There’s a Hollywood film coming out charting Ted Bundy‘s twisted life, and there’s the Ted Bundy Tapes documentary currently showing on Netflix. Both aim to explore the mind, the madness, of a man routinely described as “charming”, “handsome”, “intelligent”, despite being America’s most deadly serial killer.
(Netflix has even been forced to discourage viewers from posting about his “hotness” on social media.)
This morbid fascination with Bundy means that, even 30 years on from his execution, most would recognise his name. Most would recognise his face. Most would be able to recall at least some of what this monstrous crimes involved, including the abduction, torture, rape, and/or murder of at least 30 women and girls in the mid-to-late 1970s.
But would we recognise any of those women?
These are just some of their stories.

In my opinion we simply shouldn't be talking about Bundy at all.
Wonder how a Ted Bundy in the social media times of today wouldve gone.Instagram with an adoring female following perhaps
Very likely. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and James Holmes are two more modern examples, though neither are serial killers. I remember reading that they both had fairly large (predominantly female)followings on Tumblr.
You know he would and that makes me want to vomit.
The Boston Bomber was on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and when I Googled ‘Boston bomber’, the first option that came up was ‘cute one’. The ‘hot felon’ guy has turned a mug shot into a modelling career (and scored a wealthy girlfriend in the process). Seems for some people, being good looking means behaviour is irrelevant.
It's like if you're good looking bloke and you chat up a girl that's ok but if you aren't so good looking you're a sleazoid
