We've got a lot to talk about, guys. Let's get right into it, man.
00:00:12.400
I was a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, okay, guys? HSI.
00:00:15.680

00:00:44.180
This is 6ix9ine, and then this is Billy Seiko right here.
00:00:47.660
Now, when they first started, guys, 6ix9ine ran with me.
00:00:51.740
You know, I'm bobbing my head like, hey, this shit lit.
00:01:04.780
The strapper to the arrest after shooting at King of Diamonds, Miami strip club, injured one person.
00:01:08.880
This is the one that's going to fuck him up because this gun is not tracing.
00:01:13.560
Here's your boy, 42 Doug, right here on the left.
00:01:17.540
They can effectively link him to paying an underage girl.
00:01:25.320
In respect to the shutdown in Baghdad, the site of the second explosion inspired by Al-Qaeda.
00:01:30.420
Two terrorists, the brothers, the Zokar Sarnab and Tamerlan Sarnab.

As this guy got arrested for espionage, okay, trading secrets with the Russians for monetary compensation.
00:01:43.400
The largest corrupt police bust in New Orleans history.
00:02:07.680
This has probably been one of the most requested cases for us to do in a very long time.
00:02:16.640
Between O Block and the YSL case, Ted Bundy has always been up there.
00:02:22.040
As you guys know, I've been covering the serial killers more recently.
00:02:26.500
Then I followed that up with the killer clown, John Wayne Gacy.
00:02:31.660
So quick announcement before we get into this case, guys, because we got a lot to cover on this.
00:02:35.540
I apologize for the slight delay, but I was spending – I've pretty much been spending weeks researching this case.
00:02:41.420
And then I spent all day putting everything together for you guys in a systematic review where it's going to make sense.
00:02:47.260
And, you know, you'll be able to understand and digest it properly from a chronological standpoint because there's so many different things and so many different pieces on this case.
00:02:57.500

00:03:00.760
We do a live stream every Sunday, and then we go ahead and give you guys a documentary breakdown every Thursday.
00:03:07.460
This channel is specialized towards, you know, reacting towards criminal cases of all different types I've covered, as you guys saw from the intro.
00:03:13.680
Terrorism, public corruption, espionage, bank robberies, gang cases, RICO's, everything, man.
00:03:18.720
I have all different types of cases I've covered, former special agent of Homeland Security.
00:03:21.740
So, you know, I'm in a position to be able to speak about this stuff from an investigator's perspective.
00:03:25.720
So it's unique because I don't think anyone else on YouTube does this type of stuff.
00:03:28.420
I've seen, like, you know, former police officers kind of react to stuff.
00:03:31.960
But you've never seen a former federal agent do this.
00:03:34.760
So if you're new here, please subscribe to the channel, like the video.
00:03:38.660
So quick announcement before we get into today's episode.
00:03:50.300
It's going to be a rooftop spot somewhere in downtown Miami.
00:03:56.740
However, we're selling tickets at the second tier, which I think is, like, $1,500 or whatever.
00:04:01.620
Now, I want you guys, before you guys get mad about the price, understand this.
00:04:05.520
We're going to do a free meetup with all of our supporters for the 1 million subscriber party first.
00:04:25.800
We spend tens of thousands of dollars to go ahead and get y'all this party.
00:04:30.380
But, you know, like I said before, the paywall is there just to make it exclusive, to keep it to a certain level.
00:04:39.940
If you don't have any money, we're going to meet with you guys for free regardless because we love you guys.
00:04:44.260
And this channel is almost at $100K as well, man.
00:04:55.960
And then if you guys want to kick it with us and hang out with us and, you know, VIP and, you know, come to the studio and meet us and everything, we do have a $5,000 tier that you guys can jump in.
00:05:04.120
Like I said before, you don't have to spend a dollar.
00:05:06.860
But if you want to partake in a party, the girls and the booze and the rooftops and, you know, all that other stuff, meet some celebs.
00:05:12.840
And then I'm here with Christina, by the way, as well.
00:05:15.620
Christina, you have anything you want to tell the people?
00:05:20.120
If you guys want any, like, cases done, just contact the IG Feta 1811.
00:05:30.100
Um, it's honestly, it's been a pain in that pain.
00:05:35.040
It's been a pain trying to get, like, somebody to actually go there and not be afraid because they've just been weird.
00:05:40.160
So long story short with the Young Dolph case, because you guys have been asking for this one for months as well.
00:05:43.960
That's up there with the Ted Bundy case, Ted Bundy case request.
00:05:47.820
Long story short, anyone we send over there to go ahead and get documents for that case, guys, they start asking them a bunch of questions.
00:05:55.800
So I'm scaring off a bunch of the people that we've asked to go get the documents for us.
00:05:59.660
We're still working to get them, guys, because I want to give you guys the most thorough breakdown on that investigation.
00:06:04.940
I mean, I could do it now, but I want the documents.
00:06:07.160
You know, as you guys know, we've broken a lot of cases with getting documents for us, such as a Tory Lanez case, et cetera, where I broke for you guys that, yo, the doctor even said himself that she stepped on glass.
00:06:15.880
It didn't necessarily come from gunshot wounds, but you only get that type of stuff from getting the documents.
00:06:22.360
No, it's just that it's just it's honestly because with all the cases I've been dealing with, it's never been like this.
00:06:30.420
So we're going to keep working for you guys on that on that Young Dolph case.
00:06:35.800
But yeah, they've been extremely difficult because they try to say, oh, it has gang ties.
00:06:41.160
We don't want to release those documents, even though they're public record.
00:06:44.080
So anyway, let me hit some of these super chats real fast.
00:06:49.180
We got here Austrian and Serbo Croatian top goes.
00:06:52.860
Hey, my number 17, Serbo Croatian watching from Vienna, Austria.
00:06:56.620
Just got out of the relationship because she doing three or four stuff.
00:06:59.940
You don't give these three or fours your time, man.
00:07:06.780
I'm giving you a counseling statement for this.
00:07:15.700
I could just start it, but then you'll have to pause it and stuff like that.
00:07:18.700
I'd rather start a little bit later and make sure that it's good to go versus like, you
00:07:22.440
know, starting it on time and they're like, oh, sorry, guys.
00:07:30.500
Jay Williams, 50 West Coast, watching from Fletzy and Glencoe.
00:07:33.860
Congratulations on your career that you're embarking on, your federal law enforcement
00:07:37.220
Myron, this channel is very inspiring as I'm looking at going the 1811 route next.
00:07:40.360
I'm currently here for UT, UPTP, Uniform Police Training.
00:07:48.000
Just get the hell out of, you know, go through.
00:07:50.480
Put your head down, do the work and, you know, get the hell out of there.
00:08:01.740
And then notoriously welcome to being a new member for the show.
00:08:05.440
So, OK, before I get into this breakdown, guys, like the video, I'm really excited to break
00:08:10.040
This has been probably the most requested serial killer by far for you guys that you wanted to
00:08:16.900
I watched a bunch of different documentaries, watched the Netflix special, watched a bunch
00:08:20.500
of bullshit documentaries in the process as well.
00:08:22.280
So what I've basically done, guys, is I've gathered all the most pertinent content and
00:08:26.700
aligned it in a way where we'll be able to go through it systematically and following
00:08:31.500
But before we get into that, who the hell is Theodore Robert Bundy?
00:08:35.760
Born November 24th, 1946, died January 24th, 1989.
00:08:40.380
American serial killer who kidnapped, raped and murdered numerous young women and girls
00:08:44.460
during the 1970s and possibly earlier after more than a decade of denials.
00:08:48.420
He confessed to 30 murders committed in seven states between 1974, 1978.
00:08:52.660
Actually, they ended up finding out that he had murders before 1974, guys.
00:08:56.920
His true victim total is unknown and is significantly higher.
00:08:59.420
So they were able to pin him back to about 30 to 36, but, you know, he allegedly what
00:09:06.980
But that's a quick little overview of who he is, guys.
00:09:09.680
This is a famous photo taken in 78 when he was in Florida, when he got indicted and the
00:09:15.720
sheriff was reading the indictment in front of him, which I will go ahead and show you
00:09:20.060
But for us to understand who the hell this guy was, we got to get into his beginnings.
00:09:24.260
OK, and then just so you all know, Christina is going to be highlighting every single
00:09:29.180
We're going to be I'm going to read them, you know, every time I take a break or whatever,
00:09:32.140
but I want to make sure we get through this because we got a lot to cover here, guys.
00:09:35.680
But yeah, without further ado, man, let's go ahead and start playing this thing.
00:09:40.020
This is going to cover his his upbringing, because I think this is very important for
00:09:44.320
you guys to see what led to the crazy person that we ended up seeing later on.
00:09:57.660
Theodore Robert Bundy was born on the 24th of November at the Elizabeth Lund Home for
00:10:09.960
No father figure born to a mom that had a wedlock with with zero masculine presence.
00:10:15.760
OK, in his early childhood, this was the 1940s in America that the ideal nuclear family was
00:10:24.060
mom and dad who were married, that nice family units where everything is very neat and very
00:10:30.900
And people who were outside of that ideal really were stigmatized to avoid.
00:10:36.960
Yeah, guys, nuclear family was the way to do things back then in the 40s.
00:10:40.200
You know, there was none of this, you know, single mother bullshit that we got going on
00:10:43.300
nowadays, like I'm by myself, I'm strong and independent like that didn't exist.
00:10:46.620
If you were a woman and you had a child out of wedlock, it was it was shunned.
00:10:52.780
So that's why they had shelters like that back in the 40s.
00:10:55.640
I mean, obviously, nowadays, that wouldn't exist because it would be overcrowded.
00:10:58.400
And also, just want to let you all know, I'm streaming live on Twitch as well, because
00:11:01.380
since I'm using documentaries to go ahead to different documentaries to piece this together
00:11:05.940
for you guys and cutting out all the bullshit, giving you guys the most pertinent stuff, what
00:11:09.240
might happen is they might shut the stream down in the middle, right, for copyright, whatever
00:11:12.320
the hell they may be, even though it's a reaction video commentary.
00:11:21.680
But if it does go down and open up another tab just in case and watch it on Twitch as
00:11:26.000
Just give you guys a warning here, because if it does go down, I want to make sure
00:11:31.440
That judgment, Ted's 22-year-old mother, Eleanor, moved back to her parents' home in Philadelphia,
00:11:38.380
Pennsylvania, where her parents brought up Ted as their own.
00:11:44.240
The unusual part of his childhood is how he's raised.
00:11:49.720
He's raised alongside a person who he is told is his sister.
00:12:02.960
This arrangement went on for almost four years, with Ted's grandparents as his main
00:12:12.100
So that suggests to me that very early on in his life, he's almost in a bit of a survival
00:12:21.420
Just before his fourth birthday, Eleanor moved to Tacoma, Washington.
00:12:26.180
And just so you guys know, this is where he ends up, you know, living most of his adult
00:12:32.300
That's where he identifies, where he's from, etc.
00:12:38.540
Well, actually, in this case, from, you know, Vermont to Philly and then, bam, all the way
00:12:46.240
And that's where he ends up doing most of his, you know, growing up.
00:12:51.640
There she met and married Johnny Bundy in 1951.
00:12:55.620
They formally adopted Ted when he was five years old.
00:13:01.240
But Ted reportedly didn't form a close bond with his new family and still believed his
00:13:08.620
Ted Bundy is somebody who has always been really conscious of his social class.
00:13:12.660
He came from quite humble beginnings that the family were quite poor.
00:13:16.100
And he was really quite aware of that and really quite embarrassed and ashamed by it.
00:13:22.660
So he ends up going to the University of Washington, right?
00:13:25.720
And he was he was a smart guy, guys, which is why.
00:13:28.400
OK, this was so wild because and you guys are going to see as we continue to play this
00:13:33.300
on later that Bundy was extremely charismatic, charming, pause, good looking dude.
00:13:40.020
So he was able to evade detection for quite a bit of time.
00:13:44.540
So we'll go ahead and go into the college portion of of his timeline.
00:13:51.300
But in 1966, he enrolled at the University of Washington in Seattle and suddenly.
00:13:59.780
Which, by the way, you dub is an L, by the way, guys, I want to tell you all that right
00:14:03.080
OK, and the reason why I say that is because I went to Northeastern.
00:14:07.100
They're the real Huskies, not University of Washington.
00:14:23.280
And at that time, that was the only thing that people really paid much attention to.
00:14:30.480
Ted was popular at the University of Washington.
00:14:34.660
His professors thought he was great, that he was brilliant.
00:14:38.180
But research has shown that the prettier people get the better grades and better placements
00:14:45.020
and the not so pretty people don't do quite so well.
00:14:49.940
In other words, if you're ugly, life sucks a lot.
00:14:55.040
And that, I think, came to the point where people, because he was such a handsome young
00:15:01.040
man, basically overlooked any type of emptiness that was the core of him.
00:15:08.180
Anne Rule, now a best-selling author, was a volunteer at the Crisis Clinic, the Suicide
00:15:17.860
Your boy, Ted Bundy, was working at a suicide crisis hotline.
00:15:22.440
...met the attractive, charismatic young Bundy.
00:15:34.960
I can still picture him hunched over the desk with a phone to his head.
00:15:41.300
And many times, we saved lives, which seems very ironic to me now.
00:15:49.220
But I got the sweet Ted, who would walk me out to my car at 2 in the morning when my shift
00:15:59.700
I don't want anything bad to happen to you on the way home.
00:16:02.920
Well, I'd just been locked up with probably the most dangerous man in the Western states.
00:16:11.700
Yo, this woman does not know how lucky she is, because this is right around the time the
00:16:18.140
killing spree pretty much is beginning, if not has already started.
00:16:21.720
Now, remember, they documented his killing starting in 1974, right?
00:16:26.340
However, they were able to pin it back to 1973 almost.
00:16:30.120
So this woman was working at a suicide crisis hotline with Ted Bundy.
00:16:36.140
And during the day, he was keeping people from putting guns in their mouths.
00:16:39.720
But during the night, he was out here chasing and hitting chicks with crowbars and shit,
00:16:43.080
which you guys are going to see here in a second.
00:16:46.780
And this is a big part, guys, as to why Bundy was able to evade detection for so long.
00:16:55.080
He didn't have the traditional crazy serial killer look.
00:16:59.320
He didn't have that thousand-yard stare like a Dahmer.
00:17:02.940
He didn't have the weirdoness of John Wayne Gacy and the homosexuality.
00:17:08.660
He was a heterosexual guy that was smart, charismatic.
00:17:13.340
And you guys are going to see, ends up going to law school.
00:17:28.180
shared the same boarding house as the seemingly bright and gifted Bundy.
00:17:33.520
Ted Bundy that I knew, there were things about him that were special, I would want to say.
00:17:40.020
I remember thinking what a handsome man he was, and probably, wistfully, myself, wishing that I was supposed to pause.
00:17:49.520
So, I remember him being well-spoken, intellectual, unassuming, arrogant, but unassuming, in the sense of, I would say, disarming.
00:18:02.220
And guys, hold on to that little note right there when he says disarming, because you guys are going to see a tactic here that your boy Ted employs that is extremely, it's vile, but it's very smart as to get things done the way he ended up getting them done later on.
00:18:17.040
And I don't want to give away too much, but keep that word disarming in the back of your minds.
00:18:33.980
So, he ends up finding his first girlfriend here, guys.
00:18:45.220
But after more than a year's romance, Bundy's dream girl began having second thoughts.
00:18:52.200
So, she gives him the, all right, because she came from an Afro family, but Ted did not.
00:18:58.400
And Ted is a broke college student at this point, guys.
00:19:06.300
He didn't have any real, he'd talk about politics and he'd talk about being a lawyer,
00:19:35.720
And then went out of his way to find a way of wooing her back.
00:19:43.140
So, I've always said this, and I'll say it one more time.
00:19:45.360
Typically, you know, guys either progress or regress after a breakup.
00:19:49.380
So, he uses it as motivation to get involved in some things and up his game.
00:19:54.220
And you guys are going to see here in a little bit what he's able to do with this newfound motivation from his girl breaking up with him.
00:20:00.240
Because remember, he wasn't able to afford her a certain lifestyle.
00:20:10.960
Bundy threw himself into the dynamic world of law and politics, gaining a reputation as a rising star of the Republican Party.
00:20:18.860
All the while, he refused to give up on his dream girl.
00:20:26.580
By early 1974, the now seemingly high-achieving Bundy had won her back so completely, they began talking of marriage.
00:20:35.560
Then, abruptly and unexpectedly, he broke off all contact.
00:20:49.640
You know, he turns into Shao Kahn in this bitch.
00:21:09.520
And then, also, I want to let y'all know around this time as well, he was working for the school, like a crime prevention type job, right?
00:21:20.760
For girls on how to avoid getting kidnapped and raped.
00:21:29.680
So, he was out here working, writing articles, right?
00:21:40.780
He ended up getting a psychology degree, but he always wanted to be a lawyer.
00:21:43.460
And he was writing articles to try to keep women, right?
00:21:50.860
So, this goes to show the type of guy that Ted Bundy was, okay?
00:21:57.340
And why he was such a prolific serial killer and why he's so infamous.
00:22:00.220
Because he goes 100% against the grain as to what people think, okay?
00:22:12.880
You have no idea how much you have helped me ever since I found FNF a year ago.
00:22:17.360
But thanks to you doing God's work, I started to improve in every way and managed to get a job in the U.S.
00:22:22.840
I thank you with the small super chat I bought with my first U.S. CC.
00:22:35.160
Because like I said before, you know, like this channel especially, like this channel isn't about making money, guys.
00:22:40.060
This channel is more about like educating you guys, giving you guys some entertainment, helping you guys learn about how the criminal justice system works,
00:22:45.440
and giving you guys another perspective that you probably will never, ever hear real time.
00:22:50.300
You know, how many special agents are you going to meet that are actually on YouTube that can give you guys an honest assessment of how law enforcement works on this side?
00:22:56.840
You know, you might get a lawyer's perspective or police officers, but an actual investigator that did all different types of cases, you're not really going to get that.
00:23:02.960
So, you know, I really enjoy this channel because it almost kind of helps me relive what I used to do because I do miss that job, guys.
00:23:11.620
It just I just had to, you know, things turned out a certain way and I'm here now.
00:23:19.340
But, you know, I had to pick one, YouTube or the job.
00:23:22.860
You can't have clout while simultaneously, you know, arresting bad guys just doesn't work that way.
00:23:32.080
So, OK, so just a quick little rewind here of what the hell is going on.
00:23:36.160
So for some of you guys that are joining us, because we're almost at 2000 live viewers right now.
00:23:40.820
So Ted Bunny grows up in, you know, you know, poor conditions, guys.
00:23:44.600
He's born to a mother that was at a wedlock in Vermont.
00:23:51.080
He grows up thinking that his mom was actually a sister, was raised by his grandparents.
00:23:55.780
She he ends up finding on later that it was his mom.
00:24:02.860
The infamous Bundy last name and grows up in kind of a rocky household.
00:24:06.480
However, and bright, intelligent, ends up going to the University of Washington, makes friends there, gets into politics, gets a girlfriend.
00:24:15.420
He becomes a higher status guy on campus, which I've talked to you guys about this before on college campus.
00:24:21.460
She goes ahead, gets back with him, and then he drops her like, you know, like a hot potato.
00:24:26.800
Now we're going to fast forward, guys, to February 4th, 1974.
00:24:46.640
It was a very popular young woman because she was on the radio five days a week at seven o'clock in the morning.
00:24:56.280
In all of my years of studying murder, I've never heard of an abduction quite like the Linda Ann Healy abduction.
00:25:05.560
I was one of many who listened to her in the morning, and I realized the day that she wasn't on the air, that there was something unusual.
00:25:19.480
On the last night of her life, Linda Ann Healy went to Dante's with another girl and a friend of theirs.
00:25:27.800
But he probably did follow them home and waited, and he checked the front door, and it was unlocked.
00:25:37.920
This is what makes this abduction so incredibly surreal.
00:25:43.800
Guys, this is reckless what you're about to see right now, man.
00:25:48.420
He's aware that there's another bedroom on the other side.
00:25:51.920
He would tell a brighter later that he choked her.
00:25:57.300
He takes her nightie off of her, hangs it up in the closet, and he makes the bed, almost like in a military fashion.
00:26:06.500
He takes her down the front steps, and they're steep steps, to wherever his car's parked, and puts her in there.
00:26:11.320
He would turn the passenger seat around so it was flat.
00:26:20.200
And this guy ends up being a huge identifying factor, which gets him in trouble later on in his little buggy right there, how the passenger seat was always tampered with, which was like weird.
00:26:32.800
Why would the hell would you have the front passenger seat always either down, out, laid down flat?
00:26:39.360
So this is going to be an identifying factor later on.
00:26:46.240
He said, well, because that's the way he put his cargo in the car.
00:26:56.000
And this is a former defense attorney as well in the 70s.
00:27:02.620
Once he got girls to the destination, he raped them.
00:27:14.780
This is, you know, the first woman to go missing in the greater Seattle area, right?
00:27:21.900
And this is just one of many to come, my friends.
00:27:26.740
And then also, you know, I can hit some of these chats real fast.
00:27:30.080
And then also, just so y'all know, I know some of you guys said that I'm shadow banned.
00:27:32.780
The thing is, guys, you got to search Feta 1811.
00:27:34.680
That's why I have to switch the name from Reddit to Feta.
00:27:43.640
Is there a case that scarred you or where you had to step away for a second?
00:27:52.900
Hey, bro, can you put your face cam while you play the video?
00:27:59.140
The reason why I want to give y'all a better viewing experience.
00:28:10.820
If you watch the older episodes of Fed it, this thing was bald as hell.
00:28:16.680
Would you ever consider covering the Enron scandal from early 2000?
00:28:22.780
Yeah, I could do embezzlement and financial fraud as well.
00:28:26.100
I haven't done a big financial case yet for y'all.
00:28:35.040
Thank you for another video to listen to through my shift.
00:28:47.580
That's the first request I've gotten for that one.
00:28:56.840
So, so Laura Ann Healy, guys, goes missing first.
00:29:00.340
And then Donna Manson, she disappeared from Evergreen State College.
00:29:09.400
And then you have the abduction of Susan Rancourt from Central Washington.
00:29:15.980
Susan Rancourt in Ellensburg was on her way to a meeting to see about being a dorm counselor.
00:29:22.060
In May of 1974, Roberta Kathleen Parks went missing.
00:29:27.220
And in those days, it was reported just as a missing student.
00:29:32.040
And these young women started disappearing and people wondered what's going on here.
00:29:37.160
You start seeing a bunch of random disappearances of women, college-age women, all pretty much have the same look, guys.
00:29:51.040
The reason why he picked these types of women is because they all looked like his first girlfriend, Stephanie.
00:29:57.080
The one that had rejected him before that he ended up rejecting later on.
00:30:00.920
But either way, that's why that's, you know, some theorists, you know, claim that's why he picked women that look that way.
00:30:09.040
Well, I think we're still live on Twitch, guys.
00:30:30.840
Do you want to read these super chats real fast?
00:31:23.460
We'll wait for everybody to pile in over on Twitch, and then we'll get this thing going
00:31:54.820
I feel like you've done, like, other ones, but it hasn't stopped it.
00:32:01.160
So, we'll just keep rolling it on Twitch, and then I'll re-upload it to YouTube.
00:32:09.580
So, we're on Twitch right now, because I knew that shit was going to happen.
00:32:30.200
I'll go into YouTube studio and see what it says.
00:33:28.260
When I put this up on YouTube, I'll go ahead and just edit this stuff out.
00:33:36.240
Quick little recap before all this crap happened.
00:33:56.500
And she's deemed as his sister throughout his entire childhood.
00:33:58.920
Then ends up moving to Tacoma, Washington with her.
00:34:07.620
And then he, you know, goes through his childhood.
00:34:12.100
Doesn't really get along with the family too much.
00:34:21.620
And he takes that as motivation to go ahead and become a better man.
00:34:33.400
Helping young women avoid being kidnapped and raped, etc.
00:34:37.620
Then he ends up, you know, committing his first murder.
00:34:56.900
So let's go ahead and keep rolling the clip, guys.
00:34:59.680
Did you want to do the last of the chats on YouTube?
00:35:05.340
And then Brenda Ball was abducted near the flame tavern.
00:35:15.120
That made it all the more challenging because it adds to the randomness of the victims.
00:35:20.340
He took his victims from where he could fit in.
00:35:30.500
You don't think a killer of women is going to be a good-looking, articulate young man.
00:35:39.660
George Ann Hawkins was a student at the University of Washington.
00:35:53.200
She disappeared from an alley one night behind Greek Rome.
00:35:57.040
Being a university district, people are walking around all hours.
00:36:03.860
And this is like Candyland for him because there's a bunch of young, attractive women,
00:36:09.260
you know, all concentrated in one small geographic area.
00:36:12.800
So he's able to kind of just like, oh, my God, and just, you know, prowl around at night in his,
00:36:17.980
you know, Volkswagen and pick up girls and attack them and just kind of drag them off without anyone really knowing.
00:36:25.940
It's not like today where everyone had cell phones and there's cameras everywhere.
00:36:41.000
And this is actually from him, guys, when he's confessing to the murder.
00:36:46.960
The alley using a briefcase and some crutches and the young woman walked down.
00:36:53.520
I saw her round the north end of the block into the alley and stop for a moment
00:36:59.040
and then keep on walking down the alley toward me.
00:37:02.120
And about halfway down the block, I encountered her and asked her to help me carry the briefcase,
00:37:18.240
And this, you guys, are going to notice is one of his main things that he does is he puts himself
00:37:22.040
in vulnerable positions where he does what looks disarming, guys.
00:37:27.620
So girls are like, oh, yeah, I'll help you out.
00:37:30.860
And this was one of his ploys to lure women into helping him to get something over to his car,
00:37:36.060
whether it was books, a boat, whatever it was, right?
00:37:38.600
We're going to talk about a boat here in a second.
00:37:40.100
And he was able to use that to lure the women over.
00:37:42.720
The next thing you know, he hits him in the head with a crowbar.
00:37:54.440
He had crutches leaning against the wall by the door to his room.
00:38:02.280
And he said that his landlord had hurt himself and was on crutches,
00:38:07.580
but he was going to take the crutches back to the rental place.
00:38:16.160
He had placed a crowbar behind the right rear tire.
00:38:20.500
Basically, when I reached the car, what happened was I knocked her unconscious with the crowbar.
00:38:25.960
So he had the crowbar staged, guys, on top of one of the tires, man.
00:38:31.200
So, I mean, if that doesn't show, you know, the guy's meticulousness, I don't know what does.
00:38:37.520
He hit her with such force that she came out of one of her shoes, and both her earrings flew off.
00:38:44.960
And that's why he kept the passenger side of the car down, guys, so that he can lay them
00:38:59.040
back there without anyone really noticing or arousing suspicion.
00:39:01.820
And drive to a spot that he's already picked out, going to be off of a main highway.
00:39:08.780
He said sometimes you can check the moon out, too.
00:39:11.560
And just so y'all know, that guy, Bill Hagmeyer, he's an FBI profiler.
00:39:15.000
He was the one that was responsible for doing most of the interviews with Ted Bundy after he was arrested.
00:39:19.160
When it's going to be bright, I don't have to leave my headlights on to see what I'm doing.
00:39:23.620
And the speed with which she would have had to have been abducted tells you that probably
00:39:31.560
We really could not find anything definitive that tied all the victims together.
00:39:39.260
So, at this point, the police don't know what the hell's going on, guys.
00:39:43.400
So that's going to take us to part three here, okay?
00:39:50.780
So this is really, you know, important stuff here.
00:39:54.160
And also, I want you guys to know that the climate in the 1970s, man, just so y'all know,
00:40:01.900
There was no formal database like there is today, like NCIC, NLITS, et cetera,
00:40:05.560
which these databases connect all the different police agencies, right,
00:40:09.000
where they're able to go ahead and look up criminal histories in there.
00:40:11.240
They're able to look up registration tags, all this other stuff.
00:40:14.960
They didn't have one central location where they can go ahead and put information into.
00:40:18.080
So it was very difficult for police agencies back then to communicate.
00:40:24.640
He was involved with working with law enforcement.
00:40:26.620
And he was also a part of the Crime Prevention Committee in the Seattle area.
00:40:33.020
So he was out here writing articles to keep girls from getting kidnapped and raped.
00:40:38.360
So that's why he was able to act in such a brazen fashion that, you know, we're looking
00:40:44.060
You would be like, what the hell is this guy reckless?
00:40:45.520
But he knew the system back then, and he knew he'd be able to get away, which that hubris
00:40:51.700
So now we're at a point where we got several missing college-age women in the greater Washington
00:41:02.300
Dan Hawkins was last seen Monday evening shortly.
00:41:06.960
It's hard to say whether there's any foul play or not.
00:41:09.200
There was incredible pressure on law enforcement to find the person who was responsible for
00:41:19.200
What cleverness or what sophistication of the suspect are you looking for that can manage
00:41:32.300
I mean, it's kind of remarkable that nobody saw anything, but Lake Sammamish was another
00:41:38.540
So this is going to be a turning point here, guys.
00:41:43.540
Very popular state park, especially in the summertime with people visiting.
00:41:54.020
Like a place you would go to in the Midwest or something with this old-fashioned concession stand
00:41:58.180
and people just coming out with their little sailboats or coming out to sun.
00:42:14.480
We weren't getting along real well, so I was surprised that he came in and wanted to know
00:42:19.680
I said I was going to go to a park and lay in the sun.
00:42:23.720
He asked me which park, and I think he was just wanting to know if you're going to Lake
00:42:31.800
A number of people that day at Lake Sammamish were taking photos and shooting film.
00:42:37.580
So this film, guys, and this actually is the actual real footage here from Lake Sammamish
00:42:41.740
that summer, or that spring, yeah, I think it was summertime.
00:42:45.100
This is going to be critical in them being able to figure out who the hell was behind what's
00:42:50.560
So one of the rare situations where they actually have film, but there was thousands of people
00:43:01.180
And the reason, I don't know why her neck is like that, by the way, guys.
00:43:03.940
But that was his main girlfriend back in a time where she actually had children.
00:43:10.440
Where, sorry, where she actually, where he raised, he was with her and her child.
00:43:30.560
And I want you guys to pay attention to how he runs his scheme in this situation.
00:43:45.100
He was able to strike up conversations with people.
00:43:50.560
He was able to convince Denise Naslund and Janice Ott to help him with the ruse that he had
00:43:59.620
a sailboat, that he had his arm in a fake sling.
00:44:03.680
So he shows up at the lake with a sling on, saying, you know, I need help, you know, with my sailboat.
00:44:12.140
And he's able to kind of famoose these two young women.
00:44:17.600
He has seen the silence of the lambs, where the killer had that, trying to get that couch into the van and he's got a cast on.
00:44:38.400
Remember that these abductions were benign on the face of them.
00:44:45.040
They were always Bundy approaching the women in a state of, of presumed need or weakness.
00:44:53.240
Can you help me carry my books, my arms in a sling?
00:44:59.380
There were three women that saw Janice Hott roll her bicycle up to the beach and lay it down.
00:45:12.960
And then they observed this man walk up to her.
00:45:21.820
So finally, we got witnesses seeing Ted Bundy in the sling.
00:45:26.760
And they heard her get up and say, hi, I'm Jan.
00:45:41.800
She was last seen headed toward the parking lot, pushing her bike with him walking next to her.
00:45:48.220
So that's where, that's where they had seen her prior, right?
00:45:54.400
And then bam, this is the car where he had it parked.
00:45:56.680
So he was able to talk her into walking with him.
00:46:02.380
Think of, think of the temperament at this point, right?
00:46:08.060
Everyone's out there having a good time, drinking some beers, whatever it may be.
00:46:15.220
You're not going to question a guy like that, especially a dude like him that's charismatic,
00:46:19.220
Oh, I go to University of Washington, et cetera.
00:46:21.700
So college age guy, they're not, you know, they're not going to suspect anything.
00:46:25.000
And then at the time, guys, those Volkswagen buggies that he was driving, very popular car.
00:46:37.580
We did have about five or six other women come forward that said that they had been approached
00:46:48.580
And they look just like Janice, Denise, Naslin.
00:47:03.020
McCartney and Wings, Juniors, Farm, KJR, Seattle, and Kevin O'Brien at 4.09.
00:47:14.660
And my buddy and I, we noticed off to the side, this guy just a few feet from us standing
00:47:31.540
All that people who were at the park that day, who were taking photographs of their friends
00:47:38.040
and family, any filming that they had done, turned over their photographs.
00:47:41.880
And so you got thousands of people turning over footage and photographs and video and
00:47:48.080
Filmed to us to see if we could find something that would be a clue.
00:47:54.820
The Lake Sammamish abductions would come back to bite Bundy.
00:47:59.140
People saw him and he identified himself as Ted.
00:48:04.320
There's a Ted and he drives a Volkswagen and he's handsome.
00:48:09.040
Well, a bunch of things coming together, right?
00:48:12.280
Cast, vehicle, being charming, handsome, pause.
00:48:16.460
So all these things are coming back to bite him in the ass.
00:48:19.100
From the witnesses that saw him were composite drawings made.
00:48:40.880
Whoever, you know, went to that sketch artist was fantastic at being able to describe him.
00:48:47.760
That's an L for our boy, Ted, right there, my friends.
00:48:53.860
When the picture came out, no question in our minds.
00:49:05.820
Some pan out with a speck of information that may someday help clear up the mystery of the whereabouts of Janisat and Denise Naslin.
00:49:16.620
So basically, guys, a bunch of women are missing.
00:49:20.280
Now we got another two ladies missing from from the lake.
00:49:24.940
And that spurs the police to say, yo, we got a bunch of women that are already missing from the greater Seattle, Washington area.
00:49:30.360
And on top of that, now we got two other women that are missing.
00:49:32.920
But they were seen talking to some dude named Ted with a sling trying to get them to help him with a sailboat.
00:49:38.520
Fortunately, there were a bunch of witnesses there that saw Ted, saw him with the sling, saw the sailboat.
00:49:43.340
Saw how he was speaking, heard him speaking with the girls.
00:49:46.080
And that was the last time the women were seen alive.
00:49:48.580
And fortunately, with all those people there, they were able to get a damn good sketch artist to go ahead and draw a picture of the potential perpetrator who ends up looking like who?
00:50:07.020
So let's go ahead, guys, and get to the next part here.
00:50:09.540
Because Ted, at this point, is starting to feel a little bit of the heat.
00:50:21.160
So he ends up leaving, guys, the state of Washington, and he goes to Utah.
00:50:28.660
And he makes a big error here with what he's about to do next.
00:50:37.060
After seven o'clock on the evening of November the 8th, 1970.
00:50:45.440
Teen-year-old Janice Ott disappear on a warm summer day at Lake Sammamish.
00:50:49.640
Several witnesses told of a smooth-talking, good-looking young man named Ted.
00:51:10.080
Your co-workers brought over the sketch to show to you?
00:51:14.040
Was it because they thought the sketch looked like Ted?
00:51:18.060
There was something about it that just grabbed my attention.
00:51:21.620
There was just something about the jawline or something like that that made me think,
00:51:30.060
With, you know, she's a single mom, by the way.
00:51:32.900
Her daughter, Molly, you know, ended up with kind of like Ted as a stepfather.
00:51:37.360
So for them, obviously, they're like, what the hell is going on here?
00:51:39.760
Why does this guy have a striking resemblance to the man that I'm with
00:51:49.020
I called anonymously to a tip line that they had set up.
00:51:53.900
So she calls the police on him because she's scared.
00:51:59.900
There was something like 3,000 potential Ted's who may or may not drive a Volkswagen,
00:52:07.040
But he had this terrific, spotless, clean record.
00:52:10.340
You have to understand that detective work was organized in a very different way in the 70s.
00:52:20.100
Police departments didn't even have fax machines, let alone the Internet.
00:52:26.340
Like I said before, everything was done on paper, no computers.
00:52:30.740
You had to get out there and actually do surveillance.
00:52:32.720
You didn't have databases to be able to look people up.
00:52:36.100
You didn't have sophisticated law enforcement surveillance equipment.
00:52:39.320
You didn't have any of this stuff right back then in the 70s.
00:52:42.680
You know, and for a small police department like the agencies that were investigating Ted, right,
00:52:49.100
King County, et cetera, they're not going to have a lot of this stuff.
00:52:51.660
Maybe the feds might have had it, but they're not going to have it, okay,
00:52:54.400
especially for a missing persons type investigation.
00:52:56.940
It wasn't until the missing people started piling up and they saw a trend
00:53:00.700
that they were able to actually finally start allocating resources
00:53:03.500
and then most importantly getting together and creating a task force.
00:53:06.800
But they didn't do that until several women had already been missing.
00:53:09.360
When they had a profile of him, I brought up the similarities to him.
00:53:20.880
This is his stepdaughter, guys, who actually surprisingly he had never done,
00:53:27.840
but one of the few people that he was able to turn the wickedness off for.
00:53:41.000
Of course, I would never do anything like that.
00:53:49.200
Of course, I would never do anything like that.
00:53:53.960
So the heat turns up on him a little bit, guys.
00:53:55.860
Even his own family's starting to accuse him, right?
00:54:03.840
I mean, there's so many things here that people are going to be looking at you, kind of making a joke out of it.
00:54:09.740
But once I started to worry, like, could this be true, I didn't feel safe bringing it up.
00:54:28.520
Bundy realized that if he wanted to keep killing, he was going to have to go somewhere where there was no investigation.
00:54:35.180
He has the presence of mind to move from the Washington area to Utah.
00:54:42.140
All right, so he goes all the way down to Utah and goes to Utah University Law School.
00:54:48.540
So going to the Utah Law School, he gave Liz the option of going with him.
00:54:55.220
But he was probably delighted when she said no.
00:55:06.160
Within 12 or so hours, he would be murdering the Idaho hitchhiker.
00:55:12.920
So he killed a hitchhiker on the way down in Idaho.
00:55:15.120
So Bundy went to University of Utah School of Law.
00:55:21.420
When I was there at the law school, I would have regular contact with Ted Bundy and everyone liked him.
00:55:27.500
There were periods of time when he was absent from class and people would occasionally comment on that.
00:55:42.820
And you guys are going to see why he was gone all the time.
00:55:45.780
So we're going to fast forward here, guys, to this is a huge turning point in the Ted Bundy investigation.
00:55:51.460
This is where he gets sloppy and he fucks up here.
00:55:54.520
And he was drinking on this day as well, which is why the girl was actually able to identify him because she smelled alcohol on him.
00:56:02.140
Shortly after 7 o'clock on the evening of November the 8th, 1974, Carol DeRanche parked her car in this parking lot at the Fashion Mall.
00:56:10.720
Shortly after began what she now calls her personal nightmare.
00:56:14.740
What makes the Carol DeRanche abduction so pivotal is that she's the...
00:56:21.360
I don't know why the captions are messing it up, but this is a turning point here.
00:56:26.560
She was approached by a man near Walden's bookstore.
00:56:29.180
That's not true. A couple other women have come forward and escaped the clutches of Bundy.
00:56:33.340
But this is the only one that actually testified in court, which you guys are going to see here in a second.
00:56:46.040
I said, well, my partner is holding the suspect and this individual tried to get into the car.
00:56:51.200
He said they would have to go down to the main Murray Police Department to sign a complaint.
00:56:56.080
And right when I was in the car, I knew I had made a mistake.
00:57:00.260
Suddenly, he just pulled the car over and it kind of went up on the side of the curb.
00:57:06.380
And that's when I started absolutely freaking out.
00:57:10.520
I remember screaming at him, what are you doing?
00:57:25.420
But in the midst of this fight, when she's scratching, not even fighting, she gets the passenger door open and she jumps out of the car.
00:57:32.040
Somehow, miraculously, she's able to get out of the vehicle, guys.
00:57:43.160
He was trying to hit me over the head and struggling for a while.
00:57:50.060
I ran out into the street and just threw open their door and just jumped in on him.
00:57:56.040
An elderly couple drove the ranch to the Murray Police Department.
00:57:58.600
And another reason, too, which she didn't talk about it here, why she knew it was him, guys, is because when he was speaking with her and, you know, she was like, what the hell?
00:58:08.480
But it wasn't until she really started to smell the alcohol on him that she was like, OK, something's off.
00:58:12.620
And that's what kind of prompted her to be a little bit more reluctant.
00:58:15.400
And there were other women as well that Bundy had tried this on, saying it was a police officer, whatever it may be.
00:58:20.960
And they were able to escape and they never actually got in the vehicle with him.
00:58:23.960
And there were a couple stories of this, but she's the only one that actually got in and was able to escape and then later on testify and provide crucial testimony to the investigation.
00:58:37.920
And so this is the first time we have an eyewitness of somebody who survives a Bundy attack.
00:58:44.560
Sometimes the urges become such a compulsion that they can't control themselves.
00:58:51.840
His compulsion that day was so high, he had to kill somebody.
00:59:08.180
My friend came back from Utah and she said, I don't want to scare you, but it's happening down there now.
00:59:15.380
So now people start going missing in Utah as well.
00:59:23.020
Headlines of the missing women had stopped in Seattle when Ted left and they started in Utah.
00:59:38.600
So I did call King County police and I did meet with the detective, you know.
00:59:49.280
I gave them some pictures of him and they showed him to the best witness from Lake Sammamish.
00:59:56.320
She pulled his picture out of the stack that the detective had given her.
00:59:59.640
She said, no, he's too old and put it back in the stack.
01:00:05.580
So that right there, guys, is what you would call like exculpatory evidence, because now
01:00:09.140
you got a witness saying, oh, no, that's not him.
01:00:11.820
And actually ended up helping him out later on.
01:00:14.440
But obviously from getting convicted, but, you know, obviously, right, eyewitness testimony
01:00:20.600
can be fleeting sometimes because people, you know, you're going off recollection.
01:00:23.580
So they're like, oh, well, no, I might have not been him.
01:00:42.940
I think that that's a much younger her, as you guys can see.
01:00:54.780
So, you know, on the on the surface level, guys, it looks like he's a happy family man.
01:01:01.720
They did do some investigation, but it kept coming back.
01:01:08.820
So now we're going to get into the next part here.
01:01:11.840
He actually gets arrested for this and convicted.
01:01:19.140
1875 and Ted Bundy's got to find a place where there's not a lot of talk about missing women and where he can blend in.
01:01:31.180
So now he's at his fourth state where he's committed killing.
01:01:36.520
He killed a hitchhiker from Idaho or in Idaho on his way down to Salt Lake.
01:01:47.140
And you guys are going to see here what leads to his arrest.
01:01:56.180
He was very familiar with ski resorts in Colorado already.
01:02:01.060
He understood that those places are populated by basically strangers.
01:02:10.460
On January 12th, 1975, Karen Campbell disappeared from the Wildwood Inn.
01:02:25.440
She had come to the Wildwood Inn just like a day before.
01:02:33.320
Next thing you know, Bundy's in there and they never see her alive again.
01:02:40.460
He heads over to Vail and ends up killing a 26-year-old ski instructor.
01:02:51.100
He had more relationships with dead women by now than living women.
01:03:00.560
It costs the Northwest and he kills three women.
01:03:03.660
A 24-year-old, a 15-year-old, and a 12-year-old.
01:03:10.460
There was no pattern between Seattle and Utah and Colorado.
01:03:16.180
So these are all the areas that he struck, guys.
01:03:18.340
So obviously there's no real, you know, it's rhyme or reason.
01:03:35.120
There was all the women match pretty much the same profile.
01:03:40.140
And he's able to go ahead and abduct them and attack them, hit them with a crowbar, whatever else his methodologies were.
01:03:54.540
In the summer of 1975, Bundy's luck is changing.
01:04:06.200
He was going from being the hunter to being the hunted in Granger, Utah.
01:04:21.160
And he saw this Volkswagen parked in front of a house.
01:04:24.960
He knew there were two young women living there.
01:04:29.860
When you're in these small little towns, guys, you know, you got, you know, typically they don't have like their own town police.
01:04:34.200
So a state police or the, you know, state troopers and or county police that patrol the area.
01:04:38.840
So you get really acclimated with the neighborhood.
01:04:41.780
You get really acclimated with people that live there, et cetera.
01:04:43.760
So he's, you know, he sees Bundy's car in this, you know, small neighborhood.
01:04:51.700
And, you know, obviously at that point, he's like, what's going on here?
01:04:54.420
Let's do a traffic stop and figure out who the hell this guy is.
01:04:57.860
We're going to, you're going to see what the hell they find in this car.
01:05:25.080
I stopped and opened my door and he was out and coming back towards me.
01:05:28.560
I pulled my Magnum out and just sit in the crotch of the door and I just hold him right there.
01:05:37.540
Back then, guys, you know, they had revolvers, Magnums, those types of guns.
01:05:41.020
They didn't have semi-automatic, you know, weapons back then.
01:05:43.740
And, you know, in the 70s for law enforcement, which ended up changing after I broke down this case as well.
01:05:48.520
After the FBI shootout in 1986, that's when more law enforcement agencies started switching over to Glocks and semi-automatic weapons.
01:05:56.560
But, you know, this guy obviously had the Dirty Harry gun on him back then.
01:06:14.740
And we discussed this earlier that this is how he drove his car, which this is a strange situation.
01:06:19.260
I looked in that side and this seat was laying in the back seat and that's quite a space.
01:06:39.460
So he gives him consent to look in the car and let's see what he finds.
01:07:20.120
Like, so at this point, the troopers like this guy was stuck in two ladies.
01:07:25.340
You know, I know two women were living in front of this house as well.
01:07:27.540
And this random Volkswagen is sitting in front of the house.
01:07:34.780
The trooper did a good job, you know, like, you know, seeing something out of the ordinary
01:07:38.860
and doing what police officers are supposed to do, detect crime and prevent it.
01:07:46.200
This is what this actual real photo evidence photo of what they found in his vehicle in
01:08:05.440
Now, what is a person doing out in the middle of the night in a residential neighborhood
01:08:23.020
And if you guys remember, this mugshot looks, you know, surprisingly familiar to the sketch
01:08:29.320
that they had, you know, done back in Washington state on those women that were found missing
01:08:37.980
That put him on the radar of Utah law enforcement.
01:08:41.660
And they had this unsolved abduction of Carol LaRange.
01:08:50.560
So now, guys, at this point, right, law enforcement agencies are like, they finally got this guy in custody.
01:08:55.780
This is his first contact with law enforcement.
01:08:58.120
So you got a bunch of missing girls, right, in two different states, right, in Washington and Utah.
01:09:12.820
And now the law enforcement agencies are starting to figure out what the hell is going on here.
01:09:18.760
This is when the talks finally start to happen between the different agencies.
01:09:46.460
And you guys are going to notice a trend here where he continuously screams his innocence.
01:09:58.540
He made all sorts of attempts to make himself facially difficult to identify.
01:10:09.920
Carol Durant came to the police station, was shown a lineup, and was able to identify Bundy as the person who attacked her.
01:10:17.120
Now, remember, guys, they were like, whoa, this guy has a starling resemblance to the person that kidnapped this girl.
01:10:22.020
So that when they arrest him, they put his dumb ass in a lineup.
01:10:27.400
He cut his hair from the mugshot that we've seen before.
01:10:29.400
Remember, the mugshot before with the long hair, streaky hair.
01:10:34.260
He cleans himself up, changes his looks quite a bit, comes in for the photo lineup.
01:10:38.840
However, the lady that he tried to kidnap back on November 8th of 75 is able to actually identify him.
01:10:46.380
And then, bam, now they got him on kidnapping as well as possession of burglary tools from when the trooper caught him.
01:10:53.220
So even his classmates are in denial because, Ted, no, not the charismatic classmate.
01:11:14.780
No way he would be involved in a crime like this.
01:11:16.980
So they believed him in the beginning, and he denied everything.
01:11:28.040
I was assigned Ted Bundy's case by the Office of Public Defense.
01:11:39.200
You know, typical sociopath minimizing right there.
01:11:47.840
I remember saying, no, it's not a silly little case, Ted.
01:11:53.020
And look, this is also something I want you guys to pay attention to.
01:11:56.380
Notice how Ted comes dressed to the court appearances.
01:11:59.680
Bowtie, well-dressed, shaved, hair, you know, kept to a certain degree of, you know, cleanliness.
01:12:06.340
He does not look like a serial, you know, Manson, crazy, you know, John Wayne, Gacy, whatever.
01:12:28.200
Bundy actually comes outside and talks to the media.
01:12:31.540
How do you feel about the justice system in general?
01:12:34.780
Now, I want you guys to pay attention to how he communicates when he's talking to the media when they're asking him questions about his case.
01:12:39.860
Which, to be honest with you, he shouldn't be saying anything to the media, but he couldn't help himself.
01:12:47.600
And you've got to have faith it'll work or else you'll be reduced to some kind of, you know, mumbling idiot.
01:12:56.260
When you mention improvements, does that mean ultimately you want to get involved in the criminal justice system?
01:13:02.200
Yes, I intend to complete my legal education and become a lawyer and be a damn good lawyer.
01:13:15.360
You know, it can cause some of a doubt, you know, because he does have a good, clean image on the on the, you know, at face value.
01:13:24.760
Testify or not is one of the only things the defendant has the sole decision making power over.
01:13:30.780
And Ted, of course, ignored the vice and testified and was the worst witness in the world.
01:13:37.220
So he testified in his own trial, which, quite frankly, guys, stupid, very stupid to do that.
01:13:49.080
And that's the way he came across on the stand.
01:13:52.920
At the trial, Durant picked out Bundy as her abductor.
01:13:57.400
So she positively identifies him during the trial.
01:14:06.220
Ted thought he could lie about everything and get away with it.
01:14:12.500
It's pretty hard to explain why you drive around with an ice pick and a pantyhose mask.
01:14:27.960
Now, I also want to make a note of this, guys, that this was not a jury trial.
01:14:35.500
So the judge had sole discretion on on the entire case.
01:14:42.800
And he also had pretty, you know, pretty large stake with, you know, helping his defense team, you know, come up with things.
01:14:47.720
And he put himself on the stand, which is, quite frankly, very unorthodox and not in your best interest.
01:14:52.460
Most defense attorneys, 99 percent of the time, almost never want to put their their defendant on the stand.
01:14:57.560
And the reason for that, guys, because the prosecution can cross examine you when the prosecution cross examine you.
01:15:02.260
They can ask you questions, trip you up, et cetera.
01:15:04.960
And that could put you in a bad predicament, you know, because sometimes sometimes guys.
01:15:09.440
Well, most of the time, actually, no statement is better than any statement.
01:15:13.160
Because anything can be used against you in the court of law.
01:15:25.120
He was going to be headed to a Utah state prison.
01:15:44.440
But he has has some dirty laundry out there in Colorado to include a couple of murders.
01:15:49.740
Here are the kidnap assault of a young woman from Salt Lake City.
01:15:52.980
After Bundy's convicted of the kidnapping of Harold Deroch.
01:15:57.440
Detectives have found evidence linking him to the murder of Karen Campbell.
01:16:04.160
So now the walls are starting to close in on your boy.
01:16:08.240
Well, 1975, Karen Campbell disappeared from the Wildwood Inn.
01:16:13.140
Hairs in his Volkswagen bug were of victims from Colorado and Utah.
01:16:19.200
And that gave them enough evidence to file on him in Colorado with a first degree murder and kidnapping charge.
01:16:24.460
So they find hair fibers and they're able to use that, guys, as evidence to effectively link them.
01:16:29.000
Now, remember, guys, there wasn't really DNA like that back then in the 70s.
01:16:32.440
But they were able to match up hair fibers, which, you know, was their forensic evidence back then.
01:16:40.780
So they were able to at least put him with him during that time, because how else would have if he was allegedly in Utah the whole time?
01:16:48.160
How why would he have a woman from Colorado's hair in his vehicle?
01:17:00.480
Some crazy shit's about to go down here, guys, now in Aspen, Colorado.
01:17:03.440
So they drag his ass back from jail while he's in Utah facing that 15 years for the kidnapping.
01:17:09.700
Now he's getting now they're handed with murder in Colorado.
01:17:21.060
We sat in this narrow cell and did the interview.
01:17:27.620
This is a famous interview, guys, from back then.
01:17:30.780
And I want you guys to pay attention to how Bundy responds to the questions, you know, his demeanor, his tonality, how he puts himself in a certain light to be looked at as an innocent individual and how much he denies the dark allegations against him.
01:17:52.220
Does that include the time I stole a comic book when I was five years old?
01:17:56.880
I'm not guilty of the territories which have been filed against me.
01:17:59.560
He has such a pleasant, thoughtful, calm demeanor.
01:18:06.040
He's the most pleasant killer I've ever interviewed.
01:18:11.000
I mean, we all have transgressed in some way in our lives.
01:18:14.200
I've been impolite and there are things I regret having done in my life, but nothing like the things I think that you're referring to.
01:18:24.820
The creeps kind of grew on me when he talked about feeling for the family.
01:18:38.940
I was able to talk about this with a straight face.
01:18:40.960
You know, the parents of these girls are fairly decent people.
01:18:47.840
And I really feel for them because apparently they suffered some incredible tragedy in their lives.
01:19:01.100
But if you look at the video, he clearly is believing him, right?
01:19:03.640
Look at the look of approval that your boy is giving him right there.
01:19:26.680
I don't like being locked up for something I didn't do.
01:19:32.680
And I don't like people walking around and ogling me like I'm some sort of weirdo.
01:20:09.600
So, guys, just want to make this very clear for y'all.
01:20:16.020
So what that does is it affords him certain privileges and accesses that a regular inmate would never get.
01:20:26.040
He's able to kind of roam around and make phone calls.
01:20:28.360
He's able to research his own case and research legal documents so that he can better fight his case.
01:20:35.200
So there was a method to the madness here, even though this is almost never recommended by any astute attorney for you to represent yourself.
01:20:42.120
But let's see what he's able to do with this privilege and use it to his advantage.
01:20:47.620
So he walked about the courtroom and back into the law library as a free man.
01:20:52.760
Over the months, I've noticed a number of opportunities to just walk right out.
01:20:57.820
I thought a great deal about escape, and I didn't know if I had the guts to do it, quite frankly.
01:21:12.140
The picture of him coming into the building that morning, and he's got a really concentrated look on his face.
01:21:24.500
You can see right here, multiple layers of clothing.
01:21:26.640
This is a very famous, iconic photo, by the way, as well.
01:21:29.960
On the outside, so he was planning to go that day.
01:21:46.540
The windows were open, and the fresh air is blowing through, and the sky was blue.
01:22:03.720
Honest to God, I just got sick and tired of being locked up.
01:22:08.180
He was gone about 10 minutes before anyone realized he came out and shouted, Bundy escaped.
01:22:15.900
And just so you guys know, he had been training in his cell for a while, jumping off the top of his bunk several times to plan for this so that he wouldn't hurt himself.
01:22:25.200
But he ended up spraining his ankle when he did this.
01:22:30.660
But he was practicing for this, and he was mapping it out in his head how he would do this.
01:22:34.780
That's why he was able to wear another layer of clothing underneath.
01:22:39.060
He timed it when he would jump out, when the guard wasn't looking.
01:22:44.540
So he did better on the jump than if you hadn't been practicing for it.
01:22:48.100
But he had been, you know, training his mind to be prepared to be on the run for a while.
01:22:57.620
Reporters ran to the courthouse in Aspen because this was such a big deal.
01:23:04.200
Bundy jumped out of this second story window at the front of the Pitkin County Courthouse this morning.
01:23:08.640
He was scheduled for a court appearance and apparently had been locked into the law library by sheriff's deputies.
01:23:14.260
At both ends of town, the sheriff's department put up roadblocks.
01:23:16.940
And they were warning people, if you see this man, be sure and call the police.
01:23:23.020
Oh, about 1030 this morning when he jumped from the window.
01:23:27.420
And there's only two roads that let you out of Aspen, guys.
01:23:31.180
So it was very difficult for him to kind of get to escape, right?
01:23:36.000
Because they basically, every single car that was coming in and out, they were like screening it.
01:23:39.540
Well, especially cars going out because there's only two ways into Aspen.
01:23:42.720
And then he went up to the mountains in Aspen and he broke into a cabin.
01:23:48.540
Bundy said he walked into Aspen, took this car, which was unlocked and had the keys in the ignition.
01:23:53.380
He drives through downtown Aspen in a Cadillac.
01:24:02.640
But just so you guys know, the reason why he goes back is because he was out in the wilderness, guys, for days.
01:24:06.640
He ended up making it to a cabin and finding some food there, sleeping there.
01:24:13.520
It rained a couple of times while he was there, right?
01:24:16.560
Remember, guys, he's in freaking Colorado, right?
01:24:20.680
You know, if you don't have chapstick in Colorado, you're going to suffer.
01:24:28.400
So at this point, he's like, bro, I don't have food.
01:24:36.840
He lost about 25 pounds in those six days, by the way, guys, as well.
01:24:40.600
So he goes back into town in a vehicle trying to get food.
01:24:43.540
He takes the risk because he's, at this point, delirious.
01:24:56.800
And look at how gaunt he is, guys, after they catch him again, right?
01:25:00.180
And there's the actual officer that pulled him over.
01:25:08.180
You can see him grinning when he's been captured.
01:25:12.940
He always acted like he pulled one over on everybody.
01:25:17.660
He was moved to a facility in Glenwood Springs.
01:25:22.840
I was one of the staff photographers at the Seattle Times.
01:25:26.080
I was given a chance to photograph this fellow named Ted.
01:25:30.360
He had shackles on and I could lay on the floor.
01:25:33.760
He's out here doing photo shoots with your boy Ted Bundy, right?
01:25:41.860
You got this guy who might be the killer in multiple states.
01:25:47.400
People don't really know if he's the killer or not.
01:25:56.540
You know, he's charismatic with the cameras and everything else like that.
01:26:00.880
Guys, this was the talk of the town back in the 70s, man.
01:26:05.760
This was, I would say, probably back then for those times,
01:26:09.460
this was probably even bigger than O.J. Simpson because it was interstate.
01:26:17.080
was this the guy behind several murders in different states all along the Pacific Northwest?
01:26:23.680
So, yeah, they're doing a photo shoot with the fucking dude.
01:26:26.740
And you guys are going to see this later on in his other trial.
01:26:29.580
And photograph him in all kinds of different ways.
01:26:36.000
This is him representing himself doing his own legal research.
01:26:46.880
But in his own mind, I'm not going to be here for long.
01:26:50.620
There was a grate in the ceiling that was not secured.
01:26:59.960
fast forwarding a little bit to December 30th, 1977.
01:27:04.900
This is going to be not one, but his second escape, guys.
01:27:10.000
And the way that he did this was actually very, very intelligent.
01:27:13.480
It was a light fixture that was due to be welded.
01:27:24.900
And he lost 20 pounds to be able to get through that hole.
01:27:39.280
I would think this would have come to the attention of the jailers, perhaps.
01:27:48.980
to make it look as if there were a body in the bed.
01:27:53.000
And just so y'all know, the night before, right, December 29th,
01:27:56.240
the jailer, the prison guard, dropped his food off and left, right?
01:28:00.800
Because obviously, you know, they're on the skeleton crew.
01:28:06.500
This is typically how it is when you work for the state or the government.
01:28:10.700
So they drop the food off, gets the hell out of there, right?
01:28:12.940
Next thing you know, they come in the next morning
01:28:19.340
So they look in the cell and they see that the bed, right?
01:28:25.380
So they go ahead and they open up the cell door
01:28:28.400
and they go and they realize, holy shit, it's his books.
01:28:32.160
So that bought him a little bit more time, you know,
01:28:34.420
for them to eventually find out where the hell he was.
01:28:36.920
So the guy had cut a hole out at the top and escaped through the roof.
01:28:45.960
A big enough opening in the ceiling of his cell.
01:28:48.320
He lost so much weight that he was able to wriggle through.
01:28:51.160
He called through the ducting, just like in a movie.
01:29:01.280
And he goes into one of the jailer's apartment, right?
01:29:10.660
And he gets out into the night and he's free again.
01:29:16.220
They woke up in Glenwood Springs and discovered that Bundy had escaped
01:29:24.400
Because, again, the only reason they even paid attention was because
01:29:28.080
So he had left that evening, guys, on December 29th.
01:29:38.660
Did you think it was possible to get out this way?
01:29:40.920
We've eliminated what we felt at that time in the possible escape route from the roof.
01:29:47.860
These Keystone cops, as the paper would refer to them as,
01:29:59.160
And just so y'all know, this is a massive L, bro.
01:30:01.520
Anyone that works in the prison system already knows.
01:30:13.380
I mean, they got to just kind of, you know, deal with the cake on their face
01:30:17.860
But at this point, you know, he's escaped in civilian clothing.
01:30:22.700
And then on top of that, it's Ted fucking Bundy.
01:30:27.820
Like we said before, he was able to hide in plain sight what sets the stage
01:30:32.420
for the next chapter in this serial killer's spree.
01:30:40.560
People should be very careful, should check on their neighbors, make sure their cars are
01:30:48.460
So now, where the hell did Ted Bundy go after this?
01:30:54.660
He also caught a college football game as well while he was up there.
01:31:17.720
I forget which, but he did catch a college football game while he was up there as well,
01:31:24.380
He ended up going to Atlanta as well in between getting to Florida.
01:31:27.940
So he had a couple of major cities, guys, while he was on the run from Colorado.
01:31:36.020
With a new identity, he rented a room in the Oaks Lodging House in the heart of the Florida
01:31:44.020
After 18 months of imprisonment, Bundy's scheming had paid off.
01:31:53.760
He'd made fools of the law and was finally free.
01:32:01.500
Serial killers love being at the heart of the drama that's unfolding around them.
01:32:07.240
No one cares what this criminologist is going to say.
01:32:09.000
We're going to fast forward here a little bit to the murders, guys.
01:32:20.540
OK, this is a very important date for the Bundy timeline.
01:32:27.240
Just one week after arriving in Tallahassee, Ted Bundy struck again.
01:32:44.940
And on his way to Florida, he stopped in several states.
01:32:55.620
And the reason why he picked Florida, guys, is because it was on the other side of the country.
01:33:01.320
And another reason, too, guys, and I read this as well.
01:33:04.580
He picked Florida because it would be cheaper for him to kind of move around undetected because in a warmer state, he didn't have to rely so much on having a lot of clothes, moving around with a lot of stuff.
01:33:15.640
So Florida afforded him a little bit more anonymity.
01:33:18.100
And then on top of that, it was the other side of the country.
01:33:19.940
Remember, guys, the world was not as connected back in 1978 as it is now.
01:33:24.080
OK, Bundy was famous, right, obviously, in the Pacific Northwest and that entire area over there.
01:33:30.620
But in Florida, you know, though he was in the news, it wasn't to the same degree.
01:33:35.160
OK, so that afforded him a little bit more anonymity so that he would be able to move, change his name and be able to kind of operate.
01:33:42.060
And remember, he's still a normal looking guy, et cetera.
01:33:43.720
So it allowed him to go over there to the panhandle area of the great state of Florida.
01:33:55.280
A young woman named Nita Neri was returning to her sorority house.
01:34:07.560
Carrying what appeared to be a stick in his hand.
01:34:15.240
So the girl comes in from a date and she sees a fucking guy like like running out of the house.
01:34:31.560
And what she's about to find out is about to make a very grisly discovery, my friends.
01:34:36.720
President, when Karen Chandler walked out of her room, he turned to Karen and said, did you see and realize that the Karen was bleeding?
01:34:45.920
Jim Sewell was a sergeant and assistant to the chief of police when his phone rang that night.
01:34:55.660
The dispatcher called and said, Sarge, we've got two dead and two died.
01:35:03.980
Sewell was the first plainclothed officer on the scene.
01:35:06.780
When I got to the house upstairs, I went into Bowman's room.
01:35:12.820
Margaret Bowman had been strangled and was dead upon review by our officers.
01:35:19.380
A nylon stocking was tied tightly around Margaret Bowman's neck.
01:35:23.280
And remember, guys, what does he do with the nylon stockings?
01:35:26.360
He had that in his kit when he was caught back in Utah.
01:35:31.000
She'd been clubbed with a branch so hard that her skull had been shattered.
01:35:36.780
It was everything you think about a beating victim, what she would say.
01:35:42.880
Across the hall, another victim was discovered.
01:35:46.920
Lisa Levy, she had also been beaten and it appeared to be strangled.
01:35:51.800
Yeah, I don't know why they're saying a branch guy.
01:35:54.320
It was more like a log, like a heavy-ass log is what he beat them both with.
01:35:58.280
And that's what the witness saw him running out of the home with.
01:36:04.540
He had, like, the stockings on his head as well.
01:36:09.640
Year-old Lisa Levy was in bed, dead, lying on her side.
01:36:24.500
Lisa had also been bitten on the breast and on the buttocks.
01:36:29.380
Okay, guys, that's going to end up becoming a big piece of evidence later on.
01:36:35.300
So he bites one of the victims in the butt and on the breast, okay?
01:36:41.060
And one of them actually is a double bite mark on the buttocks, okay?
01:36:44.140
That's going to be a key piece of evidence later on.
01:36:47.260
So he goes into the sorority house and kills two women, sexually assaults one of them,
01:36:55.680
Two more girls, Karen Chandler and Kathy Kleiner, had also been bludgeoned.
01:37:04.160
All that built-up feelings burst out in a shark frenzy in that sorority house.
01:37:16.400
The serial murderer doesn't have boundaries, so it's as if a trigger is set off,
01:37:23.060
and they become not angry, they become rageful.
01:37:30.560
So this is his first chance to finally enact on his wild fantasies of attacking what?
01:37:38.460
You know, to our knowledge, right, he didn't commit any of these murders while he was traveling
01:37:42.720
to the United States trying to get away from Colorado while he was on the run,
01:37:45.380
but this is his first confirmed killings since being out of prison.
01:37:50.720
So he'd been in jail for damn near a year and a half, so he's going crazy, guys,
01:37:54.380
which obviously goes to show the callousness, the brazen attitude towards it,
01:37:58.340
the lack of regard, the reckless disregard for human life and for his own ability to evade detection.
01:38:06.900
I haven't killed someone in a while, and he just acts crazy, all right,
01:38:14.180
To the point that when you see the viciousness of the killings that they commit,
01:38:21.120
You think, well, how could this mild-mannered person do such horrendous things to another person,
01:38:29.560
It had been just two weeks since Bundy had escaped from Colorado.
01:38:40.260
Okay, so this is going to get into the Kimberly Leach murder,
01:38:50.900
which I'm going to cover that for y'all as well,
01:38:55.000
but we're going to go ahead and go right into the trial, how he got caught, okay?
01:39:01.180
However, just so you guys know, he ended up killing a 12-year-old girl, okay?
01:39:05.180
After the sorority attacks, he ends up killing a 12-year-old girl
01:39:11.620
and I'll get into that case as well because it's its own other trial,
01:39:15.600
But he gets caught after the Kimberly Leach murder and goes to trial,
01:39:26.960
He ends up getting arrested, all right, in Pensacola, Florida.
01:39:30.920
The killer that had left a trail of bodies across America
01:39:35.720
had come out of the shadows, but he wasn't going down without a fight.
01:39:43.780
and this is your boy right here, right, Ted Bundy.
01:39:51.460
which I'm actually going to show you guys real fast.
01:39:56.040
So he gets arrested, right, in Pensacola, Florida.
01:40:02.780
They wanted him, like, gone because at this point,
01:40:05.840
with all the other crimes all over the Pacific Northwest.
01:40:08.380
So they're like, yo, you're going to die in Florida.
01:40:34.520
So he tries to write this off as a political move from the sheriff.
01:40:38.760
Because he purposely walks him out in front of all the cameras, right?
01:40:53.220
Theodore Robert Bundy, you are charged indictment, two counts burglary,
01:41:00.800
three counts attempted murder in the first degree.
01:41:05.120
Design or intent to affect the death of said Lisa Lee.
01:41:08.420
My chance to talk to press contrary to Section 78204, Florida Statute.
01:41:13.020
I'll plead not guilty right now, and your grand jurisdiction...
01:41:19.220
and that's where that famous hand sign comes up where he holds his hand up.
01:41:29.600
and he had murdered those two girls at the sorority house
01:41:33.760
which will cover the Leach case here in a second,
01:41:37.600
He goes on trial for the sorority murders first.
01:42:01.340
The public would have to prepare themselves for a new Bundy.
01:42:08.340
He makes himself like co-counsel on this one, guys, as well.
01:42:11.600
Takes a more active role in his own investigation.
01:42:43.880
Bundy's trials were among the first to be televised,
01:42:47.000
and his notoriety turned them into a media circus.
01:43:04.320
as well as I think 30 to 40 different countries
01:43:49.480
he was, he could have been the person next door.
01:44:48.660
And studies have actually shown this too, guys,
01:47:29.280
that there wasn't a brighter attorney out there,
01:48:30.060
So one of the state's main piece of evidence, guys,
01:48:33.940
was they brought in a forensic odontist, essentially.
