Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The cases were interrelated, so to clear him of one would clear him of several, maybe all of them. Bundy was innocent, so we wanted to prove it. We split the work. Hugh went to the states of Washington, Oregon, Utah, and Colorado to retrace Bundy’s trail, while I went to Orlando, Florida, to attend his trial for the murder of twelve-year-old schoolgirl Kimberly Leach.
#2 My mother and I didn’t talk a lot about personal matters, except for the fact that she was extremely successful in high school and head of everything. I didn’t learn until much later that they had met that way - at a church social.
#3 I was a radio freak as a kid. I would listen to hours and hours of the Lone Ranger, Big John, and Sparky, and all that stuff. I would lie in bed for hours and hours, listening to news broadcasts exclusively.
#4 I was always concerned that I was underweight, and I never felt I fit in with the other kids. I was shy to introverted in high school, and didn’t have the role models at home that could’ve helped me with school.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The cases were interrelated, so to clear him of one would clear him of several, maybe all of them. Bundy was innocent, so we wanted to prove it. We split the work. Hugh went to the states of Washington, Oregon, Utah, and Colorado to retrace Bundy’s trail, while I went to Orlando, Florida, to attend his trial for the murder of twelve-year-old schoolgirl Kimberly Leach.

#2

My mother and I didn’t talk a lot about personal matters, except for the fact that she was extremely successful in high school and head of everything. I didn’t learn until much later that they had met that way - at a church social.

#3

I was a radio freak as a kid. I would listen to hours and hours of the Lone Ranger, Big John, and Sparky, and all that stuff. I would lie in bed for hours and hours, listening to news broadcasts exclusively.

#4

I was always concerned that I was underweight, and I never felt I fit in with the other kids. I was shy to introverted in high school, and didn’t have the role models at home that could’ve helped me with school.

#5

Bundy was socially unskilled, and he was envious of the kids who lived in brick houses with successful parents. He felt inferior because of the money thing, and his family didn’t have money problems per se, but he was always envious of the kids who lived in brick houses with successful parents.

#6

The opposite of the depression was the manic high, as described by Ted in his recounting of his successful escape from the Glenwood Springs jail on New Year’s Eve of 1977. He had been convicted of kidnapping in Utah the previous year and was awaiting trial for the murder of a nurse.

#7

I was looking for a car with snow tires. I found one, but it was an old jalopy. I cleaned off the windows as best I could and drove down the wide street by the police station. I was scared to death a highway patrolman would come along and arrest me.

#8

The escape was poorly planned and executed. I had no cleverly engineered plan. In fact, it was sloppily done. I felt smaller and smaller and less secure as I watched groups of couples talking with each other.

#9

After his release, Ted realized that being in prison had helped him grow and mature. He felt more confident and secure about himself and his actions. He no longer felt afraid of death or anything else.

#10

I was scared to death in the Salt Lake City jail, where Bundy was taken after his first criminal charge for the kidnap of an intended murder victim, nineteen-year-old Carol DaRonch. I thought I was going to die every night the first few days I was in jail. But none of them tried to escape or anything.

#11

The Leach trial continued, and Ted began to lose his poise. He was fed up with the strain of being a defendant in a case where the verdict was already predetermined. He demanded special attention, and was given it.

#12

I felt no remorse about stealing something like that out of a store. I would only take what I needed, not that that makes any difference. I got my stereo by walking into a hardware store and unhooking the stereo and the amplifier from the display.

#13

I had a passion for plants, and I would spend money on them whenever I could. One time, I bought a huge Benjamina tree that was eight feet tall. I couldn’t afford it, but I had a deep desire for it.

#14

Bundy explained that he would go into stores and steal items he couldn’t afford. He would then take those items home and admire them. He said that the big payoff for him was possessing what he had stolen.

#15

The jury convicted Bundy of first-degree murder.
