linda ann healy abduction. >> i was one of many people who listened to her in the morning. and i realized, the day that she wasn't on the air, that there was something unusual. >> she never showed up for work. bundy used to frequent a bar dante's tavern. on the last night of her life, linda ann healy went to dante's with another girl and a friend of theirs. bundy probably did follow them home and waited. and he checked the front door, and it was unlocked. this is what makes this abduction so incredibly surreal. he goes down in the basement, he enters healy's room. he's aware that there's another bedroom on the other side. he would tell a writer later, that what he did was he choked her. he moves her off the bed, he takes her nighty off of her. hangs it up in the closet. he makes the bed almost like in
9:14 pm
a military fashion. and he carries her down into the night. he takes her down the front steps, and they're steep steps. and to wherever his car's parked, and puts her in there. >> he would turn the passenger seat around so it was flat. and i asked him why that -- why he did that once, and he said, that's the way he put his cargo in the care. how's that for disgusting? >> it was a strange, strange abduction. abduction. the chances he took. it's not just that he went out and committed murder, but he seemed impervious to fear. from there, the nightmare began. then donna manson. she disappeared from evergreen state college near olympia. and then you have the abduction of susan rancourt from central washington. >> susan rancourt in ellensburg was on her way to a meeting to see about being a dorm counselor.

9:17 pm
no. he looks like somebody in need. he's got a leg cast on. he's on his crutches. he had placed the crow bar behind the right rear tire. >> basically when i reached the car what happened was i knocked her unconscious with the crowbar. >> he hit her with such force that she came out of one of her shoes and both her earrings flew off. >> there were some handcuffs there along with the crowbar. i handcuffed her and put her in the passenger side of the car a and drove away. >> he would drive to a spot he had picked out weeks in advance. off the main highway. sometimes he would even check the moon so he wouldn't need his headlights to see what he was doing. >> you have a physical person here, one second and seconds later they're gone and nobody has seen anything. >> georgeann hawkins was last seen monday evening shortly after midnight. she had been visiting at the
9:18 pm
beta house and was returning to her house just a half block away down this alley. >> and the speed with which she had to have been abducted tells you that probably the person had done this before. >> police say they will return to this alley at night to determine the lighting of this area. meanwhile they are asking the girls to stay out of the alleys and travel in groups of twos or threes and use only the front doors. >> we really could not find anything definitive that tied all the victims together. >> do you suspect foul play in this disappearance?? >> i think it's too early to suspect foul play. we just got the case this morning so it's hard to say if there's any foul play or not. >> the long and short of it was i again knocked her unconscious and strangled her. >> remarkably, considering the circumstances under which these women disappeared, nothing was seen or heard. >> there were no real clues. nobody saw them leave with anyone. no one saw them in an

>> a wave of fear spread across -- >> someone was abducted young -- >> it's hard to say if there was foul play. >> there was incredible pressure on law enforcement to find the person or persons who were responsible for causing these women to go missing. it was an ultimate challenge. what cleverness or what sophistication of the suspect
9:24 pm
are you looking for that can manage to pull that off? >> there were no clues whatsoever. i mean, it's kind of remarkable that nobody saw anything. lake sammamish was another story. >> lake sammamish state park was huge. it was a magnet for all of us, young and old. >> like a place you would go to in the midwest or something, with this old-fashioned concession stand and, you know, people just coming out with their little sailboats, or coming out to sun. >> july 14th, 1974 the place was absolutely packed. there were 40,000 people there. >> a number of people that day at lake sammamish were taking photos and shooting film. little did they know the police would want to review this footage. >> ted was able to meld into the crowd.
9:25 pm
he was wearing casual, beach-type clothing. he was able to strike up conversations with people. he was able to convince denise naslund and janice ott to help him with the ruse that he had a sailboat, that he had his arm in a fake sling. >> if anybody has seen the silence of the lambs where the killer is trying to get that couch into the van and he's got a cast on, that all came from ted bundy. >> can i help you with that? >> would you? >> sure. >> bundy was a real schemer. >> remember that these abductions were benign on the face of them. they were always bundy
9:26 pm
approaching the women in a state of presumed need or weakness. "can you help me carry my books? my arm's in a sling. can you help me load my sailboat onto my car?" >> there were three women that saw janice ott roll her bicycle up to the beach and lay it down. she had on a yellow bikini. then they observed this man walk up to her. and they heard her get up and say, "hi, i'm jan," and he said, "i'm ted." he gave his real name. >> she was l.a. last seen headed towards the parking lot pushing
9:27 pm
her bike and him next to her. we did have about five or six other women come forward that said that they had been approached by the guy with his arm in a sling. they looked just like >> those women backed off, but janice ott left walking with him at noon and never came back. >> and first, janice went missing. that was earlier in the morning she disappeared. and then later, he came back to the park. the time difference -- one was about 10:00. the other was about 4:30.
9:28 pm
>> it was a sunday afternoon, and my buddy and i had this great idea. well hey, let's take a break. let's go down to the lake, maybe we can grab something to eat. and we noticed this guy just a few feet from us standing in front of the women's bathroom. and he was dressed in nice casual clothes, but the oddest thing about it is he had a cast on his arm. >> it's 4:17, kjr. >> so we were going to, actually being a couple of smart alec teenagers, we were thinking maybe razing the guy a little bit. but it turned out it was our turn to get ice cream. so we lost track of the guy, didn't think anything more about it. >> and that's when denise naslund was abducted. those abductions were very brazen and in front of, literally, thousands of witnesses, but the witnesses did not know what they were seeing. >> with regard to denise
9:29 pm
naslund, her car is in the parking lot. her purse is still there. her keys to her car are still there, but she's not. she's gone. >> who does that? he wasn't satiated with just one. think he was trying to make a statement that day. >> for ted, the thrill of going back to where he had been successful in the morning and be able to abduct another woman was probably very exciting for him. >> it was almost theatrical the way two women disappeared. it was as if the stakes of the story had been raised in this dramatic way. >> it was also critical that people who were at the park that day, who were taking photographs of their friends and family, any filming that they had done,
9:30 pm
turned over their photographs and film to us to see if we could find something that would be a clue. >> the lake sammamish abductions would come back to bite bundy. people saw him and he identified himself as ted. >> there's a ted and he drives a volkswagen. and he's handsome. >> and from the witnesses that saw him, were composite drawings made. >> then when the picture came out, when they finally got a ted bundy picture of this person of interest, no question in our minds, no question that this was the guy. >> each lead has to be followed. every phone call has to be made. most lead no one. some pan out with a speck of information that may some day clear up the mystery of janice ott and denise naslund. >> it was a very creepy

when she said no, i want to stay in seattle with my friends. >> we were at the houseboat where i lived and i took a picture of him. >> what makes this photo that surfaced from marylynne chino so incredibly interesting and incredibly important, is because he's dressed in basically the same outfit he that had worn at lake sammamish on july 14th of 1974. >> she was crying and i just kind of gave him a goodbye and he got in the car and drove away. >> within 12 or so hours he would be murdering the idaho hitchhiker. >> after this picture appeared, the task force received one call among thousands of others. this particular caller said, "a man named, ted bundy, looked, quote, 'something like the picture.'" >> liz turned in ted and the
9:38 pm
police never did anything with it. >> she called the police more than once stating that she believed her boyfriend ted bundy was the killer. >> bundy went to the university of utah school of law. >> when i was there at the law school, i would have regular contact with ted bundy. everyone really liked him. there were periods of time when he was absent from class, and people would occasionally comment on that, "oh, ted's gone again." >> the first semester he's in class three times. he's like a kid in a candy store. he upped it in utah and he killed around four women in just a matter of weeks. >> i threw away everything, the handcuffs, everything. i'd get mad at myself a few weeks later because i'd have to go out and buy another pair. i mean it's not comical but that's what would happen. >> everything bundy had within what is known as his murder kit, there were reasons behind it. >> the tire iron, the garrote, and of course, gloves.
9:39 pm
>> and it wouldn't matter the item, bundy planned very carefully to use everything that he had. but his standard murder kit, it wasn't -- the items weren't there by chance. they all had a reason. they were all connected to murder. >> he said, "i always tried to get rid of all the evidence that would put me to the crime. and so that meant i had to restock my toolkit all the time." ♪ joy to the world the lord has come ♪ >> bundy ran to the mormon church as a kind of refuge kind of thing. that was his angle at that point. they didn't know he was a bad guy. so they took him in and they mentored him. he was going to join the church. >> i baptized ted after we discussed the church with him and he made commitments. so we immediately started inviting him to our social events, parties, dinners. he was a gourmet cook and he'd cook dinner for about seven of us. fabulous cook and we chatted and had fun and played games.
9:40 pm
>> it's actually not uncommon for serial killers to have, quote-unquote, a normal life while they're violently killing people. >> shortly after 7:00 on the evening of november the 8th, 1974, carol daronch parked her car in this parking lot at the fashion mall. shortly after, began what she now calls, her personal nightmare. >> what makes the carol daronch abduction so pivotal is that she's the only one who ever got away from bundy. >> she was approached by a man near walden's book store. this man identified himself as officer rosland. >> and he said, "do you drive a camaro?" and she said, "yes." he said, "well, my partner is holding a suspect. this individual tried to get into your car." >> i was starting to feel uneasy, and i thought i could smell alcohol and that's when he promptly pulled out his wallet and showed me a badge. >> they walked across the street to a laundromat.
9:41 pm
and there was a side door marked 139. and he said that that was a substation. and he went and tried and he said, "the door's locked." >> he said they would have to go down to the main murray police department to sign a complaint. >> he drove a volkswagen, and i thought, well that's kind of odd, but maybe he's undercover, and i got in. he headed down a side street, and then he suddenly pulled over up on the side of a curb by an elementary school, and that's when i just started freaking out, what are we doing? >> he stops the car and he attacks her. and she knows she's in the fight for her life. >> he grabbed my arm and got the one handcuff on one wrist, and he didn't get the other one on. and the one was just dangling. i had never been so frightened in my entire life. >> she jumped out of the car. the man jumped out waving what looked like a crowbar. she broke loose, ran to the street, flagged down a passing car, and an elderly couple
9:42 pm
drove daronch to the murray police station. the search for her abductor began. >> and so this is the first time we have an eyewitness of somebody who survives a bundy attack. >> sometimes the urges become such a compulsion that they can't control themselves, and that's when they make mistakes. his compulsion that day was so high, he had to kill somebody. the first one didn't work he's now frustrated and so he goes to find a second victim. >> we were having dinner in ted's apartment. it was when the composite pictures of the so-called "ted murderer" were coming out in salt lake city, because a girl had been kidnapped, and she had survived. and ted said, "i know how someone could do this. you would kidnap the person in one county, take her to a second county, murder her, throw her
9:43 pm
clothing in a fourth county and her body or body parts somewhere else." i think ted was a little proud of how he was getting away with it and explained exactly how he was doing it, knowing that we wouldn't ever catch on. >> at the same time while he's committing new murders in utah, the cops in the state of washington are finding bones, and those bones are ultimately going to come back to haunt him. >> the bodies of four more young women were found on taylor mountain. all of them had been strangled or bludgeoned by this brutal killer. >> the heat is building up on him. ted then starts looking for a new killing field da-- colorado.

step out, mr. bundy. >> what do we have here, ken? let's see. oh, it's an indictment. all right. why don't you read it to me? >> for the chi omega murders, a grand jury in tallahassee issued an indictment against ted bundy. ken katsaris, the sheriff of leon county with the cameras rolling, the lights on, read through the whole indictment. >> let's read it. let's go. >> theodore robert bundy, you are charged -- >> and of course he kept interrupting me, but i just kept on. >> it was combination crime
10:35 pm
drama, combination political theater. >> he still looked like the boy next door, until that night that the indictments were read. and that's when the devil came out. he looked each of us in the eye. this was the killer, in that room. you could feel it. >> i'll plead not guilty right now. >> and your grand jurors being present, said court further gives the court -- >> after ted is charged with the murder and assaults at florida state, you still have these cases in the northwest but clearly florida has the best evidence. so the prosecutors obviously got together and said, look, we're going to prosecute ted bundy. >> i wanted to get him off the streets forever. >> the trial got off kind of slowly because bundy was not cooperating with his attorneys. ted bundy wanted to be the one who was in charge. >> your honor, i am here today because i assert my innocence. >> the judge allowed ted bundy to act as co-counsel.
10:36 pm
>> for a defendant to be part of the defense team is extraordinarily unusual. it happened exactly once in my career and that was mr. bundy. >> he had gone to law school. this wasn't so far-fetched for him to be in a courtroom, and so, instead of being the guy in the orange jumpsuit who looked like that crazy serial killer suspect, he was the lawyer guy. >> a lawyer that represents himself has got a fool for a client. i want to caution you about that, but i'm not going to deny you that right. >> some things are best done by yourself than others. >> it's the ideal stage for ted bundy. he's self-assured. he thinks he can manipulate and convince a jury through his charm and good looks that he couldn't have possibly committed these crimes. >> court will come to order. >> every day during the trial the courtroom was filled. some reporters, but mostly spectators. a number of them were young women who were i think just
10:37 pm
drawn to the allure of seeing this guy on trial. >> carole boone was one of the constant personalities. >> carole boone actually met bundy back in his washington state days. >> so she knew him before any of these things happened. she was his advocate. she called him bunny. she was affectionate towards him. >> he literally sort of pulls her into his web, convinces her he's not guilty. >> your conclusion is what? >> that he did not commit the murders in washington state. that he did not abduct carol daronch. that he did not murder or abduct any of the other women in utah. that he did not kill caryn campbell. that he did not commit the crimes at chi omega, in lake city, or on dunwoody street in tallahassee. >> she was a true believer, and she wanted everybody else to have the same conviction that he was not a guilty person. >> i do. >> i called ray crew of the florida state university police department to kinda set the
10:38 pm
scene of what he saw whenever he got to the chi omega house. up until then, mr. bundy had let his lawyers cross-examine the other witnesses that i had called. for some reason mr. bundy decided that he wanted to cross-examine officer crew. >> morning, officer. >> bundy's cross examination of officer ray crew, in my mind, was the determining factor of the case. >> he asked him to describe in detail this horrific crime scene. >> and can you describe what you saw when you lifted up the covers, as much detail as you can recall and if you need to use your report, please feel free to do so. >> she was lying basically face down. there was a considerable amount of blood around her head, matted in her hair, on the walls. >> there was a palpable reaction in the courtroom and amongst the jury when he did that.
10:39 pm
>> uh, her mouth was open and her eyes were open. there was what appeared to be a nylon stocking netted around her neck. >> as i was describing her injuries and the blood, his grip on the lectern tightened up and his breathing became shallow and sped up. his eyes actually got a little bit larger. i had the distinct impression that he was vicariously reliving it and enjoying it. >> it was so chilling, it was sickening. as the trial went into its final week, bundy claimed he didn't know how he got caught up in the web of crime. the week began with the prosecution introducing evidence to prove that ted bundy was the man seen by an eyewitness leaving the scene of the crime. that ted bundy's hair matched hair found in a pantyhose mask. that a bite mark left on one of the victims could have been made only by ted bundy. >> the bite mark evidence, it was both new and unorthodox, and compelling in the trial.
10:40 pm
>> the defendant was cool and collected throughout most of the trial. minutes before the verdict was returned, bundy told abc news in a telephone interview that he was prepared for the worst. >> publish the verdicts, madam clerk. >> the state of florida versus theodore robert bundy. verdict. we the jury find the defendant, theodore robert bundy, as to count two of the indictment murder in the first degree upon one margaret bowman, guilty as charged. >> poll the jury, madam clerk. >> ted's ultimately convicted basically of all the charges. the jury recommends he gets death. the judge gives him death. >> it is further ordered that on such scheduled date that you be put to death. >> after the chi omega trial ended and he was convicted in those murders, he was then facing a new trial. >> the second trial was over the kidnapping and murder of kimberly leach in lake city, florida. >> it was a very compelling
10:41 pm
circumstantial evidence case and in my opinion, much stronger than the case in miami. it did not surprise me at all that the verdict was guilty. >> then in the penalty phase, bundy represented himself. he called carole boone and put her on the witness stand, and had her testify about how much she loved him. >> and something out of the blue happens. he actually proposes to carole boone in front of a camera. >> carole, do you want to marry me? >> yes. >> and i want to marry you? >> yes. >> and then he said, "i marry you, and i now pronounce us man and wife." >> at that time under florida law if you asked someone to marry and the person says "yes," and there's a notary republic there, it's a legal marriage. >> that did it. signed it, sealed it, and delivered it. and they married right there in the middle of penalty phase.
10:42 pm
>> now ted bundy is a convicted murderer, he's a new husband, and he is, in effect, a dead man walking. >> i don't think anybody doubts that i've done some bad things, the question is what of course, and how, and maybe, most importantly, why? ♪ ♪'cause this is already bigger ♪'this is already bigger than love♪ dare to be devoted. jared. ♪ give the gift of devotion with our incredible selection of jewelry including hundreds of pieces under $299 dare to be devoted. only at jared. dare to be devoted.

i think people are interested in why. people constantly ask me why? >> ted bundy's now on death row. and you have a whole range of people who still want to talk to him. >> we don't understand what makes a person like that click. what drove him to do what he did?
10:47 pm
we want to try to figure that out. >> ted bundy primarily talked to bob keppel, a homicide detective from seattle and bill hagmaier, a fbi profiler. >> we were interviewing serial killers, serial rapists. we were looking for understanding. how you or someone like you -- got away with what you did. and he said, "do you think i'm going to say i did anything to you?" and i said, "no, i don't think so at all. i'm just gonna ask you your perceptions on different cases." >> he then launches into conversations about quote unquote helping him with other serial killers. >> the guy who's killing these women, it's like a hobby to him. well, maybe more than that, an obsession. >> and in telling things about what the killer might have done, he's actually telling on himself. >> it became clear to me that went back to a lot of his crime scenes. >> he's returning to see the bodies. i imagine whatever drives him to
10:48 pm
do that, whether it's curiosity or desire to make sure he didn't leave any evidence there, or just some kind of thrill. >> he said that place will always be sacred to them, particularly if they killed there. >> while ted bundy is on death row he's even figured out a way to manipulate the system and possibly father a child. >> he married carole boone. we think the guards allowed them to have an element of privacy to where he could have sexual intercourse with her. >> there were pictures at the time of ted bundy with carole and a child. and it's clear the photograph was taken on death row. >> on january 24th at 7:00 a.m., the death warrant will be in effect. >> just a few days before his execution, he decides he's going to start confessing.
10:49 pm
he felt, if he finally starts doling out information, perhaps the state will keep him alive indefinitely. >> he became very desperate. and he wanted to offer the authorities something called bones for time. >> i mean, i'm the only one in possession of this information. that's just the way it is. to do a proper job for everybody, i'm going to need some time. >> so bill hagmeir was quite successful in getting bundy to actually confess. >> you've been involved in how many homicides? >> well, we went over this a little bit earlier, and we came up with 30. >> would you just try to summarize what states they were in and what periods of time? >> california, oregon, washington, idaho, utah, colorado, and florida between 1973 and 1978.
10:50 pm
>> experts think the number is much higher. >> it could've been well over 100. but we'll never know that. >> he said, "most of these girls were good young christian/jewish girls." he said, "whose parents bought them up to love and help other people." and he said, "i exploited that." and he said, "it is possession, because i can just look in their eyes. and their last breath comes out. and that breath is mine. and they're a part of me forever." >> he's talked about, you know, having sex with them while they were unconscious or having sex with them, which is called necrophilia, after they've died. >> in a couple of the cases, and i'm not sure how many, but you opted to sever the heads from the victims. how many were there? do you recall of the 30? >> oh, that's perhaps half a dozen. >> he wrote down 12, you know, on a piece of paper. while he was saying a half a dozen, he wrote 12. >> now all of a sudden he wants
10:51 pm
to tell the truth. for him to be negotiating for his life over the bodies of victims is despicable. >> you've been after this for 15 years. a couple of months is not going to make any difference. >> you don't negotiate with a murderer. you don't negotiate with a killer. >> one of the things that had been traditional is that death-row inmates had been allowed a last interview of their choosing. bundy had chosen dr. james dobson. >> i don't want to die. i'm not gonna kid you. i kid you not. >> dr. james dobson was a crusader against pornography. >> well-meaning, decent people will condemn behavior of a ted bundy, while they're walking past a magazine rack full of the very kinds of things that send young kids down the road to be ted bundys. >> that damn james dobson interview was ted bundy's last

>> there was a fear. there was real fear in ted bundy, and a knowledge that he was gonna die. >> the white smoke was a sign that florida's electric chair was powered-up. prison officials say the execution is on schedule. >> they walked him over and sat him down in the chair. then they dropped the hood over him. and you could tell that the switch had been thrown by bundy's fists clenching. i thought to myself, i wonder how many throats those fingers have tightened around. >> i can tell you that theodore bundy was executed at 7:16 this morning in the electric chair in florida state prison. >> at 7:16 this morning bundy was indeed executed. the hearse with his remains went by this street.

>> i remember sitting on the sofa with my fiancé and crying and feeling that lisa and margaret are finally at peace. >> it's been 30 years since ted bundy was executed, but we collectively still have this fascination about him. >> an anniversary like that always provides an opportunity to kind of look back and see what the legacy of somebody was. zac efron plays ted bundy. in many ways, we are taking his kind of teen heartthrob image, and turning that on its head. we're understanding why women were so attracted to this charismatic killer through zac's performance. >> at the center of the ted bundy story is the idea that you could have sat next to him, that you could have been in a relationship with him, and yet, had no idea of what he was up to. >> there was the outside bundy and then there was the inside
10:58 pm
bundy. that's a whole different world right behind his eyes. >> i think the continuing fascination with mr. bundy results from a myth that he is this charming, intelligent individual and that somehow that charm and intelligence was involved in the murder of these women, when in fact, he didn't charm these women that he killed. he attacked them. he tricked them. he bashed them in their head and he killed them. >> being a rare survivor of ted bundy, it makes me feel like i have to represent those women who did not survive. and i hope that i always can do that, because i don't want them forgotten. >> i feel absolutely no animosity towards any other person i ever sent to death row. i still hate ted bundy and i
10:59 pm
