The Hunt for Ted Bundy (Part 3 of a 4-Part Series)

In Part 3 of our Ted Bundy deep dive, we turn back the clock a bit to his time as a law student in Utah who enjoyed the occasional winter break trip to Colorado. We see him back at his old tricks, making women disappear, in a new locale. We'll discuss the murders in Colorado, how they were finally linked to the monster, how he was caught, and how he escaped justice TWICE. What should have been the end of one of America's most prolific serial killers instead became the beginning of a nationwide manhunt.🔎 What We CoverThe Colorado murdersTed Bundy's extradition from Utah to answer for his violent crimesHis first escape through a jail library windowHis second escape through a hole in the ceiling of his cellHis insistence on being his own defense team🧠 Key Discussion PointsHow, how, how was this man able to escape law enforcement's clutches two timesThe sad truth about adults that go missing📚 SourcesCaroline.
