1
00:00:07,299 --> 00:00:08,839
Well, they're still
looking for murder suspect

2
00:00:08,884 --> 00:00:11,104
Theodore Bundy,
who celebrated New Year's Eve

3
00:00:11,137 --> 00:00:15,267
by escaping from
a Colorado jail.

4
00:00:15,349 --> 00:00:18,189
Bundy's escape
bordered on a Houdini escapade.

5
00:00:18,227 --> 00:00:21,897
The 5'11", 145-pound
former law student

6
00:00:21,939 --> 00:00:25,149
ripped out a light fixture
and steel grating in the ceiling

7
00:00:25,192 --> 00:00:26,862
and then manoeuvred
himself up through

8
00:00:26,902 --> 00:00:29,532
a 12-inch by 12-inch
hole in the ceiling.

9
00:00:29,572 --> 00:00:31,072
Ground units,
helicopters, and dogs

10
00:00:31,115 --> 00:00:32,865
have been searching for Bundy.

11
00:00:32,908 --> 00:00:33,948
Roadblocks have been set up

12
00:00:33,993 --> 00:00:36,043
around the town of
Glenwood Springs,

13
00:00:36,078 --> 00:00:38,498
and an all-points bulletin
has been issued.

14
00:00:38,539 --> 00:00:39,789
If Bundy
is ever recaptured,

15
00:00:39,832 --> 00:00:42,212
the Colorado prosecution
will continue

16
00:00:42,293 --> 00:00:44,673
and he could be prosecuted
for one of the Utah murders

17
00:00:44,712 --> 00:00:46,712
before this thing
is all over with.

18
00:00:46,756 --> 00:00:48,046
But for the moment,

19
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:51,140
Theodore Bundy is merely
an escaped convicted kidnapper

20
00:00:51,177 --> 00:00:56,767
and now one of the FBI's
most wanted men.

21
00:00:56,807 --> 00:00:59,387
My dreams at
this time were extremely vivid.

22
00:01:03,397 --> 00:01:05,937
A lot of times
they centred around my daughter.

23
00:01:08,444 --> 00:01:11,614
Things like she was
either really injured

24
00:01:11,655 --> 00:01:15,325
or she was really sick
and I needed help,

25
00:01:15,367 --> 00:01:17,197
and the police told me
that they wouldn't help me

26
00:01:17,244 --> 00:01:19,374
because I wouldn't
help them before,

27
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:21,173
and I was like,
"But here's my...

28
00:01:21,207 --> 00:01:24,377
"My little girl needs help,"
and they said, "Sorry."

29
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:26,748
And it was just...
it was just awful.

30
00:01:26,796 --> 00:01:28,296
I'd have to like
lay in bed and think,

31
00:01:28,339 --> 00:01:31,679
"Did this happen,
or was this a dream?"

32
00:01:31,717 --> 00:01:34,217
Like, I dreamt one night
that I had helped Ted

33
00:01:34,261 --> 00:01:36,561
bury the first victim,

34
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:40,727
and I said that if he promised
to never do it again,

35
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:42,138
I would forgive him.

36
00:01:42,186 --> 00:01:43,396
It's just like
I woke up thinking,

37
00:01:43,437 --> 00:01:47,437
"My god, what's
my subconscious doing?"

38
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:25,477
Here in Houston,
35 new astronauts

39
00:02:25,521 --> 00:02:28,151
have now officially joined
the space program.

40
00:02:28,190 --> 00:02:31,030
Ahead for some of America's
first six women in space

41
00:02:31,068 --> 00:02:33,948
will be diverse missions,
such as...

42
00:02:33,988 --> 00:02:35,448
Is there
any particular experiment

43
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:36,909
in the program designed
to take advantage

44
00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:38,659
of the fact that
you are a woman?

45
00:02:38,701 --> 00:02:40,661
I don't really know
exactly what experiments

46
00:02:40,703 --> 00:02:42,963
are planned for any of
the shuttle missions,

47
00:02:42,997 --> 00:02:47,787
but as far as the accommodations
and the training,

48
00:02:47,835 --> 00:02:49,835
we're all astronauts,

49
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:52,209
and we're not distinguished
whether we're male or female.

50
00:02:53,257 --> 00:02:55,127
Astronaut Resnik
got here early,

51
00:02:55,175 --> 00:02:58,595
and is flown back seat
of the T-38 jet trainer.

52
00:02:58,637 --> 00:03:00,557
So almost 20 years after
the first astronauts

53
00:03:00,598 --> 00:03:04,388
were chosen, NASA finally has
women and black astronauts.

54
00:03:04,435 --> 00:03:06,095
There'll be flying aboard
the space shuttle

55
00:03:06,145 --> 00:03:07,515
in two years.

56
00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:09,983
This is Jules Bergman,
ABC News...

57
00:03:10,024 --> 00:03:12,614
...the rather
amazing story of Mr. Bundy.

58
00:03:12,651 --> 00:03:15,111
But law enforcement officials
here were confident

59
00:03:15,154 --> 00:03:18,994
that Bundy would be found
again sooner or later.

60
00:03:19,033 --> 00:03:21,333
This is Sandy Gilmour,
Newswatch 2,

61
00:03:21,368 --> 00:03:23,748
in Glenwood Springs,
Colorado.

62
00:03:23,787 --> 00:03:25,247
He rambled
around a little bit.

63
00:03:25,289 --> 00:03:27,749
He went to Chicago
and then he went to Michigan.

64
00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:31,841
He watched the Rose Bowl
game in a bar in Ann Arbor,

65
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:35,929
when he cheered for UW
and got roaring drunk, he said.

66
00:03:37,801 --> 00:03:39,261
You know,
I was a teenager

67
00:03:39,303 --> 00:03:40,473
when he was arrested,

68
00:03:40,512 --> 00:03:43,222
and I didn't really see
the escaping as him

69
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:45,725
being full-on guilty,
'cause, you know,

70
00:03:45,768 --> 00:03:47,768
I mean, I was a kid;
I was just being stupid

71
00:03:47,811 --> 00:03:51,191
and naive, you know,
I was thinking...

72
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,571
like the...
the Fugitive story.

73
00:03:53,609 --> 00:03:56,239
Richard Kimball ran away
to find the real killer,

74
00:03:56,278 --> 00:03:59,448
you know, probably
what I was thinking.

75
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:00,780
And at the same time,
I was...

76
00:04:00,824 --> 00:04:02,704
A part of me was
blocking it out going,

77
00:04:02,743 --> 00:04:06,373
"Dude, whatever it is,
pssht...

78
00:04:06,413 --> 00:04:07,873
"You can't do
nothing about it.

79
00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:09,625
"Don't let it
ruin your life."

80
00:04:09,667 --> 00:04:12,207
You know, it was part of me
trying to protect myself

81
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:13,552
from all the pain,
but I just said,

82
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:15,377
"Man, just go outside
and ride your skateboard."

83
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:17,132
"Fuck him,"
you know?

84
00:04:17,174 --> 00:04:20,594
"If he's guilty, then...
scumbag gets what he gets."

85
00:04:20,636 --> 00:04:21,636
You know?

86
00:04:34,984 --> 00:04:37,574
I knew a few of
the girls beforehand.

87
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:39,781
Um, I didn't know
all of them, of course,

88
00:04:39,822 --> 00:04:41,782
and I knew girls
at other houses as well,

89
00:04:41,824 --> 00:04:45,494
but there was just something
that drew me to Chi Omega.

90
00:04:45,536 --> 00:04:49,116
In sororities, you tend
to become a family.

91
00:04:49,164 --> 00:04:50,584
You form a sisterhood

92
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:53,134
and you become friends
with these girls.

93
00:04:53,168 --> 00:04:55,048
I think more so
than other sororities,

94
00:04:55,087 --> 00:04:57,627
we were a little bit different.

95
00:04:57,673 --> 00:05:00,683
The girls had their own
desires and wishes,

96
00:05:00,718 --> 00:05:02,338
and they weren't
all the same.

97
00:05:02,386 --> 00:05:04,846
So we were definitely
not a cookie-cutter

98
00:05:04,888 --> 00:05:07,928
kind of organization.

99
00:05:07,975 --> 00:05:10,595
Lisa was so honoured
to be a student

100
00:05:10,644 --> 00:05:13,904
at Florida State University,
and just so happy to be there.

101
00:05:16,984 --> 00:05:21,664
She taught me
how to do a line dance.

102
00:05:21,697 --> 00:05:23,277
She had the hardest time

103
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:25,203
teaching me how to
do this line dance.

104
00:05:25,242 --> 00:05:27,752
Now, I had had years of
ballroom dance training.

105
00:05:27,786 --> 00:05:31,246
I had, at that point, I think
18 years of ballet training,

106
00:05:31,290 --> 00:05:33,790
but I could not get
this line dance down,

107
00:05:33,834 --> 00:05:36,094
and she was
so patient with me.

108
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:38,168
But through the course of her
teaching and instructing me,

109
00:05:38,213 --> 00:05:40,173
we would just
crack up laughing.

110
00:05:46,096 --> 00:05:47,596
We had gone to bed.

111
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:51,059
I don't recall what
it was that stirred me.

112
00:05:51,101 --> 00:05:52,941
I just, 
for whatever reason,

113
00:05:52,978 --> 00:05:56,688
went immediately to Lisa's room
and opened the door and went in.

114
00:05:56,732 --> 00:05:57,782
There she was.

115
00:05:57,816 --> 00:05:59,186
You know, she was
covered in blood.

116
00:05:59,234 --> 00:06:00,904
She was absolutely
covered in blood.

117
00:06:00,944 --> 00:06:03,494
And she was moaning.

118
00:06:03,530 --> 00:06:05,570
And I, you know,
reached out to her,

119
00:06:05,616 --> 00:06:07,736
and she was touching her mouth,

120
00:06:07,785 --> 00:06:09,615
and to this day,
I, you know,

121
00:06:09,661 --> 00:06:11,291
I have that memory of her.

122
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:15,293
Four young women
were beaten with a club

123
00:06:15,334 --> 00:06:17,634
and two of them were strangled
to death last night

124
00:06:17,669 --> 00:06:19,339
by a man who found
his victims

125
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:22,219
sleeping in this sorority house
on the Tallahassee Campus

126
00:06:22,257 --> 00:06:24,087
of Florida State University.

127
00:06:24,134 --> 00:06:26,434
A man was seen leaving
the house with a club,

128
00:06:26,470 --> 00:06:27,680
and another co-ed was beaten...

129
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:29,351
Um, I still have
the image in my mind,

130
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:31,729
and I still, you know,
care for her deeply,

131
00:06:31,767 --> 00:06:34,557
and I just wish I
could've done something.

132
00:06:34,603 --> 00:06:35,983
The killer
came in from the night

133
00:06:36,021 --> 00:06:37,311
and then returned to it

134
00:06:37,356 --> 00:06:40,186
with an ease that has
so far baffled police

135
00:06:40,234 --> 00:06:43,034
and left most co-eds
here terrified.

136
00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:45,030
He clubbed and then
strangled to death

137
00:06:45,072 --> 00:06:48,582
20-year-old Lisa Levy
and 21-year-old Margaret Bowman.

138
00:06:48,617 --> 00:06:50,487
At least one of
them was raped.

139
00:06:50,536 --> 00:06:52,996
Then he brutally beat
three more sleeping co-eds,

140
00:06:53,038 --> 00:06:55,368
Karen Chandler
and Kathy Kleiner.

141
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:57,285
Cheryl Anne Thomas
was severely beaten

142
00:06:57,334 --> 00:06:59,924
in her apartment
six blocks away.

143
00:06:59,962 --> 00:07:01,922
I think
there was this thought

144
00:07:01,964 --> 00:07:03,764
that as long as you
didn't do harm to another

145
00:07:03,799 --> 00:07:05,589
or put yourself
in a bad situation

146
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:09,264
that you could not be harmed.

147
00:07:12,558 --> 00:07:15,188
And in fact, these
were totally innocent women

148
00:07:15,227 --> 00:07:17,307
that were, you know,
unjustly attacked,

149
00:07:17,354 --> 00:07:19,404
and two lives were taken.

150
00:07:23,485 --> 00:07:25,775
I always
took my newspaper

151
00:07:25,821 --> 00:07:27,611
on my morning break,

152
00:07:27,656 --> 00:07:29,826
and when I was
reading the paper,

153
00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:33,447
I saw this photograph
of a young woman

154
00:07:33,495 --> 00:07:36,075
peering out from
behind a curtain

155
00:07:36,123 --> 00:07:39,793
at the Chi Omega
Sorority House in Florida,

156
00:07:39,835 --> 00:07:41,955
and I had this
really bad feeling

157
00:07:42,004 --> 00:07:46,724
that it might be
the work of Ted.

158
00:07:46,758 --> 00:07:48,758
The front door
of the Chi Omega House

159
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:50,472
was not only locked today,

160
00:07:50,512 --> 00:07:52,852
a policeman stood guard
on the other side.

161
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:55,930
We knew we had somebody
who was in a rage,

162
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:57,556
somebody who wanted to murder,

163
00:07:57,603 --> 00:08:00,193
somebody who was
capable of brutality

164
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:04,030
like I had never seen before,
and I had seen a lot.

165
00:08:04,067 --> 00:08:05,647
Blood-stained
bedsheets

166
00:08:05,694 --> 00:08:07,994
and numerous bags of other
evidence were prepared...

167
00:08:08,030 --> 00:08:11,910
As I was leaving the
Chi Omega House after daybreak,

168
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:13,540
I got a phone call,

169
00:08:13,577 --> 00:08:16,997
and it was investigators
from out west

170
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:18,329
telling me that,
you know,

171
00:08:18,373 --> 00:08:22,633
had you thought about the
possibility it was Ted Bundy?

172
00:08:22,669 --> 00:08:26,089
I said, "Well, you know,
this isn't his kind of crime."

173
00:08:26,131 --> 00:08:29,221
This was a mass murder
all in one location in a house,

174
00:08:29,259 --> 00:08:32,389
and there is nothing
in Ted Bundy's history

175
00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:35,599
to indicate that he would
operate in that manner.

176
00:08:35,641 --> 00:08:38,981
So I wrote his name down
because they gave it to me,

177
00:08:39,019 --> 00:08:42,309
but I did not
and could not fathom

178
00:08:42,356 --> 00:08:44,856
that he made his way
to Tallahassee

179
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:47,030
and then changed
his M.O. completely

180
00:08:47,069 --> 00:08:48,859
and did something like this.

181
00:08:51,365 --> 00:08:53,865
He was looking
for a college campus.

182
00:08:53,909 --> 00:08:54,989
That's where
he felt comfortable.

183
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:58,615
That's where
he wanted to operate.

184
00:08:58,664 --> 00:09:00,084
It's a migratory store,

185
00:09:00,123 --> 00:09:02,923
almost like an animal
migrating somewhere

186
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,540
in search of a place to settle,

187
00:09:04,586 --> 00:09:07,256
in search of a place to--
in search of prey.

188
00:09:07,297 --> 00:09:10,627
I mean, it's very...
it's very primal.

189
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:20,980
And then he stole
a Florida State University van,

190
00:09:21,019 --> 00:09:24,649
changed plates on it, again
trying to cover his tracks,

191
00:09:24,690 --> 00:09:27,030
and trolled over a hundred
miles over to Lake City,

192
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:28,817
this small little town.

193
00:09:31,113 --> 00:09:32,663
That little
12-year-old Kimberly Leach.

194
00:09:32,698 --> 00:09:34,908
I mean...

195
00:09:34,950 --> 00:09:37,410
this girl in middle school
walking along,

196
00:09:37,452 --> 00:09:39,872
and he takes her, and...

197
00:09:39,913 --> 00:09:43,133
found her in a hog shed
or whatever that was.

198
00:09:45,460 --> 00:09:47,840
12 years old.

199
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:49,299
A child.

200
00:09:54,386 --> 00:09:55,796
She looked
like a 12-year-old.

201
00:09:55,846 --> 00:09:58,466
She didn't look--
you know, she wasn't--

202
00:09:58,515 --> 00:10:00,175
she didn't look older
than her years.

203
00:10:00,225 --> 00:10:01,305
She was a child.

204
00:10:01,351 --> 00:10:03,061
She was taken in front
of her own school.

205
00:10:07,107 --> 00:10:08,777
As a mother,
you're trying

206
00:10:08,817 --> 00:10:12,777
to give your daughters
the best life ever.

207
00:10:12,821 --> 00:10:14,241
But, you know,

208
00:10:14,281 --> 00:10:18,291
what I really brought
into her life was...

209
00:10:18,327 --> 00:10:23,117
rapes and murders
and lies and craziness.

210
00:10:25,709 --> 00:10:28,089
It took me
a long time to take it in,

211
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:31,548
what that means to me.

212
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:34,380
I mean, it was...

213
00:10:34,426 --> 00:10:35,676
It was hurtful

214
00:10:35,719 --> 00:10:40,389
in the same that every single
murder that he committed,

215
00:10:40,432 --> 00:10:42,682
every attack
that he carried out,

216
00:10:42,726 --> 00:10:45,476
was hurtful to me.

217
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:54,364
This girl could be
my twin, you know?

218
00:10:54,404 --> 00:10:56,494
We were the same.

219
00:10:56,531 --> 00:10:59,741
And I really grappled with,

220
00:10:59,785 --> 00:11:02,575
"Does this have anything
to do with me?"

221
00:11:02,621 --> 00:11:05,871
And...

222
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:12,593
That's devastating.

223
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:24,560
The recklessness
of it seems to suggest

224
00:11:24,601 --> 00:11:29,021
that he was careening
towards an end of some kind.

225
00:11:34,945 --> 00:11:37,195
February 15th, 1978,

226
00:11:37,239 --> 00:11:40,329
somewhere around 1:30 am
in the morning,

227
00:11:40,367 --> 00:11:43,787
while on patrol with
the Pensacola Police Department,

228
00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:47,119
I noticed a Volkswagen Bug
coming out of the alleyway

229
00:11:47,165 --> 00:11:49,375
behind Oscar Woerner's
restaurant.

230
00:11:49,418 --> 00:11:51,878
No headlights.

231
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,670
I came up behind him
and activate my blue lights

232
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:58,335
same time I'm running the tag,

233
00:11:58,385 --> 00:12:01,965
and the tag come back
as a stolen vehicle.

234
00:12:02,013 --> 00:12:04,183
I didn't have a backup
anywhere close by.

235
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:06,604
There was only three of us
working the entire city

236
00:12:06,643 --> 00:12:09,483
of Pensacola that night.

237
00:12:09,521 --> 00:12:13,531
I got him out of the car and
had him laying on the pavement.

238
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:15,777
He kept saying,
"Officer, what's wrong?

239
00:12:15,819 --> 00:12:17,399
"Officer, what's wrong?"

240
00:12:17,446 --> 00:12:18,906
Well,
initially when I was putting--

241
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:20,157
placing the handcuffs on him,

242
00:12:20,198 --> 00:12:21,408
he kicked my feet
out from under me

243
00:12:21,450 --> 00:12:23,200
and struck me with a handcuff

244
00:12:23,243 --> 00:12:25,293
that had been placed
on one wrist,

245
00:12:25,328 --> 00:12:26,958
and of course knocked me
off my feet,

246
00:12:26,997 --> 00:12:28,957
and that's when it started.

247
00:12:28,999 --> 00:12:30,209
I was chasing him,

248
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:32,840
hollering "Halt,"
and so forth.

249
00:12:32,878 --> 00:12:34,878
Well, he turned,
and all I seen was a nickel,

250
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:36,971
and thought it was a gun,

251
00:12:37,007 --> 00:12:40,177
so I levelled down
and fired.

252
00:12:40,218 --> 00:12:42,388
So I said, "My god,
I've killed him."

253
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:45,555
And when
I went to see if he was shot,

254
00:12:45,599 --> 00:12:47,519
I bend down,
he grabbed my wrist,

255
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,269
and we had a struggle
for control of my revolver.

256
00:12:50,312 --> 00:12:51,732
And it's a heavy pistol,

257
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:54,111
and when I broke it away,

258
00:12:54,149 --> 00:12:57,149
it swung and slapped him
on the cheek.

259
00:12:57,194 --> 00:13:00,664
And if you see pictures right
after the suspect was arrested,

260
00:13:00,697 --> 00:13:02,567
there's a big bruise
on the side of his cheek,

261
00:13:02,616 --> 00:13:08,366
and that was from
my pistol barrel.

262
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:10,923
There's no doubt in my mind
that he'd have killed me

263
00:13:10,957 --> 00:13:14,037
if he had taken my gun
away from me.

264
00:13:14,085 --> 00:13:17,255
He didn't give us much
information initially.

265
00:13:17,297 --> 00:13:19,667
The driver's licence
that he had

266
00:13:19,716 --> 00:13:24,506
was in the name of
Kenneth Misner.

267
00:13:24,554 --> 00:13:27,724
Norman Chapman was
the detective on call,

268
00:13:27,766 --> 00:13:31,686
and me and Norman
started interview him.

269
00:13:31,728 --> 00:13:33,268
I kept
keying on his eyes.

270
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:36,533
His eyes were alarming to me.

271
00:13:36,566 --> 00:13:39,106
They were deep,
steel-blue eyes,

272
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:41,362
and at first I couldn't
figure out what it was

273
00:13:41,404 --> 00:13:43,244
I was keying on,

274
00:13:43,281 --> 00:13:47,291
but it was his eyes.

275
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:49,287
And it was
also the feeling.

276
00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:51,749
Once I got around him,
I had this feeling

277
00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:53,540
I'd never felt before.

278
00:13:53,583 --> 00:13:56,293
It was a feeling of, um...

279
00:13:56,336 --> 00:13:58,416
I guess the best way
to describe it

280
00:13:58,463 --> 00:14:02,593
was a frustration and doom.

281
00:14:02,634 --> 00:14:04,394
And from then on,
when I got this feeling,

282
00:14:04,427 --> 00:14:07,057
I knew I'd been around somebody
who'd murdered somebody,

283
00:14:07,097 --> 00:14:10,557
not somebody who killed
somebody in self-defence,

284
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,480
somebody who had
murdered somebody.

285
00:14:14,521 --> 00:14:16,861
By this time, everybody
in the investigation is saying,

286
00:14:16,898 --> 00:14:19,398
"Chapman, who do you have?"

287
00:14:19,442 --> 00:14:21,152
And I said,
"Well, I don't know."

288
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:22,494
"Well, how come
you don't know?"

289
00:14:22,529 --> 00:14:24,199
Well, see, we didn't have
computers or anything

290
00:14:24,239 --> 00:14:27,239
back in the 70s.

291
00:14:27,284 --> 00:14:30,414
We had to take him to the
first appearance for the judge.

292
00:14:36,334 --> 00:14:37,674
No, sir.

293
00:14:37,711 --> 00:14:39,751
I thought, sure,
him going before the judge

294
00:14:39,796 --> 00:14:41,626
it did tell who he was.

295
00:14:41,673 --> 00:14:42,673
He said, I ain't tell you.

296
00:14:49,306 --> 00:14:51,596
So the judge refused
to set a bond on him

297
00:14:51,641 --> 00:14:54,191
because he didn't know
who he was.

298
00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:58,227
So I bring him back
to the police station.

299
00:14:58,273 --> 00:15:00,573
His attorneys went in,
talked a few minutes,

300
00:15:00,609 --> 00:15:02,439
and then when
they called me in,

301
00:15:02,485 --> 00:15:06,815
they said he wants to wait
until he contacts some people

302
00:15:06,865 --> 00:15:08,985
before he releases
his identification.

303
00:15:09,034 --> 00:15:12,624
There's some people he wants to
let them know he's in custody.

304
00:15:12,662 --> 00:15:13,832
I says, "Okay."

305
00:15:13,872 --> 00:15:16,122
I says, "I will give him
two hours to call anybody

306
00:15:16,166 --> 00:15:19,876
"he wants to before I put
him back in his cell."

307
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:21,169
I said,
"He gotta call collect,

308
00:15:21,212 --> 00:15:22,592
"because Pensacola
Police Department

309
00:15:22,631 --> 00:15:25,341
"pays for no more
phone calls."

310
00:15:30,555 --> 00:15:32,095
Are you aware that
this interview is being taped?

311
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:33,390
Yes.

312
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:34,813
Is it taped
with your approval?

313
00:15:34,851 --> 00:15:36,351
Yes.

314
00:15:36,394 --> 00:15:37,354
Okay.

315
00:15:37,395 --> 00:15:38,725
Would you describe
the telephone call

316
00:15:38,772 --> 00:15:41,072
that you received
from Ted Bundy?

317
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:42,067
He called collect.

318
00:15:42,108 --> 00:15:45,448
My daughter accepted
the charges.

319
00:15:45,487 --> 00:15:47,067
I told him that he
shouldn't be calling me,

320
00:15:47,113 --> 00:15:48,243
that my phone
had a trap on it,

321
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:50,121
and he said that
he was in custody,

322
00:15:50,158 --> 00:15:52,198
and I asked him where
and he said Florida.

323
00:15:52,243 --> 00:15:54,253
He said-- he repeated
over and over again

324
00:15:54,287 --> 00:15:56,457
that this was really
gonna be bad when it broke,

325
00:15:56,498 --> 00:15:58,288
that it was not gonna break
until tomorrow morning.

326
00:15:58,333 --> 00:16:02,383
It'd be in the press, but
it was gonna be really ugly.

327
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:03,630
And I said,

328
00:16:03,672 --> 00:16:06,012
"I was really afraid that
you might be in that area

329
00:16:06,049 --> 00:16:07,799
"and that you
might have done it."

330
00:16:07,842 --> 00:16:09,722
And he said,

331
00:16:09,761 --> 00:16:11,891
"You know, I can't really
talk to you about things."

332
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:15,520
He said, "I wish I could
sit down and tell you things

333
00:16:15,558 --> 00:16:17,978
"without anybody listening."

334
00:16:18,019 --> 00:16:20,519
And I said, "Are you trying
to tell me that you're sick?"

335
00:16:20,563 --> 00:16:22,233
And he said,
"Back off."

336
00:16:22,273 --> 00:16:24,363
He got really angry.
He said, "Back off."

337
00:16:24,401 --> 00:16:25,821
He says,
"That's not it at all."

338
00:16:25,860 --> 00:16:28,610
And I wasn't--
I was really confused.

339
00:16:28,655 --> 00:16:32,575
Took me a long time to, like,
calm down after that.

340
00:16:32,617 --> 00:16:34,367
Theodore Bundy
came back to Tallahassee

341
00:16:34,411 --> 00:16:37,041
early Sunday morning
in a Pensacola police cruiser

342
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,670
escorted by Leon County
sheriff's deputies.

343
00:16:39,708 --> 00:16:41,748
It was in Tallahassee
that Bundy allegedly stole

344
00:16:41,793 --> 00:16:44,343
21 credit cards,
three sets of identification,

345
00:16:44,379 --> 00:16:45,799
and a Volkswagen.

346
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:47,299
Authorities also
say they can...

347
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:51,260
Saturday morning at 2
he called again, collect,

348
00:16:51,302 --> 00:16:53,302
and he said that
he wanted to talk about

349
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:56,556
what we'd been talking about
on the first phone call.

350
00:16:56,599 --> 00:16:58,689
And I said, "You mean
about being sick?"

351
00:16:58,727 --> 00:16:59,977
And he said, "Yes."

352
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:01,349
Sherriff Ken Katsaris
said investigators

353
00:17:01,396 --> 00:17:04,816
will continue pursuing all leads
in the Chi Omega murders

354
00:17:04,858 --> 00:17:07,818
despite having Bundy
as a prime suspect.

355
00:17:07,861 --> 00:17:11,741
He told me
that he...

356
00:17:11,781 --> 00:17:14,781
he knew now there was something
that he couldn't be around.

357
00:17:14,826 --> 00:17:17,536
And when I asked him what,
he said, "Don't make me say it."

358
00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:23,419
So I knew that he was meaning
young, beautiful women.

359
00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:26,090
He just was
addicted to killing.

360
00:17:28,506 --> 00:17:31,296
And he started
to tell me about this force,

361
00:17:31,342 --> 00:17:34,012
is what he called it,

362
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:36,563
and he said it would just
start building within him,

363
00:17:36,598 --> 00:17:39,978
and he would...

364
00:17:40,018 --> 00:17:41,728
It would take him,
you know, days

365
00:17:41,770 --> 00:17:44,150
before he really acted out.

366
00:17:44,189 --> 00:17:45,689
But once he acted out,

367
00:17:45,732 --> 00:17:50,822
it was just over.

368
00:17:50,862 --> 00:17:52,242
And he mentioned the day

369
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,490
that the two women were abducted
from Lake Sammamish.

370
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:00,115
And he said,
"I remembered when you and I

371
00:18:00,163 --> 00:18:05,753
"went to eat hamburgers
after that, and ice cream."

372
00:18:05,794 --> 00:18:08,514
And he said, "I remembered
what had happened."

373
00:18:08,546 --> 00:18:11,046
He said, "It wasn't like
I'd had a blackout."

374
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,800
And he said, "But it was
just like it was over."

375
00:18:13,843 --> 00:18:16,553
And I was just shocked,

376
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:18,886
because I thought if
he did do these things

377
00:18:18,932 --> 00:18:21,772
that he had to have
two personalities

378
00:18:21,810 --> 00:18:22,980
or something like that,

379
00:18:23,019 --> 00:18:26,939
but he was telling me
that this is just him.

380
00:18:29,484 --> 00:18:31,994
Why do you
think he did that?

381
00:18:33,530 --> 00:18:36,490
I think
he was... beat.

382
00:18:36,533 --> 00:18:40,123
I think he...
he knew that he...

383
00:18:40,161 --> 00:18:42,791
he couldn't live
in freedom anymore

384
00:18:42,831 --> 00:18:46,421
because he was too murderous.

385
00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:48,629
He said to me,
"Didn't you always know?"

386
00:18:48,670 --> 00:18:50,550
And it's just like...

387
00:18:50,588 --> 00:18:52,758
"Well, yes and no."

388
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:55,089
And it's like...

389
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:56,394
I dunno.
It's very...

390
00:18:56,427 --> 00:19:00,637
It's a very confusing
emotional conversation.

391
00:19:00,682 --> 00:19:02,432
Um...

392
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,480
I asked him

393
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,190
if I somehow played
a part in what had happened,

394
00:19:09,232 --> 00:19:11,032
and he said no,

395
00:19:11,067 --> 00:19:12,817
that for years
before he even met me,

396
00:19:12,861 --> 00:19:15,611
he'd been fighting
the same sickness,

397
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:19,445
and that when it broke,
we just happened to be together.

398
00:19:22,912 --> 00:19:24,662
I feel like
for so long...

399
00:19:24,706 --> 00:19:26,576
this mental confusion
that I had about,

400
00:19:26,624 --> 00:19:28,424
is he guilty,
is he capable,

401
00:19:28,459 --> 00:19:31,499
is he really
a nice, wonderful guy

402
00:19:31,546 --> 00:19:33,456
that I should love,
or...?

403
00:19:33,506 --> 00:19:35,336
And that mental confusion

404
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:39,183
I think was all just
part of me not being able

405
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:41,720
to face the facts.

406
00:19:41,764 --> 00:19:43,024
And once I got off
the phone,

407
00:19:43,057 --> 00:19:45,387
I just felt like...

408
00:19:45,435 --> 00:19:47,145
I was glad
to know the truth,

409
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,266
but I also felt like
the truth was just so ugly

410
00:19:51,316 --> 00:19:55,526
that I just felt like...

411
00:19:55,570 --> 00:19:57,820
I felt really upset,

412
00:19:57,864 --> 00:20:00,164
and very desolate
that this was true,

413
00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:03,239
that this man I knew
did these things.

414
00:20:03,286 --> 00:20:04,906
Not only did I know him,
I loved him.

415
00:20:04,954 --> 00:20:07,964
So it was very difficult.

416
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:11,206
Wanted
for questioning

417
00:20:11,252 --> 00:20:14,712
in at least 36 cases of rape,
murders, and missing women

418
00:20:14,756 --> 00:20:18,256
in several western states
since 1973.

419
00:20:18,301 --> 00:20:21,931
The FBI said Bundy escaped
from a jail near Aspen, Colorado

420
00:20:21,971 --> 00:20:23,431
last December.

421
00:20:23,473 --> 00:20:26,983
He was awaiting trial there
on a sex slaying charge.

422
00:20:27,018 --> 00:20:29,518
In January, according
to Florida police,

423
00:20:29,562 --> 00:20:31,482
Bundy was living
in Tallahassee

424
00:20:31,522 --> 00:20:34,732
at the time when five
Florida State University co-eds

425
00:20:34,776 --> 00:20:37,486
were attacked
on or near the campus.

426
00:20:37,528 --> 00:20:41,908
Two of the young women died
as a result of the attack...

427
00:20:41,950 --> 00:20:43,530
He alluded to Tallahassee.

428
00:20:43,576 --> 00:20:46,036
I asked him specifically
about the Florida murders,

429
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:49,079
and he told me that he didn't
want to talk about them.

430
00:20:49,123 --> 00:20:51,423
But then in the same
conversation he said

431
00:20:51,459 --> 00:20:55,339
that he felt like he had
a disease like alcoholism,

432
00:20:55,380 --> 00:20:58,130
like the alcoholic that
couldn't take another drink.

433
00:21:00,218 --> 00:21:02,508
I really thought
he was gonna confess.

434
00:21:02,553 --> 00:21:06,473
That's what he was
talking about.

435
00:21:06,516 --> 00:21:08,476
So I was really disappointed
in the following days

436
00:21:08,518 --> 00:21:11,438
when he didn't.

437
00:21:11,479 --> 00:21:12,979
When he called me
in my office

438
00:21:13,022 --> 00:21:17,192
after a few weeks
of not confessing,

439
00:21:17,235 --> 00:21:22,155
I could have easily fallen into
a chatty conversation with him

440
00:21:22,198 --> 00:21:23,738
because that was
our pattern,

441
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:25,583
but I... I already knew

442
00:21:25,618 --> 00:21:28,828
that I was coming out
from under the spell,

443
00:21:28,871 --> 00:21:31,331
but at that point
the spell was broken,

444
00:21:31,374 --> 00:21:33,584
and I just hung up on him.

445
00:21:37,588 --> 00:21:39,878
I was in the early stages
of my journalism career,

446
00:21:39,924 --> 00:21:41,224
and I met an attorney

447
00:21:41,259 --> 00:21:43,929
who was at that point
representing Ted Bundy.

448
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:45,600
He called me and asked
if I would be interested

449
00:21:45,638 --> 00:21:47,348
in covering
the Ted Bundy case,

450
00:21:47,390 --> 00:21:49,390
and in particular be interested
in speaking with Bundy

451
00:21:49,434 --> 00:21:50,814
face-to-face.

452
00:21:50,852 --> 00:21:52,812
So I said, "Okay."

453
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:56,232
I walked in
with this attorney,

454
00:21:56,274 --> 00:21:58,444
and he was sitting
with a stack of papers,

455
00:21:58,484 --> 00:22:00,074
and he was writing,

456
00:22:00,111 --> 00:22:01,821
and the first thing I noticed
was that there was

457
00:22:01,863 --> 00:22:04,203
classical music
playing on the radio,

458
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,490
and I asked him about that.

459
00:22:05,533 --> 00:22:08,123
And he said, "Yeah,
that's the local college

460
00:22:08,161 --> 00:22:10,581
"public radio station."

461
00:22:13,374 --> 00:22:15,544
He was
very soft-spoken,

462
00:22:15,585 --> 00:22:17,335
very charming,

463
00:22:17,378 --> 00:22:20,378
made direct eye contact
the whole time.

464
00:22:20,423 --> 00:22:22,593
I began to ask him about
different parts of his life,

465
00:22:22,633 --> 00:22:23,933
his childhood.

466
00:22:23,968 --> 00:22:25,718
I was probing the same things
that people would probe

467
00:22:25,762 --> 00:22:27,392
for years thereafter.

468
00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:28,930
What kind of a childhood
did he have?

469
00:22:28,973 --> 00:22:31,063
What was the relationship
with his mother?

470
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:33,560
And the more we talked,

471
00:22:33,603 --> 00:22:36,153
the more normal
he seemed to be.

472
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:43,911
On my way out,
I was really shaken.

473
00:22:43,946 --> 00:22:46,566
Here was somebody
who I knew in my heart

474
00:22:46,616 --> 00:22:49,786
had killed many women,
I just knew it.

475
00:22:49,827 --> 00:22:52,247
And yet I felt that the
person I was speaking with

476
00:22:52,288 --> 00:22:55,118
in that jail cell
was not the person

477
00:22:55,166 --> 00:22:56,916
who did all these
horrible things.

478
00:22:56,959 --> 00:22:58,379
The fact that someone

479
00:22:58,419 --> 00:23:01,669
whose background
was so similar to mine

480
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:05,384
could host a being

481
00:23:05,426 --> 00:23:08,506
capable of doing
those horrible things,

482
00:23:08,554 --> 00:23:10,774
I just couldn't separate
myself from him.

483
00:23:14,811 --> 00:23:16,651
If he was
capable of it,

484
00:23:16,687 --> 00:23:19,567
then I had to confront
the notion that maybe

485
00:23:19,607 --> 00:23:22,937
I could have been capable
of something like that.

486
00:23:29,826 --> 00:23:31,736
A man who was
a suspect in several cases

487
00:23:31,786 --> 00:23:33,286
of murder in four states

488
00:23:33,329 --> 00:23:36,669
has been formally charged
in Florida with three.

489
00:23:38,668 --> 00:23:39,628
Okay...

490
00:23:39,669 --> 00:23:40,629
Ladies and gentlemen
of the press,

491
00:23:40,670 --> 00:23:42,380
I'm meeting with you tonight

492
00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:46,801
to inform you that
Theodore Robert Bundy

493
00:23:46,843 --> 00:23:50,223
has been indicted by
the Grand Jury of Leon County

494
00:23:50,263 --> 00:23:51,763
this afternoon and...

495
00:23:51,806 --> 00:23:55,426
I was the director
of the investigation

496
00:23:55,476 --> 00:23:57,146
that involved Ted Bundy.

497
00:23:57,186 --> 00:24:00,356
I had the authority
to take over,

498
00:24:00,398 --> 00:24:03,648
and to discharge my duties
by directing, and I did.

499
00:24:05,153 --> 00:24:09,283
I did not want to lose
total control over him.

500
00:24:09,323 --> 00:24:10,993
Every time he did anything,

501
00:24:11,033 --> 00:24:15,453
it was approved by me.

502
00:24:15,496 --> 00:24:19,536
So, one person took,
and I admit it,

503
00:24:19,584 --> 00:24:21,594
absolute control.

504
00:24:21,627 --> 00:24:22,837
...back here.

505
00:24:22,879 --> 00:24:24,379
I don't want any
motioning to me.

506
00:24:24,422 --> 00:24:27,592
I went to Judge Cowart
and to Harry Morrison,

507
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:29,053
who was the state attorney,

508
00:24:29,093 --> 00:24:30,973
and said,
"Here's my dilemma.

509
00:24:31,012 --> 00:24:32,352
"We have the indictment.

510
00:24:32,388 --> 00:24:34,348
"I want to get it
out of the way,

511
00:24:34,390 --> 00:24:36,480
"but the media
wants to be there."

512
00:24:36,517 --> 00:24:37,807
Judge Cowart said,

513
00:24:37,852 --> 00:24:40,522
"Sheriff, read that
indictment tonight."

514
00:24:40,563 --> 00:24:41,903
I have copies for you.

515
00:24:41,939 --> 00:24:42,939
You do.

516
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:44,072
I have copies
of the indictment

517
00:24:44,108 --> 00:24:45,898
to give each of you,
so you're not...

518
00:24:45,943 --> 00:24:47,073
Harry Morrison,
the state attorney said,

519
00:24:47,111 --> 00:24:48,361
"I agree.
It's your jail;

520
00:24:48,404 --> 00:24:50,454
"it's your inmate.
Handle it."

521
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:52,329
I said, "Okay."

522
00:24:52,366 --> 00:24:55,486
I had no idea how
he was going to react.

523
00:25:00,374 --> 00:25:02,924
Gentlemen, I'm not
to be paraded.

524
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,340
Step out, Mr. Bundy.

525
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:10,508
What do
we have here, Ken?

526
00:25:10,551 --> 00:25:11,551
Let's see.

527
00:25:11,594 --> 00:25:13,144
It's an indictment.
All right.

528
00:25:13,179 --> 00:25:14,639
Why don't you
read it to me?

529
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,720
You're up for
election aren't you?

530
00:25:16,766 --> 00:25:17,766
Mr. Bundy...

531
00:25:17,808 --> 00:25:18,808
You got it,
didn't you?

532
00:25:18,851 --> 00:25:20,061
Mr. Bundy...

533
00:25:20,102 --> 00:25:21,352
You told them
that you were gonna get me.

534
00:25:21,395 --> 00:25:22,975
He said he was
gonna get me, okay?

535
00:25:23,022 --> 00:25:25,522
You've got the indictment.
It's all you're gonna get.

536
00:25:25,566 --> 00:25:27,856
Let's read it.
Let's go.

537
00:25:27,902 --> 00:25:30,452
Theodore Robert Bundy,
you are charged...

538
00:25:30,488 --> 00:25:33,278
Ken Katsaris realized
what a bounty he had,

539
00:25:33,324 --> 00:25:36,294
and I just thought he was,
you know, a guy on the way up,

540
00:25:36,327 --> 00:25:38,157
a showman,

541
00:25:38,204 --> 00:25:40,924
and I think he saw this
as an opportunity

542
00:25:40,957 --> 00:25:44,957
to get local state
but also national media

543
00:25:45,002 --> 00:25:48,552
by putting someone
on display in his care,

544
00:25:48,589 --> 00:25:50,379
which was not ethical at all.

545
00:25:50,424 --> 00:25:52,434
He was willing
to risk a show

546
00:25:52,468 --> 00:25:54,348
to sort of trot him out.

547
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:57,177
Unprecedented, no legal
reason for the show

548
00:25:57,223 --> 00:26:00,393
other than just seeking
publicity for himself,

549
00:26:00,434 --> 00:26:01,604
as Katsaris.

550
00:26:01,644 --> 00:26:03,944
Now, in Bundy he had
a willing victim.

551
00:26:03,980 --> 00:26:08,570
I mean, Bundy realized
the media could help him,

552
00:26:08,609 --> 00:26:10,359
because it had in the past,

553
00:26:10,403 --> 00:26:13,533
to humanize him.

554
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:17,912
And so any opportunity he got
to use the press,

555
00:26:17,952 --> 00:26:19,122
he would use.

556
00:26:19,161 --> 00:26:20,541
...the death
of said Lisa Levy.

557
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:22,079
My chance to
talk to the press.

558
00:26:22,123 --> 00:26:24,923
Contrary to section
78204 Florida Statute.

559
00:26:24,959 --> 00:26:26,539
I'll plead
not guilty right now.

560
00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:29,005
And your grand jurors
being present...

561
00:26:29,046 --> 00:26:31,086
Obviously I got
a lot of criticism

562
00:26:31,132 --> 00:26:35,392
because the media got to see
the indictment reading.

563
00:26:35,428 --> 00:26:38,258
But they got a chance
to see Ted Bundy

564
00:26:38,306 --> 00:26:42,436
with those eyes piercing,
and him saying,

565
00:26:42,476 --> 00:26:45,806
"I am gonna plead
not guilty right now."

566
00:26:45,855 --> 00:26:48,105
I've been kept
in isolation for six months.

567
00:26:48,149 --> 00:26:49,939
I've been kept
away from the press.

568
00:26:49,984 --> 00:26:51,284
I've been buried by you.

569
00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:52,819
You've been talking
for six months.

570
00:26:52,862 --> 00:26:56,242
I think it's my turn now.
All right?

571
00:26:56,282 --> 00:26:57,662
We got a
court order that you--

572
00:26:57,700 --> 00:26:58,870
there wont be
any press interviews.

573
00:26:58,909 --> 00:27:00,289
Sure there won't be
any press interviews.

574
00:27:00,328 --> 00:27:02,458
You've given them out.
I'm gagged, you're not.

575
00:27:02,496 --> 00:27:03,496
Okay.

576
00:27:03,539 --> 00:27:04,539
will
read you your rights.

577
00:27:04,582 --> 00:27:05,672
I'll be heard.

578
00:27:05,708 --> 00:27:07,748
He was a guy
powerless at this point,

579
00:27:07,793 --> 00:27:11,513
in a jumpsuit,
being subjected to a show

580
00:27:11,547 --> 00:27:14,337
by someone who had complete
control over his life.

581
00:27:14,383 --> 00:27:17,303
It changed the balance,
because before that,

582
00:27:17,345 --> 00:27:19,715
the feelings against Ted
were running very high.

583
00:27:19,764 --> 00:27:21,354
I mean, the feelings
in Tallahassee

584
00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:23,850
were very, very raw
in these killings

585
00:27:23,893 --> 00:27:25,643
and the injuring
of these women,

586
00:27:25,686 --> 00:27:29,566
and it may have slowed down
the sort of community-wide anger

587
00:27:29,607 --> 00:27:33,397
and fear that had been
generated by Ted.

588
00:27:33,444 --> 00:27:36,034
I have to say
that when I look at that tape,

589
00:27:36,072 --> 00:27:40,122
it really looks like
a media event.

590
00:27:40,159 --> 00:27:41,909
See what I'm saying?

591
00:27:41,952 --> 00:27:43,912
That's why I never responded.

592
00:27:43,954 --> 00:27:45,504
Everybody has
their own opinion.

593
00:27:45,539 --> 00:27:46,919
But what's
your response to that?

594
00:27:46,957 --> 00:27:47,997
What do you say to that?

595
00:27:48,042 --> 00:27:51,302
I don't care
what you think.

596
00:27:51,337 --> 00:27:52,417
While the trial
was getting underway

597
00:27:52,463 --> 00:27:53,633
here at the courthouse,

598
00:27:53,672 --> 00:27:55,262
the 8th floor of the
bank building next door

599
00:27:55,299 --> 00:27:57,009
was buzzing with activity.

600
00:27:57,051 --> 00:28:01,141
Theodore Robert Bundy
is national news.

601
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:02,850
The Bundy trial,
in effect,

602
00:28:02,890 --> 00:28:07,350
was the OJ trial of 1979.

603
00:28:07,395 --> 00:28:09,265
Three key things
happened in court today

604
00:28:09,313 --> 00:28:11,613
as the murder trial of
Ted Bundy continues

605
00:28:11,649 --> 00:28:14,739
in these three days of
free trial hearings.

606
00:28:14,777 --> 00:28:16,817
The major surprise came
late in the afternoon

607
00:28:16,862 --> 00:28:19,952
when Bundy, wearing
a Seattle Mariners T-shirt,

608
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:21,450
took the stand...

609
00:28:21,492 --> 00:28:23,622
We knew
we had a big story.

610
00:28:23,661 --> 00:28:25,661
We knew that it was a first

611
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:28,374
in terms of a big,
national, international trial

612
00:28:28,416 --> 00:28:29,826
on television.

613
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:32,585
Tonight, Ted Bundy
and cameras in the courtroom.

614
00:28:32,628 --> 00:28:34,378
We're in the
newsroom on the ninth floor

615
00:28:34,422 --> 00:28:37,762
of the Metro Justice building,
five floors above the courtroom.

616
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,510
Keep your pieces short

617
00:28:39,552 --> 00:28:42,812
so that we can
all get on the air.

618
00:28:42,847 --> 00:28:44,347
Smile, Ted.

619
00:28:44,390 --> 00:28:45,560
I mean, the
networks were there.

620
00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:46,559
We had a feed room.

621
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,060
We built a newsroom
in a courthouse.

622
00:28:49,103 --> 00:28:50,733
If the verdict
is guilty of murder

623
00:28:50,771 --> 00:28:51,941
in the first degree,

624
00:28:51,981 --> 00:28:53,571
Bundy could be
sentenced to die.

625
00:28:53,607 --> 00:28:57,527
You had young women
who had been brutally murdered

626
00:28:57,570 --> 00:29:00,820
by a really good-looking guy
that didn't fit the pattern.

627
00:29:00,865 --> 00:29:02,365
I mean, it had
all the elements.

628
00:29:02,408 --> 00:29:05,238
It was made for TV,
and TV was there.

629
00:29:05,286 --> 00:29:08,956
Three, two, one.

630
00:29:08,998 --> 00:29:10,288
Here he comes.

631
00:29:10,332 --> 00:29:12,632
Is anybody using
a walkie-talkie on this floor?

632
00:29:12,668 --> 00:29:14,708
You're breaking up the feed!

633
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:16,843
Get ready, Larry,
it's coming up.

634
00:29:19,133 --> 00:29:20,973
Murder trials are drama
more than anything else.

635
00:29:21,010 --> 00:29:22,300
They're ritualized dramas:

636
00:29:22,344 --> 00:29:23,934
a beginning, a middle,
and an end.

637
00:29:23,971 --> 00:29:26,811
There's usually a resolution,
unlike many things in life.

638
00:29:26,849 --> 00:29:28,479
I prefer to be in
the courtroom every day

639
00:29:28,517 --> 00:29:30,477
because that's just
the way I do what I do.

640
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:33,649
Sometimes you just feel
something in the courtroom,

641
00:29:33,689 --> 00:29:35,479
a look on somebody's face,
you know,

642
00:29:35,524 --> 00:29:38,074
an intake of breath
in the jury box.

643
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:39,200
During what
might be the most

644
00:29:39,236 --> 00:29:41,156
brutally descriptive
day of testimony,

645
00:29:41,197 --> 00:29:43,237
Ted Bundy looked more
like a defence attorney

646
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:46,082
than a defendant
on trial for his life.

647
00:29:46,118 --> 00:29:48,118
When Ted insisted
on defending himself,

648
00:29:48,162 --> 00:29:50,832
he wanted to show that
he was a competent lawyer

649
00:29:50,873 --> 00:29:52,373
in the making.

650
00:29:52,416 --> 00:29:56,416
But then I think the limelight
infected him in some way,

651
00:29:56,462 --> 00:29:59,172
and I think he was really
then playing to this

652
00:29:59,215 --> 00:30:01,125
much larger audience
than that 12 people

653
00:30:01,175 --> 00:30:02,545
in the jury box.

654
00:30:02,593 --> 00:30:04,143
You gonna talk to me,
or are you gonna talk to them?

655
00:30:04,178 --> 00:30:05,598
I'm gonna show
this to Mr. Miller.

656
00:30:05,638 --> 00:30:08,848
He was focused
on managing his image,

657
00:30:08,891 --> 00:30:11,691
but when he stood up
to question a witness,

658
00:30:11,727 --> 00:30:13,807
it wasn't because
there was a point to it,

659
00:30:13,854 --> 00:30:16,484
it was he was standing up
to question a witness,

660
00:30:16,524 --> 00:30:18,444
and they caught that on camera.

661
00:30:18,484 --> 00:30:20,444
Do you recall her
telling you that she...

662
00:30:20,486 --> 00:30:22,736
she remembers the
assailant being young?

663
00:30:22,780 --> 00:30:24,320
Objection.

664
00:30:24,365 --> 00:30:26,445
And he looked like
a lawyer and he asked questions,

665
00:30:26,492 --> 00:30:28,872
his mouth moved,
and so, you know,

666
00:30:28,911 --> 00:30:30,201
therefore the public would say,

667
00:30:30,246 --> 00:30:33,366
"Wow, that's amazing.
This guy's like a lawyer."

668
00:30:33,415 --> 00:30:37,035
And the fact that the press,
you know, responded to him

669
00:30:37,086 --> 00:30:39,046
just encouraged him.

670
00:30:40,130 --> 00:30:43,430
I thought
he enjoyed it too much.

671
00:30:43,467 --> 00:30:46,887
I would see him on TV carrying
boxes of legal documents,

672
00:30:46,929 --> 00:30:49,639
and playing
the role of attorney

673
00:30:49,682 --> 00:30:53,442
like this is his big chance
to act like an attorney.

674
00:30:53,477 --> 00:30:56,147
It was just bizarre.

675
00:30:56,188 --> 00:30:57,818
Nita, do you see
the man that you saw

676
00:30:57,856 --> 00:31:01,436
at the door of the Chi Omega
house on January 15, 1978,

677
00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:04,950
Yes, I believe I do.

678
00:31:04,989 --> 00:31:07,279
I was at my grandparents'
house in the summer,

679
00:31:07,324 --> 00:31:09,874
and it was my habit
to watch TV in the mornings

680
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:11,580
down there, and...

681
00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:17,590
This is the first time
that I've seen him in life.

682
00:31:17,626 --> 00:31:19,416
I would sit
and watch this every day,

683
00:31:19,461 --> 00:31:22,381
and nobody really understood
what I was watching.

684
00:31:22,423 --> 00:31:25,383
...and I think I
recognize it now better

685
00:31:25,426 --> 00:31:28,006
than I ever have before.

686
00:31:28,053 --> 00:31:29,313
That was
the moment for me

687
00:31:29,346 --> 00:31:31,676
where I just...
my whole world shifted

688
00:31:31,724 --> 00:31:35,984
and I saw him as something
entirely different.

689
00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:38,520
It's one thing to know that
someone's probably guilty,

690
00:31:38,564 --> 00:31:41,074
but it's another thing
to really understand

691
00:31:41,108 --> 00:31:43,188
guilty of what.

692
00:31:43,235 --> 00:31:46,155
My jaw was broken
in three places.

693
00:31:46,196 --> 00:31:49,736
I had lacerations
on my shoulder

694
00:31:49,783 --> 00:31:52,413
and like whiplash
on my neck.

695
00:31:52,453 --> 00:31:55,753
And I had
cuts on my head.

696
00:31:55,789 --> 00:31:57,789
I had a broken jaw.

697
00:31:57,833 --> 00:32:00,093
Some of my teeth
were knocked out.

698
00:32:00,127 --> 00:32:03,797
It was...

699
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:07,719
really...

700
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,140
so shattering to see

701
00:32:12,181 --> 00:32:14,141
these murdered women,

702
00:32:14,183 --> 00:32:17,773
to see the evidence that
depicted their smashed heads,

703
00:32:17,811 --> 00:32:21,861
and...

704
00:32:21,899 --> 00:32:25,529
hear about
the physical things

705
00:32:25,569 --> 00:32:27,319
that were inflicted upon them,

706
00:32:27,363 --> 00:32:30,823
and see the evidence of such.

707
00:32:30,866 --> 00:32:34,826
It was horrendous.

708
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:39,210
And I knew.

709
00:32:43,087 --> 00:32:46,507
It's just like,
where do you get disbelief

710
00:32:46,548 --> 00:32:49,928
at that point?

711
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:52,888
I couldn't find it,
and I loved him very much.

712
00:32:56,058 --> 00:32:57,688
Still?

713
00:32:57,726 --> 00:33:01,646
At that time, yes,
I loved him very much.

714
00:33:07,236 --> 00:33:10,566
There were some
journalists who felt

715
00:33:10,614 --> 00:33:12,454
that Bundy was innocent,

716
00:33:12,491 --> 00:33:14,331
that he couldn't
have done this.

717
00:33:16,745 --> 00:33:19,075
He was relaxed
and confident in court,

718
00:33:19,123 --> 00:33:21,043
and took the time to chat
a few minutes with me

719
00:33:21,083 --> 00:33:23,463
about Seattle,
about his family,

720
00:33:23,502 --> 00:33:25,302
and to welcome me
to Miami,

721
00:33:25,337 --> 00:33:27,627
smiling when the guard
very obviously wanted

722
00:33:27,673 --> 00:33:29,803
our conversation to end.

723
00:33:29,842 --> 00:33:33,262
He got coverage
that fell for his act.

724
00:33:33,303 --> 00:33:35,263
That was a failure
on the part of the press,

725
00:33:35,305 --> 00:33:38,095
a failure to look deeper
and think harder

726
00:33:38,142 --> 00:33:41,852
about what it was
they were dealing with.

727
00:33:46,275 --> 00:33:47,895
Theodore
Robert Bundy at age 25,

728
00:33:47,943 --> 00:33:50,403
a Republican campaign
worker in Seattle.

729
00:33:50,446 --> 00:33:52,986
At 28, a University of Utah
law student.

730
00:33:53,031 --> 00:33:54,911
At 30, a Colorado
jail escapee

731
00:33:54,950 --> 00:33:57,490
and one of the FBI's
10 Most Wanted men.

732
00:33:57,536 --> 00:33:58,946
That must've been
a terrifying moment

733
00:33:58,996 --> 00:34:00,956
for this young man who has
maintained his innocence

734
00:34:00,998 --> 00:34:04,838
in every crime he has
been accused of.

735
00:34:04,877 --> 00:34:08,667
It's a discounting
of the stories of the women

736
00:34:08,714 --> 00:34:13,224
in favour of
the central hero,

737
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:14,680
for lack of a better word,

738
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:17,930
being the most important
character in the narrative.

739
00:34:17,973 --> 00:34:19,933
Each day the courtroom
is filled with spectators

740
00:34:19,975 --> 00:34:22,805
drawn by a fascination
with Theodore Bundy himself,

741
00:34:22,853 --> 00:34:25,403
or by the gruesome details
of the crimes.

742
00:34:25,439 --> 00:34:28,069
You try to imagine
yourself in his place

743
00:34:28,108 --> 00:34:29,528
and to see how he's feeling,

744
00:34:29,568 --> 00:34:31,858
looking at the pillows with
bloodstains and everything,

745
00:34:31,904 --> 00:34:34,324
if he really did it or not.

746
00:34:34,364 --> 00:34:35,954
It scares me be
in the same room with him,

747
00:34:35,991 --> 00:34:39,911
but I know there's other
people in there, so...

748
00:34:39,953 --> 00:34:41,213
Why do you do it?

749
00:34:41,246 --> 00:34:42,916
I don't know.

750
00:34:42,956 --> 00:34:44,746
But one woman
who has been at the trial

751
00:34:44,792 --> 00:34:45,962
for the past four days,

752
00:34:46,001 --> 00:34:47,381
and who frequently
confers with Bundy,

753
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:49,459
has another impression
entirely.

754
00:34:49,505 --> 00:34:52,215
Carole Boone believes Bundy
is completely innocent.

755
00:34:52,257 --> 00:34:54,337
Some have called her
his girlfriend.

756
00:34:54,384 --> 00:34:58,764
She prefers to be known as
just a close personal friend.

757
00:34:58,806 --> 00:35:00,216
In the beginning
people were saying,

758
00:35:00,265 --> 00:35:03,095
"Have you heard about
this woman, Carole Boone?"

759
00:35:03,143 --> 00:35:06,233
She was in the courtroom
I think pretty much every day.

760
00:35:06,271 --> 00:35:09,401
She was not expressive,

761
00:35:09,441 --> 00:35:11,321
except for this
weird smile she had

762
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,070
when she would
talk about stuff.

763
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:16,162
She was just
a little strange,

764
00:35:16,198 --> 00:35:18,028
and no matter
what happened,

765
00:35:18,075 --> 00:35:19,825
no matter what the day's
testimony was,

766
00:35:19,868 --> 00:35:21,698
she would have an explanation
for why it was wrong

767
00:35:21,745 --> 00:35:23,865
or not incriminating.

768
00:35:23,914 --> 00:35:25,674
Carole Boone says
she first met Ted Bundy

769
00:35:25,707 --> 00:35:27,707
five years ago when they
worked in the same office

770
00:35:27,751 --> 00:35:29,381
in Seattle, Washington.

771
00:35:29,419 --> 00:35:30,919
Since that time,
she has followed him,

772
00:35:30,963 --> 00:35:33,673
helping him prepare
his legal cases, from Utah,

773
00:35:33,715 --> 00:35:36,085
where he was convicted of
kidnapping a young woman,

774
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:39,224
to Colorado, where he is
suspected of murdering another,

775
00:35:39,263 --> 00:35:40,813
and finally now to Florida.

776
00:35:40,848 --> 00:35:43,848
Let me put it this way.
I... I don't think that...

777
00:35:43,892 --> 00:35:45,522
that Ted belongs in jail.

778
00:35:45,561 --> 00:35:48,111
The things in Florida
don't concern me.

779
00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:50,356
Carole would come up
and just talk to

780
00:35:50,399 --> 00:35:52,989
individual reporters,
and my memory is

781
00:35:53,026 --> 00:35:57,236
that she would be
spinning for Ted.

782
00:35:57,281 --> 00:36:00,371
She was definitely
talking on his behalf,

783
00:36:00,409 --> 00:36:02,789
and she seemed
absolutely sincere.

784
00:36:02,828 --> 00:36:04,538
Boone says
she has twice been allowed

785
00:36:04,580 --> 00:36:05,750
to visit Bundy in jail

786
00:36:05,789 --> 00:36:08,209
since he was brought
to Miami six days ago.

787
00:36:08,250 --> 00:36:13,420
She describes him as nervous
but cautiously hopeful.

788
00:36:13,463 --> 00:36:14,923
Well, what
did you make of him

789
00:36:14,965 --> 00:36:17,045
taking up with
Carole Boone?

790
00:36:19,386 --> 00:36:22,256
I'm just
glad it wasn't me.

791
00:36:22,306 --> 00:36:24,766
I'll call
Carole Boone.

792
00:36:24,808 --> 00:36:26,688
I just felt
like she's gonna be

793
00:36:26,727 --> 00:36:28,807
just as roped in
as I was,

794
00:36:28,854 --> 00:36:31,694
she's gonna be used
just like I was.

795
00:36:31,732 --> 00:36:34,282
This isn't gonna
end well for her.

796
00:36:34,318 --> 00:36:37,648
And are you familiar
with the defendant, myself?

797
00:36:37,696 --> 00:36:38,736
Yes.

798
00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:39,740
And how long
have you known me?

799
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:42,031
Since
May of 1974.

800
00:36:42,075 --> 00:36:45,445
He had spent
a lifetime observing women

801
00:36:45,495 --> 00:36:48,995
and deciding which was
going to become a victim,

802
00:36:49,041 --> 00:36:51,171
and I think he could tell

803
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:54,709
when women had
the codependence issue

804
00:36:54,755 --> 00:36:59,465
where they wanted to help him
in any way they could.

805
00:36:59,509 --> 00:37:01,719
I don't think they
had reason to charge Ted Bundy

806
00:37:01,762 --> 00:37:05,352
with... with murder
in either Leon County or...

807
00:37:05,390 --> 00:37:06,890
or Columbia County.

808
00:37:06,934 --> 00:37:09,104
You know,
all the facts of the case,

809
00:37:09,144 --> 00:37:11,654
I don't understand how she
made it through all of that

810
00:37:11,688 --> 00:37:13,858
and still believed in him.

811
00:37:13,899 --> 00:37:15,069
What is that picture of?

812
00:37:15,108 --> 00:37:19,398
That's
a photograph of you,

813
00:37:19,446 --> 00:37:22,816
taken several years ago,
before you were in custody.

814
00:37:22,866 --> 00:37:25,656
But I do believe
she believed in him.

815
00:37:25,702 --> 00:37:26,912
I mean, I can't judge her.

816
00:37:26,954 --> 00:37:31,674
I can't judge any single person,
you know, in this story.

817
00:37:31,708 --> 00:37:34,288
I mean, we all just
did the best we could.

818
00:37:34,336 --> 00:37:38,506
But I don't-- I'm not sure
why her story went like that.

819
00:37:40,133 --> 00:37:41,343
... that
these two right here,

820
00:37:41,385 --> 00:37:45,715
which are State's exhibits
number six and seven...

821
00:37:45,764 --> 00:37:47,064
On one of the days
that they presented

822
00:37:47,099 --> 00:37:48,979
the autopsy photographs,

823
00:37:49,017 --> 00:37:51,187
what I was seeing was
the graphic evidence

824
00:37:51,228 --> 00:37:53,228
of the damage
he did to these women.

825
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:57,651
You know, they're horrific
pictures, horrible stuff.

826
00:37:57,693 --> 00:37:58,743
As I looked at these women,

827
00:37:58,777 --> 00:38:01,447
these women looked like
women who I knew.

828
00:38:01,488 --> 00:38:03,318
I was the same age as Bundy.

829
00:38:03,365 --> 00:38:05,865
I was still on the fringes
of a college campus,

830
00:38:05,909 --> 00:38:08,409
and these were
faces of people

831
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:10,663
that I could see
on my own campus

832
00:38:10,706 --> 00:38:12,916
in my own college town.

833
00:38:12,958 --> 00:38:15,628
On that day,
I left the trial coverage

834
00:38:15,669 --> 00:38:17,879
and was having dinner
with another journalist

835
00:38:17,921 --> 00:38:19,511
and I just in
the middle of dinner,

836
00:38:19,548 --> 00:38:23,468
I just started to weep
because it was so horrific.

837
00:38:23,510 --> 00:38:26,220
How could you maintain
that intensity

838
00:38:26,263 --> 00:38:29,523
of hatred for women

839
00:38:29,558 --> 00:38:32,848
and be able to do this
time after time after time?

840
00:38:49,995 --> 00:38:51,615
The verdict is in.

841
00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:53,213
Guilty on seven counts,

842
00:38:53,248 --> 00:38:54,998
including assault
and burglary,

843
00:38:55,042 --> 00:38:57,002
attempted murder,
and murder.

844
00:38:57,044 --> 00:38:59,304
At this point, the judge
has recessed the jury

845
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:00,707
until Saturday morning.

846
00:39:00,756 --> 00:39:03,086
At that time, the 12
members will decide

847
00:39:03,133 --> 00:39:05,723
whether to recommend
the death penalty.

848
00:39:05,761 --> 00:39:07,221
This court,
independent of,

849
00:39:07,262 --> 00:39:10,142
but in agreement with,
the advisor's sentence

850
00:39:10,182 --> 00:39:11,602
rendered by the jury

851
00:39:11,641 --> 00:39:14,191
does hereby impose
the death penalty

852
00:39:14,227 --> 00:39:16,607
upon the defendant,
Theodore Robert Bundy.

853
00:39:16,646 --> 00:39:20,026
All of us who covered
that trial can remember

854
00:39:20,067 --> 00:39:23,987
categorically what
he said to Bundy

855
00:39:24,029 --> 00:39:27,659
when he-- after he
sentenced him to die.

856
00:39:27,699 --> 00:39:29,369
Take care of
yourself, young man.

857
00:39:29,409 --> 00:39:30,369
Thank you.

858
00:39:30,410 --> 00:39:32,080
I say that
to you sincerely.

859
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,000
Take care of yourself.

860
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:36,669
It's a tragedy for
this court to see

861
00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:39,878
such a total waste,
I think, of humanity

862
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,630
that I have experienced
in this court.

863
00:39:41,671 --> 00:39:44,381
You're a bright young man.

864
00:39:44,424 --> 00:39:45,634
You'd have made
a good lawyer.

865
00:39:45,675 --> 00:39:47,585
I'd have loved to have you
practice in front of me,

866
00:39:47,636 --> 00:39:50,386
but you went another way,
partner.

867
00:39:50,430 --> 00:39:51,720
Take care of yourself.

868
00:39:51,765 --> 00:39:53,345
I don't have any
animosity to you.

869
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:55,731
I want you to know it.
Take care of yourself.

870
00:39:55,769 --> 00:39:59,149
- Thank you.
- Court will be in recess.

871
00:39:59,189 --> 00:40:01,779
That he would say
that to him with no concern

872
00:40:01,817 --> 00:40:05,737
really for what these
women actually experienced...

873
00:40:05,779 --> 00:40:07,489
It's almost paying
homage to him,

874
00:40:07,531 --> 00:40:09,951
and that is a
scary, scary thing.

875
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:11,121
Following
this court case,

876
00:40:11,159 --> 00:40:13,409
he will stand trial
in Lake City, Florida

877
00:40:13,453 --> 00:40:14,873
for another death,

878
00:40:14,913 --> 00:40:18,583
that of 12-year-old
Kimberly Anne Leach.

879
00:40:25,549 --> 00:40:27,679
Wearing a blue
bowtie and a big grin,

880
00:40:27,717 --> 00:40:30,637
Theodore Bundy faced
the jury for the last time.

881
00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:33,179
They reconvened to hear
testimony from both sides

882
00:40:33,223 --> 00:40:35,853
before deciding whether
to recommend life in prison

883
00:40:35,892 --> 00:40:37,642
or the death penalty.

884
00:40:37,686 --> 00:40:40,806
The defence called only
one witness, Carole Boone.

885
00:40:40,856 --> 00:40:42,186
Acting as his own lawyer,

886
00:40:42,232 --> 00:40:44,822
Bundy questioned her
about his character.

887
00:40:44,860 --> 00:40:47,820
She said he's a kind,
warm, patient man,

888
00:40:47,863 --> 00:40:50,123
a very positive part
of her life.

889
00:40:50,157 --> 00:40:52,907
Then the convicted man
popped the question.

890
00:40:52,951 --> 00:40:55,501
- Will you marry me?
- Yes, I will.

891
00:40:55,537 --> 00:40:58,077
Then I do hereby
marry you, okay.

892
00:40:58,123 --> 00:41:01,253
When they got
married, I just thought...

893
00:41:01,293 --> 00:41:02,673
I felt slightly disgusted

894
00:41:02,711 --> 00:41:06,551
just because
it was such a Ted...

895
00:41:06,590 --> 00:41:10,720
showboating type thing to do.

896
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,510
He married her
on the stand,

897
00:41:14,556 --> 00:41:17,846
at the trial of this girl

898
00:41:17,893 --> 00:41:21,563
who he...

899
00:41:21,605 --> 00:41:25,065
raped and mutilated
and murdered,

900
00:41:25,108 --> 00:41:27,688
and...

901
00:41:27,736 --> 00:41:31,276
every year that
I have gained since then,

902
00:41:31,323 --> 00:41:36,373
I think about her and the years
that she did not gain.

903
00:41:39,372 --> 00:41:40,922
The prosecution
called the marriage proposal

904
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,247
a charade, and asked
the jury to consider

905
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:45,303
the timing of
the announcement.

906
00:41:45,337 --> 00:41:47,837
The jury deliberated
about 45 minutes.

907
00:41:47,881 --> 00:41:51,181
They came back with
a decision of death.

908
00:41:51,218 --> 00:41:52,968
A majority of the
jury advise and recommend

909
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:55,181
to the court that it
impose the death penalty

910
00:41:55,222 --> 00:41:57,392
upon the defendant,
Theodore Robert Bundy,

911
00:41:57,432 --> 00:41:59,602
dated this 9th day
of February, 1980,

912
00:41:59,643 --> 00:42:01,983
in Orlando,
Orange County, Florida.

913
00:42:02,020 --> 00:42:04,230
It is further ordered
that you, Theodore Robert Bundy,

914
00:42:04,272 --> 00:42:05,862
be taken by
the proper authority

915
00:42:05,899 --> 00:42:08,279
to the Florida State Prison,
and there be kept

916
00:42:08,318 --> 00:42:12,358
and closely confined till the
date of your execution is set.

917
00:42:22,165 --> 00:42:23,535
I mean,
so many women died,

918
00:42:23,583 --> 00:42:25,923
and I just felt like,
"Why am I still alive?"

919
00:42:25,961 --> 00:42:27,841
And I was miserable.

920
00:42:27,879 --> 00:42:30,379
I think about the fear
that they must've felt

921
00:42:30,423 --> 00:42:33,183
once this charming man
turned into the monster

922
00:42:33,218 --> 00:42:35,848
that he was.

923
00:42:35,887 --> 00:42:38,597
I just felt decimated.

924
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,730
That I was a complete failure
as a human being

925
00:42:41,768 --> 00:42:45,268
and as a mother,

926
00:42:45,313 --> 00:42:48,733
and...

927
00:42:48,775 --> 00:42:52,025
that I really
didn't deserve

928
00:42:52,070 --> 00:42:55,120
to be alive.

929
00:42:57,659 --> 00:43:00,249
And I should be dead too.
