I asked him how long it had been since he’d gone with Stephanie, and he said they’d broken up in 1968, but that Stephanie was still single.
“Do you think she might love me again if I sent her a dozen red roses?”
It was such a naive question that I looked up to see if he was serious. He was. When he talked about Stephanie in the spring of 1972, it was as if the intervening years hadn’t happened at all.

If, as many people believe today, Ted Bundy took lives, he also saved lives. I know he did, because I was there when he did it.

It was a bright spring day in 1969 when Stephanie walked out of her office building. She didn’t see Ted. There was suddenly someone behind her, someone putting his hands on her shoulders. She turned around and there he was. If he had expected that she would be delighted to see him, that their romance could be resumed, he was to be harshly disappointed.

After working in the sawmill the next summer, Ted transferred to the University of Washington where he began a program of intensive Chinese. He felt that China was the country that we would one day have to reckon with, and that a fluency in the language would be imperative.

Ted Bundy fits no pattern at all; you could not look at his record and say: “See, it was inevitable that he would turn out like this.” In fact, it was incomprehensible.
