96 – Ted Bundy

Sam shares the chilling story of Ted Bundy, one of the most infamous serial killers in American history.Operating during the 1970s, Bundy was responsible for the abduction and murder of numerous young women across multiple states. Known for his intelligence, charm, and ability to blend in, he used manipulation and deception to gain the trust of his victims—making his crimes all the more disturbing.This episode explores not only the timeline of Bundy’s murders, but also the psychology behind them. Drawing from criminal analysis and mental health research, Sam dives into how Bundy’s behavior challenged assumptions about what a killer “looks like,” and how investigators—including those who would later pursue other serial killers—learned from his case.From courtroom theatrics to shocking confessions, Bundy’s story remains one of the most studied and haunting in true crime history.Visit us on Linktree for the collection of links, Instagram, or email us at [email protected] Seattle Times – Obituary of Bob Keppel https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/obituaries/bob-keppel-the-cop-who-spent-his-life-chasing-serial-killers-including-ted-bundy-dies-at-76/ HistoryLink.org https://historylink.org/File/23480 Wikipedia – Ted Bundy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Bundy The Last Podcast on the Left – Episodes 99 & 100 (Bundy Parts 1 & 2) University of Kentucky – Psychology Research on Ted Bundy https://psychology.as.uky.edu/psychology-researcher-unravels-serial-killer-ted-bundys-mental-health Encyclopaedia Britannica – Ted Bundy https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ted-Bundy Crime Museum – Ted Bundy https://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/serial-killers/ted-bundy/ EBSCO Research Starter – Ted Bundy https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/ted-bundy Florida Sheriffs Association – Chi Omega Murders https://flsheriffs.org/blog/entry/remembering-ted-bundy-and-the-chi-omega-murders/ All That’s Interesting – Ted Bundy https://allthatsinteresting.com/ted-bundy Biography.com – Ted Bundy and the Green River Killer Investigation https://www.biography.com/crime/a65603336/ted-bundy-green-river-killer-investigation Netflix – Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes
