By her own admission, Rule felt safer when she and Ted Bundy worked late nights at a Seattle crisis center. Rule was no 'slouch'. She was a former police officer and a true crime author, and was certainly no fool. But that is a testiment to how Jekyle/Hyde Bundy was. If he could fool the likes of Ann Rule what chance did his victims have of recognizing the Hyde the was the real Ted Bundy.

Why would a sociopath like Ted Bundy volunteer at a crisis clinic?

It was a requirement for Bundy's psychology studies in order to obtain his degree. The rumor was that when Bundy, when manning the phones alone, would turn the phone off so he didn't have to deal with people in crisis. When fellow volunteer Ann Rule was present Bundy was on his best behavior, councelling distressed people with the utmost sensitivity. As is true for most antisocial personalities, Bundy wore a mask of civility in order to live among normal humans without detection of his true self.

Could you have some examples of good books to read on Ted Bundy?

I can name my favorites, which are based on the accuracy and research on the part of the author. Anne Rule's The Stranger Beside Me, is in my opinion, the Bundy bible. Rule was a personal friend of Bundy's during his college years in Washington state. Ted Bundy: Conversations With A Killer written by Steven Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth gives the reader a glimpse into the Bundy after his crimes. They did a very competent job. And lastly, Rebecca Morris' Ted and Ann, explores the possibility that Bundy's first victim was Ann Marie Burr, abducted from her home and never found, when Bundy was the Burr's paperboy, at the time he was 14 years old.


Are there photos of Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy?

Yes. You are refering to the TV movie starring Mark Harmon called 'The Deliberate Stranger' from 1986. Google Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy and hit images and there you go. I thought Harmon did a fine job portraying Bundy and captured Bundy's creepyness without over-playing the part. Bundy was a complex creature and may never be fully understood. Sometimes Bundy was a mystery even to himself. References:The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule

Was Ted Bundy a lawyer?

As a law school drop-out Bundy refused the first rule of the Bar. Never represent yourself. Bundy had such a huge opinion of himself that he felt nobody could represent him like hecould. He was wrong. Although the court appointed attorneys to help Bundy with his defence, Bundy did the bulk of lawyering himself. And look at the result.Bundy's only known victim to escape appeared as a witness for the prosecution. Carol LaRoche was cross-examined by Bundy himself, as is routine in a trial. She had to look into the face of the man that had tried to murder her and answer his questions. Experts felt this was just another way for Bundy to victimize LaRoche and they were right. But she remained poised and held it together and her testimony was very damaging to Bundy's case. He should have let one of his assistant attorneys question LaRoche but this was Bundy's show and he called the shots.
