Personality # 1, Ted Bundy

Loving (church going) family
Married (in jail)
College graduate, law student,
politically ambitious, rape counselor.
Respected and admired by (most) who

Personality # 2, Lady Killer
Chose victims who looked like
his ex girlfriend.
Crimes spanned four states
Escaped from jail to resume
his killing spree
Protested his innocence until
he was sentenced to death,
when he showed remorse.
Outcome
Bundy managed to escape detection by pure fluke several
times before finally being caught for attempted kidnapping.
His previous flukes were due to his reputation as an
upstanding citizen, and his charm. After he was imprisoned
for kidnapping, while awaiting extradition to face other charges
he escaped and went on a further killing spree. This time he
was seen trying to abduct a school girl, a few days later he
was arrested again and sentenced to death. Hours before his
execution he gave an interview, where he accepted
responsibility for his crimes and wished to inform the public of
the encouragement he had from pornographic material, saying
it was an addiction that he constantly needed harder and more
until he finally acted his fantasies out.
In Summary…
This lecture has shown that no one is safe from serial killers,
however, thankfully they are rare.
They target either young or old, or both.
They target men, women, boys and girls.
They do not have any identifying features.
They do not look like they are serial killers.
Quite often they are respected members of the community.
In the words of Ted Bundy: we are your husbands, your
fathers, your sons, your mothers, your daughters.
The truth is that we only know people as well as they want us
to know them.
