The Stranger Beside Me: Ted Bundy: The Shocking Inside Story.

Quote #1: "The maternity home was referred to by waggish locals as 'Lizzie Lund's Home For Naughty Ladies.'" (pg.8)]]> 2023-02-23 03:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lardezoe000/xda3wkl052nadttj/wish/2492028133 lardezoe000 https://padlet.com/lardezoe000/xda3wkl052nadttj/wish/2492034812 Bundy's mother had been living with her family in Philadelphia, however, due to the stigma at the time for people in her situation, it was easier for her and Ted to move away and live with family in Washington. In an attempt to give her son a better chance away from the Cowell name, his name was changed to Theodore Robert Nelson. The two settled in Tacoma, Washington. Louise later met a man named Johnnie Culpepper Bundy. They were soon married, and her son was now a Bundy.

Quote #2: "He was not yet five when he had a third name: Theodore Robert Bundy."

He knew something was wrong with the situation but it would take years for him to fully learn the truth. Other than his odd family dynamics, he was considered to be a typical student and young man. Although, there are instances when, even when he was in high school, where people would describe him in drastically different ways. Starting from a young again Ted Bundy was showing very different sides of himself to different people.]]> 2023-02-23 03:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lardezoe000/xda3wkl052nadttj/wish/2492039138 lardezoe000 https://padlet.com/lardezoe000/xda3wkl052nadttj/wish/2492044661 In 1967, Ted met a women named Stephanie. Ted had always liked her and had wanted to be with her. And she did feel the same at a certain time. When she graduated college though, Stephanie left for school in another state, hoping to have broken things off with Ted. However, Ted's relationship with Stephanie—like every relationship he had with women—was incredibly complicated, convoluted, and messy.

Quote #3: "...but she sensed that Ted was foundering, that he had no real plans, no real prospects for the future."]]> 2023-02-23 04:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lardezoe000/xda3wkl052nadttj/wish/2492044661 lardezoe000 https://padlet.com/lardezoe000/xda3wkl052nadttj/wish/2492047668 In 1969 Ted met a women named Meg. They began dating soon after and would be together for many years to come. Even though Ted was with Meg, he never seemed to be truly over Stephanie. Nonetheless, Meg fell in love with Ted and would be standing by his side during a lot yet to come.

Quote #4: "Although his relationship with Meg Anders has been a steady and, to Meg, a committed one for four years, Ted had had no one but Stephanie on his mind..."

Joni Lenz (who survived), Lynda Ann Healy, Donna Gail Mason, Susan Elaine Rancourt, Roberta Kathleen Parks, Brenda Carol Bell, Georgann Hawkins, Janice Ott, and Denise Naslund were all young, college aged women, with long brown hair and a middle part. They were all victims of Bundy.

Nancy Wilcox, Melissa Smith, Laura Aime, Carol DaRonch (attempted kidnapping), Nancy Baird, Debby Kent, and Sue Curtis are all either confirmed or believed to be victims of Bundy in Utah.

Quote #5: "Debby Kent's parents were left to face a bleak, tragic Christmas season, just as Melissa Smith's and Laura Aime's were. Carol DaRonch was afraid to go out along, even in the daylight." (pg.128)

He had been speeding away from a police officer and the many suspicious attributes about, and items in, his car was cause for his arrest on burglary suspicions. This arrest could be considered a catalyst for all of Bundy's subsequent arrests.

Quote #6: "It was the first time in his adult life that Ted Bundy has ever been arrested, and it had been such a chance thing."

Therefore, he was released, however, Utah police had him on constant watch.

While at a preliminary hearing in Colorado, he was allowed up to the courthouse's library so that he could research the law. In this room he was under very little watch and because he was his own attorney, allowed to not wear his handcuffs or shackles. He jumped out of a second story window and ran into the surrounding Aspen mountains.
For six days he remained free and managed to survive in the woods. He was then captured and sent back to Utah.

Quote 8: "On the street outside, a women passing by was startled to see a figure dressed in tans and browns suddenly leap from a window above her. She watched as the man fell, got to his feet and ran, limping, off down the street." (pg.251)
