Episode Description from the Publisher

Part 1 of a 4 part seriesJim Chapman brings you into the shadows of one of America’s most notorious serial killers: Ted Bundy. Behind the handsome face, law-school smile, and easy charm lurked a predator who terrorized the United States from 1974-1978.From his first known murders in Washington state to his cross-country killing spree, daring prison escapes, and final rampage in Florida, Bundy left behind a trail of at least thirty confirmed victims— young women who never stood a chance against his calculated manipulation. Jim examines how a seemingly ordinary man used his intelligence, good looks, and fake casts and crutches to lure victims into his Volkswagen Beetle, and how he repeatedly slipped through the fingers of law enforcement. You’ll hear about the shocking courtroom moments, the media circus that turned him into a celebrity monster, and the psychological profile that still fascinates criminologists today. From his troubled childhood to his final days on death row, this is the complete, unflinching story of Ted Bundy—the charming killer whose crimes changed the way America hunts monsters.Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of violence and SA.
