Debra Kent, Susan Curtis and the Handcuff Key: Bundy’s Evidence Puzzle

In this episode we follow Debra Kent’s vanishing from a high‑school parking lot in 1974, the key recovered that tied her case to the infamous handcuffs used on Carol DaRonch, and Ted Bundy’s later confession regarding Susan Curtis’s murder. We examine how investigations across Washington, Utah, Colorado and Florida struggled with limited forensic proof, institutional gaps, and the shifting narrative of a killer who manipulated the record. The episode raises unresolved questions about evidence, victim identification, and the legacy of Bundy’s mythic public image. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
