>> sometimes we like to see bad things happen on the internet. >> that's 7,000 degrees. you're going to blow your skin off. >> i can't believe i'm capturing this on camera. >> neither can we. so let's investigate. caught on camera, viral videos, bogus or bona fide. watch out, kids. >> nfl players are some of the most skilled athletes in the world. >> pull. ready? go. but is this even humanly possible? >> we like to imagine our professional athletes are these sort of super heros. >> they are put into these situations where you really

believe they're exhibiting theaz super human feat of skill. >> the videos are part of a web series called fantasy files, promoting nfl.com's fantasy football league. >> right now there's about 30 million people playing fantasy football a year. we want them to sign up with the most authentic place to play, the nfl. >> the video is suddenly reenforcing the fantasy. >> time to pick me for your league. >> that's why you picked me. >> in 2006 the series launches online. >> pick me. >> within days each video racks up millions of hits. >> it took on a life of its own. >> i watched every one. it wasn't because i was in them. i thought, these are great videos. >> it's so cool because it does create a lot of conversation.

some people believe that it's true. >> armchair quarterbacks across the globe try to tackle the authenticity of the video. >> my first impression is they're fake. if he can nail a disc flying in the air, he should have a lot more super bowl rings. >> when i first saw this i totally bought into it. >> it doesn't seem that out of the ordinary. they're athletes. why wouldn't they be able to do something like this? >> he would never do something that ridiculous and reckless, because he would completely ruin his season if he injured himself. >> all good point. >> were those real or fake? i think everyone should watch super bowl 42 and watch the catch david tyree made when he caught the ball in a pack of players in his helmet. that's real. they're the best of the best. and there's plenty more moments

on the field like that. >> okay. that's not clearly a yes or no answer. nfl quarterback and star of one of the videos should be able to take us behind the scenes. >> i would say it was pretty straight forward. i picked up the football, i threw the football. i just threw them as hard as i could. it took a little while, but it was worth it. it was a lot of fun. i got a good reaction from it. >> so we're not getting anywhere with him either. what about tight end chris cooley. >> i showed up and said we bought about 15 sheets of sheet rock. you probably be able to do it in one. it took 15 takes. by far the hardest part of the video was getting the ball back through the sheet rock. i started to get cuts and scrapes all over my arm. so they put makeup on the cuts on my arm.

but it didn't hurt. >> okay, so cooley is playing defense against doubters, too football fans want to get to the bottom of the debate. many try the stunts out for themselves. >> all right. watch this. >> some were really bad. >> oh! >> the worse they got, the more fun we had watching them. >> very funny. but we still can't definitively answer if the original videos are real or fake. time to bring in the vince lombardi of viral video debunking. aka. captain disillusion. >> greetings children, captain disillusion here. >> i would be willing to take my reputation on on the fact that these videos are not real. >> here's a highlight from the

captain. >> gentleman, i give you nfl fantasy files. chris cooley positions himself behind the whal, but the pass serves as a transition to a shot of him behind the wall where a hole is cut. a he thrust his hands through the hole and elegant animation of dust and debris does the rest. a moment later the football is placed in cooley's hands, and cooley emerges victorious. >> pull. >> and what about joe flaco at the shooting range? >> they filmed every element that makes this happen separately. joe throwing the ball, the ball flying there the sky, and the clay pigeon exploding and combined them together to make it look real. >> all interesting theorys, but

until we hear otherwise from the source, that is just what they are, theorys. we may never have a clear winner in the bogus versus bona fide rivalry. one thing is for sure, the fantasy files are entertaining. >> whether you think it's real or whether you think it's fake almost doesn't matter. >> people like to see other people do cool things. on the edge of being believable or not. man, did he really do that? check this out. 30 seconds. no way. it was really neat for me to be a par of that. that's why you picked me. >> coming up -- >> this is the world's longest basketball shot. >> the shot seen around the world.

warning, do not play horse against these guys. you will lose. >> welcome to aggie land. this is the world's longest basketball shot. big time! oh! >> here's these ratty looking guys, running around doing the most impossible looking

basketball shot. >> they take sick shots to a crazy extreme. >> you just can't believe those shots are possible. >> did that ball really go in? >> this is the laser shot. >> it would be very easy to think that someone could fake this. the ball goes out of the screen, and therefore it must be edited. >> there it is. >> it just begs to be taken as a visual effect. it's in the hole. >> so are these great hoopsters or great video editers? >> our videos are 100% real, i promise. i would even bet my grandma's strawberry short cake and biscuits and gravy. >> okay, nobody messes with grandma's home cooking these guys must be on the level. >> this is the airplane shop. >> the ballers behind the video are five buddies hailing from texas.

in april 2009, the guys discover their unique talent while roommates at texas a&m university. >> we were in the backyard messing around. ty likes to do one-sided bets where he'll bet if he makes something and if he misses it's nothing. and i bet garret that if i made a shot from across the backyard he had to pay more my sandwich. >> of course, college guys. got to make a free lunch any way we can. >> i took the bet for some reason. i threw up a shot from behind the back and drained it. >> he made it. swished the shot his very first try.

>> they can't believe their eyes. >> so we go grab the little picture camera. >> we'll see if we can get it on film. as soon as we saw it on the camera, that was the game changer. >> we all wanted to top each other. >> crazy shots behind the tree. >> standing up on the roof. it's in the hole! >> we started filming everything. bigger and bigger and bigger. >> the gees edit if footage together. but before they decide the posse needs a name. >> the name came about on accident. we were sitting in the backyard and we decided to put the camera up on the rail. he looked through the camera and saw it was perfectly in frame. and said -- >> dude, perfect. >> it's something guys say a lot. dude, perfect. nice shot. >> so let's start off.

>> with a name in place and modest expectations, the guys launched the video on youtube. >> we figured we would share with our friends and hopefully get a laugh out of it. >> hut. >> but friends share it with other friends, setting off a chain reaction. within a couple of days the video scores more than 100,000 views. >> i literally remember watching someone a couple of rows in front of me watching our video in class. it was the greatest feeling ever. >> the dudes want to up the ante. they create even more extreme trick shot videos. and in many cases, the harder the shot, the higher the head

count. while driving by texas a&m's football stadium, tyler and coby get an idea for their biggest shot yet. >> i looked over and saw how big it was. he said, i really think i can make a shot from up there. and i'm like, bro, there is no way. >> and i told him if he got me in there i would make a shot. >> a few e-mails later, dude perfect gets full access to the stadium. >> we had no idea if it was possible to make a shot from that high or that far. >> but after half an hour of attempts. >> welcome to aggie land. this is the world's longest basketball shot. >> yes! what! >> we just erupt in excitement. >> took my breath away. >> we were really freaking out. >> nobody had ever made a basketball shot from that far before. >> it was the first trick shot

taken to absolutely perfection. >> in december of 2009 the dudes launch the clip under the title words longest basketball shot. >> i made it. >> it spreads like wildfire racking up more than 2 million hits in just two hours and becomes one of the most viewed videos of the year. >> it's one of the repeatable clips. it's got a lot of suspense. >> this is a nice, simple, visual representation of achieving something nearly impossible. >> but many viewers believe the shot is impossible. online skeptics rigorously debate the video's authenticity. >> crazy ideas about how we strung a string up from the basketball down to the stadium. >> another guy thought we used some kind of device on the basketball. >> magnetism. magnet in the goal and magnet in the ball. >> we don't mind that people accuse it of being fake because it's just a statement about how

unbelievable our videos really are. after the world's longest basketball shot, dude perfect becomes a you tube juggernaut. the guys launch dozens of videos and get tens of millions of hits. >> boom! yes! >> soon, advertisers come calling. >> yeah! >> you can't dispute millions and millions of people seeing your brand. >> dude perfect. >> corporations like southwest airlines and gmc hire the ballers to star in commercials. >> we started to pitch dude perfect as a grand to viral companies. >> this is the airplane shot. >> now, now, now. >> little known fact, tyler made that on his second try. >> happy to share their secrets to success, dude perfect's cory

cotton writes a self help big called "go big." >> it's about our super fun story to tie in simple steps to take what you love and actually be able to do it. >> the crew also puts out their very own smart phone game called, what else, dude perfect. >> it's basically angry birds with a basketball. >> i had my hand in the design process. i'm definitely the best looking avatar in the game. >> there it is! >> so with all of their accomplishments, what's next for the kings of trick shooting? >> if i was able to create my own dream shot, i would get shot out of a cannon while i'm on fire over a large body of water, over some helicopters, and slam just the world's largest dunk of all time. and then i would get some of my grandma's strawberry shortcake after. yes! >> coming up -- a man risks his

life for a close shave. >> oh my god. something terrible is going to happen. >> the truth is, sometimes we like to see bad things happen on the internet. >> any last words, kenny? >> but is the video real? the hair raising truth when "caught on camera: viral videos bogus or bona fide" continues so we use tide free. no perfumes or dyes for her delicate skin. brad. not it. not it. just kidding. that's our tide. what's yours? time for citi price rewind. because your daughter really wants that pink castle thing. and you really don't want to pay more than you have to. only citi price rewind automatically searches for the lowest price. and if it finds one, you get refunded the difference. just use your citi card and register your purchase online. have a super sparkly day! ok.

. in february 2011, a video featuring a sharp new product hits the web. >> all right, so this is a shaving helmet. >> it's a helmet you put on and it shaves your head for you. >> i'll give you a demo. >> my first impression is oh my god. something terrible is going to happen. >> he's agreed to be our test subject today. >> you do not want to be the first person to test the moving razor blade helmet. >> any last words kenny? >> pray for me. >> you watch it like this. >> this is going to be a horror movie. >> blood is going to come pourg from the helmet. >> his head is going to fall off. >> it's going to be a disgusting mess. >> can you hear that?

that's the screams of a man who has been shaved by this device. >> any nicks? >> amazingly, the test subject's head is in one piece. >> nice. it looks smooth. >> leaving many to wonder, is the shaving helmet cutting edge technology or a razor sharp ruse. >> there you have it, shaving helmet. >> the master minds behind the shave helmet, michael and james, reveal the truth. >> this is a hoax. and it would probably hurt you really, really bad if you tried to put it on. >> my my most drunken stupor i would never wear this. >> james and michael head up think modo, a viral marketing firm. >> we create videos that ask the question, is this real or not? >> the process of trying to figure out how the trick was done is what engages people. the shave helmet video is a viral ad for a real invention called head blade. >> head blade is a shaving

product for guys who shave their heads. >> head blade is a small company that wants a boost in sales. >> this type of vie marketing is a dream. millions of people go out of their way and actually outright tell people to watch this and watch it for fun. >> james and michael need an outside the box idea to attract the attention of the folicly impaired. >> as someone who shaves my head, i always try to figure out a way how to eliminate the time i spend every morning. what if there was a device like a helmet where you press a button and 20 seconds later you're done? >> where the idea in place, they hire designer christo holloway to make the design a reality, or something that looks like reality. >> believability has to be an element. >> the helmet is an existing motorcycle helmet. this control panel has been

painted. the shaving cream was out of aluminum with a brass finish that looks slik. and then supposedly the shaving cream goes through this tube into the blades. on the inside we have the aluminum bar with four razors attached to it. it moves back and forth. >> so if the helmet doesn't actually shave your head -- >> how does it feel? >> what really happens in the video? >> a little strange. >> let's ask the expert. >> so at this point right here is where i thought they interrupted the take, had a chance to shave the guy's head and put the helmet back on and combine the different take in this camera move, sort of a fancy digital transition. >> nope. more low tech. in a world of digital tricks. this one outstarts the expert. >> we pull the switcheroo. we look exactly alike. >> james and michael cast up and coming twin comedians to star in

the video. >> in the ad they actually mention something about being comfortable having your head shaved. i didn't think much of it. >> it said that we would be getting paid, so we're like, sure, whatever, we really need the money. >> with the cast in place, michael and james planned the shoot. >> we had two identical helmets and two identical twins. one did not shave his head. the other was preshaven. >> we're going to switch them out with a part where the camera is offscreen. >> and created the illusion that he had been shaved. >> but it's easier said than done. >> this entire thing was shot in a restroom. so the space is super tight. >> the twins would bump into each other while we had to switch them. >> you don't want to run into someone with a helmet on. >> not a helmet with razors. >> finally after more than a dozen takes they get it right. >> which is what the helmet is

doing now. >> just two days later james and michael upload the helmet video to this the masses. soon the video has more than a million views. one of the reasons this went viral is the fear factor. >> any last words, kenny? >> i know. pray for me. >> the truth is, sometimes we like to see bad things happen on the internet. it's the truth. sometimes we enjoy seeing other people have things go wrong. coming up -- one of the hottest videos online. >> honestly, i thought we were going to get some severed fingers. that's 7,000 degrees. lava is 2,000 degrees. >> and if that's not impressive enough -- >> no. >> i can't believe i'm catching this on ka ra. >> we can't either. >> the truth revealed when "caught on camera: viral videos bogus or bona fide" continues.

i'm milissa rehberger,

here's what's happening. the national retail federation is releasing strong numbers on holiday shopping. 247 million shoppers spent more than $59 billion over the weekend. favorable weather and few airport delays are greeting the millions heading home on what is traditionally the busiest travel day of the year, and the twilight saga took in $64 million followed by sky fall and lincoln, all part of an all time box office high of $290 million for thanksgiving weekend. back to "caught on camera." what do you get when you combine green slime, a 7,000-degree flame, and a scientist willing to try anything? pure internet gold. >> so this guy introduces this fire retardant foam and actually spreads some on his head. >> you can see him putting the flame right to his hand.

>> it's like a really extreme sport version of bill nye the science guy. >> i was tensely waiting for something horrible to happen. >> he's actually withstanding it and not scheming in pain. >> i would say that's a good enough test for anybody. >> and as if that's not enough, what comes next will blow your mind, and potentially turn your stomach. >> give me a spoon. >> no, no. this is biodegradable nontoxic edible product, there it is. >> he took a spoon and ate it like it's ice cream. pretty sure it doesn't taste like ice cream. >> i got to hand it to that guy, he really believes in his product. >> he may believe in it. but many online viewers think it's science fiction not

nonfiction. >> my first inclination is to think that this were not possible. >> but is it possible? for the answer let's ask the torch man himself. >> this is not fake. this is the real thing. >> tom is a scientist and inventor at the helm of his own research company. >> we're in the business of trying to create new products for the use of the public. every substance i make we made for the purpose of maintaining the environment and just keeping people safe. >> some of those inventions include a pepper spray neutralizer, a microwave blow tovrj, and even his own line of energy bars. >> it's enjoyable to eat. it will give you energy. it will boost the immune system. >> tom's innovations catch the eye of host of the web series

"survive and thrive" tv. >> it's an interview series where i go out and film different people trying to survive and thrive in the new economy. >> the two meet and immediately click. >> tom just threw a bunch of different products at me and, i was like, you know, we should shoot some of this stuff because i've never seen them before. >> that includes a flame retardant foam that tom is developing. >> it was designed to put out a fire in intense heat. but it has to still be biosafe. so it doesn't damage you. >> tom figures the best way to prove his product works is -- well, trial by fire. and he's the begin knee pig. >> the torch could burn two to three inches of steel very easily. it melts like ice. >> that's 7,000 degrees. lava is 2,000 degrees. >> if i put the torch to my hand, it would turn to carbon with a few milliseconds. >> we're proving this product that we have as foam works in

the most extreme and dangerous situation. >> even after making sure the foam works off camera, tom and george are nervous when we start the shoot. >> honestly, i thought we were going to get some severed fingers or something. >> i was scared to death. >> but tom brought that torch down to his hand and he was touching the foam. it's just like, i can't believe i'm catching this on camera. >> it would seem that potentially setting yourself on fire would be enough. so why on earth does tom eat the foam? >> if you're going to make a really nontoxic material, you should sit there and you should eat your own material to prove the material is safe. >> i have eaten the product. it's not like candy or anything like that. but it's bearable. i wouldn't say it's something you put in a bowl and eat for breakfa breakfast. >> i've been eating this stuff, you know, off and on for five years. i'm perfectly healthy. i'm a healthy man.

>> in february of 2012 george launches the video on the survive and thrive site. it catches fire, recording more than 700,000 hits. >> it had all the elements to go viral. there was suspense. there was new information. there was danger. i think half the people that watch this video expect a horrible accident to happen. but the fact that it demonstrates something amazing is what compels people to pass it on. >> he's the typical crazy inventor in his garage creating something world changing and he's just crazy enough you might actually believe him. >> but here at "caught on camera" we still have our doubts. seeing is believing. and after we get the go ahead from our lawyers, tom agrees to recreate the hot action for our camera.

>> and there you go. snow. i get to eat this lovely material. so, where is our spoon. all right. this is going to be so delicious. this is good. mmm. >> now for the answer to the question we've all been waiting to ask. >> how does it taste? >> like soap. >> coming up, a warning to parking enforcement officer ls all over the world. >> that guy is sawing off that meter. >> do not give this guy a ticket. >> i'm the crazy guy who cuts off parking meters. >> and later, is this really happening? or are we all a little tipsy? >> i immediately got nervous because i'm like please don't waste any good liquor. >> when caught on camera continues. and we got onesies. sometimes miracles get messy.

it's an all too familiar situation. you park your car, feed the meter, and come back just a few minutes too late. in october 2011, a video spreads across the web chronicling this very scenario, but with a twist. >> you have, it looks like maybe a cell phone camera that somebody sitting in the back of a cab has in new york. >> it looks like an expired meter. they didn't come back in time. >> we see this altercation between a parking attendant. >> then the sparks fly. literall literally. >> some guy shows up and cuts off the parking meter. >> there's no way you can get a

ticket if there's no meter, right? >> it's a shocking moment that doesn't seem totally out of the realm of believability. >> the look of this video is authentic. it looks real. >> it seems like you're really catching a moment in time. it already started before you got there. >> others feel the video is fake. >> the mistake they made is overnarrating the video. >> that guy is sawing off that meter. >> it starts reeking of a viral setup. >> captain disillusion is right. the clip is bogus. it's another master hoax by michael and james of think moto. they create the piece to promote the sci-fi film in time starring jus tin timberlake. >> the general concept is that money is replaced by time as a currency. once your time expires you die. >> and we came up with an analogy to the movie by somebody

who rebelled against a parking meter that was controlling his time. >> the guys need the altercation to seem as real as possible. that starts with the cast. >> it's key to use people who are realistic. >> we use real people. we don't use actors. >> with that in mind, james and michael are ecstatic when she tries. >> i was a parole officer and a detective with the district attorney's office and never served as a traffic enforcement agent, but i've had numerous experience with people that have been noncompliant and difficult. >> and in the role of the saw wielding carpenter, they hire an actual carpenter, eric weis. >> eric was a carpenter o who put an addition onto my own home. >> basically he asked me if i would be interested in doing this viral video to promote a movie. i said yeah, sure, what the heck? >> on the day of the shoot, they

pain stakingly recreate a busy new york street scene in a not so busy part of the city. the cast and crew gather first thing in the morning to stay under the radar. >> not one person can see us do this. once the photo leaks it would be all blown. they would see it was a hoax. in another effort to make it look real michael shoots the scene using his iphone from the backseat of a cab. but it isn't easy. >> timing was a a critical issue. we had to rehearse it many times. on the first take they encounter a serious setback. >> it took too long to cut through the post. but i cut through the post most of the way so when we did the cut it just takes a few seconds. >> now it takes half the time. the cast and crew nail the shot. that's a wrap, everybody. >> soon after the shoot they

release the shoot with the title crazy guy cuts off meter with saw. it gains around a million hits in a few days. >> every now and then it would be nice to go crazy. a lot of people were there with that guy wielding an emotional chain saw. >> people want to know the truth, but those involved stay mum on the the answer. >> all the people have to sign nondisclosure agreements not to reveal what they did. >> i had a couple of people call me, customers in mind that were concerned about my well being. i'm sure they didn't want me around their house thinks this is the crazy guy. >> even eric's mother is fooled by the video. she said, it was great, but i raised you better than that. with the help of the crazy saw

guy, in time goes onto gross more than $172 million worldwide. with all the publicity, will we see them in another video? >> justin, if there's a movie coming out, and you need an actress, call me. you yoe me. >> the only way i would consider acting for a living is if my back goes out and i can't do the craft that i enjoy doing. after that last video, i bet we could all use a drink. in january of 2012 a tricky video hitted the web leaving us scratching our heads and thirs fi for the truth. >> we see a card. he sets it down. >> i could demonstrate this for you. i'm going to need a deck of those naked lady cards. >> he sets up two glasses.

one of when i kiskey, one of wa >> when i first saw this, i immediately got nerve auz because i'm like, please don't waste any good liquor. >> in tiny opening, the whiskey exchanges places. >> when the video launches it becomes a viral hit gaining hundreds of thousands of views. there are no spoken words in the video and you're watching something unfold. sometimes it surprises you at the end. people love a surprise in a viral video. curious viewers debate if the trick is real or a drunk hallucination. >> i still don't get it. >> the cameras are all close. you can't tell who is doing what. then i'm going to go try it and get whiskey all over the house.

>> if you have whiskey around the house, the trick is completely bona fide. >> i think anyone who thinks this video is fake would benefit from basic high school educations. >> that's right. it's no trick at all. but honest to goodness science. >> alcohol or ethanol is just less dense than water. so a certain amount of whiskey with really high content going to weigh the same. >> if you slowly pull out a playing card, the whiskey will rise up and water will sink down with minimal loss of liquor, which is the important thing. >> so there you have it. >> i will definitely try this trick now. because it's the human nature to enjoy watching someone to to figure something out that you already know. it's some sort of sick and

twisted rush that you people have. >> i have a feeling that it's going to be messy when you try it. you probably aren't going to try it until you're drunk, and then it's really going to be a mess. >> coming up -- what has two wheels and no fear? this guy. >> this is exactly the kind of place that your mother told you not to ride your bike. i wouldn't think that anyone would try something this crazy. >> or would they? when "caught on camera: viral videos: bogus or bone fit continues" ♪ [ male announcer ] the mercedes-benz winter event is back, with the perfect vehicle that's just right for you, no matter which list you're on.

it's so unbelievable. >> you might think it was fake because you wouldn't think that anyone would try something this crazy. >> so, is he crazy or not crazy? hard to say, but this video is definitely bona fide. >> there's not much that you could really fake about something like this. this biking video gets captain disillusion's seal of approval. it's totally real and it's very impressive. >> the daring biker is danny mccaskill, a master of the sport called trials riding. >> trials in the basic form is trying to get your bike over obstacles without putting your feet down. >> it's extremely dangerous and danny takes serious safety precautions. >> it's really important to wear a helmet. i've smashed about 14 or 15 helmets over my life. every one of those could have been a fractured skull or worse.

>> danny teams up with film maker stew thompson to shoot a segment of a documentary focusing on urban sports called concrete circus. we tried to come up with a film that showed him in the best light really. >> if first challenge is to find a location. >> i was looking for old buildings, concrete. nice backdrops. >> they find that and more when they come across an abandoned iron works factory and train yard in a scottish country side. >> the locations are stunning. it's beautiful. >> over the course of a gruelling week, danny and stew meticulously plan out and shoot various stunts. >> last time i was too scared to jump this. and i kind of still am. it's horrible.

>> he likes to push himself really hard, so there's a big element of danger involved in what he's doing. >> i had a lot of crashes. you know, nothing ever happens first time, that's for sure. >> but when danny nails a stunt, it seems the to defy if laws of physic. >> i would say the favorite clip is riding along the top. it made me feel like a kid when i was filming it. # the big draw for a lot of people is the cable. that was just stepping up from what he's done in the past and what he's capable of. >> you're sort of holding your breath in case he falls. generally speaking, people who

balance on a bar usually take it between the legs. let's be honest. >> it was more a case of just trying to get on it and try to focus on getting to the end. i would make it two of thirds of the way down, maybe 60, 70 times. >> danny attempts the most difficult and dangerous trick the last day of shooting. >> danny's been off a little bit of metal, six feet off the ground. >> by that time i was very physically tired and mentally tired. i had to stay focussed to made sure i had the shot. he just kept doing it over and over again. >> you have to be 100% committed. >> attempt after brutal attempt, and then finally danny pulls off the incredible back flip.

>> it worked out, which was great, but even when you land it clean, you've got stinging wrists and ankles. >> for danny all the pain and hard work is worth it. when industrial revolutions goes viral it brings worldwide attention to trials bike riding and awes millions. >> we're jealous of people who get to go do these things and we want to live vicariously through their experiences. >> it's aspirational. it's the reason why we deem, so that we can be like one of these guys. >> i feel very lucky to be in the position i am. i get to ride my bike. i love it. i hope to be able to do it for a number of years, yeah.

xx . now on maximum drama. our sunday feature. >> i don't think anybody doubts that i've done some bad things. the question is what, of course, and how, and most importantly, why. people constantly will ask me why. >> he was born theodore robert cowell. for years cowell, otherwise known as ted bundy, confounded authorities with his killing spree. while on death row, bundy agrees to a series of interviews. >> basically when i reached the car, what happened was i
