Carol DaRonch: The Survivor Who Escaped Ted Bundy

This episode traces how early disappearances in Washington and Utah led investigators to a man who would become America’s most notorious serial killer. We examine the 1974 Mall kidnapping of Carol DaRonch, the 1975 Utah murders, a 2026 DNA breakthrough tying Bundy to Laura Aime’s killing, and the forensic evidence that finally anchored his name in court. Through survivor testimony, cold‑case science, and courtroom strategy we uncover why the story of Ted Bundy is as much about missing victims and institutional failure as it is about a single man’s crimes.
