Ted Bundy, the American abductor, rapist and serial killer, was arrested for the first time in 1975, and would be captured twice more after audacious jailbreaks before he finally faced the electric chair in 1989. This month’s Zac Efron film “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile”, which comes hot on the heels of recent Netflix documentary “The Ted Bundy Tapes,” has reignited interest around the prolific murderer who terrorised women from 1973 to 1978. True crime author Kevin Sullivan spoke to podcast “Generation Why” about his 2016 book “On the Trail of Ted Bundy”.
He recounted how Bundy “hunted” for women, often in plain sight and in crowded places.
Mr Sullivan said: “If you think about it, the normal person is not geared to suspect that something diabolical is happening around them.
“If you’re an abductor of people, I certainly wouldn’t go to a places like Lake Sammamish, where 40,000 people were.
“I would go somewhere else, that’s what normal people think, Bundy didn’t think that way.”
