*age 31*
.
.
(’24 november 1946′ – ’24 january 1989′)
(age 43)
.
(born in vermont)
(at a home for unwed mothers)
(was she fucked by her own father?)
(maternal grandparents claimed him as their son)
(grew up believing that his mother was his older sister)
(did he learn this in high school or after a college breakup?)
(for the first few years of his life, Bundy and his mother lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
(in 1950, they moved to live with relatives in Tacoma, Washington)
(here, Louise had her son’s surname changed from ‘Cowell’ to ‘Nelson’)
(in 1951, one year after their move, Louise Cowell met Johnny Culpepper Bundy at an adult singles night held at Tacoma’s “First Methodist Church”)
(in May that year, the couple were married, and soon after Johnny Bundy adopted Ted, legally changing his last name to “Bundy”)
(Johnny and Louise Bundy had more children, whom the young Bundy spent much of his time babysitting)
(Johnny Bundy tried to include his high school aged stepson in camping trips and other father-son activities, but the boy remained distant from his stepfather)
(bundy was a good student at “Woodrow Wilson High School”, in Tacoma)
(Bundy later would claim he was active in a local Methodist church, even serving as vice-president of the “Methodist Youth Fellowship”)
(he was also involved with a local troop of the “Boy Scouts of America”)
(‘Bundy’ remained shy and introverted throughout his high school and early college years)
(he would say later that he “hit a wall” in high school and that he was unable to understand social behavior, stunting his social development)
(he maintained a facade of social activity, but he had no natural sense of how to get along with other people, saying: “I didn’t know what made things tick. I didn’t know what made people want to be friends. I didn’t know what made people attractive to one another. I didn’t know what underlay social interactions”)
(in 1965, Bundy graduated from “Woodrow Wilson High”)
(awarded a scholarship by the “University of Puget Sound” (UPS), he began that fall taking courses in ‘psychology’ and ‘oriental studies’)
(after 2 semesters at UPS, he decided to transfer to Seattle’s ‘University of Washington’ (UW))
(while he was a university student, Bundy worked as a ‘grocery bagger’ and ‘shelf-stocker’ at a ‘Seattle Safeway’ store on ‘Queen Anne Hill’, as well as other odd jobs)
(at this time Bundy did not hold any one job for longer than a few months, and though he was never caught stealing while at work he had been regarded with some suspicion by employers)
(as part of his course of studies in ‘psychology’, he would later work as a night-shift volunteer at Seattle’s “Suicide Hot Line”, a suicide crisis center that served the greater Seattle metropolitan and suburban areas)
(he met and worked alongside former Seattle policewoman and then-fledgling crime writer “Ann Rule”, who would later write one of the definitive biographies of Bundy and his crimes, “The Stranger Beside Me”)
(he began a relationship with fellow university student “Stephanie Brooks” (a pseudonym), whom he met while enrolled at UW in 1967)
(“Ann Rule” and former King County detective “Robert D. Keppel”, who investigated the 1974 Washington murders, believe Bundy may have started killing as far back as his early teens)
(“Ann Marie Burr”, an eight-year-old girl from Tacoma, vanished from her home in 1961, when Bundy was 14 years old)
(Bundy always denied killing her)
(the day before his execution, Bundy told his lawyer that he made his first attempt to kidnap a woman in 1969, and implied that he committed his first actual murder sometime in 1972)
(a psychiatrist who interviewed him said Bundy claimed to have killed two women while staying with family in ‘Philadelphia’ in 1969)
(at one point in his death row confessions with Keppel, Bundy said he committed his first murder in 1972)
(in 1973, one of Bundy’s friends saw a pair of handcuffs in the back of Bundy’s Volkswagen)
(he was for many years a suspect in the December 1973 murder of ‘Kathy Devine’ in Washington state, but DNA analysis led to William Cosden’s arrest and conviction for that crime in 2002)
(Bundy’s earliest known, identified murders were committed in 1974, when he was 27)
(shortly after midnight on 4 january 1974, Bundy entered the basement bedroom of 18-year-old “Joni Lenz” (a pseudonym), a dancer and student at UW)
(‘Bundy’ bludgeoned her with a metal rod from her bed frame while she slept and sexually assaulted her with a “speculum”)
(a speculum (Latin for “mirror”) (plural specula or speculums) is a medical tool for investigating body cavities, with a form dependent on the body cavity for which it is designed)
(‘Lenz’ was found the next morning by her roommates lying in a pool of her own blood)
(she was in a ‘coma’ for 10 days, but she survived the attack)
(Bundy’s next victim was “Lynda Ann Healy”, another UW student (and his cousin’s roommate))
(in the early morning of 1 february 1974, Bundy broke into Healy’s room, knocked her unconscious, dressed her in jeans and a shirt, wrapped her in a bed sheet, and carried her away)
(active between 1973 and 1978)
(twice escaped from county jails before his final apprehension in February 1978)
(confessed to over 30 murders, although the actual total of victims remains unknown)
(estimates range from 26 – 100)
(general consensus is 35?)
(would bludgeon his victims, then strangle them to death)
(engaged in rape and necrophilia)
.
(executed via ‘electric chair’ for his last murder by the state of ‘florida’ in 1989)
