A prison letter by Ted Bundy to a Seattle friend dated August 24, 1981 gives us a glimpse into the Bundy-Boone family's preparations to welcome their daughter into the world. Ted's only child, Rosa, would be born exactly two months later. No man was more despised on Florida's Death Row than Arthur Frederick Goode III, who raped and murdered two boys and gloated about it afterward. Goode spent all day on the bars, delivering running commentary on the “sexy” child actors on television, and he whimpered through the night. A University of Washington coed was confronted by a man with a cast on his leg a half hour before the June 11 disappearance of her friend, Georgann Hawkins. Ted Bundy with his newly appointed defense attorney, Stephen “Buzzy” Ware, photographed in Aspen, Colorado on August 6, 1977. Carole Boone and her son Jamey fervently believed in Ted’s innocence until January 19, 1989— five days before his execution. Bundy broke the news of his guilt to his wife over the telephone that evening, and in person to his stepson during a “no contact” visit, separated by a pane of glass. Here Ted describes that painful meeting with Jamey to Washington investigator Bob Keppel on January 20: Clips from the December 1987 competency hearing in Orlando, Florida. Includes courtroom sketches, prosecutor statements, and Bundy being dropped off and picked up from court. Mostly without sound. Found a cool thing today. The original notes from Liz Kloepfer’s call to King County Detective Randy Hergesheimer in October 1974. When 22-year-old Kerry Hardy-May disappeared from Seattle in June of 1972, at first her family wasn’t too worried. After all, Kerry was young, a free spirit, and in a period of transition after recently separating from her husband. So when she didn’t show up at her family home as planned, they assumed she was busy and would be in touch soon. But despite their desperate searches in the months to follow, Kerry wouldn't be found for almost 40 years.
