Ted Bundy’s Final Confessions
Commentary & Analysis
Interview Date: January 22, 1989
Location: Starke, Floгida
Interviewer: Dennis Couch
"We can do something good" what in the fuck is he talking about?? He didn't even give them that many answers, he didn't even help them that much. He held things back. I guess by "we can do something good" he just means he'll do like a COUPLE of good deeds to not even come close to balancing out all the bad shit. What a guy.
Get the man a fuckin' map! "It used to be a problem back when I lived there" ROFL, darn, those pesky maps! It all looks the same, always one challenge right after another when you're trying to find an optimal spot to hide the body eh?! Oh he needs a HIGH RESOLUTION MAP, he needs a TOPOGRAPHY MAP. Well, fuck us! This guy is full of shit.
"You could spend several lifetimes looking for something there"... this guy is creepy as shit y'all. Very strange statement wherein he gives away some of his deeper spiritual beliefs. We're definitely dealing with someone who believes in reincarnation and doesn't even take his life or anyone else's life seriously because of those beliefs. Ted is an extreme example of taking this reincarnation belief too far... the philosophy that we're all born and live again doesn't excuse the vicious killing of innocents.
9:15 "Whatever the most efficient way was during those days" like what the fuck was this guy's perception of time? He was in prison for a decade, not 100 years. It's just so weird.
10:50 Ted denies carving his name on the trees, but this type of behavior is also ritualistic and ties into the theory that killing was a highly ritualistic and spiritual practice to him. If there were any bodies in those areas and he didn't want them to know because he was trying to protect his sacred sites, then of course he would tell them that he didn't carve his name on those trees.
He keeps criticizing the quality of the map stating that he needs one that shows dirt roads and so on. In a way it's understandable, and of course we can't see the map he was given in order to be able to determine how specific he could have gotten with it. But the fact of the matter is, Ted Bundy liked to visit the sites where he discarded his victims several times, therefore he had to know how to find them again. It's more likely that he's just playing mind games with the investigator.
13:20 he says he "turned left" at that small town with the flashing amber lights, which is so non-specific anyway, I bet that he is completely misleading them and telling them the opposite of the real directions.
15:25 there is absolutely no logical reason that he should have to focus on "one at a time"... this man is an unimaginable bastard.
17:25 he says it was a dirt road, but earlier he had said that the road with the gate was paved. Is he literally making this up on the spot?
21:20 everything's always "on the left".
22:35 "How deep was the grave?" and Ted can't even answer this question in a reasonable timeframe. I mean it couldn't have been that deep, could it? It takes a while to dig a deep hole. He said that he returned to SLC in the same night, so he couldn't have spent that much time digging a hole. For example, SLC to Price UT is a two hour drive. Ephraim UT is also a 2 hour drive if he really was on Highway 89 as he claimed, which I seriously doubt.
It sounds like he's just taking forever to answer their questions because he knows there's a limited time they can spend interviewing him and he wants to waste as much of it as he can.
"There's just nothing open at all" in reference to his schedule the next day when they were discussing getting better maps. So it's clear at this point that he was just trying to use the map quality to buy more time. He decides that approach is a lost cause, so it's at this point in the interview that he switches gears... into a much lower speed.
Wow, Ted was a real snooze to talk to.
36:36 "You haven't slept for a while have you?" The problem isn't that Ted was tired, the problem was that he had entered into this interview with absolutely no intention of actually being helpful. Once his approach of trying to buy more time with the maps failed, there was no incentive for him to work with them at all anymore. He didn't want to give away the details of the encounters with his victims, they were sacred to him.
