PREVIOUSLY ON "SERIAL THRILLER: ANGEL OF DECAY"...

Bob: WE'VE GOT YOUNG WOMEN ALL ABDUCTED

ACROSS THE NORTHWEST THIS YEAR.

ONE MINUTE, THEY'RE HERE. THE NEXT, THEY'RE GONE.

WE WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE ANY YOUNG WOMEN IN THE SEATTLE AREA

TO BE AWARE OF THE COMPANY YOU KEEP.

BRENDA BALL.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.

Woman: LIZ, I THINK YOU SHOULD CALL THE COPS.

YOUR BOYFRIEND?

YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME.

Bob: YOU SEE MRS. STUTH YESTERDAY?

NO.

HE'S LYING.

Bob: WE'RE GONNA NEED AN APB ON GARY ADDISON TAYLOR,

SOUTH MELROSE STREET, TACOMA.

IS ANYONE THERE?

-RAH! -AAH!

-SURPRISE. -YOU!

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Doctor: WELL, I CAN'T TELL YOU MUCH MORE

THAN YOU ALREADY KNOW.

AS YOU IDENTIFIED,

THIS IS SUSAN RANCOURT AND BRENDA BALL.

Man: BRENDA BALL?

DIDN'T YOU SAY BRENDA BALL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS?

WELL, IT APPEARS THAT HE'S NOT AS PICKY AS I FIRST THOUGHT.

THIS IS KATHY PARKS.

THE OREGON GIRL?

YEAH, AND LYNDA HEALY.

NOW, THEY ALL HAVE SUFFERED

SIMILAR HEAVY BLOWS TO THE HEAD,

CROWBAR, TIRE IRON, SOMETHING BLUNT LIKE THAT.

ENOUGH TO KILL THEM?

CAN'T SAY. ONE THING, THOUGH.

YOU SAID THEY ALL DISAPPEARED

OVER A SIX-MONTH PERIOD, RIGHT?

YEAH, JANUARY TO JUNE LAST YEAR.

YEAH.

BECAUSE, FROM THE STATE OF THESE SKULLS,

I'D SAY THEY WERE ALL DUMPED AROUND THE SAME TIME,

FOUR TO SIX MONTHS BACK.

SO THIS SICK FREAK'S BEEN KEEPING THE HEADS SOME PLACE.

TROPHIES.

HE'S METHODICAL.

WE'VE SEARCHED THAT ENTIRE MOUNTAIN,

AND WE DIDN'T FIND A SINGLE OTHER BODY PART,

AND WE THINK THAT

HE COULD HAVE BEEN DECAPITATING THEM.

POSSIBLY.

HOW SIMILAR IS THE DAMAGE TO THE, UM, THE ISSAQUAH SKULL?

THE NASLUND GIRL?

BOB, IT'S IDENTICAL.

OKAY. SO WE'VE GOT SIX OUT OF THE NINE.

WHAT ABOUT HAWKINS, MANSON AND VONNIE STUTH?

I THINK ONE OF THEM

COULD BE THE UNIDENTIFIED ISSAQUAH BODY.

PLUS HE COULD HAVE A THIRD SITE

LIKE THE OTHER TWO WE FOUND.

THAT COULD BE ANYWHERE, THOUGH.

WHERE DO WE STAND ON SUSPECTS?

WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN, SIR.

Roger: WE'RE GETTING NEW LEADS

AS FAST AS WE CAN COUNT PEOPLE OUT.

WHAT ABOUT VONNIE STUTH'S NEIGHBOR, THE TAYLOR GUY?

HE COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW.

SINCE HE'S SKIPPED TOWN, THE ABDUCTIONS HAVE STOPPED.

VONNIE STUTH WAS THE LAST ONE.

THAT WE KNOW ABOUT.

SIR.

SIR, WE ARE GONNA FIND HIM, BUT WE'RE GONNA NEED MORE RESOURCES.

LISTEN, SHOW ME SOME PROGRESS,

AND I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN GET FROM THE SHERIFF.

AND THIS DECAPITATION THING?

NOT A WORD.

THE LAST THING I NEED IS SOME "SEATTLE TIMES" STORY

ABOUT THE HEADHUNTER.

Man on radio: ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THE LAKE SAM ABDUCTIONS,

AND THE MISSING AND MURDERED GIRLS' CASES

ARE STILL WIDE OPEN.

THE SMASHED SKULLS OF SIX YOUNG WOMEN

WERE FOUND DUMPED IN WOODLAND CLOSE TO SEATTLE,

BUT THE FATE OF TWO OTHER GIRLS REMAINS UNKNOWN.

POLICE SOURCES SUGGEST THE KILLER MAY HAVE MOVED AWAY

OR EVEN FLED THE COUNTRY.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

BUNDY: Liz, it's me.

WHO DOES THE LIPSTICK BELONG TO?

What?

THE LIPSTICK.

I FOUND IT IN WITH YOUR STUFF.

WHOSE IS IT?

You need to sober up.

I'll be back in two days. I'll see you then.

NO, DON'T HANG UP.

[ Phone clicks ]

Roger: SO, WHO'S THIS ONE?

Mike: KAREN CAMPBELL.

DISAPPEARED JANUARY 12th

FROM THE WILDWOOD INN IN SNOWMASS.

THEY FOUND HER FIVE WEEKS LATER

IN A SNOWDRIFT JUST OUTSIDE TOWN NAKED,

SEVERE SKULL DAMAGE.

THIS IS MELISSA SMITH,

VANISHED FROM A PIZZA PARLOR IN SALT LAKE LATE LAST YEAR.

ALSO FOUND NAKED, SODOMIZED,

STRANGLED WITH HER OWN PANTYHOSE.

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER SAID

SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KEPT ALIVE A WEEK.

AND WHAT'S THAT?

THE KILLER FORCED STICKS INTO HER VAGINA.

SHE WAS ONLY 17, DAUGHTER OF A COP.

NOTICE ANYTHING ELSE?

MAKEUP?

HAIR AND NAILS, TOO.

LIKES TO KEEP 'EM PRETTY AFTER HE'S KILLED 'EM.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

Man: ARE YOU IN THERE?

LISTEN, TAYLOR, IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA PAY UP,

THEN I SWEAR I'M GONNA BEAT THIS DOOR DOWN

AND THROW YOU OUT MYSELF.

[ KNOCKING CONTINUES ]

I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE.

I KNEW HE WAS TROUBLE THE MOMENT I SET EYES ON HIM.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

HE'S ON THE MOVE.

NINE VICTIMS IN WASHINGTON AND OREGON

JANUARY TO NOVEMBER, RIGHT?

YEAH.

TAYLOR SKIPPED TOWN, AND WOMEN STOPPED DISAPPEARING.

RIGHT.

BUT NOW WE'VE GOT THREE MORE IN UTAH AND COLORADO,

NAKED, RAPED, STRANGLED, BLUNT TRAUMA TO THE HEAD.

THEY WERE ALL FOUND IN THE WILDERNESS.

EXACTLY.

THEY WERE FOUND.

HE'S GETTING SLOPPY.

OR HE'S TAKING MORE RISKS.

HOW COME WE NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS STUFF?

YEAH, WELL, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME

WE SHARED STUFF WITH COPS FROM OUT OF STATE?

-HEY, BOB. -HEY, CATHY.

IT'S CHAOS IN HERE. ARE YOU WINNING?

UM, PASS.

WELL, AT LEAST YOU'RE GETTING PAID.

SOMEONE THINKS FRAUD AND CORRUPTION

MEANS I DO PAYCHECKS, TOO.

I FOUND THOSE ON MY DESK.

OH, WOW. THANKS.

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

YOU NEED ANYTHING, I'M JUST DOWN THE HALL.

OKAY.

SHE LIKES YOU.

SHUT UP, ROGER.

IT'S RILEY, RIGHT, WHO PRINTS ALL THESE?

YEAH, I THINK SO.

YEAH, HE HAS THIS SUPERCOMPUTER THING.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

Liz: JUST A SECOND.

I COME IN PEACE, AND I'M SORRY.

WHAT FOR?

EVERYTHING I'VE EVER DONE THAT'S EVER PROVOKED

EVEN THE SLIGHTEST DOUBT IN YOUR HEART.

HOW 'BOUT THAT?

THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE YOU NEED TO SAY SORRY TO.

OH, HEY, RILEY.

HEY, BOB. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

YOU GUYS PROCESS THESE, RIGHT?

THERE'S ONE FOR EVERY KING COUNTY EMPLOYEE,

SO 17,000 GIVE OR TAKE.

RIGHT.

ALL THAT INFORMATION IS, UM, STORED IN THIS?

THAT'S IT.

ADDRESSES, CONTRACT DETAILS, SALARIES.

-HIGH TECH. -MM.

AND IF I GAVE YOU SOME INFORMATION,

LIKE DRIVER'S LICENSES, SCHOOL REGISTRATION,

THAT SORT OF THING, YOU THINK

THAT THIS THING COULD SORT ALL THAT FOR ME?

YOU KNOW, COMPILE IT INTO LISTS

AND TELL ME WHO'S ON WHAT LIST?

GOT TO WRITE A PROGRAM, BUT I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.

IT'S AMAZING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

NO PROBLEM.

[ GASPS ] OH, HONEY.

NO PEEKING.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

NO PEEKING.

OKAY.

ARE THOSE DIAMONDS?

THOSE ARE REAL DIAMONDS.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

HEY, I'M THE ONE

THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ASKING ALL THE QUESTIONS HERE.

NO, WAIT.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

YOU CAN'T AFFORD A RING LIKE THIS.

DID YOU STEAL IT?

NO, I DID NOT STEAL IT.

WELL, WHERE DID YOU GET IT THEN?

YOU STOLE IT. YOU STOLE IT.

YOU'RE A THIEF.

DON'T EVER SAY THAT.

YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME YOU DO SOMETHING NICE,

SOMETHING BAD HAS TO COME WITH IT.

YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR.

YOU'RE A LIAR, AND YOU'RE A THIEF.

DO NOT SAY THAT!

YOU SAY THAT AGAIN, I WILL BREAK YOUR NECK!

DO YOU HEAR ME?! DO YOU HEAR ME?!

HUH?! I WILL SNAP YOUR NECK!

[ COUGHING ]

[ CRYING ]

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

NO, BABY. STAY THERE.

GO AWAY. GO AWAY.

[ CRYING ]

[ SIGHS ]

HERGESHEIMER. WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE.

YOU WANTED TO MEET?

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND.

I TRIED TO CALL THE FIRST TIME I SAW THIS.

IT -- IT LOOKS LIKE HIM.

I MEAN, IT'S CRAZY, BUT SO MANY THINGS,

THEY -- THEY DON'T ADD UP -- THE -- THE GAS RECEIPTS,

THE WEIRD PHONE CALLS,

THE ORIENTAL KNIFE THAT HE KEPT IN A WOODEN BOX

IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT OF MY CAR.

SOMETIMES, IT WAS THERE. AND SOMETIMES, IT WAS GONE.

AND THEN HE ATTACKED ME.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHOTOGRAPHS OF HIM?

I.D.?

HIS -- HIS -- HIS WORK I.D.

HE INTERNED ONE SUMMER FOR THE REPUBLICANS.

THIS IS THE GUY?

U.W. STUDENT, RIGHT?

UH, YEAH, A WHILE BACK.

WAIT, YOU KNOW HIM?

YEAH, YEAH. I REMEMBER THE NAME.

SOME PROFESSOR HAD SEEN THE COMPOSITE.

HE TIPPED US OFF. WE CHECKED HIM OUT.

HE'S CLEAN.

CLEAN?

YEAH, COMPLETELY.

YEAH, THAT'S HIM.

GUY EVEN HAD A CHARACTER REFERENCE FROM THE GOVERNOR.

MISS...YOUR BOYFRIEND MIGHT BE A CREEP,

BUT HE'S NOT A MURDERER.

[ SLURPS LOUDLY ]

[ LAUGHS ]

WHAT?

IS THAT GOOD?

YEAH.

WELL, THIS IS NICE.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD DO THIS MORE OFTEN.

WE WILL.

HEY, BOB. HI, SANDY.

I'M SORRY. THIS IS URGENT.

GARY ADDISON TAYLOR HAS TURNED UP,

AND WE FOUND A LOCATION ON VONNIE STUTH'S BODY.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

I'LL WAIT IN THE CAR.

I'M SORRY.

AT LEAST I HAD YOU FOR AN HOUR.

THANKS.

I, UM...

OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU BACK HOME.

YEAH.

Roger: TAYLOR WAS PICKED UP

ON A SEXUAL-ASSAULT CHARGE IN TEXAS,

ADMITTED TO KILLING TWO OHIO GIRLS IN DETROIT,

THEN CONFESSED TO KILLING VONNIE STUTH, TOO,

SAID THE COPS BEAT IT OUT OF HIM.

WELL, THEY PROBABLY DID.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

HE CONFESS TO ANY OF THE OTHERS?

NOT YET,

BUT HE SAID THE BODY IS BURIED AROUND THE BACK.

YOU SEE MRS. STUTH YESTERDAY?

HI, GARY.

VONNIE.

NO.

OKAY.

HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.

[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]

YES, SIR, HE DOES.

HEY, OVER HERE.

CHECK IT OUT.

Roger: DIDN'T DO MUCH TO COVER HIS TRACKS.

NOPE. BETTER GO GET THE GUYS.

Bundy: SO, THAT'S THE HOUSE WE'RE GONNA LIVE IN?

YEAH.

IS THAT ME MOWING THE GRASS?

HEY.

HEY.

I THINK MOMMY'S HAPPY I'M GOING BACK TO UTAH.

NO.

ACTUALLY, SHE KNOWS THAT YOU WERE DOING THE RIGHT THING,

AND SHE'S REALIZED THAT

SHE'S BEEN ACTING REALLY STUPID LATELY.

YOU KNOW, THE RING.

NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE. I'M THE ONE TO BLAME.

YOU KNOW, I LOST IT.

I CAN BE SUCH AN ASS.

WERE YOU SERIOUS... ABOUT MARRIAGE?

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

LISTEN, I GOT TO GO.

UH...

HOW ABOUT TONIGHT WE GO OUT AND WE CELEBRATE?

YEAH, A CELEBRATION SOUNDS REAL GOOD.

OKAY.

SHE DIED OF A SINGLE GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE HEAD.

WE'LL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK BACK AT THE LAB,

BUT THERE'S NO IMMEDIATE SIGN OF ANY OTHER INJURIES.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF I FIND ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

[ SIGHS ]

OH, GOD.

HE NEVER SHOOTS THEM.

WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.

HE COULD -- HE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A HURRY.

NO, COME ON, ROGER.

DUMPED HER IN THE BACKYARD WHERE ANYONE COULD FIND HER,

STILL IN ONE PIECE, CLOTHING STILL ON --

IT WAS TOO SLOPPY.

TAYLOR MIGHT HAVE KILLED VONNIE STUTH,

BUT HE DIDN'T KILL THE OTHERS.

OUR GUY'S STILL OUT THERE.

I'M GONNA CHASE UP RILEY.

I'LL SEE YOU BACK AT THE CAR.

Man: YOU REALIZE THAT EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE OF KING COUNTY

GOT PAID 10 DAYS LATE, INCLUDING THE SHERIFF,

BECAUSE THE PAYROLL COMPUTER WAS BLOCKED SOLID

WITH THIS STUFF?

Bob: MM-HMM.

PEOPLE WANT YOUR HEAD.

WELL, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO BEAT MY WIFE

TO THE FRONT OF THE QUEUE.

THE FIRST PAGE IS THE TOP 100 SUSPECTS,

CALCULATED BY HOW OFTEN THEY APPEAR ON THOSE LISTS --

MEN WHO MATCH THE DESCRIPTION, VW BUG DRIVERS,

COEDS, CLASSMATES, THAT KIND OF THING.

THAT'S VERY INVENTIVE. I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.

THANK YOU.

AND GARY ADDISON TAYLOR?

OUT OF THE PICTURE.

I MEAN, HE KILLED VONNIE STUTH,

BUT IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT M.O.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS BUSY KILLING ELSEWHERE

WHEN MOST OF OUR GIRLS DISAPPEARED.

I WANT TO START AT THE TOP OF THE LIST

AND WORK EACH NAME UNTIL WE FIND AN ALIBI,

BUT I NEED MORE HELP.

I CAN GIVE YOU ONE MORE DETECTIVE.

GOD KNOWS WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SOME PROGRESS ON THIS THING.

WHO DO YOU WANT?

CATHY McCHESNEY.

-McCHESNEY? -MM-HMM.

SHE'S 24.

THIS CASE IS ALL ABOUT WOMEN, SIR.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

[ OWL HOOTING ]

DID YOU MISS ME, SWEETIE?

Bob: WHY DO THEY KEEP FALLING FOR IT?

I MEAN, WHY DO THEY GO OFF WITH AN UNKNOWN GUY,

THIS LOSER?

I THINK HE LOVES WOMEN.

I THINK HE KNOWS WHAT THEY WANT,

AND HE LIKES THAT HE KNOWS IT.

ENTRAPMENT IS PART OF THE GAME.

HE CAN'T RESIST IT.

I MEAN, IF HE'S GONNA GET ANYWHERE NEAR THEM,

HE'S GOT TO BE MAGNETIC, CHARMING, WITTY.

HE'S GOT TO SHOW AN INTEREST.

HE'S NOT A JOCK.

WOMEN LIKE THAT. I'D LIKE THAT.

WE ALL WANT TO MEET A NICE GUY.

AT FIRST, THAT'S HIM.

THE FIRST KILLING IS DANGEROUS, SCARY PROBABLY...

BUT EXCITING.

EXPLORING HIS DARK SIDE AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT,

THAT'S GOT TO FEEL GOOD.

Bundy: HEY. WE MET AT THE WESTERN.

GIVES HIM POWER, SO HE TRIES IT AGAIN.

I WAS SO DRUNK.

THAT IS SO EMBARRASSING. I'M SO SORRY.

THE NEXT ONE'S GOT TO BE BETTER, MORE BRAZEN,

MORE EXCITING.

WHAT WAS IT YOU SAID ABOUT BOURBON?

IT MAKES ME VICIOUS.

VICIOUS?

YEAH? LIKE WHAT?

[ SCREAMS ]

IS HE GONNA KEEP ON KILLING?

OH, HE'S HOOKED. HE CAN'T STOP.

Roger: YOU'RE RIGHT.

HE'S A PSYCHOPATH.

OH, A PSYCHOPATH AND A SOCIOPATH,

BUT HE'S STILL HUMAN.

HE STILL EXISTS.

Bundy: EXCUSE ME, MISS.

DO YOU OWN A BLUE MUSTANG?

UH, YEAH. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

I'M OFFICER ROSELAND, MURRAY POLICE.

WE'VE HAD A REPORT OF CAR THEFT IN THE PARKING LOT.

COULD YOU FOLLOW ME PLEASE?

MY CAR?

YEAH.

A LOT OF THEFTS LATELY.

Woman: BUT THAT'S MY CAR RIGHT THERE.

I KNOW.

SOMEONE WAS SPOTTED TRYING TO BREAK INTO IT.

I'M GOING TO NEED YOU TO COME DOWNTOWN,

GIVE US A FEW DETAILS.

YOU, UM, YOU GOT ANY I.D.?

OH, SURE.

CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL. HOP IN.

BUCKLE UP.

AAH! GET OFF!

[ SCREAMING ]

GET OFF ME!

HELP! HELP!

IDIOT!

AND HE WAS THERE TWO NIGHTS?

SO, HE WAS THERE ON THE 14th?

OKAY. NO, NO, NO.

I, UH, I BELIEVE YOU. I'M JUST CONFIRMING.

ALL RIGHT, UH, THANKS. I APPRECIATE THAT.

YEAH. GOODBYE.

ANYTHING?

WELL, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT HIM.

JULIE, CAN YOU CROSS OFF NUMBER 5?

NUMBER 6.

[ SIGHS ]

STEP OUT OF THE CAR PLEASE, SIR.

CERTAINLY.

WHOA.

THERE'S REALLY NO NEED, OFFICER.

I'M A STUDENT.

LAW, WOULD YOU BELIEVE?

I WENT OUT TONIGHT TO SEE "THE TOWERING INFERNO."

I JUST GOT A LITTLE LOST ON MY WAY HOME.

STEP ASIDE, SIR.

YEP.

I CAN EXPLAIN THAT.

Roger: MISSED IT THE FIRST TIME AROUND.

Cathy: ABSOLUTELY.

YOU LOOK AT ONE OF THESE THINGS ON ITS OWN,

IT SEEMS KIND OF INCONSEQUENTIAL.

MORNING.

RIGHT. DOUGHNUTS?

WHAT IS IT?

WE GOT A HIT.

NUMBER 7.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

GOT PICKED UP IN SALT LAKE.

GREW UP IN TACOMA, WENT TO U.W. IN PUGET SOUND,

MOVES TO UTAH TO STUDY LAW LAST YEAR.

COPS FIND AN ABDUCTION KIT IN HIS CAR.

THEY DO A LITTLE INVESTIGATING.

HE'S LINKED TO AN ATTEMPTED KIDNAP.

HE DRIVES A VW BUG.

REPORTED BY HIS GIRLFRIEND AND A UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR.

REGISTERED IN THREE OF LYNDA HEALY'S CLASSES.

SHE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST.

WHY HAVEN'T WE LOOKED AT THIS GUY?

WELL, WE DID.

HERGE LOOKED AT HIM ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

HE LOOKED CLEAN THEN.

IT TURNS OUT NOW HE'S NEXT ON OUR LIST.

ALL RIGHT.

UM, ROGER, YOU WANT TO CHASE UP SOME ALIBIS?

YEAH.

CATHY, GET THE GIRLFRIEND IN HERE.

I'M GONNA LOOK BACK OVER LYNDA HEALY'S CASE.

THEODORE ROBERT BUNDY.

Roger: SO, WHAT'S THE SEX LIKE?

IS IT EXCITING... VIOLENT...NASTY?

OKAY, LOOK.

YOUR BOYFRIEND'S BEEN ARRESTED.

YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT, RIGHT?

NOW I'VE GOT A LIST OF DATES HERE.

SOME OF THEM YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE.

THESE ARE ALL THE DAYS

THE GIRLS WENT MISSING IN THE NORTHWEST,

GIRLS WHO NEVER CAME BACK.

ROGER. COULD YOU...

WERE YOU WITH HIM THAT DAY, JULY 14th?

THE EVENING.

WE WENT OUT TO DINNER.

WHERE WAS HE DURING THE DAY?

HE SAID HE WAS AT HIS MOM'S.

I'M NOT SURE.

HE DIDN'T GO TO LAKE SAM?

NO.

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU SAID YOU WENT OUT AT NIGHT.

UNTIL WHAT TIME?

I DON'T REMEMBER. HE LEFT EARLY.

WHY?

HE WAS ACTING WEIRD, SAID HE HAD SOME STUFF TO DO.

I REMEMBER BECAUSE MY FRIEND ANGIE,

SHE CAME TO THE BAR AFTERWARDS.

ANYWAY, I -- I SPOKE WITH THAT DETECTIVE.

AND HE SAID THAT YOU GUYS CHECKED HIM OUT,

AND HE WAS CLEAN.

SO, THIS IS -- THIS IS CRAZY, RIGHT?

LOOK, HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THOSE GIRLS.

HE WOULDN'T.

Man: TURN TO THE RIGHT PROFILE.

FACE THE FRONT.

IT'S HIM, NUMBER 7.

Cathy: YOU KNOW HE'S BEEN CHARGED?

AGGRAVATED KIDNAPPING.

NO. THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

HE WOULDN'T. YOU CAN ASK ANYONE.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THAT?

YOU EVER GIVE HIM A SKI MASK?

NOT THAT ONE.

WHAT IS THIS?

DO YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF THOSE ITEMS?

THAT'S HIS GYM BAG.

IT WAS A BIRTHDAY GIFT.

HE SAID HE LIKED THE LEATHER.

WHAT IS ALL THIS?

LIZ, THOSE ARE ALL THE ITEMS FOUND IN HIS CAR.

NO.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN ANY OF THAT?

NO.

HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

I LOVE HIM. WE'RE GONNA GET MARRIED.

I SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE.

IS HE VIOLENT WITH YOU?

NO.

ONCE OR TWICE.

DOES HE LIE?

CHEAT?

HE DIDN'T.

YOU SUPPORT HIM, DON'T YOU?

ONLY TILL HE GRADUATES, THEN HE'S GONNA PAY ME BACK.

GUYS LIKE THAT NEVER PAY YOU BACK.

YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS?

STEPHANIE BROOKS.

YEAH, HE SPOKE ABOUT HER.

IT'S FUNNY.

I THOUGHT SHE'D BE A KNOCK-OUT.

THAT PHOTO WAS TAKEN LAST YEAR.

THEY WERE ENGAGED.

Roger: DID THE GIRLFRIEND GIVE YOU ANYTHING?

Cathy: NOTHING CONCRETE BUT EVERYTHING ELSE --

SERIAL LIAR, GETS OFF ON ROUGH SEX,

HERE ONE MINUTE, GONE THE NEXT.

SHE COULDN'T GIVE HIM AN ALIBI FOR A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE DATES.

SHE FOUND GAS RECEIPTS FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE,

WOMEN'S CLOTHES HIDDEN IN HIS BEDROOM.

SHE EVEN FOUND A HATCHET UNDER THE CAR SEAT.

AND YOU BELIEVE HER?

YEAH.

THIS ISN'T SOME REVENGE THING. SHE LOVES HIM.

SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BELIEVE IT, BUT SHE'S NOT STUPID.

DO THE GAS RECEIPTS MATCH HIS CREDIT CARD?

THE CHEVRON CARD HAS BEEN FILLING UP CONSTANTLY,

OBSESSIVELY.

IT ALWAYS PEAKS AROUND THE TIME A GIRL DISAPPEARS.

HE FILLS UP ONCE THE DAY BEFORE,

TWICE AFTER KATHY PARKS DISAPPEARS FROM OREGON.

THAT'S A 500-MILE ROUND-TRIP.

WHAT ABOUT THE HEALY GIRL?

OH, WELL, HE LIVED EIGHT BLOCKS AWAY.

THEY HAD FRIENDS IN COMMON.

THEY EVEN SHOPPED AT THE SAME SAFEWAY.

HE STARTED WITH SOMEONE HE KNEW.

Man on radio: A KEEN STUDENT WITH A BRIGHT FUTURE --

THAT'S HOW FRIENDS DESCRIBE TED BUNDY.

BUT TODAY, THE FORMER REPUBLICAN PARTY AIDE

STANDS ACCUSED OF A SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A TEENAGER.

BUNDY WAS RELEASED ON BAIL.

THE 28-YEAR-OLD WILL RETURN TO SALT LAKE IN THE NEW YEAR

TO STAND TRIAL.

15 GRAND BAIL?

THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID.

THEY MUST THINK OUR BOY'S AS GOOD AS GOLD.

[ SCOFFS ]

SHE'S HIS MOTHER.

YOU THINK HE'LL SLIP UP?

NO, IT'S -- IT'S TOO MUCH HEAT.

YOU OKAY, BOB?

YEAH.

THERE HE IS, NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD.

MAKES ME WANT TO JUMP OUT THERE

AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM.

BOB, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'M GONNA GO TALK TO HIM.

HEY. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

Bundy: GENTLEMEN.

THREE WEEKS FOLLOWING ME EVERYWHERE I GO,

NOT EVEN A HELLO?

I'M TED.

WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

WE NEED TO DISCUSS OUR CASES, THE MURDERED GIRLS.

YEAH, IT SEEMS YOU GUYS

ARE HAVING A TOUGH TIME WITH THAT ONE, HUH?

SLIPPERY FISH?

YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THAT?

YEAH, I READ THE PAPERS.

I'VE GOT EIGHT DEAD GIRLS AND A LIST OF DATES.

DETECTIVE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP.

REALLY, I WOULD, BUT I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.

O'CONNELL TELL YOU TO SAY THAT?

OH, I DON'T LISTEN TO MY LAWYER.

I'D REALLY LIKE TO HELP YOU OUT,

BUT I CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SEARCH.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT?

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

"I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW"?

YOU STORM OVER THERE,

AND YOU ACCUSE AN INNOCENT MAN OF MURDER.

THE FIRST THING HE'S GONNA DO

IS BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO TELL YOU HE DIDN'T DO IT.

YOU CAN'T LIE TO BOB KEPPEL.

SO I'M WALKING IN WITH THE GROCERIES,

AND THIS DETECTIVE COMES CHARGING ACROSS THE STREET,

PRACTICALLY ACCUSES ME OF BEING THE WASHINGTON KILLER.

THAT'S NOT EXACTLY FRIENDLY, RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GET THEIR QUESTIONS FROM.

I REALLY DON'T.

SO, WHAT DID THEY ASK YOU?

NOT MUCH.

THEY WERE JUST CHECKING SOME DATES.

YOU'RE WORRIED, RIGHT?

ABOUT THE STORIES?

ABOUT THE TRIAL?

A LITTLE.

THEY GOT NOTHING, LIZ.

THEY'RE JUST MAKING UP JUICY HEADLINES.

HEAVEN'S CAMPAIGN, AIDES EXPECTED THIS AND THAT.

THESE THINGS, THESE CRIMES, THEY'RE DESPICABLE.

YOU CAN'T THINK I'M CAPABLE OF THAT, RIGHT?

I LOVE YOU, LIZ.

YOU'RE THE ONLY WOMAN I'VE EVER TRULY LOVED.

YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?

Man: THE COURT FINDS THAT,

IN THE ATTEMPTED KIDNAP AND MURDER

OF CAROL DARONCH OF MURRAY, UTAH,

THE AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES OUTWEIGH THE MITIGATING FACTORS

BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.

THE COURT FINDS THE DEFENDANT, THEODORE ROBERT BUNDY,

GUILTY AS CHARGED.

A SENTENCE OF NO LESS THAN ONE AND NO MORE THAN 15 YEARS

IN PRISON SHALL BE IMPOSED.

Woman on radio: ALREADY CONVICTED OF THE ATTEMPTED KIDNAP

OF A UTAH TEENAGER, THE LAW STUDENT TED BUNDY

IS NOW ON TRIAL FOR THE JANUARY '75 KILLING

OF A 23-YEAR-OLD NURSE.

CARYN CAMPBELL WAS ON VACATION WITH HER BOYFRIEND

WHEN SHE WAS ABDUCTED FROM HER HOTEL IN SNOWMASS, COLORADO.

SO, DO THE KIDS GET THEIR DAD BACK?

CAN YOU PASS ME THE POTATOES, PLEASE?

WELL, I'VE GOT TO GO AND SEE MIKE FISHER DOWN IN COLORADO

THIS WEEK, PRESENT HIM WITH EVERYTHING WE GOT.

YOU REALLY THINK HE KILLED ALL THOSE GIRLS,

THE UTAH AND COLORADO ONES, TOO?

NO, I KNOW HE DID.

I JUST CAN'T PROVE IT...YET.

[ JAIL DOOR CLANGS ]

COUNTING DOWN TO THE NEW YEAR, PETER?

YEP.

DOING ANYTHING SPECIAL?

DINNER WITH THE WIFE.

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.

NIGHT.

Mike: THESE ARE PHOTOS OF CARYN CAMPBELL'S BODY...

...FOUND NAKED IN A SNOWDRIFT.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS LEVEL OF MUTILATION BEFORE, BOB.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WELL, I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING HE'S LOCKED UP.

THIS IS DEFINITELY HIM.

IMPROVISED PERHAPS, OPPORTUNISTIC MAYBE,

BUT HIS TRADEMARK BRUTALITY, HIS VICTIM PROFILE.

WE'VE JUST GOT TO STICK IT ON HIM, MIKE.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

AAH!

BACK IN WASHINGTON, HE DOESN'T HAVE A SINGLE ALIBI.

WE CAN LINK HIM TO THE GIRLS.

WE CAN PUT HIM CLOSE TO MOST OF THE CRIME SCENES,

BUT I HAVEN'T GOT A SINGLE PIECE OF CONCRETE,

TANGIBLE EVIDENCE,

NOT A HAIR, NOT A PIECE OF CLOTHING,

NOT EVEN A FINGERPRINT.

WE'RE WORKING ON IT.

YOU JUST GOT TO KEEP HIM SAFE.

YOU LET ME KNOW ABOUT THE TRIAL.

-IDIOTS! -BOB?

HE'S ESCAPED.

CELEBRATION?

CAN I GET YOU A DRINK?

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO UNTIL HE GETS HIMSELF CAUGHT.

YOU HAD BUNDY ON THE PHONE, AND YOU HUNG UP.

YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS GUY.

HE'S A PREDATOR.
