Frances Messier
Added 2021-06-16 00:00:42 +0000 UTCThe FSU and Leon County Sheriff police interviews with Frances Messier, a 21-year-old beauty school student and Ted's neighbor at The Oak rooming house in Tallahassee.
Officer Presnell: Let me ask you one more thing, now. You went out to dinner on the 10th and we just talked about that. But on the 9th, which was a Thursday, uh, you had an incident in which you asked Henry Palumbo, to give you a ride, cause you wanted to go eat dinner.
Messier: Uh huh.
Presnell: And Henry wouldn't do it, and ya'll got mad at each other, and you sort of stormed out.
Messier: Uh huh.
Presnell: And then you came back around 9 o’clock, roughly, and you said that Bundy came in. Tell me what transpired there.
Messier: This was, he never really came into my room, it was always in the hall. And he says, uh, “you were really mad, and you left your door open,” you know—
Presnell: He said he saw you leave, didn't he?
Messier: Yeah, he goes, “you know you just, you ran out in such a huff," or something like that, I don't know. Some cliche.
Presnell: And he sort of told you you shouldn't leave your door open?
Messier: Yeah.
Presnell: Because anybody could come in or?
Messier: Yeah, he says, uh, “you left your door open, did you know that?” and ah, “you must of been upset huh?”
Presnell: Did you realize you'd left your door open?
Messier: No, I completely forgot about it.

He called her a "hefty girl" so I hope not.

2022-06-08 03:02:11 +0000 UTCYes, I would love to hear more from her.

2022-01-21 23:53:52 +0000 UTCIt’s probably not something she wants to go into much, but I’d be fascinated to learn if there was flirting- and sexual tension. Dinner out, then watching a movie in his room-

2021-06-17 13:55:45 +0000 UTCYes.! There’s a lot of talk time during dinner. Face to face. Wonder what she thought.

2021-06-16 21:33:38 +0000 UTCI will think of some better ones right now. Specifics.

2021-06-16 21:32:25 +0000 UTCOMG, You HAVE to contact her !!! She was obviously being guarded in those interviews. I hope she's more forthcoming now.

2021-06-16 18:09:52 +0000 UTCYes! You should ask if she's willing to do an interview or even a video interview. It never hurts to ask! :)

2021-06-16 17:44:53 +0000 UTCI hate to see that Keppel has passed. What an interesting life he had though. I have mad respect for him.

2021-06-16 17:43:47 +0000 UTCI'd be very interested to hear what they talked about during their lengthy (and boozy) dinner date. Not a question about that in the interview.
Milena Hazell
2021-06-16 05:43:41 +0000 UTCYes, absolutely!! She may not be interested but it's worth a shot. We're in the waning days now of still being able to hear living testimonies of those who had first hand encounters with him. So sad to hear of Bob Keppel's passing yesterday. He seemed like a man of great integrity.

2021-06-16 03:53:30 +0000 UTCWell help me think of some questions! 🙃
Tiffany J.
2021-06-16 03:15:52 +0000 UTCYes you should interview her. I was always under the impression they had a ver brief romantic relationship. Sounds like that’s not the case? It would be interesting to see what she has to say all these years later.
Jennifer Elliott
2021-06-16 01:49:17 +0000 UTCOmg, yes!! She is one of those compelling minor characters in this saga. The interview where she giggles shyly talking about dinner with him. She seems so open, just hanging out in the rooming house, going for meals, etc

2021-06-16 00:38:40 +0000 UTCAlso: I just found Frances' contact info. Should I give her a call?
