From Kent to Colorado: Untangling Ted Bundy’s Early Utah Trail

This episode traces the early murders and disappearances that set the stage for Ted Bundy's later crimes—Debra Kent’s vanished from a high‑school parking lot, Susan Curtis’ unresolved disappearance, Carol DaRonch’s escape, and the Colorado murder case of Caryn Campbell. It examines the physical evidence found in his Volkswagen, the forensic links, the courtroom strategies that foreshadowed his later trials, and how investigators linked incidents across Utah, Colorado, and beyond despite limited proof. The discussion highlights the uncertainties inherent in early attributions, the limits of the evidence, and how media attention amplified a pattern still contested by scholars and families today.
