Ted Bundy signed postcard from Colorado, 1977

 

Supernaught is selling a new postcard that Ted Bundy sent to Mary Delong. The handwritten postcard was addressed to Mary DeLong, from Seattle, Wa. It’s a Colorado Springs postcard postmarked from Colorado Springs, CO March 1977. Bundy has hand dated this March 1, 1977 less than a year before his Colorado escape. 

Here is the transcript of what Ted wrote on the postcard:

3/1/77

 

Dear Mary,

     This is definitely no substitute for a letter but, considering my spasmatic penmenship [sic] it is certainly prettier.

Aspen is supposed to be a spectacular place. One of these days I hope they give me a tour. I don’t have a view apartment.

    Am feeling great!

           love, ted

Hinckley-Bundy Correspondence

In the pdf file provided at this link: https://archive.org/details/john-hinckley-ted-bundy-correspondence ... I'm sharing Ted Bundy's 1986 handwritten correspondence with failed presidential assassin John Hinckley Jr.. Hinckley was the first to write to Ted Bundy on death row, and the two established a correspondence which spanned about four months. Two of Bundy's reply letters were discovered when Hinckley's room at St. Elizabeth's Psychiatric Hospital, where he was confined after being found not guilty by reason of insanity, was searched. The letters created a media sensation in April 1987, when federal prosecutors used them to protest Hinckley's request for a holiday furlough from the hospital, saying that they were evidence of Hinckley's obsession with Bundy. During the subsequent investigation, Bundy claimed to have destroyed his letters from Hinckley. He hadn't destroyed them however: he first gave the letters to a friend to hold for hi...

  I am sharing on my Internet Archive page some more interesting evidence photos (some of them rare) from the Ted Bundy investigation, stored in the King County Sheriff's Office archives, and made accessible to the public by Kiro 7: https://archive.org/details/ted-bundy-victim-susan-rancourt.-2 The original link on the Kiro 7 website was found by fellow Bundy researcher Julia Larina. Some photos in this collection show remains from the Issaquah dump site and the Taylor Mountain dump site, others are photos of Lynda Healy's room (the room where she was believed to have been murdered or rendered unconscious), as well as exterior shots of Lynda’s house, and there are also photos of Bundy and his victims.

The Taylor Mountain dump site in rural King County

Image
The Taylor Mountain dump site, where the power lines cross, four miles south of I-90, was the place where Ted Bundy left the remains of at least four of his victims (Donna Manson may have been the fifth victim buried in that area, according to Ted’s own confession to detective Robert Keppel). Ted would carry the bodies up and through the foliage 1,000 feet northeast of the intersection of the power line road and highway 18. Aerial view of Taylor Mountain, March 1975. The road on which Ted took his victims and dumped them, was the service road that followed powerlines and can be clearly seen in this photo. The cars at the entrance belong to members of the search team. More photos of the Taylor Mountain dumpsite can be seen on my Internet Archive site:  https://archive.org/details/untitled-01_202202/Untitled-01.jpg  Thank you to Brad Fennell and Chris Mortensen who helped me identify the Taylor Mountain photos that KCSO sent me unlabeled. A 10-28-75 police report noted that...
