Part Three

June 21

Hugh takes over. This was the second part of a good-guy/bad-guy interview technique. Bundy recognized that. What he wasn’t prepared for was hostile questioning which would cut back and forth between his “speculations” and the facts of his story.

HA: The cafeteria is closed for cleaning, so you’ll have to do with some potato chips and ice cream bars. Maybe today is “lean and mean” day.

TB: Every day is that in here. But then I suppose the Starke Hilton isn’t so wonderful either. Did you get with Carole last night?

HA: No, we met this morning, just outside the prison. She sent some mail and some vitamin pills. You know, she thinks you’re getting ready to make a mad dash for the outside. She notices that you’re on edge and maybe even it’s something you’ve said to her. I don’t know. I cannot quite get on the same wavelength with Carole. She is so protective of you that anybody else. . . almost. . . is a bastard going in.

TB: What do you mean she thinks I’m going? She doesn’t. . .

HA: She thinks, or at least by what she says, it appears she figures you’re going to make a try at it.

TB: Sheesh. (he peers out the window in the door where a guard saunters close every few minutes.) Not so loud. That’s not very popular to discuss. Not even if you’re not planning to travel. (extra loud) And, I’m not!

HA: Okay, okay. I want to talk about these stories that the victims all were physically similar. You know, long dark hair, parted in the middle, hoop earrings, et cetera. People have said that the killings were not random and the supposed similarities prove that.

TB: They had a tendency to just fit the general criteria of being young and fairly attractive (long pause) and alone. Too many people have bought this crap that all the girls were similar – hair about the same color, parted in the middle, close to same height, blah, blah, blah – but if you look at it, almost everything was dissimilar: time, place of disappearance, physical description. . . all of it. Physically, they were almost all different, but. . .

HA: But how would you know? Some of them look similar in the file photos. Other than height and weight, which did vary as much as anything, how could you be so sure of their differences. . . unless you were there?

TB (abruptly): You’re trying to weasel in where there is nothing to gain. I know about these victims because I’ve been accused of killing them. . . uh, most of them. . . and so I read everything I can get my hands on about the various cases. How in hell do you know all about the victims? How do I know you weren’t there, old buddy!

HA: Touché! Okay, let’s dig in a bit more, mixing some fact, logic, and a bit of amateur psychology. Were most of these girls watched for long
