Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman

Men are pigs.

Seriously, you can do so much better than Bobby kelske.

Of all the girls at school,

how could he stand me up for Heidi Moore?

Well, if you switch her first and last initials,

her name is meidi hoore.

Thank you for meeting me, Mel.

I don't know what I would do without you.

Don't mention it. Hey, it's Saturday night.

Let's go to my house and have an old-fashioned slumber party.

Slumber party?

No, we're not in the sixth grade!

In the sixth grade, we. Didn't have these.

Look at you.

Cool it. I don't have enough for everybody.

All right. Let's go.

Okay.

Oh, damn it.

What? What's wrong?

Auntie flo decided to pay her monthly visit.

- Ew. - I'll be right back.

Well, take your time. I'm gonna have a cigarette.

Shit.

Damn it.

Hello?

Anyone?

A little help.

Okay.

Ah, shit.

Uh, you... You need help there?

Ugh. Oh, yeah.

I, uh, I dropped my keys.

And I, uh, I can't.

Um, I'm sorry. Would you mind?

You see, I sprained my knee on the slopes.

My battery died,

and now I'm stuck out here in the cold.

It's not really been my day either, so.

Thank you. You are a lifesaver.

Don't mention it.

Uh, shit!

That was fast.

I'm sorry.

This is the last time, I promise.

I think, I... I think they went under there.

Jill?

What the hell, Jill?

I was just helping this guy out.

Helping him with what?

Find his keys.

Yeah. I'm sure that was all you were doing.

Screw you, Bobby. You were the one that ditched me for Heidi.

And now I'm ditching Heidi for you.

So, get the fuck in.

I told Melissa I was gonna spend the night with her.

Didn't you hear me? I said now!

Thanks a freakin' lot, Jill.

Dammit, Jill.

Please, sir, who are you?

What do you want from me?

Please, please.

Let me out. Please.

My dad's a cop, asshole. He's expecting me any minute.

And when he sees you, he will kick the living shit out of you.

Guilt is a mechanism

we use to control people.

It's, uh, an illusion,

a kind of, uh, a social control mechanism.

Do I feel guilty for anything I've done?

No. I feel sorry for people who feel guilt.

What's one less person on the face of this earth anyway?

His first victim was 18-year-old Karen sparks,

poli-sci major at the university of Washington.

On the night of January 4th,

the suspect entered Karen's bedroom as she slept,

bludgeoned her with a metal rod he'd torn from her bed frame,

and proceeded to sexually assault her with it.

Karen was lucky. She survived.

She spent the next ten days in a coma

and suffered permanent brain damage from the attack.

Less than a month later, Lynda Healy,

a 21-year-old psychology major,

was abducted in the middle of the night

after an intruder broke into her basement apartment.

It's been nine months since her abduction,

yet no trace of Lynda Healy has been found.

Next.

Donna Gail manson, age 19.

Three weeks later,

Susan rancourt, age 18.

Susan's disappearance was followed by

Roberta parks, age 20,

followed by Brenda ball,

and georgeann Hawkins.

Like the others,

none of these girls have been seen or heard from since.

Yes, Mr. Swindley.

I mean, by the looks of it,

these chicks, they're all sort of the same type.

What "type" is that, exactly?

Foxy, long legs, short skirts.

The type that's usually up for a good time.

Maybe they led this guy on.

I mean, you know how the old saying goes, right?

"If you're advertising, you must be selling."

If stupidity was painful, Shane.

You'd be in agony.

Ooh.

Three months ago, on July 14th, the suspect struck again

during a huge celebration at lake sammamish state park.

This time, suspect's far more brazen.

Numerous witnesses reported seeing a man

with his left arm in a sling asking various women

if they would help him rig a sailboat up to his car.

Two of those women unfortunately took the bait.

Denise naslund, Janice ott.

Both women decapitated.

Both had been brutally raped.

Postmortem.

And multiple witnesses confirmed

they'd seen a suspect driving either a tan or brown vw beetle.

When the suspect approached them,

he told them his name.

It was Ted.

How is a woman like a laxative?

They both irritate the shit out of you!

Since when did my desk become the designated break room?

And good morning to you, too.

What's this look like to you, mcchesney?

Names of our victims.

Dates. Some random numbers.

Shane here has come up with

a rather brilliant theory

that could crack your case wide open.

Really?

What theory is that?

Pay attention.

Thirty-six, 23, 36, 23, 36.

Number of days between each abduction.

Look at this kid. He hasn't even graduated yet.

He's already gunning for his old man's job.

Except it's not accurate.

There were 45 days between Susan rancourt's

and Brenda ball's disappearances.

You also forgot the fifth victim, Roberta parks.

If you paid attention in class,

you'd already know that we went over these patterns.

Thirty-six, 23, 36, 23, 45.

Well, I just hope we don't have another

zodiac-hippy-devil-worshipping- Charles-fucking-manson

on our hands.

Manson actually wasn't a devil worshipper.

Charlie is quite the talker though.

As you might imagine, his favorite subject is himself.

Who the fuck are you?

And who the fuck let you down here?

I'm sorry. Captain swindley?

Supervisory special agent Robert ressler.

I'm with the behavioral science unit of the FBI.

What's this about?

I'm not here to step on anyone's toes.

Just to observe and offer my assistance.

I have my task force well under control.

We don't need any assistance from the feds.

Why would the bureau be taking an interest in this case?

Have they been developing their own leads?

No, nothing like that.

Part of our new mandate is to educate local law enforcement

by passing along information we've gathered.

Gathered from whom?

Interviews we've conducted

with convicted offenders.

We've been studying the psychological aspects

of their crimes

in the hopes of eventually developing a profile.

Oh, you hear that, Shane?

This is my son Shane.

He just graduated wsu with a degree in psychology

and he's already top of his class at the academy.

He is going to be your best resource around here.

Actually, I was thinking I would work with.

Uh, detective mcchesney.

Kathy here, she's from our sex crimes division.

You know, I figured it's a good idea

to have at least one gal on the team.

You know, soften up the witnesses,

you know what I mean?

And here I was thinking

it was because of her exemplary track record.

I observed part of your class, detective.

- I was impressed. - Thank you.

I joined the task force after the lake Sam murders.

Janice ott and Denise naslund.

Last two taken, first ones found.

Only ones found.

We still have six girls missing.

Well, it's been real quiet around here

for the last three months.

No miss August. No miss September.

No miss October.
