00:00:13,138 --> 00:00:15,056
[Rich Bundy]
The last time I visited Ted,

4
00:00:16,015 --> 00:00:18,601
I took a bus
from here in Tacoma, Washington,

5
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:21,688
clear across the country to Florida
to go see him by myself.

6
00:00:23,815 --> 00:00:25,984
The visiting room
was all black and dark,

7
00:00:26,067 --> 00:00:27,527
and he wasn't showing his face.

8
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:30,613
It felt weird.

9
00:00:32,031 --> 00:00:34,826
I never asked Ted
if he killed those women.

10
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:39,080
I was just so confused,
still believing that he was innocent.

We have almost two dozen young women dead,
the victims of the Green River Killer.

17
00:01:15,116 --> 00:01:18,203
[William Birnes] The whole premise
was using one killer

18
00:01:18,286 --> 00:01:19,454
to catch another killer.

19
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,123
It had never been done before.

Mr. Bundy has had his days in court.

[Bob Keppel]
The clock on Bundy's life ticked down.

38
00:03:15,153 --> 00:03:18,072
He and his lawyers launched
last-ditch appeals

39
00:03:18,156 --> 00:03:22,035
to the governor of Florida
and the US Supreme Court

40
00:03:22,118 --> 00:03:24,662
asking for a stay of execution.

41
00:03:25,705 --> 00:03:27,999
[Birnes] He says,
"If I confess to a case

42
00:03:28,082 --> 00:03:31,085
"and you take me back into court
and find me guilty,

43

and I get to stay alive."

45
00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:38,218

That's when Ted called me back,

46
00:03:38,301 --> 00:03:41,221
just two months after our last meeting.

47
00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:46,309
[Bill Hagmaier] There were four states
invited to come down.

Investigators from Colorado,
Utah, Idaho,

49
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:54,067
and Washington.

50
00:03:55,401 --> 00:03:59,072
They thought that
he killed between 20 to 100 women.

51
00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:03,576
And so, Ted's trying to extend his life.

52
00:04:04,369 --> 00:04:08,248
And he's going to say enough
that they're going to go back and say,

53
00:04:08,331 --> 00:04:10,458
"Hey, give him another 90 days."

so Ted wanted me to be there.

00:04:19,175 --> 00:04:21,511
And Bob was the first one
that interviewed him.

58
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,764

[♪ dark dramatic music playing]

60
00:04:33,773 --> 00:04:36,234
[Bob Keppel] Bundy had groomed me
to be his confessor

You know, the years go on.

uh, as early as 1986.

68

After all that hard work,

69
00:04:59,841 --> 00:05:03,511
I never had a thought
that we weren't gonna catch him.

70
00:05:03,594 --> 00:05:06,389

I was face-to-face with Bundy again,

74
00:05:15,106 --> 00:05:18,484
and only had a single two-hour meeting
to get him to confess

75
00:05:18,568 --> 00:05:20,820
to the eight murders in Washington State.

76
00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:28,161
In my first 20 minutes with Ted,

77
00:05:28,244 --> 00:05:29,245
he was stalling.

78
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:32,790

But just as soon as he opened up,
he shut down again.

He was nervous about
the corrections officers in the room.

I suspected
Bundy was talking about himself

00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:46,886
when he suggested this was how
the Riverman disposed of evidence.

145
00:14:48,721 --> 00:14:50,723
And now, Ted confirmed it.

Bundy doesn't wanna be caught,

but the possibility of it

148
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:59,440
is part of the heightened sense of it,

00:15:01,358 --> 00:15:03,360
that's highly titillating.

150
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:21,253
[Bob Keppel] Bundy was obviously
withholding the goriest details

Bundy was trying to humanize himself.

170

He wanted others
to postpone his execution,

171
00:18:09,671 --> 00:18:13,425
and if he described
what he did post-mortem to the victims,

172
00:18:13,509 --> 00:18:16,386
it would make him seem extremely deviant

173
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:19,264

somebody they'd wanna keep around

Ted had said enough to confirm

to two more murders.

This, and his admission
he killed both girls
