
54:20and this approach was just seen as
54:22audacious and was ultimately
54:24unsuccessful because at the end of Ted
54:26Bundy trial for the Omega murders the
54:28jury deliberated for under 7 hours which
54:31sounds like a long time but it's that's
54:33pretty that's a pretty good time that's
54:34pretty quick indicating the compelling
54:36nature of the evidence presented Bundy
54:38would be found guilty of the murders of
54:41Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy as well as
54:43the assaults of three other women
54:45following the verdict the court would
54:47sentence him to death yeah dude cute
54:50dude you I hope you're burning in Hell a
54:51judge in Miami today followed the jury's
54:54recommendation and sentenced Theodore
54:55Bundy to die in the electric chair for
54:57the murder of two co-eds Bundy is the
54:59136th person under death sentence in
55:02Florida and judge Edward cart made
55:05remarks that were noted for their
55:07unusual tone of personal reflection he
55:10commented on the tragedy of Bundy's
55:13crimes given Bundy's intelligence and
55:16potential to contribute positively to
55:19society it was just like a is a weird
55:21tone it was just like oh man that's a
55:24shame cuz you're awesome you're you
55:25killed those people but you're pretty
55:27great you know this is exactly what he
55:29said it's a tragedy for this court to
55:32see such a total waste I think of
55:35humanity that I've experienced in this
55:37court you're a bright young
55:39man you made a good lawyer I'd love to
55:41had you practice in front of me but you
55:43went another way partner he's literally
55:45saying like you're you're pretty good
55:47dude and I I don't give a that you
55:49killed all those women them honestly you
55:51know I do it too behind the scenes um
55:53I'm just kidding that's that's false but
55:55uh but was just strange it just goes to
55:58show how how incredibly charismatic and
56:00manipulative and smart he actually was
56:03cuz he was able to manipulate a whole
56:05ass judge dude this guy murdered
56:08multiple women and got a guilty verdict
56:10for it and this guy's just
56:12saying you're all right but after his
56:15sentencing of the Omega murders he would
56:17be put on trial again for the murder of
56:1912 year-old Kimberly leech in 1980 Bundy
56:23was tried for the kidnapping and murder
56:25of and the trial would be particularly
56:28emotional due to the young age of the
56:30victim and to the brutal nature of the
56:32crime and Bundy was found guilty again
56:34and received another death sentence
56:36double homicide man it's not
56:39looking good for you and Ted Bundy being
56:41the tenacious narcissistic psychopath
56:43that he was continuously filed for
56:46appeals challenging everything from
56:48forensic evidence to used in Trials to
56:51the competency of the jury but all his
56:53appeals were ultimately denied and
56:57during Ted Bundy's trial in Florida
56:59after he was sentenced his romantic life
57:01included a significant relationship with
57:03whom I mentioned before Carol Anne Boon
57:06and Boon believed in Bundy's innocence
57:09and moved to Florida to be closer to him
57:11during his trials and in a dramatic turn
57:14during his 1980 trial for the murder of
57:17Kimberly leech the 12-year-old girl
57:19Bundy would propose to Boon in the
57:22courtroom while she was testifying on
57:24his behalf what a giant
57:26piece of smelly goddamn dude and
57:30the proposal was legally recognized
57:32under Florida law which stated that
57:34marriage declaration in court in front
57:36of a judge constituted a legal marriage
57:38so this guy like found a loophole and
57:40just devalued the whole trial of
57:43Kimberly it's just disgusting and Boon
57:45would become pregnant and gave birth to
57:48a daughter soon after as well I guess he
57:50got conjugal visits I don't know and her
57:52name would be Rose and this would be in
57:541982 and she would claim that was Bundy
57:57however the relationship did become
57:59strained especially after Bundy began
58:02making confessions to his crimes and
58:04Boon would eventually move away ending
58:06all contact with him in the final years
58:09of this piece of shit's life on death
58:11row Ted Bundy like I said would begin
58:13confessing to numerous murders some of
58:16which remained unresolved and these
58:18confessions started around 1986 and
58:20continued up until his execution in 1989
58:24Bundy detailed specific actions and
58:26methods he used in the crimes providing
58:28information that only the murderer would
58:30know his aim in doing this was just to
58:32manipulate the system potentially
58:33extending his life by offering these
58:35confessions in exchange for delays in
58:38his execution schedule so he'd be able
58:40to control the narrative around the
58:42crimes up to the end but alas Ted Bundy
58:45would be executed on January 24th 1989
58:50at Florida State Prison in Stark Florida
58:53on that day he was put to death in the
58:55electric chair known as ol Sparky I feel
58:57like every electric chair everywhere is
58:59named ol Sparky I've been to two prisons
59:01not not me I visited like prisons that
59:05have been out of commission anyway their
59:07electric chairs were named olark anyway
59:08he would be put to death at 7:16 a.m.
59:11local time Bundy's execution followed a
59:14decade of Trials appeals confessions and
59:17numerous murders and his final words
59:19were reportedly directed to his lawyer
59:21and close friends expressing his love
59:24and appreciation yourself his last words
59:26were I'd like to give my love to my
59:28family and friends whatever dude burn in
59:31hell I don't give a and Bundy's
59:32death would Mark the end of a long and
59:35tumultuous legal Saga and brought
59:37closure to many families and victims and
59:40crowds outside the prison cheered upon
59:42hearing the news of his execution which
59:45is medal as Ted Bundy even in death
59:48stirred
59:49hatred
59:54singing but but anyway that concludes
59:58the video I know this this was a long
1:00:00one this was a long one and I hope I
1:00:02gave you some information you haven't
1:00:03heard before I did the research on this
