Ted Bundy’s Final Confessions: Commentary & Analysis

[Mister Obvious]

Of how a person could be the guy next door, a friendly bank teller or cashier at the local market and
turn out to be a Jeffrey Dahmer.

That’s why I don’t entirely trust Ann Rule’s “The Stranger Beside Me” assessment of Ted... she didn’t even know there was anything wrong with him while they were working the suicide hotline together. So at the time, was she listening (COULD she hear?) to what he was saying to the people he was talking to? Probably not.

He even told her when they worked together that she should practice safety at night going out to her car, don’t sit around with the door open, lock the door as soon as you get in, etc. he was being helpful but at the same time it demonstrates his mind being preoccupied with violence even at that point/in that setting.

Ann Rule had a chance to make a bunch of money from having known Ted, and she did. That’s not to say there isn't valid info in her book, I’m sure there is... I’ve never read it. But I think it takes a certain kinda mind to really understand what the fuck Ted was doing.

I think his father was responsible for untold amounts
of abuse. Going on impressions I got watching several interviews with both Jeffrey and his father. And if it wasn't
him, it came from somewhere.

You could be right... there was some strangeness between them. Or just the way he acted in the presence of his father. Definitely something odd but, I’d have to question his mother too...

If he was sexually abused by a neighbor, that would go a long way in explaining things. But combine that with any home abuse and it makes sense he’d turn out warped.
