My theory and what I assume is that when Ted worked for the suicide hotline, he was procuring victims.
Back in the early days, he wanted to kill people, but he had a moral hangup about it...
So he decided that he'd find a way to kill people who already wanted to die anyway.
My guess is he probably got details from some of these people he talked to, like their name and maybe where they went to school etc., and tracked them down using those details.
The only issue with the theory is that if he successfully talked people 'down from the ledge' and they didn't want to die anymore... that would throw a monkey wrench into things on a moral level.
So perhaps he only pursued people who he felt he wasn't successful in 'talking down' or people he figured would just relapse into wanting to kill themselves.
