About this episode

This episode explores the life and crimes of Ted Bundy, detailing his trials, execution, and the psychological aspects of his character.

Part 4 of a 4 part series Jim Chapman brings you into the shadows of one of America’s most notorious serial killers: Ted Bundy . This episode covers Bundy’s Florida trials, including the Chi Omega and Kimberly Leach cases, both ending in death sentences. It also follows his time on death row, marriage, daughter, final interview, and execution.

From his troubled childhood to his final days on…
