As some of you may have gathered, I've also been researching the Forrest serial killer case, which in many ways mirrors Bundy's. Some of his murders were wrongly attributed to Bundy, and he was killing in approximately the same area at approximately the same time. He was wise enough to stay in Wa...

Aspen Times articles "Who is Ted Bundy?" by Bill Rollins, and "Manhunt: Is a Killer Loose in Aspen?" by John Sabella.
In the summer of 1977, Bundy was still in pretrial hearings in Pitkin County, Colorado for the murder of Caryn Campbell. His first attempted escape was June 7, and he was r...

These are the minutes from that meeting.

Thought y'all might enjoy this humorous little time capsule of Aspen in 1977. The Aspen State Teacher's College was a fake "college" which put out a joke newsletter called "Clean Sweep" in the style of The Onion. The June issue was heavily laced with Bundy escape jokes. While the business adverti...

This very specific timeline of Ted's appearance seems to have been possibly generated during the investigation by Mike Fisher and the Colorado authorities. It dates from August 1973-March 1976 and carefully documents his grooming habits. I must admit, I'm perplexed at its purpose.

While stating that the mission was to "aid indigent family members of people charged with a crime," in reality it was a way to sidestep "Son of Sam" laws and fu...

I found a couple of interesting Tacoma News Tribune articles about the skeletons recovered from Pierce County.
The one found in 1978 which I referenced in the Manson article still hasn't been identified, but it wasn't Manson, nor Rita Jolly judging by the clothes found at the scene.

Not Ted related (though he was a suspect for many years), but I thought y'all might find her paperwork interesting. I really did anyway.
