(00:22):
He was an intelligent, eloquent andhandsome young candidate, indisputable to success.
It was a kind of big youthfulcari, and yet, in a blood
orgy that lasted for five years,it came to brutally murder and in addition
to thirty- five women for trial, the best way to enjoy sex was

(00:42):
to handcuff an attractive woman, terrorizeher and convince her that she was going
to die. Ted Bandhy at seveno' clock in the morning of January

(01:19):
of one thousand nine hundred and eighty- nine, in Florida prison, was
scheduled for an execution that many doubtedwould take place. It was the execution
of Ted Bundy, the most famousserial killer in the United States. After
a ten- year delay, Bandywas sentenced to death for murder in a

(01:41):
thousand nine hundred and seventy- eighttwelve- year- old Kimblech. However,
he acknowledged that he was responsible forthirty more deaths in Washington, Oregon,
Utah, Idaho, and Colorado.Since he went to the dam to
give for the first time in athousand nine hundred and seventy- six,

(02:02):
Bandis would become a whole media phenomenonor the United States was fascinated by the
figure of former bandy boy scout,a law student, a militant of the
Republican youth and a promising future politicianat the local level of the State of
Washington. We met him before hewas charged and arrested, and he was

(02:23):
a very nice person. He wasa friend of ours. We never knew
anything unusual or abnormal about him.Once imprisoned, he soon scoffed at justice,
fleeing from two different prisons in theState of Colorado. After being arrested

(02:45):
in Florida, he exercised his ownlegal defense against the ecstatic gaze of a
legion of admirers who followed all hissteps. If I looked at them,
they smiled and gave each other hearts. She thought that if she were free
and stumbled upon them one night,they would automatically become her victims. But

(03:07):
the usual arrogance of bandy abandoned himas he approached the execution room, escorted
by two officials, seemed to beresigned to his fate. He stared at
the electric chair and wichi on theoutside. Some five hundred people who waited

(03:27):
impatiently for the news of his deathchanted phrases such as teban chichara de reais
at seven and sixteen, the executionerpressed the button two thousand volts toured Bandy

(03:49):
' s body. Sixty seconds later, one of the world' s worst
serial killers was officially declared dead.At the end of the execution, there
was a festive atmosphere among the peoplewho were waiting for victory. Claxson is

(04:10):
a real verbena. His death wasfaster than any of his victims. It
is estimated that he murdered thirty-five women, but the secrets of those
deaths were taken to the grave.The police suspected that the blood orgy began
in a thousand nine hundred and seventy- four, when Bandy was twenty-

(04:33):
eight years old and was studying lawat the time living in Siatel next to
the University of Washington gave a pleasantimpression. It was expressed with correctness,
eloquence and intelligence. If I hadto find out, I' d say
it' s kind of a big, young sherry craiat cari. No one

(04:54):
was able to imagine that that handsomeyoung man would star in a series of
rapes, tortures, mutilations and deathsthat would shock the entire past world.
Twelve o' clock on the nightof January 4, 1970, Ded bandy

(05:14):
approached the house where Johnny Lenz,an 18- year- old student of
Washington University, lived. He accessedthe interior of the house through a window
and once inside, he savagely struckhis victim with an iron bar when she
was asleep. The next morning,Johnny' s body was found in the

(05:34):
middle of a pool of blood witha piece of wood coming from the head
of his bed, pressed into thebandy vagina chose Johnny for a very specific
reason. He possessed certain physical characteristicscommon to all his victims. He wore

(05:55):
long hair with a stripe in themiddle. It would still take years for
the police to unravel the motive forVante' s crimes. Linda Angele was
in the last year of her psychologystudies, on the thirty- first January
of a thousand nine hundred and seventy- four, when Linda was sleeping Bandy

(06:15):
broke into her room. After leavingher unconscious, she wrapped her with Sheets
and took her out of the building. It was a year before his head
was found, as well as otherparts of his body, both for bandy
persecutors and for those who would latertry to understand the motives for his crimes.

(06:39):
The riddle was still standing. Whatcould induce a charming and intelligent young
man like him to commit such atrocitiesagainst people he did not even know.
But Thern regarded his victims as things, not people. I never heard him
refer to them as women. Forhim they were more than just fas objects.

(07:02):
The lives of his victims had novalue to him, because he did
not think they were flesh and blood. The idea of shocking law enforcement and
causing suffering to parents was exciting.Because that' s how he materialized his
revenge. However, they go day, like other serial killers, he was

(07:23):
able to perfectly hide the killer impulsethat dominated him. His friends, his
family, and his companions considered hima perfectly sane person. He seemed like
a good boy, it was apleasure to chat with him. We knew
something about his professional activity and thoughthe had a promising future. He was

(07:45):
a triumphant and adamant. One ofthe most important features of his personality was
that he seemed very sincere. Itwas as if emanating, sincerity for all
his choirs, but appearances deceive.He was a master of deception. In
those moments I did not realize thatI wore a mask carefully designed to relate

(08:09):
to others and, at the mostremote I warned the monster that was lurking
under the disguise but since a thousandnine hundred and seventy- four that monster
had been hidden behind the mask formany years. Maybe since childhood. I
' ve always raised the suspicion thatunder that look of a good child,

(08:35):
an intense hosterity was surely wafting towardshis own mother. The police version is
that in a thousand nine hundred andseventy- four, in the city of
Seattle, dead band and started awave of creepy, crimes that lasted for

(08:56):
more than five years across Oregon andIdaho, Colorado and Florida. His Sarism
killed at least thirty- five girlsby being arrested in a thousand nine hundred
and seventy- six. One ofhis most tenacious defenders turned out to be
his mother, Luis bandy remained withhis son until he was finally executed in

(09:20):
nineteen hundred and eighty- nine.My Cristina Premingtons, Might Ken th Liventer
Enifer Hn Brown, State Fresn.Luis Luis is a loving woman. Night

(09:41):
didn' t want to accept thosemade in line until the night of the
execution in Kettel told him everything.There are experts who believe that the origin
of bandy' s madness was inhis childhood. He was baptized thedo Robert
Cowell on the 24th of November ina thousand nine hundred and two forty-
six in Burlington, Bermont State.Her mother, Ellenor Luis Powell, was

(10:07):
single and worked as a dependent ina department store in Philadelphia, until she
decided to move to Vermont to givebirth to her son, a child thus
born out of wedlock. Arbuset wasa natural son. He was born in
a hostel for single mothers. Hismother must have had it then. About
twenty- three years or so afterTed' s birth, Ellenor returned with

(10:30):
him to Philadelphia, where a patheticfarce began. Ted would grow up convinced
that his grandparents were his parents andEllenor his older sister. But from a
very young age Ted suspected that wasa lie and that was not the only
problem. Ellenor' s mother hada long history of nervous depressions, suffered

(10:54):
panic attacks and had to be treatedby electroshock. The father of the one,
Samuel Cowell, was, on theother hand, an extremely aggressive and
violent man. Eamhu Sankwell was addictedto pornography and had homicidal impulses. If
her daughters didn' t wake upin time in the morning, she'
d throw them down the stairs.As a teenager, Ted was troubled by

(11:18):
the equivocal family bond with his mother. In fact, from the age of
three he showed signs of maladaptation tothe Shinja environment. You had a very
young aunt who one day woke upfrom the nap surrounded by knives pointing at
her. You had taken them fromthe kitchen drawer, placed them all with

(11:39):
the tip towards her. His mother, concerned about the behavior of the child
and fed up with the tyranny ofher own father, left with Ted to
live in Tacoma, in the stateof Washington, very close to his uncle
Jack Cowell. Years later, Tedwould claim to abandon Sam, the man
his father believes left him desolate ina Hellenor coma, Louis stopped using his

(12:05):
compound name and called himself simply.Luis served as secretary at the Ecclesial Council.
One afternoon he met John calpeper bandy, a hospital cook. A year
later they married and their son wasfinally given the surname he would bear for
the rest of his life. Vandy. However, Ted would never accept John

(12:26):
edwarth Hample. The relationship with herstepfather was always conflicting. Father bikes th
despised him for being of low moifsocial expression. Despite his new surname,
Tet continued to consider himself a cowelland bonded with his great- uncle Jack.

(12:46):
Professor of music at the Bew JetSound University in Washington and man of
great scholarship, Ted wanted to belike him Evet Burneam. For Ted it
was very important to feel special togain recognition in one way or For the
next ten years, Luis and Llonincreased the family by four members, two

(13:07):
boys and two girls. To Tedthey were as foreign as their stepfather and
tree. I didn' t havea group of boy scouts, but Ted
never went camping with them. Itwas as if he wanted to get out
of any kind of relationship with hisstepfather and if he didn' t fit
into school in his own house,less even his elementary and high school classmates

(13:31):
branded him shy in extreme, stutteredand didn' t date girls. Their
only contact with girls was at thoseparties, where they took the initiative of
bringing out the male to dance Tedbandy' s secret personality was beginning to
emerge. It was considered above thelaw. At the age of fifteen,

(13:52):
he was a consummate thief and wasconsidered a suspect in two house assaults and
his tremendous narcissism. The ability todismiss the police and the tendency to mock
the United Nations Authority' s expertiseas a thief helped to reinforce its excessive

(14:13):
self- esteem and the belief thatit had the right to do whatever it
wanted. Their relationship with women alsochanged. He became a voyeur who at
night spied on the girls in theirrooms and, what' s more,
there are well- founded suspicions thatby the age of fifteen he was already

(14:37):
a murderer. You distributed newspapers inthe mornings. One day, making the
route, she met a girl namedAnne Maribo. Ann sea was eight years
old. Ted knew Maride when shewas going to give piano lessons with her
great- uncle Jack On August thirty- one, one thousand nine hundred and

(15:00):
sixty- one, and Mary disappearedfrom her home. It was the days
when cable television was installed on theroof of the houses and a semi-
open window had to be left forthe cable to pass. The front door
was also ajar. The girl disappearedthe search for Ann Mary gathered eight hundred

(15:22):
soldiers, along with police and volunteers. It was all in vain. No
one thought Ted might be involved inthe child' s death in hand.
I always thought that was his firstvictim and there would still be many more.

(15:45):
In the mid- sixties, Tedband was studying at the Wilson Botruc
High School in Tacoma, Washington State. Despite being awake, handsome and friendly,
his companions and especially the girls,considered him to be his pleasant.
The snp W in its way ofdealing with social relations was a fundamental flaw
that prevented him from establishing sincere ties. Hence their confusion. The school and

(16:11):
its classrooms were for him a fieldof experimentation in which he tested his verbal
ability and tried to manipulate the teacherin his favor. In one thousand nine
hundred and sixty- five he finishedhis pre- university studies with the qualification
of remarkable. The following year heenrolled at the University of Piu JiT Soun,
but on campus he felt anonymous anddisoriented. Sager Teddy noticed that not

(16:36):
married was his facade of distinction andsophistication. In nineteen hundred and sixty-
seven, continuing with his farce,Ted requested the transfer to the Asian Culture
Classroom at Washington University, where hestudied Chinese. He began to forge his

(16:57):
new personality. The tet of thepast had been shy and withdrawn. The
current one was to be witty,attractive and self- assured. The farce
turned out to be profitable. Incollege he met Stephany Brooks. He was
particularly impressed by his half- hairedhairline in the middle. He was from

(17:21):
a good family, sophisticated and affable. Just what Ted craved to be yes
gossip was said to be perfect prettyand rich. I think he loved her
pretty much within his means. Theystayed together for a year. It was

(17:41):
the first time Tez had an intimaterelationship with a woman. He had fallen
in love with her, but forEstefany they were just college boyfriends with no
future. As a couple, Ithought Ted was immature. Ted was obsessed
with her, but Stefan and toldher the romance was over. Shit hook.

(18:06):
She told him that nothing would come, that he lacked ambition, that
he could not cope, that helacked a project for the future. Ted
was devastated, abandoned his studies anddecided to leave for Philadelphia to see his
own. His visit was for apurpose. He needed the answer to the

(18:30):
question he was so concerned about whohe was. After examining the Philadelphia civil
registry, he moves to Balington inVermont. In the town hall confirmed his
old suspicions Hirshing discovered that his motherwas actually the woman who had been posing
as his older sister. It mustbe tremendous to discover that one’ s

(18:52):
true origins have nothing to do withwhat he had always believed. Not his
perception of the property must have staggeredWors must have been perplexed to discover that
he was an illegitimate son Jarve Screening. Smet felt vilely betrayed by a woman,

(19:14):
her mother mother and, at atime when she was still reeling because
of the rejection by her first girlfriendSRS. Many observers believe that it was
during that period that Ted Bandy decidedto take revenge on women by holding them

(19:37):
responsible for ruining their lives by showinga cold determination that he returned to the
University of Washington. He rented anearby room and enrolled in psychology. He
stood out in all subjects and feltrenewed with a new goal in life.
Something creepy was shaking inside, butTed was hiding it. Many people like

(20:00):
him have the ability to create watertightcompartments in the mind, the evil identity,
the demon, the degenerate monster livedin one of those compartments. It
all seemed to indicate that Ted's life was turning for the better.
In nineteen hundred and sixty- nineshe met the divorced young woman, Elisabeth

(20:22):
Kendall. First came friendship. Thenlove. She was a very shy young
woman, but she came from Utahin. They met path She loved him.
The relationship with Elisabeth seemed to serenadeTed, but within himself it burned in

(20:42):
a desire for revenge. If yourinnermost personality is negative and envy corrodes you,
you need to destroy the beauty yousee in others, and the first
on the list was this Fany Brooksstill seen in secret because Ted harbored the

(21:03):
hope of falling in love again andthen rejected and despised her, as she
did with him to create an imageof respectable man. He dedicated himself to
active politics, participating in the governor' s re- election campaign. I
thought he was smart, he wasgood at politics, and he was very

(21:25):
affable. In a thousand nine hundredand seventy- one, at the age
of twenty- five, bandy devotedher free time to dissuade suicides on the
phone from Siattle' s hope,next to her the future writer Ann Rol
worked, and Wesk was loving andwas happy to talk on the phone.

(21:47):
It' s paradoxical that we saveso many lives together. If at that
moment someone had told me what washiding behind such a gentle facade, I
would have replied that I was crazy. In addition, we worked alone in
a four- story Victorian landlord whoremembered the one in the movie Psychosis.
I would no longer perceive any interpandthreat In a thousand nine hundred and seventy

(22:12):
- two, Estefany, Ted's first girlfriend, remained the protagonist of
his longings. During a working tripto San Francisco, the new Ted bandy
took her breath away. He fellmadly in love with him and agreed to
marry him. As soon as shefelt he rejected her with contempt. Two

(22:37):
days later, on the fourth ofJanuary of a thousand nine hundred and seventy
- four, Ted bandy would starta long series of brutal murders that would
last for five years in the faceof the horror of the whole country.
Most of his victims shared a characteristic. Their favorite victims were medium- sized,
long- haired, striped- hairedwomen, physically enough agras, all

(23:00):
looked like Stephane and Brooks. OnJanuary 4, 1970, after the break
- up with Stephany Brooks, Deadbandy started his murder list. Over the

(23:22):
next six months, eight women disappearedfrom university campuses in Washington, Utah,
and Oregon. I' m surethey were twenty- four hours a day
looking for Scopenount victims, some ofthem being picked and stalked. Others were

(23:45):
just wearing it. His first twovictims were students from Washington Hoople White University.
People preferred to believe he was someoneoutside the community, a degenerate outsider
visiting campus. We couldn' timagine it was someone who was so close
to us. Even Ted Elisabeth Kendall' s girlfriend didn' t know him

(24:10):
well. Between February and June,Carol Valenzuela, Nancy Wilcocks, Donna Manson,
Susan Rancourt, Brenda Ball and RobertaParks disappeared. No one related any
of the cases to the fact thatthey occurred in different States and therefore in

(24:34):
different police jurisdictions. It was areal mystery. How all those girls could
disappear. One girl ran 50 metersto go from one school to another and
suddenly paws or traces of her.How those things could happen. His name
was Georgina Hawkins years later bandy wouldreveal the perverse method he used to attract

(24:57):
his victims. He used their goodfeelings, pretending to be injured. The
girls I chose used to do socialwork. He appeared with crutches like he
was lame. She dropped the booksand asked a young woman to help her

(25:17):
pick up the mccart that was thetrick she used with Georgina Hawkins when she
bowed down to put the books inBandy' s car He hit her with
a metal tool that she had hidden, hit her on the head and put
her in The author always handcuffed themeither with strips of cloth or leather,

(25:41):
or handcuffed them. He had takenthe back seat out of the car,
so he could take the lying downswithout anyone suspecting anything Bandy would take his
victims to the Siattle woods if theyhad survived the first attack sexually abused them.
In her opinion, she defends thebest way to enjoy sex I was

(26:06):
to marry an attractive woman, terrorizeher and convince her that she was going
to die while waiting for her ownexecution. He was asked what it felt
like to kill a person and repliedthat they murdered. It has nothing to
do with lust or violence, butwith juician possession when you feel that the

(26:29):
victim exhales her last breath, youlook her in the eye at that moment,
you are God. When he wasfinished, he would dispose of the
bodies in the woods to return later. He went back and forth to the
crime scene, not just to eliminateevidence and stuff, but to get involved

(26:52):
with the corpses. We suspect thaton one occasion a body was taken home
because the victim in question was madeup in a totally monthly manner. In
Banti he machined the dead girl tomake her more attractive, although in reality
she didn' t care, becauseshe also sexually desecrated decaying corpses. The

(27:18):
psychiatrists who studied bandy considered him aunique case, combining two types of aberration.
At the same time and it isvoice was sadistic and at the same
time necrophile. Among the characteristics commonto both perversions stands out the lack of
feeling of guilt and the express willto harm others to obtain sexual pleasure.

(27:41):
There' s not much more toadd. Bandy had become a consummate killer
with eight victims to his credit.In July of a thousand nine hundred and
seventy- four, his addiction ledhim to kill two women. The same
day was Sunday afternoon. It wasvery hot, over 30 degrees and that

(28:03):
' s not normal in Seattle.People gathered in Samamich Lake State Park.
There Janis Sot was sunbathing. WhenTed boarded her, he wore an arm
in a sling and asked Janis forhelp in securing his boat. To the
car, she got up and shookher hand to greet him. They both

(28:27):
showed up normally. Jani walked awayfrom Ted and never saw her again alive.
An hour later, Ted returned toUs Park and tried it with four
or five women, more between atleast one in the afternoon and about four
and a half, but those womennoticed in Ted albu that drove them away

(28:52):
from Nis Nasland. He wasn't so lucky. At about five o
' clock in the afternoon he headedfor the urinals of the park. Denis
was with her boyfriend and another couplewent to the service with their dog.
The animal returned she did not,but there were witnesses of the disappearance of

(29:14):
Janishi and Nís, people who hadrepaired in the mysterious Ted and thanks to
their descriptions, a robot portrait ofthe alleged murderer could be put into circulation.
The police received 3, 500 callsand a list of suspects was drawn
up, all by name. TedBanthy was on the list. The name

(29:36):
came out, but I didn't even think about it. That was
the work of a monster. Betweenone thousand nine hundred and seventy- three
and one thousand nine hundred and seventy- four, the monster had been an
official of the King County Justice Administration, for whom he wrote a report on
the crime of rape and its victims. This gave Brin the opportunity to know

(30:00):
first- hand what measures the policewere planning to take to apprehend him.
In October of a thousand nine hundredand seventy- four, five more corpses
were found, but most had advancedsigns of decay and in some cases were
nothing more than a pile of bones. Bandy had disappeared without leaving any leads

(30:21):
that could compromise him. Two monthsearlier, he had enrolled in Utah University
Law School, but that failed totemper his thirst for blood. When I
met Ted Bandy, he wasn't a killer, but he might have
started killing an hour later. That' s the most terrible thing. Although
his disguise continued to convey charm andsincerity, his true personality was about to

(30:47):
come to light. One of hisvictims managed to escape and later identified him.
At the beginning of the month ofNovember of the year nineteen hundred and
seventy- four, Bandy had alreadymurdered at least eleven women in Oregon and

(31:07):
two more in Utah, where henow resided. At the same time,
he studied law at the University ofUtah if it wasn' t for the
obsession of killing. I' msure he' d become a brilliant lawyer,
and serial killers kill for addiction andalways become addicted. In the same

(31:29):
way you try the drug out ofcuriosity and if you end up not being
able to pass without it, inthis case your drug was to kill.
But Bandy was going to make thefirst mistake. On November 8, he
tried to kidnap nineteen- year-old Carol d' Runch as a police
officer in a mall. He toldher they tried to steal her car and

(31:53):
he offered her help. Once insidethe vehicle he tried to handcuff her,
but it was repelled the attack managedto get out of the car and fled.
Finally, we had a survivor whoclearly described the kidnapper and who provided

(32:14):
evidence first, because she was handcuffed, but the police still ignored the identity
of the aggressor and Bandy mastered theart of disguise constantly changed appearance, sometimes
wore beard, sometimes mane, madeit others in but shaved. I think

(32:37):
he changed his appearance with a victimface. At the beginning of a thousand
nine hundred and seventy- five,Bandy extended his range of action to Utah,
Idaho and Colorado killed eight women betweenJanuary and August, but there was
no apparent connection between the crimes.Since July of one thousand nine hundred and

(33:00):
seventy- four, the police listhad been reduced to two hundred individuals named
Ted Bandy, but no one openlysuspected the law student. A common denominator
in all disappearances is beginning to bereversed. The murders have the same pattern.

(33:21):
Luck was about to leave Ted Bundyin Utah on August 15, a
traffic cop orders him to stop forreckless driving and proceeds to search the vehicle.
People then find a bag containing aniron bar, handcuffs and a balaclava.

(33:47):
He was carrying the Museum of Horrors. Go to bed Bandy is immediately
arrested on suspicion of assault. Latershe would be intervened maps and gas station
ticket that related her to the scenesof the crimes of colorado as a colophon,
Carol d' Runch identifies her asher aggressor. We' re stuck

(34:13):
on stone. We couldn' tbelieve it, we took his side and
even decided to raise money for hisdefense. We couldn' t believe it.
It couldn' t have been him. On February 23rd of a thousand
nine hundred and seventy- six,Bandy is prosecuted for his murders. During
the trial he is convinced that hewill be declared innocent, but on the

(34:37):
stand, Carol D Runch recounted theterrible moments he had spent with Bandy and
identified him as his aggressor. Hewas convicted and sentenced to 15 years'
imprisonment. During his detention, investigationscontinued and he was associated with the murder
of Karing Campell in Colorado. ButBandy remained unperceived, despite being turned into

(35:00):
a media event. No, no, and he was so sure of himself

(35:22):
that he was bordering on arrogance andthat he was accused of murder. Frol
Folt, in April of nineteen hundredand seventy- seven, was transferred to
Colorado pending trial Bandy dismissed his lawyersand obtained permission to defend himself in court.

(35:45):
He trusted his intelligence and his abilityto manipulate and defeat the judicial system,
even if that meant avoiding sight.Two months later he jumped out the
window of the court library, locatedon a second floor and ran away.

(36:07):
He was arrested six days later,but would not remain in prison for long.
It share Here mild Ground he inAnthin be the Never nothing further from

(36:30):
reality. On the old night ofnineteen hundred and seventy- seven, Ted
Bandy slid through the vent at ColoradoPrison and ran away for the second time
and passed well over his own cell. He overstepped the surveillance room and found
himself in the middle of the blizzard. Ted Bandy was free to keep killing

(36:58):
bandy had gone a spectacular escape thatwould lead him to this Florida. He
was for his own boasting one ofthe most wanted feb criminals and I'
m sure he loved that, althoughhe always said that the infamy was incarnated
in the end, changed his name, left Barba and settled in Tala Hase,

(37:21):
taking a walk on the campus ofFlorida State University. I think he
arrived in the city around the 8thof January and decided, as he later
confessed, to swim not a falsestep. But its resolution would stagger just
after midnight on the 15th of Januaryof a thousand nine hundred and seventy-

(37:44):
eight, just two weeks after thebandy escaped, it sneaked into the headquarters
of the Quai Omega University Brotherhood.He went through room after room, without
waking up its occupants. He beatup, raped and murdered Lisa Levi and
Garet Bowman. He attacked nearly killinghis roommates, Karent Chandler and Cathy Kleiner.

(38:07):
I think he went in there forthe purpose of killing all the women
he saw, but his messes didn' t end there and broke into Sherily
Thomas' s apartment, less thana half mile away and he got mad
at her. But against all odds, Sherrill survived. He was the fifth
victim of bandy that night not thathe was unable to feel guilty for what

(38:30):
he had done is that he believedhe had the right to do so,
since the women had treated him badlywhy not pay them with the same coins
would kill him again Three weeks later. His victim on this occasion was Kinberley
Leach, twelve years old, muchloved by his classmates. Kimberly was brutally
abducted, assaulted and killed. However, Bandy' s reign of terror was

(38:52):
nearing its end. On January 15, nineteen hundred and seventy- eight,
a policeman stopped a Bolsfraggen, whosetheft had been reported Head Shuart Fuller,
tried to run away and struggled withthe officer, who came to fire his
weapon. In the end, thepolice managed to reduce his bandy was again

(39:14):
arrested and identified. In the followingmonths, evidence incriminating Bandy was gathered,
both for the events at the universitybrotherhood headquarters and for the murder of kimber
Leech. Other States requested his extradition, but the first hearing would be held
in Florida. The seventh of Julyof a thousand nine hundred and seventy-
nine. M Bandy made his owndefense in the trial for the Way Omega

(39:45):
Brotherhood murders, took testimony from witnessesand made relevant presentations. I acted with
a strictly professional approach, but atthe time of questioning a police officer about
the crime scene wave, the membersof the jury horrified the real Ted Bandy
and wals When he approached the peoplewho made up the jury, they reclined

(40:09):
in the seat. Leas asked peopleto describe in full detail what he saw
when he pulled the Sheets away atthat time. None of the people in
the room or who followed the viewon television had any doubt that what that

(40:30):
man wanted was to re- livehis atrocities. Two weeks later, Bandy
was sentenced to maximum punishment for themurders of Lisa Levy and Margaret Bowman.
In January 1980, Bandy was triedfor the murder of Kimberley Leach Once again

(40:51):
