Questions
Added 2022-03-09 18:34:09 +0000 UTCIf you were going to interview Richard Bundy (Ted’s youngest brother) what questions would you ask him?
Comments
I would want to know about him. What he likes, what makes him smile. He doesn't always need to be tied to Ted. I want to know about Rich.

2022-05-07 16:27:09 +0000 UTCI wouldn’t ask him any questions. I really hope that he doesn’t blame himself.

2022-04-07 22:02:29 +0000 UTCI would ask him if he has ever contacted or felt like contacting any victims´family in order to give his condolences, the way Molly did for example. Has he ever faced any hate for what Ted has done? Finally I would certainly ask him about his career as a musician and what role (if any) his great uncle played in it.

2022-04-04 21:05:26 +0000 UTCI would ask him many questions, but I´m afraid most of them could be considered too personal, and I wouldn´t want to invade his privacy. I´m curious about the family dynamics after Ted started confessing, I imagine it was a huge shock for everyone, did it break them or bring them closer? Are they there for each other? Do they talk about what happened or is it the topic they tend to avoid?What about the youngest generation: Ted´s nephews and nieces (without mentioning anybody by name) how are they handling the burden of the past? I would ask him if now, in retrospect, he thinks that there were signs that something was wrong. Of course back then it was impossible to see it, but very often after many years pass and we dare to look back and analyze the past, we realize we could see certain things coming.

2022-03-22 02:06:03 +0000 UTCI agree! He could’ve gone looking for his dad, like a lot of people do.

2022-03-22 02:04:17 +0000 UTCOk, that clarifies things a bit. So the secrecy was his illigitimacy and Johnny not being his father. During that time in history many families took the 'don't ask don't tell' approach to not rocking the boat so it was not the psychic whiplash complication of not only am I illegitimate but my sister is my mother. Am glad he at least knew who Louise was. In one interview ted said being an only child and then have Johnny there was puzzling, that he didn't know how Johnny fit in. At that age healthy boys are in love with their mothers and often resent a new person. So that adds up for me. So I am curious about verifying the reports about the grandfather.

2022-03-18 16:02:34 +0000 UTCI can answer at least some of that. Johnnie Bundy adopted Ted when he married his mother in 1951. Ted grew up believing Louise his mother and Johnnie his father. His younger siblings always knew Ted was their brother. Ted did call Louise mom. The idea of Ted ever calling Louise his sister is controversial, and Louise herself denied it. If it happened, it didn't last long. Ted moved West with his mother in 1950 when he was not quite 4.

2022-03-18 05:01:01 +0000 UTCI would like to research his recollections of Ted and Louise's relationship. Did Ted call Louise mom? How long did he believe she was his sister? And did the siblings believe Ted was their mothers brother?

2022-03-11 22:52:01 +0000 UTCHey I'm late to this bit I want to reiterate I really love you and thank you so much for your effort and dedication. My only question is why did he live in obscurity/poverty when he could have had a comfortable, if somewhat ostracized, life. I'm so sorry, Richard. I wish you'd taken advantage of it. So many other people have. 😒

2022-03-10 16:00:27 +0000 UTCI concur with Kathleen Jolly. Interview him about him. He deserved to be recognized for himself and not just Ted Bundy’s brother. Besides, I do not believe he would disclose any information or speculations about possible unknown activities of his brother which could negatively impact the image of his family any further. Maybe, try to get a more accurate timeline of TB’s travels especially about the East Coast and Canada.

2022-03-10 14:39:47 +0000 UTCI'd like his thoughts on their family dynamic growing up. Was it ever acknowledged that Ted was adopted? If so, was the subject of Ted's bio father ever brought up? What was his grandfather (Samuel Cowell) like, and did the family ever spend time with Louise's parents? What was Ted's relationship with Louise like growing up - were they close? Did Louise ever "open up" or was she reserved? As Joe mentioned above, what were Ted's relationships like with his other siblings? Did any family, other than his parents, visit Ted or keep in regular contact with him during his trials or incarcerations?

2022-03-10 01:16:14 +0000 UTCI'd like to ask about genetic problems in the family, particularly any cases of UCD (urea cycle disorder) but getting into medical history is likely too personal. I would ask if he was aware of the exchanges with Pensacola detectives after Ted was apprehended (what was said). Is he aware that Ted was interested in a deal that would put him back in Washington and how that was not explored further or thwarted by the parties involved? Would like his thoughts on that. Ted's last words concerning family and friends also point to the value he placed on them, aside from the high value he placed on his own life.

2022-03-09 23:21:40 +0000 UTCI’d ask him if he’s had trouble trusting people. How does he view the relationship he had with Ted now? Did anyone in his family ever keep their distance from Ted for some reason (bad vibe, creepy feeling)? I’d ask him if he ever worried that he himself inherited personality traits like that of his brother. Did it give him pause about having a family?

2022-03-09 22:30:28 +0000 UTCWhat were the relationships like with the other siblings? When did the others realize Ted was guilty? What did he think of Liz, and did he meet any of Ted’s other girlfriends?
Joe Ulam
2022-03-09 20:44:34 +0000 UTCI probably wouldn't ask him anything about ted to respect him, i'd rather get to know him as a person learn about his interests in music etc.

2022-03-09 20:26:33 +0000 UTCI would want to know specific memories that he had of his brother. Things about his brother long before he began the crimes. What are things about Ted that stood out to him as a child? Things that are burned in his memory. Did he ever see Ted really elated and when? DId he see Ted cry? How has Richard coped with all of the things that he had to go through. Does he have any words of wisdom to share with the rest of us humans.

2022-03-09 20:18:40 +0000 UTCAssuming that most serial killers like to collect trophies from their victims, I have always wondered if anyone in the family had either found incriminating items or were asked by Ted to dispose of certain items. He was surprised to be taken into custody the 2nd time and had no way to get back to Seattle to perform any cleanup. I would ask Richard if there was any hint that someone in the family or close to Ted may have known about his issues and assisted in covering up incriminating evidence.
