Bizzie GoldHOST
I believe it was with Charles Manson, I think.
Bizzie GoldHOST
No, Ted Bundy.
Bizzie GoldHOST
And Ted Bundy, surprisingly in this interview, seemed like a reasonably smart, logical person, which scares the crap out of me.
Bizzie GoldHOST
Um, but he was saying that what pretty much all serial killers have in common is an obsession with increasing levels of more aggressive porn.
Bizzie GoldHOST
Does that mean that if you watch porn you're gonna become a serial killer? No.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We're working on that.
Morgan NorwoodCORRESPONDENT
Documents obtained by our ABC affiliate indicate that officers found a handwritten note referencing serial killer Ted Bundy and included methods for disposing of trash.
Morgan NorwoodCORRESPONDENT
It was unsigned.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I firmly believe that there's going to be more than these five victims.
Mary Ellen O'TooleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Tell me why you don't fit into that definition of a serial killer.
Mary Ellen O'TooleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let's say Ted Bundy, who was out when you were out.
Joseph Paul FranklinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I don't feel like I have anything in common with the dude.
Joseph Paul FranklinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm just a completely different type of person.
Joseph Paul FranklinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A lot of these other criminals, you know, these serial killers, they were just into one thing, strangling women and stuff like that.
Joseph Paul FranklinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
See, they've been trying to associate me with the scumbags like Ted Bundy who were killing innocent women, you know, and take everything political away from my case.
Joseph Paul FranklinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Over and over again, you would hear on the newscast, serial killer of this, serial killer of that, to try to incite hatred against people like me, you know.
Joseph Paul FranklinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I wasn't out for my own pleasure.
RebeccaHOST
If you maintain this, I don't remember shit, I blacked out, when you have zero, zero history of mental illness or blacking out ever before, everyone in Aurora's life will paint you as a monster.
RebeccaHOST
To her, you are Ted Bundy, you're Charles Manson, you're the worst of the worst.
RebeccaHOST
That will be your legacy to her.
RebeccaHOST
So why not write her a letter and tell her exactly what happened? And he's like, Okay.
Chanley PainterHOST
Dr. Jeffrey Smalden has spent five decades exploring some of the darkest corners of the criminal mind.
Chanley PainterHOST
As a forensic psychologist, he has interacted with some of the most notorious killers in American history, including Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Donald Harvey.
Chanley PainterHOST
Now he's sharing those experiences in his new memoir, That Beast Was Not Me, One Forensic Psychologist, Five Decades of Conversations with Killers.
Chanley PainterHOST
Dr. Smaldon joins us to take us inside those encounters, what he learned from coming face to face with people capable of extreme violence, and the unusual path that led him to a career in forensic psychology.

Chanley PainterHOST
Fascinating.
Chanley PainterHOST
So I want to move on.
Chanley PainterHOST
Let's talk about Ted Bundy.
Chanley PainterHOST
You exchanged letters with Ted Bundy while he was on death row.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Be a normal dude, regular guy, who goes out, has fun, goes home, goes to work, handles his business.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Stop fantasizing about being Ted Bundy, stop fantasizing about being in the BTK, and maybe people will want to hang out with you.
Bobby CapucciHOST
I feel zero remorse or zero empathy for Brian Bitch-Ass Kohlberger.
Bobby CapucciHOST
In fact, I'd love to be the one to push him out of a helicopter into the volcano.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Fuck this dude and anybody who's ever supported him.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Kohlberger's past addiction, weight gain, and loss, Tolles said, also show that he clearly felt empty his whole life and may have been attracted to studying criminology at the University of Washington because it gave him a language for his alienation.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Koberger seemed particularly interested in three killers, Ted Bundy, the BTK killer, and Elliot Rodger.
Bobby CapucciHOST
And through them, he identified with the narrative arc that rejection moves to resentment, moves to obsession, moves to control, moves to violence, moves to infamy, Toll said.
Nicole MorrisGUEST
Well, it's interesting, because the last, uh, official sighting is of her catching the train at Beecroft, um, and we think she was heading to Hornsby, uh, because that was the furthest that she could travel by train, um, without sort of then going interstate.
Nicole MorrisGUEST
Her- her destination was Queensland, but we know that she liked to hitchhike because she had done it very successfully, and she'd hitchhiked throughout America at the time of Ted Bundy.
Nicole MorrisGUEST
She, [laughs] she was hitchhiking exactly when he was abducting people, in exactly the same locations, so she was very lucky that nothing happened to her.
Nicole MorrisGUEST
Um, she did travel through America with her boyfriend, Mike, who I spoke to for the book.
Rick BallouHOST
And we went through everything, all the forensics, all the stuff.
Rick BallouHOST
I mean, you go back to Ted Bundy, who obviously committed murders there.
Rick BallouHOST
They didn't have forensics.
Rick BallouHOST
They illegally forced Ted Bundy.
Rick BallouHOST
to get his teeth, to get marks from his teeth.
Rick BallouHOST
There were no dental records or anything along those lines.
Charles LatibeaudiereHOST
Was
Eric ColleyHOST
Debbie Harry from Blondie almost a Ted Bundy victim? Did Van Halen really forbid brown M&Ms from the dressing room? Did Gene Simmons have a cow tongue grafted onto his own after a car accident? Everybody, you've heard these things.
Eric ColleyHOST
I'm going to go out on a limb on that one and just say it didn't
Charles LatibeaudiereHOST
happen, but we're going to get into it.

Debbie HarrySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha, one way or another.
Charles LatibeaudiereHOST
I get it.
Charles LatibeaudiereHOST
She was inspired after a run-in with Ted Bundy.
Eric ColleyHOST
Now, was it Ted Bundy? She says yes.
Francis HuesoHOST
George Washington, for example, as the first president of the United States, left an incredible legacy of leadership and freedom.
Francis HuesoHOST
Ted Bundy, on the other hand, was an American serial killer who kidnapped, raped, and murdered dozens of young women and girls between 1974 and 1978.
Francis HuesoHOST
He left a legacy of pain, crime, and death.
Francis HuesoHOST
These examples, of course, talk about famous or infamous people who affected thousands.
