Episode 117 - Ted Bundy

Ted Bundy was an American serial killer who kidnapped, raped, and murdered dozens of young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. After more than a decade of denials, he confessed to 30 murders committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978. His true victim total is unknown. This week, we dive into the mind and crimes of one of the world’s most infamous killers. This one gets incredibly challenging, but we believe there is much to be learned from this monster’s reign of terror. Enjoy! Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only.
