Well fiends, we've made it to one whole year and you know what that means, it's time to cover Ted Bundy. This podcast came from a conversation Holly and Leslie had where they put themselves in the place of the victims of infamous crimes, namely those who died at the hands of Ted Bundy. It's so easy to say that when faced with a killer you would know better and get away, but the simple fact of the matter is that most of us wouldn't, and we would be dead.
In part two we dive into the costly phenomenon of identifying with a killer. A great many officers and investigators refused to believe Ted could possible be the man they were looking for simply because he reminded them of themselves, and if he could do those horrible things, did that mean that deep down inside, they were capable of them too? We want our monsters to be scary, to wear their murderous nature on their filthy, blood soaked sleeves, but what happens when they don't?
During his time Ted Bundy violently murdered 28 women, we have all read his story and watched the documentaries, but we're going to try remove the sensationalism and expose the unfiltered picture of who Ted was, who he killed, and what happens when a predator knows exactly how to attract and exploit his prey. Strap in fiends, because we're navigating some perilous waters.
