My mother-in-law was sorority sisters with Georgann Hawkins. They lived together in the Theta house. My MIL's older brother was also attending the UW. He was Georgann's boyfriend, and he lived in a nearby fraternity house. Georgann had gone to visit him and get his notes from Spanish class. He would normally have walked her home, but she told him not to because he was feeling sick. Ted Bundy kidnapped her just minutes later. My MIL remembers how distraught Georgann's roommate was the next morning. She was in tears at the breakfast table because Georgann hadn't come home last night. My MIL remembers Georgann as "a darling girl" and how much her brother really liked her. He probably feels so guilty that he didn't walk her home that night, though of course none of this was his fault. He is such a lovely person, and I can tell that Georgann was, too. Edna, thank you for sharing your story. I'm so glad that Ted never physically harmed you, but I'm so very sorry for the trauma you experienced. ❤
Apparently several witness saw a guy hobbling around on crutches around the Theta house for several days leading up to her disappearance. He even approached another girl at the Theta house to carry a gas can to his VW and she wised up at the last moment. Too bad there were no video cameras in the day. I grew up in Tallahassee and my own mom babysat one of the Chi Omega girls that was there that awful night and the last to see Margaret Bowman alive. Bundy forever changed Tallahassee and my childhood.
@@music4lainey686 He always put on an act like he was physically vulnerable. Who thinks that a guy on crutches or an arm in a cast and sling are going to b able to kill you. Honestly, Ann Rule was his suicide hotline buddy. They worked as a team. She thought he was a lovely and kind guy. She never got over it. She was certain that she, as a true crime author and a former policewoman, would know who to avoid.
That dude was pure evil. There are missing girls all over here in western colorado that fit the profile and the time he was here perfectly. No doubt they are bundy victims that have never been found.
@@bcoull290He was still shouting out names being led to the chair, from what I understand. He wanted more time on the mortal coil for exchange of information. They said no !!
I grew up in Ted's hometown, or he grew up in mine. He went to Wilson High School as did most of my friends, at the same time. They did not think Ted was handsome NOR charming. He always tried to get himself invited to everything and no one wanted him along. He tried to hang around with them, but was never welcome. They thought he was "creepy" all those years ago.
Bundy’s ability to charm people included men. It certainly didn’t help that the men in position of police/power allowed him lenient security and simply didn’t believe he could be the killer. He escaped several times because of them. The sentencing judge was so disrespectful to the victims by fawning over Bundy during the sentencing.
He killed a girl that went to my high school, albeit way before my time. (I went to Viewmont High School in Bountiful, Utah.) But my AP European History teacher started talking about Debbie Kent one day. He still remembered exactly where she sat in his class. My babysitter remembered her dad and brother volunteering to go look in the mountains for her. Her body was never found. So sad.
Ann Rule. The Stranger Beside Me. Ann Rule is the top author in True crime. She volunteered at a suicide help line with Ted Bundy. Even she didn’t sense his true nature. She lived in Washington state down the road from Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer. Her book on Bunday is detailed and one you can’t put down. She passed away a few years ago.
There is a statement made by Ann Rule, in her book, that when she heard that the suspect drove a Volkswagen, she wondered if it was Ted. Up until that moment she had not thought of him as anything but a friend but she suddenly realized he was capable of this. She must have picked up clues.
Thanks for sharing this Nate and to Megan for your help with this, but especially to Edna for your courage in telling your side in this horrific story. I will be getting your book, and prayers to you🙏🏼 that in the telling, whatever darkness that your cousin’s evil brought upon your life is truly lifted away! ✌🏽Peace

He continued down the road a little ways, turned into what would be a farmer's field entrance, reversed and headed back towards us.

The only good thing that came from Lori & Chad in Hawaii was not their marriage it was introducing so many to Nate Eaton. I am still a follower and a fan of his not only with the news but his personal channel just bought the book. Thanks for the intel Nate. Thank you for sharing your story Edna. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL.
Who cares about Ted Bundy’s lofty dreams? If I was his victim, I would not want a fluffy book out talking about his childhood, his family history. Every book portrays him as handsome, charming, intelligent…what about his sadistic murderous personality?
I’ve just started listening to this and all I can think about is his little brother. He has had a hard life trying to reconcile his older brother’s actions. I’m listening to Linda’s crime investigation and I’ll never forget video from a documentary where the police just didn’t care where one said “she must have gone out for an abortion”. The misogyny.
I saw the video with Ted's younger half brother. This situation has truly ruined his life. He is so traumatized and seems to carry the guilt and shame Ted never did. I wish his brother peace.
I have chill bumps listening to this. I had a very brief encounter with Ted Bundy (or his identical twin) in Orlando when I was in my early teens. He tried to pull me into a new Toyota he was driving. Although momentary, it traumatized me for the rest of my life.
Northern Central California here. I’ve seen these 2 women before, while writing the book, cannot remember the channel on TV. Very strange Bundy was around her girlfriends, then committed The horrific things he did. A lot of women were very scared during his time! I was 16 then. Thank you Nate, take care, see you in next one. 🙏❤️🤗

Very interesting Nate - always interested in learning more about Ted Bundy. I was 14 when I woke up & saw the pics of the Chi Omega victims in Tallahassee, Florida in (1977?) splashed across the front page of our local paper. It was the end of innocence for our small, southern college-town.
I think these types like Bundy are born wired wrong and something sets them off many of them have described a monster inside them that they have no control over and can’t stop what they do it’s the only thing that makes them feel exhilarated and alive 😢
@@strawberryseason That person whoever they are? Are a person who criticises people involved in this case and "think about the victims" but it's peculiar how they don't tell themselves that with them not being able to stop themselves being all over lots of videos on this case? I'd call them a hypocrite! They shouldn't criticise as they won't be able to feed their addiction to this case. I'm putting this case because I'm not typing his name TB. Edna didn't do anything written her book and I bet they even bought the book?!
God Edna, you're lucky you're alive. You must be permanently nauseated. I would be. You made it through the horror. You should be very proud of yourself.
@Vivianamarie01 Vivian if you haven't taken psychology 405, please try to educate yourself. Sociopaths have no care for their victims or anyone else for that matter. They feel no empathy. So you're saying he has empathy for his family members? That's a huge stretch and just not true. But I'll give you a break. It could be because in his mind he knew his family. However we are a family of human beings don't you agree? Just because he's a friend of one of his family, doesn't mean that he wouldn't snuff her out in a moment. Wake up!
@@Vivianamarie01 your facts mean nothing to me, or I presume Ted Bundy. I'm only trying to educate you about what sociopaths feel...nothing. All you have to do is think about it. Or read some books in the field of sociopathology. I'm just trying to help no need to get nasty.
I am pretty sure he tried to abduct me as a young teen girl. I was delivering newspapers early o. Sunday morning when a man in a vw bug pulled up to me. I dropped my bike and hid. I went back and got my bike when I thought it was safe and again the VW showed up and he got out of his car. I ran to a door and pounded on it, waking up a homeowner who let me in.
I read the comments. Judging someone who makes money from a book about crimes seems judgy. You may have a point, but your anger seems to also come from other sources. She may have several motives for the book. But the fact is that she is a primary source and that is of importance to history, and maybe will contribute to crime prevention.
What I’d like to know from these women is what about Ted Bundy’s very early life, the fact that the unwed teenage Louise’s father was a Violent misogynist who may have been the man who impregnated her, that they were then forced to live the lie that his young mother was his older sister. Other young men in families like this, living this particular lie, grew up with tremendous stored up rage at women for lying to them. This happened in those days to families where strict religions were practiced and they lived this lie to protect the young mother and baby from the judgment of the family and the community. His mother made a big deal in her testimony in the penalty phase of his trial in Florida about their family being an all American churchgoing family with the emphasis on church. She made no mention of the fact noted by others that she may have been raped by her own father. No mention of this man, Ted’s grandfather who he lived with being an abusive sex obsessed man who collected true detective magazines with graphic pictures of women being abused. No mention was made about the time his mother/sister found a knife in her bed that then 3 year old Ted had put there. This family had secrets meant to protect the child and his mother but actually protected the perpetrator.
He did assign some of the blame of his actions to pornography. Maybe growing up looking at his grandfathers pornograhy was an element. And there was abuse in the household?
Edna said she felt strongly at this moment that he was the murderer. I wish she had gone to the police, they had already received several calls re Bundy but so many called they didn't take them seriously.
Awesome guests 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. I’m older now but Ted looked exactly like my boyfriend at the time. Charismatic and handsome. He had to be the star at every event (we finally broke up). Was Ted a narcissist?
All psychopaths are narcissists by nature. However, he was a sadistic psychopath, that's what made him so dangerous. There's millions of psychopaths functioning in the world and contributing to society, but a minority of those are sadistic. There the one's who commit crimes like this.
The buck knife that he used to kill the sorority girls at FSU was purchased at a sporting goods store in Jacksonville, Fla. I’m friends with the then-owner’s grandson. Within minutes of purchasing the hunting knife, Bundy attempted to pick-up a young girl outside the store who was at a bus stop. Fortunately, her boyfriend drove-up as he was talking to Ted. Words were exchanged and the boyfriend said he was going to call the cops. Ted he drove away and then got on I-10 West toward Tallahassee and the FSU campus less than 3 hrs away.
Wow, terrifying but also totally fascinating. Edna is so articulate & emotionally expressive. Thank you for this missing piece of the Ted Bundy story & that of his many victims.
Ted worked for the Washington State Republican State Finance Committee during the late Nixon years when Ford was his VP. I knew someone who took over his job as bookkeeper when Ted left for Utah. Was told that he was a "heck of a nice guy, someone we enjoyed getting a drink with after work, too bad you missed meeting him!" (Bundy was a lousy bookkeeper.)
Eight years ago at the age of 56 I was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder after a very traumatic event. People with DID have experienced complex repeated trauma in early childhood. Dissociation is a sophisticated coping mechanism where a person dissociates to escape physical, emotional and mental pain when being abused for example. I feel that the alters fall into categories of archetypes. For example there will be a victim, a protector, an abuser, etc. In my case I have a ‘Mother’, a Writer, etc. 19:46 While I had very unusual and at times hysterical symptoms it took a year to be diagnosed. I subsequently had weekly appointments for two years with my psychiatrist who was an international expert in Dissociative Disorders. Followed by four years of weekly then bi-monthly appointments with a psychologist who specialized in DID. During this period I was able to identify more than 20 alters also known as parts or aspects of myself. Some are related to trauma, some to functional roles and some with unique personalities. They range in age from 8 months to 80+. Most are female. When I am triggered I switch where one of my alters will front. Most times I am able to observe and feel what is happening without being able 19:46 to control the situation. There have been times where I have completely switched and have amnesia as to what has happened. Often when I switch I do not have memories of what I said or what happened. When I watched the Netflix documentary about Ted Bundy I immediately felt that he had undiagnosed DID. Which is not unusual as research only really began in the 90s and is still not fully accepted in the psychiatric community. It is extremely rare to find a psychiatrist who can diagnose it. As I watched the series I began to be able to see when Ted switched, for example, in court. This does not take away from the heinous murders he committed. It does however explain how a mentally ill person can be this violent. Just imagine how many murderers in prison may have DID. For more information you can consult the ISSTD.
Ted Bundy knew he was criminally insane. I agree with the judge. He’s probably the most “brilliant” of his kind, but he went the wrong way. I’m glad in the end he helped LE catch other Serial Killers. Great interview for educational information! 🙏 Prayers to all his victims, known and unknown, and their family, friends and communities.
She too was a victim of Ted..that whole association with him was victimizing. Knowing Ted while he was tearing other women clean out the frame..terrifying..
Ted was a disturbed young man and I doubt very much his mother didn't know something was "off" with him. I do believe her when she said she thought he was innocent tho, because he manipulated everyone so well...except Liz ..she caught on to him and if it wasn't for her calling the police about him, who knows if he would have been caught..
Why is the publicist being interviewed? Because she told her to write the book? It’s weird to me. And her speaking for the cousin..? This is soo weird. PS-Oh she’s an author! Edna said publicist.
Yes, someone, it may have been Ann Rule in her book The Stranger Beside Me concluded that it was his mother’s father an abusive man addicted to violent porn with whom Ted lived after his mother’s parents finally gave in to her pleadings to get her baby back from the home for “Wayword Girls”.
Not what I was referring to. The author can barely contain her glee while plugging her book about mayhem, as well as her vicarious connection to a “real life celebrity killer”. People behave more inappropriately now because so much is impersonal and anonymous over the internet. No consequences means anything goes.
@alexkrummenacher5050 I don't think she has "glee." I agree with the other commenters here that this is an excellent interview and I'm very glad to have been apprised of it. You seem very cynical.
What I'd like to know is what was TB's relationship with his mother? Who WAS his father and was TB into the occult? I believe TB blamed his crimes on reading/watching porn at a very young age. There had to be something else going on here.

My question is that Edna must have PTSD. How did she deal with it.

He did assign some of the blame of his actions to pornography. Maybe growing up looking at his grandfathers pornograhy was an element. And there was abuse in the household?
A key factor he shared with the UK child killer Ian Brady was that both were separated from their mothers early on..
I had never heard about him standing in the street yelling his name! Wow.
Edna said she felt strongly at this moment that he was the murderer. I wish she had gone to the police, they had already received several calls re Bundy but so many called they didn't take them seriously.
Rest in peace to all bundy victims ❤😢❤😢😢❤😢❤😢❤❤😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nate, you are the best!🎉
I would like to hear about the woman lives who were taken by Ted Bund.
Ted sounds like a swarmy self centered jerk. Putting on false fronts…. He’s so disgusting. I’ve done a lot of reading.
Like BTK, which was the real one or do they have a dual personality?
Welcome to the world of narcissistic psychopaths. Everything is an act with them.
Awesome guests 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. I’m older now but Ted looked exactly like my boyfriend at the time. Charismatic and handsome. He had to be the star at every event (we finally broke up). Was Ted a narcissist?
A sociopath
Yes. Malignant. Psychopaths ALWAYS are.... it's just not the same in reverse.
All psychopaths are narcissists by nature. However, he was a sadistic psychopath, that's what made him so dangerous. There's millions of psychopaths functioning in the world and contributing to society, but a minority of those are sadistic. There the one's who commit crimes like this.
Great show.
The buck knife that he used to kill the sorority girls at FSU was purchased at a sporting goods store in Jacksonville, Fla. I’m friends with the then-owner’s grandson. Within minutes of purchasing the hunting knife, Bundy attempted to pick-up a young girl outside the store who was at a bus stop. Fortunately, her boyfriend drove-up as he was talking to Ted. Words were exchanged and the boyfriend said he was going to call the cops. Ted he drove away and then got on I-10 West toward Tallahassee and the FSU campus less than 3 hrs away.
He was hunting the whole time, I totally believe this
I'm a harsh critic. This is a wonderfully conducted interview with serious content.
Wow, terrifying but also totally fascinating. Edna is so articulate & emotionally expressive. Thank you for this missing piece of the Ted Bundy story & that of his many victims.
Meagan is very articulate and kind to let so much of the time shine on Edna. They are both combined authors. Thank you Meagan!
I lived in eastern Idaho back then and was a 11 year old .. spooky to say the least
Ted worked for the Washington State Republican State Finance Committee during the late Nixon years when Ford was his VP. I knew someone who took over his job as bookkeeper when Ted left for Utah. Was told that he was a "heck of a nice guy, someone we enjoyed getting a drink with after work, too bad you missed meeting him!" (Bundy was a lousy bookkeeper.)
Conservative minded
Eight years ago at the age of 56 I was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder after a very traumatic event. People with DID have experienced complex repeated trauma in early childhood. Dissociation is a sophisticated coping mechanism where a person dissociates to escape physical, emotional and mental pain when being abused for example. I feel that the alters fall into categories of archetypes. For example there will be a victim, a protector, an abuser, etc. In my case I have a ‘Mother’, a Writer, etc. 19:46 While I had very unusual and at times hysterical symptoms it took a year to be diagnosed. I subsequently had weekly appointments for two years with my psychiatrist who was an international expert in Dissociative Disorders. Followed by four years of weekly then bi-monthly appointments with a psychologist who specialized in DID. During this period I was able to identify more than 20 alters also known as parts or aspects of myself. Some are related to trauma, some to functional roles and some with unique personalities. They range in age from 8 months to 80+. Most are female. When I am triggered I switch where one of my alters will front. Most times I am able to observe and feel what is happening without being able 19:46 to control the situation. There have been times where I have completely switched and have amnesia as to what has happened. Often when I switch I do not have memories of what I said or what happened. When I watched the Netflix documentary about Ted Bundy I immediately felt that he had undiagnosed DID. Which is not unusual as research only really began in the 90s and is still not fully accepted in the psychiatric community. It is extremely rare to find a psychiatrist who can diagnose it. As I watched the series I began to be able to see when Ted switched, for example, in court. This does not take away from the heinous murders he committed. It does however explain how a mentally ill person can be this violent. Just imagine how many murderers in prison may have DID. For more information you can consult the ISSTD.
((hugs))
Thank you for this interview! This was very interesting.
Your a great interview
Can't wait to read the book.
Ted Bundy knew he was criminally insane. I agree with the judge. He’s probably the most “brilliant” of his kind, but he went the wrong way. I’m glad in the end he helped LE catch other Serial Killers. Great interview for educational information! 🙏 Prayers to all his victims, known and unknown, and their family, friends and communities.
She too was a victim of Ted..that whole association with him was victimizing. Knowing Ted while he was tearing other women clean out the frame..terrifying..
Very interesting 👍🏼
Why the hell I'm enjoying this interview?
Did he ever find out who his father was..?
I've heard people speculate that it may have been incest...?
They should make a horror movie like Freddie vs Jason except it could be Bundy vs Dahlmer vs BTK vs Gacey lol
They had no idea? Teddy`s close set eyes should have been the first clue.
I just bought the audible off A before hearing the site name
Ted was a disturbed young man and I doubt very much his mother didn't know something was "off" with him.
I do believe her when she said she thought he was innocent tho, because he manipulated everyone so well...except Liz ..she caught on to him and if it wasn't for her calling the police about him, who knows if he would have been caught..
Why is the cousin smiling so much, that’s a bit creepy.
It’s a physiological stress relief response.
She seems very cheerful about having Ted Bundy as her cousin 😮
Ted Bundy, the gift that keeps on giving.
He asks, "why did you write a book" about two seconds after she said her daughter urged her to do it. What a stooge...
The usual reason. Money.
Where can we buy the book
Why she didn't report him when she suspected he was killing women!!!!!
Is this the same interview from over a week ago?
Wow just wow.
Smiling?
Yes, I noticed that too. Smirking by both women, very inappropriate
“Struggling with the unimaginable “? That’s what his victims had to do.
Wow very interesting thanks Nate!
Why did he choose Florida to go to if he knew it had stricter death penalty?
He apparently wanted to get as far away from those other states where he was a wanted man and it was a hotter and nicer climate down there.
I think he wanted to die….
@susanbeach9872 i doubt he wanted to die. I think he liked to play games and thought it would be more fun.
Serial killers also unconsciously want to die.
How do you know this?
Did she talk about her in the third person while she was part of the conversation?
Lecturing about what was her situation.
Invaluable!
He was born in Burlington, Vermont
He was actually born in Burlington, VT at the Lund Home. I worked there for a bit.
Old Edna is just grinning away talking about her serial killer cousin. Her claim to fame and now a way to make a buck. RIP victims.
Thankyou for truth telling! The channel owner seems to think it's all just fine, and wishes we would just shut up ❤
Everyone is still cashing in on this guy.
Nobody is getting rich off of Ted Bundy
@scottdaley1672 how come the publicist is in this interview then?
He was a demon prowling the earth for the ruin of souls.
He tortured and murdered and mutilated my friend when we were in high school. He was a sick monster. I won't be reading your book.
Thankyou, you've restored my faith in humanity. Most people on this thread are salivating over the prospect of reading this horrible stuff.
Why is the publicist being interviewed? Because she told her to write the book? It’s weird to me. And her speaking for the cousin..? This is soo weird. PS-Oh she’s an author! Edna said publicist.
Yes, you also are awake. Very few people spotted the strange set up of this interview. Also both women are smirking throughout...
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
??? Is it possible to find out through DNA who is father was? (I'm wondering why the secret, maybe it was a family member.)
I heard another relative say it was his grandfather, his mother’s father….😕
Yes, someone, it may have been Ann Rule in her book The Stranger Beside Me concluded that it was his mother’s father an abusive man addicted to violent porn with whom Ted lived after his mother’s parents finally gave in to her pleadings to get her baby back from the home for “Wayword Girls”.
All the smiling and nodding, especially at the beginning, seemed a bit too "cheery" given the subject.
@@alexkrummenacher5050 People from the Pacific Northwest often have Midwestern roots and they are very friendly.
Not what I was referring to. The author can barely contain her glee while plugging her book about mayhem, as well as her vicarious connection to a “real life celebrity killer”. People behave more inappropriately now because so much is impersonal and anonymous over the internet. No consequences means anything goes.
@alexkrummenacher5050 I don't think she has "glee." I agree with the other commenters here that this is an excellent interview and I'm very glad to have been apprised of it. You seem very cynical.
My god people are so stupid critical of shit that’s is super petty. Stfu!😂
@crilf5830 why is the publicist there at all? Red flags everywhere here. Gullible people will lap this up as they are meant to
Not sure why she’s smiling so much…
23:20
This is chilling, he’s acting normally, yet thinking murderous at the same time, just whoa
I wonder if Ted targeted Linda Ann via her connection to Ted’s cousin?🤔 No conscience.
Oh, yeah. He also had a couple of classes with Linda.
What I'd like to know is what was TB's relationship with his mother? Who WAS his father and was TB into the occult? I believe TB blamed his crimes on reading/watching porn at a very young age. There had to be something else going on here.
