Ted Bundy

The problem was, he just looked and sounded nothing like a sex killer. Not only a sex killer; one of the worst the United States had ever known. How could this clean-cut, handsome, well-groomed man who spoke articulately and intelligently possibly be the same man who bludgeoned young women into unconsciousness and strangled them? How could he possibly be the kind of man to rape and even have sex with their corpses long after death? To grotesquely apply make-up to their dead bodies at the places in the mountains where he had dumped them and lie beside them? To decapitate them with a hacksaw? It did not seem possible, but it was. Bundy murdered thirty young women although some say he killed more, possibly as many as one hundred.

His first murder victim was twenty-one-year-old student Lynda Healy. For some time, he had been looking in windows, watching women undress, graduating to beating them on the head with a piece of wood. In January 1974, he had attacked eighteen-year-old Sharon Clarke at home. He beat her repeatedly with a crowbar until she was unconscious and then thrust a piece of wood inside her vagina, causing dreadful internal injuries. He did not kill her, however. On 1 February, he battered Lynda Healy into unconsciousness before carrying her out to his car. He drove her to Taylor Mountain, about twenty miles to the east of Seattle, where he forced her to take off her pyjamas and raped her. He then beat her to death.

In the next six months, he killed seven more times. On 12 March, nineteen-year-old Donna Manson was abducted walking to a jazz concert on the Evergreen State College campus, in Olympia, Washington. Her body was never found. On 17 April, eighteen-year-old Susan Elaine Rancourt disappeared as she walked across Ellensburg’s Central Washington State College campus at night. On 6 May, twenty-two-year-old Kathy Parks vanished from Oregon State University in Corvallis while innocently walking to another dorm hall to have coffee with friends. On 1 June, twenty-two-year-old Brenda Carol Ball disappeared from the Flame Tavern in Burien, Washington. On 11 June, eighteen-year-old Georgeann Hawkins disappeared from behind her sorority house at the University of Washington, and on 14 July, twenty-three-year-old Janice Ann Ott and nineteen-year-old Denise Marie Naslund were abducted several hours apart from Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah, Washington.

Three of the girls were taken to Taylor Mountain. The last two were raped at a house near to the park in which they were abducted, the second being raped in full view of the other girl. It was a new thrill for him.

The method he used to abduct Janice Ott and Denise Naslund was generally the way he always did it. Calling himself by his own Christian name, he approached them with his arm in a sling asking for help to unload his sailing boat from his car. When they arrived at the car park, however, they would discover that there was no boat. Ted told them that they would have to help him get it from his house which was nearby.
