on everything you buy online today we
will again be entering the realm of the
macabre
we've already featured some despicable
men in our other shows on killers
but perhaps today's focus beats the
other serial killers hands down
in view of his sheer murderousness
what's perhaps
more surprising is that today's serial
killer was an educated fella
and in appearance could have been the
quiet boy next door
or the guy who sat opposite you in the
office this is one of the reasons he was
able to gain the trust of the people
that he brutally killed
he plagued the streets of the usa in the
1970s
and it's thought he committed even more
crimes than he admitted to
so without further ado welcome to this
episode of the infographic show
america's most evil serial killer ted
bundy
ted bundy was born on november 24th 1946
his life ended in florida's electric
chair on january 24th
1989. his last words were jim and fred
i'd like you to give my love to my
family and friends he didn't ask for any
kind of special final meal
so he was given the standard meal for
florida's death row
which was steak eggs hash browns toast
with butter
jelly milk coffee and juice according to
reports
he didn't touch any of it bundy denied
killing women at first
and fought the charges for around a
decade he even married a girl while he
was on trial
but she gave up on him when the truth
came out ted had a strange start in life
as his young mother was ashamed she had
him out of wedlock and
so young ted grew up believing a lie he
had been told that he was actually the
adopted son of his grandparents
and that his mother was his sister he
discovered the truth later in life
he would never know his father stories
differ as to what his household was like
but it seems his grandfather had violent
rages and that his grandmother was often
an
unhappy victim of those rages while ted
was handsome
and apparently easy to talk to he would
later admit that he found making friends
difficult i didn't know what made people
want to be friends he once said
i didn't know what underlay social
interactions
he did normal things any young man might
do such as go to church
and date women he had girlfriends but
upon any kind of rejection
he would seek vengeance he went to
university but it seems he was often
distracted
or not interested in the subject matter
it seems psychology was his thing
and he graduated with honors from the
university of washington in 1972
he even worked on the phones at a
suicide prevention hotline center
and again he seemed to his colleagues
like a normal sort of guy
soon after this he enrolled in law
school and became the assistant director
on the seattle crime prevention advisory
commission
one of the most unsettling things he did
while working in this position
was write a pamphlet offering women
advice on how to prevent
being raped bundy of course would become
a serial rapist
in fact he probably already had raped by
then
so why do people use the superlative
most evil
well firstly it's thought that bundy
killed many more people than he admitted
to killing
he admitted to murdering at least 30
women but some people believe he may
have killed as many as a hundred women
bundy told different people different
stories but police investigating him
believe that the killing may have
started when he was just a teenager
this is just speculation though it's
widely believed that he kidnapped and
killed an eight-year-old when he was
just 14
but there is no significant proof and
bundy always denied that
we can say the real proof of his
villainy started in 1974 when bundy was
just 27 years old
we can't go into details about every
murder because there are too many
and we feel that some other crimes are
just too gruesome to describe to you
we will say that he chose young women
usually students
he would often attack them with an
object while they were sleeping
bludgeoning them to death or close to
death after this
he would sexually assault them on other
occasions it's thought he would gain
women's trust
just because he knew how to talk and
sometimes he would wear his arm in a
sling
to give the women the feeling he was
injured and so perhaps not very
dangerous
bundy would often decapitate his victims
and sometimes keep the heads as a kind
of trophy
many of his victims bodies were never
found but one of the worst things
is that bundy was actually on the radar
of the police for some time
but they just needed more evidence to
arrest him for murder it's likely they
had no idea as to the extent of his
viciousness
in 1976 he was charged with kidnapping
and assault and a year later he was
charged with murder
in prison it seems escape was always on
his mind
and at one point while serving time in
utah state prison he was found hiding
outside the prison yard
with a bag containing what was called an
escape kit
bundy was in some ways very smart and he
outfoxed
authorities on many occasions in 1977 he
was sent to pitkin county courthouse
whereupon he asked to go to the library
he had chosen to defend himself
given his law experience and so did not
have to wear shackles and handcuffs
he said he wanted to visit the library
to do some research
whoever gave him permission to do so
must have regretted it for the rest of
his or her life
because bundy jumped out of a window and
ran he headed towards aspen mountain
and found an old abandoned cabin in the
woods six days later
he was recaptured was tired hungry and
in pain due to a sprained ankle that
resulted from his window jump
believe it or not bundy would escape
again but he would get much farther
relying on stolen cars and stolen food
after his next escape he headed to
florida
and once settled he went over to florida
state university's chai omega sorority
house
there he walked into dorms where female
students were sleeping he attacked four
women
in the space of 15 minutes some sources
saying more like an hour
bludgeoning them and assaulting them in
other ways he killed
two of them and left the other two with
serious physical injuries
and psychological scars that would last
a lifetime the community was in shock
and notices were left around campus
warning students to keep their windows
and doors locked
years later one of the surviving girls
told the washington post
i looked hard at him but to this day i
remember
nothing bundy had used a blunt object to
savagely
and quickly beat the girls unconscious
at the time of the report
bundy hadn't yet been executed one of
his victims
still bearing the scars of his attack
was asked if she wanted to see him die
he never gave any of us a stay she said
the biggest injustice is that margaret
and lisa had to die so violently
so young it hurts all the time but she
added
being a christian it is very difficult
to watch him die
it's thought bundy killed a young girl
of 12 shortly after the attacks at the
sorority house
he was later picked up for driving a
vehicle listed as stolen
he tried to run but to no avail the cop
who arrested him had no idea who he had
got in his car
apparently on the way to jail bundy told
the cop
i wish you had killed me films and
documentaries have been made about this
maniac
and you can even watch interviews of him
on youtube most people think he was a
classic sociopath
he seemed to fly into rages had a very
high view of himself
could be very charming and articulate
and seem to have a distinct lack of
empathy
in one interview bundy blames not
himself but pornography
for leading him down a very rotten path
he said it was
possession that made him want to kill
the possession of taking a life
and later of keeping the body all kinds
of psychological diagnoses have been
made to describe bundy
ranging from psychopathy bipolar
disorder
multiple personality disorder
anti-social personality disorder
and narcissistic personality disorder
but we will let you decide
what drove this demon to do the things
he did well
we don't know about you but after that
