Ted Bundy archive

On my Internet Archive channel I’ve uploaded an audio file: Chapters 11 and 12 from the audiobook   "Chasing the devil: my twenty-year quest to capture the Green River killer" by David Reichert. Here is the direct link to the audio file: https://archive.org/details/1984-interview-with-ted-bundy-about-the-green-river-killer Reichert’s audiobook is about his   experience pursuing the “Green River killer” from the first victim in 1982 until Ridgway's confession in 2001, and the investigative ideas he developed to track down Ridgway. Ridgway cruised for prostitutes in the early 1980s on a section of the Pacific Coast Highway called “the strip.” He was dubbed the Green River killer because the bodies of several of his victims in the early 1980s were found in or near the river, which runs through south King County. The narrator (actor Dennis Bousikaris) can be heard reading from Reichert’s book, and saying how Reichert and Robert Keppel went to Florida to consult with Ted B...

The Bureau of Vital Statistics of the State of Florida has sent me an electronic copy of Ted Bundy’s marriage certificate, that also bears the date when they processed my request, October 26, 2021, and I am sharing it on my archive.org channel: https://archive.org/details/marriage-certificate If you republish this certificate, please don't add any watermarks to it and link the URL. This copy of the official record was purchased from the Bureau of Vital Statistics, State of Florida by me and fellow researcher Julia Larina. The marriage did indeed take place on February 9, 1980, and was recognized by the State of Florida and filed under number 011687. I'm surprised that Rebecca Morris wrote in her book “Ted and Ann” that the State of Florida didn't recognize the marriage: "He invoked an old Florida law still on the books allowing him to make a declaration in court and marry his former co-worker, Carole Ann Boone. The two had worked together at Seattle’s Department...

An archivist from the Aspen Historical Society has sent me a copy of a long letter written by Ted to the Aspen Times, published in the newspaper's March 24, 1977 edition, in reply to an article which had appeared in the same newspaper earlier that month. I have shared the letter publicly on my archive.org channel: https://archive.org/details/bundy-writes-on-trial-by-newspaper-at-march-24-1977 In the letter Ted basically criticized the article for having been devoted to a rehash of the events which led to his extradition to Colorado as well as the major circumstantial elements present in the prosecution's case against him, and he criticized the article's reliance on the prosecutor's account of the case as a "fact source" without an attempt to balance such a version with a defense viewpoint. He noted down that the prosecutor’s position was biased and so the context presented by the prosecution’s side might be misleading. The fact that the alleged circums...

On my archive.org channel I am sharing an article published in The Aspen Times, June 9, 1977, entitled “The Bundy Manhunt”: it is about the circumstances in which Ted Bundy managed to escape from the Aspen courtroom. Here is the link to the article: https://archive.org/details/the-bundy-manhunt Despite the police department policy that Ted should have always been guarded by two officers, there was only one deputy in the courtroom, and Ted wasn’t shackled (the sheriff had argued that he should be shackled in the courtroom, but Judge Lohr overruled him)... From the article: “From 9 am until 10:30, Colorado Chief Public Defender James Dumas argues against the death penalty. At 10:33, Lohr calls a recess before the prosecution begins its arguments. The judge retires to his chambers. The half-dozen attorneys in the courtroom leave through the main entrance and descend the stairs to the lobby of the courthouse. Three reporters, a single member of public who has been observing the trial, ...

An archivist from the Aspen Historical Society has just kindly sent me a scanned version of an article entitled "Who Is Ted Bundy?" published in The Aspen Times of August 4, 1977. Because the papers were bound the best she could do was this pdf with the article - the edges are a bit difficult to read because of the binding, but readable. It satisfied my personal research. And I'm now sharing the article publicly on my archive.org channel, dedicated to sharing rare materials from my personal stash with everybody: https://archive.org/details/who-is-ted-bundy Was Bundy perhaps a victim of mistaken identity, wonders the author of the 1977 article... Then he points our that a critical link, albeit circumstantial, involves the use of a credit card... “A credit card issued to Bundy was used to buy gas in Glenwood Springs twice on or near Jan 12, 1975, the date Caryn Campbell disappeared. The license number recorded matched that of Bundy’s Volkswagen. A handwriting expert said ...
