From <a href=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/abducted-in-plain-sight\/\">true crime documentaries<\/a> to murder mysteries, there&#8217;s just something about these creepy and disturbing stories. It&#8217;s not that they&#8217;re entertaining (although many of them are!). It&#8217;s the suspense and the intrigue. The disbelief that things like that could really happen.\u00a0 It&#8217;s seeing survivors of horrific circumstances live to tell their tale. And in some ways, these stories serve as a warning to us, a step-by-step guide of what not to do and who not to trust. These types of stories also make us realize that monsters don&#8217;t always have glowing red eyes and sharp fangs. Sometimes they look just like the all-American guy next door. That&#8217;s what people are realizing while watching <em>Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Ted Bundy was one of the most notorious serial killers in history. He confessed to killing 30 people, but the number is believed to be much higher. He terrorized communities across the country. But at the height of his crime spree, before his face and name became instantly recognizable, he used his generic good looks and charming personality to lure his victims to their deaths. Ted Bundy was a monster, there&#8217;s no doubt about that. But he wasn&#8217;t the kind of monster we were used to seeing, which makes him even scarier. The Netflix documentary uses hours of recordings of interviews Bundy gave while on death row, and is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a madman. Here&#8217;s what you might have missed, and some stuff the filmmakers left out.<\/p>\n<h2><em>Conversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes\u00a0<\/em>is unique in that it includes audio from death row interviews with the serial killer.<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_200522\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-200522\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-200522 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50559205_140318483660933_5589187568488586915_n-640x640.jpg\" alt=\"ted bundy\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50559205_140318483660933_5589187568488586915_n-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50559205_140318483660933_5589187568488586915_n-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50559205_140318483660933_5589187568488586915_n.jpg 745w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 620px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 620\/620;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-200522\" src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50559205_140318483660933_5589187568488586915_n-640x640.jpg\" alt=\"ted bundy\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50559205_140318483660933_5589187568488586915_n-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50559205_140318483660933_5589187568488586915_n-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50559205_140318483660933_5589187568488586915_n.jpg 745w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-200522\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Btxl7YUBAmN\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram\/@tedbundy_ig<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Ted Bundy story has been done ad nauseam, in books and TV shows and even movies. But rarely do we get a chance to hear from the killers themselves. The Netflix documentary is a candid look inside the mind of a very twisted individual.

It&#8217;s incredibly creepy, and the hours of interviews conducted by reporters\u00a0Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth shed some light on the notorious killer.

Bundy always denied any involvement in the abduction and murder of Ann Marie. But there&#8217;s a longstanding rumor that he confessed to the crime at one point, either in prison or during the confessions he made right before his execution. Bundy exhibited much of the odd behavior we associate with psychopaths during childhood (harming animals, effortless lying, etc.), so it&#8217;s not a stretch to suspect her murdered Ann Marie.<\/p>\n<h2>Less than a month before he murdered Lynda Ann Healy, he attacked another female student at the University of Washington.<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_200609\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-200609\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-200609 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50254468_112112559893080_4947487838770244813_n-640x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 620px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 620\/620;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-200609\" src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50254468_112112559893080_4947487838770244813_n-640x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-200609\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BtTDIUqnoad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Image: Instagram\/@theempoweredwomanproject<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the early morning hours of January 4, 1974, Ted Bundy <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ted_Bundy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">broke into the basement apartment<\/a> of 18-year-old Karen Sparks.

He resorted to this evil manipulation to get women to let their guards down around him.<\/p>\n<h2>He escaped prison not once, but twice.<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_200623\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-200623\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-200623 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50583830_621374611641449_4511931731475429880_n-640x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"775\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50583830_621374611641449_4511931731475429880_n-640x800.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50583830_621374611641449_4511931731475429880_n-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50583830_621374611641449_4511931731475429880_n.jpg 650w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 620px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 620\/775;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-200623\" src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50583830_621374611641449_4511931731475429880_n-640x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50583830_621374611641449_4511931731475429880_n-640x800.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50583830_621374611641449_4511931731475429880_n-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/50583830_621374611641449_4511931731475429880_n.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-200623\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BtzozLJgGq4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram\/@infamous.bundy<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In 1976, Bundy was <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ted_Bundy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">convicted<\/a> of the kidnapping and assault of Carol DaRonch and was sentenced to 1-15 years in Utah State Prison. He was serving his sentence when he was extradited to Colorado to stand trial for the murder of Caryn Campbell. During a preliminary hearing, Bundy (acting as his own lawyer) was allowed to go to the law library to research case law for his defense. He jumped from the window of the library and escaped into the woods. He was a fugitive for six days before being captured. In late 1977, still in jail and awaiting trial for Campbell&#8217;s murder, Bundy escaped once again. This time, he managed to elude authorities long enough to get to Florida, where he committed the murders that eventually landed him on death row.<\/p>\n<h2>Ted Bundy actually helped investigators catch another serial killer.<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_200624\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-200624\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-200624 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/47694846_283264352361104_960303230098420715_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/47694846_283264352361104_960303230098420715_n.jpg 320w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/47694846_283264352361104_960303230098420715_n-160x200.jpg 160w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 320px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 320\/400;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-200624\" src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/47694846_283264352361104_960303230098420715_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/47694846_283264352361104_960303230098420715_n.jpg 320w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/47694846_283264352361104_960303230098420715_n-160x200.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-200624\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BsqRR_fgPdP\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram\/@mr.disturbing<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It takes a killer to catch a killer, we suppose!
