Ted Bundy archive

          Authors, former attorneys, and criminal psychologists have posited divergent opinions regarding the origins of Ted’s homicidal tendencies. Most agree that dark spirits must have converged upon him at some point during his formative years to incite such unbridled savagery toward young women. “There had to be some history of violence against him... he didn’t get that way by reading Playboy,” said Bundy’s lead counsel, James Coleman.           Robert Ressler, a former FBI criminal profiler who spent a large part of his law enforcement career studying the patterns of violent predators such as Bundy and Chicago serial murderer John Wayne Gacy, was Howard Teten’s colleague at the National Academy. In his book Whoever Fights Monsters , Ressler wrote, “there were strong indications that Bundy was physically and sexually abused by members of his family.”         ...

From that exchange, it emerged that there was a two-month hiatus between Anderson’s alleged sighting and Leach’s actual disappearance.  Below, excerpts from Africano’s December 15, 1982 brief: “The entire scenario, as described by Anderson, leaves little doubt that he had the opportunity to see the abduction of the Leach girl.

From the time he first reported his revelation, to Dekle, until he testified at the suppression hearing, he gave varying estimations of what time of day he saw the ‘abduction’. His first answer before the court on the subject was: ‘...Well...
