- BUNDY IN COURT ANALYSIS! • Ted Bundy's Sinister B...
Theodore Robert Bundy was born on November 24, 1946. While he claimed he had an overall happy and average childhood, many describe Bundy as having a difficult childhood. He spent his early years with his maternal grandparents, who raised him as their son. Bundy was said to have thought his mother was his sister, according to a prison psychologist who once interviewed Bundy, in the documentary "The Ted Bundy Tapes." He apparently didn't find out who his birth mother was until later in life. Along with this, a forensic psychologist and FBI and law enforcement consultant stated that Bundy exhibited signs of conduct disorder as a child.
This was further amplified as a young Bundy began to avidly view violent pornography. He stated in his final interview that he felt the need to take in more extreme content to give himself the same feeling until he finally realized what he had to do to take it to the next level.
While his first attack occurred early in 1974, his first killing occurred on or around February 1st of 1974 from that point on through the year 1978, according to his own confession, he killed, kidnapped, and assaulted more than 30 women in seven states, while escaping from prison twice. After his final arrest in 1979, Bundy insisted on acting as his own attorney and even cross-examined witnesses during his trial. However, he was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to death via electric chair.
Over the next ten years, legalities would play out. Bundy even was married during his imprisonment and had a child. However, he was later divorced and was executed by electric chair at 7:06 a.m. on January 24, 1989, at Florida State Prison in Starke, Florida.

![Ed Kemper [The Co-Ed Killer] Chilling Body Language/Nonverbal Analysis](/img/n.gif)
What’s scary/crazy is that I think he was acting his entire life, up until the very end. I think the only people who ever really saw the true Ted Bundy were unfortunately those poor women in their last moments. May they Rest In Peace.
I heard ted did so much horrific sexually torture with these women. Oh my heart aches for the remaining family members still to this day.
On an a&e show about him and other serial killers, they said when he was a kid and teen he would torment girls and enjoy it
@@DGwildDog before killing psychopaths build up confidence so they do alot of pranking in a psychotic way. Jeffrey dahmer did it alot in school.
@@wandacole5784 Bundy seems more like a sociopath, the way he integrated himself into society and looked absolutely normal to everyone else, he was a master manipulator. Textbook sociopath.
Psychopaths can me extremely manipulative. Even more than sociopaths because sociopaths at least have some form of moral compass or empathy. Where as psychopaths don’t have any so they can fool people more and pretend where a sociopath will have little but some remorse
I don't think he's sorry for the victims, I think he's sorry he got caught and sorry that he ended up on death row. I don't think a man like him could've ever been capable of remorse for other people.
If he had he'd have felt bad/guilty/sorry for what he had done, and it probably wouldn't have led to that many victims. I'm just speaking from my sense of logic, so I might be wrong of course. It's scary to think of that these people exist out there to some extent.
It certainly would take a lot of therapy and focus on empathy. I don't think he was sorry for anyone either.
He was a true sadistic psychopath.
He didn't talk about the victims as people at all
I don’t know people like him are very very sick it’s disgusting
That quick stare he gave after he told the interviewer he couldn't talk about the little girl was pure evil, it was super creepy
Loved reliving his crimes. Loved fucking with peoples' heads.
I agree its genuine horror
27:55
he was hiding a smirk...it was giving him too much pleasure, so he had to stop the questioning...he wouldn't let his mask fall even at the end...the only death he could show any remorse for was his own
@Athena P Yes, it made me think he was wishing he could get out, AGAIN -- and kill more females!!
My friend’s mom’s coworker was picked up by Ted Bundy. She was pregnant and eating sunflower seeds, but apparently the way she was eating the seeds annoyed him and he told her to get out of the car. Can you imagine owing your life to sunflower seeds?! Like what the heck.
It' s kind of like how some people chew gum smacking it with their mouth open, it' s so annoying, how some ppl eat and chew in general annoys me.
Imagine annoying a serial killer so much that he just lets you go. It’s a strange but powerful flex.
LMAO WHAT?😂i don't know if this is true or not but it is absolutely killing me🤣🤣🤣
ALWAYS eat food annoyingly that is what I have gotten from this
@@Nola5427what are you trying to tell us?!
Bundy’s obsession with appearing ‘normal’ speaks volumes to me. He wanted to appear as normal and harmless as possible to everyone, especially those he could victimize even faking injuries to lure them in. He was in every sense of the word a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Umm yeah , that's already been well-documented
He was worse than a wolf. At least they mainly kill for survival, not simply for pleasure.
@@exitscreaming @Surrender Jones ....well all of it has; hasn't it?....that's why we are here, sharing thoughts and statements that have already been stated a million times by others......but thats ok right? That's why we watch
Yes, super intelligent man. Too bad he didn’t put it above his ego. Could have kept him from his end.
@@katiefair6959 everyone has something they are ashamed of. His problem was he wasn't ashamed, he just didn't want to have to stop.
I believe that someone soo self centered, who loves himself so much, is incapable of feeling sorry for anyone but himself.
Ted is the definition of heartless evil. He even told many law enforcement and mental professionals that with absolute no remorse.
There r two types of people that I feel cannot get better in life. Narcissists and child molesters/those attracted to anyone under 18.
definitely. He was diagnosed as a narcissist as well.
Which is probably why he was so passionate about being a real “normal” boy….
Dr. Stone created a scale of 'Evil' and wrote a whole book about it, highly intriguing. Would recommend if you are interested in this sort of thing.
At 19:39 he says “Yes absolutely” (that he feels remorse) but he is clearly shaking his head ‘No’. I do not believe he regrets a single moment of it. Also at 27:58 Bundy looks at the interviewer to check and see if the interviewer believes his lie. Any mention of Kimberly Leach was always a clear no-go subject for him to discuss as she was the youngest victim and showed how deep and dark his depravity truly was. The man was just evil
At that moment he has not to many emotions felt, except shame and calming the consience throught those speech with Dr. Dobson. You can't see through that Interview that He remorsed. But you can see that he is "remersing" from the guilty and shame, not from the love. I think that He was not a Person that had Anger, but He was very violent and sexual frustrated, and had remorse for Power because He was evil. But whether He remorsed or not, it stays between him and God. Many People were violent and they accepted their guilty and remorsed, and that can you see not too much from body fellings, but from really Personal change. Vikings were very violent and lazy, but then they became peaceful preachers of the Gospel of Sweeden.
I think also that there is no person who after those Crimes doest not Fell his Consience. But many People sind evil and they don't want to remorse.
People tend to shake their head 'no' more as an "I don't know" when they're thinking about what to say, so I wouldn't read into that too much. As far as the girl, my money is on the fact that he knew what happens to people who hurt kids when they go to prison, even on death row you don't want them finding out, it'll be a wayyy more painful death.
@@svetopismo4290 what? Lol wtf. What do you mean about the Vinings?
He was told by his lawyers to not talk about the Leach case, all of this body language drivel is plain crap.
That little glimpse he gives up at the interviewer felt like the real him. The real face of evil checking in to see if his facade has worked. It gave me a real cold feeling.
27:55 to the 28:00 mark. 5 seconds of pure and unfettered evil. I hope Bundy suffered the worst possible agony when old sparky electric chair struck him.
The interviewer, Dr. James Dobson, is a pretty big name in the evangelical community. I’ve always personally believed that Bundy’s constant reference to God throughout the interview is an attempt to garner sympathy from a devout man of God. It’s another attempt to manipulate his surroundings, the man was a gifted manipulator.
Exactly what I was thinking as well. If the interviewer had been an atheist it would have been a completely different interview.
Hannah has it. This was full manipulation of Dobson and an attempt to improve his image. I suspect some of this was even funny to Bundy.
I agree. If the interviewer was a Pastafarian, Ted would be the biggest believer in the flying spaghetti monster.
Typical sociopath mirroring
100%
I’ve always loved the name Theodore if I ever had a son. Now I’m marrying someone who’s last name is Bundy… I’m going to have to rethink baby names.
🧸. Like Ethan and Hila Klein have changed my perception of the name Ted or Theodore.
😂damn, that's unfortunate! Can't you just change your surname to smith?!
I’d be keeping my maiden name 😬
You might consider Al or Bud instead. 😂
Oof girl good luck lol
I can’t even imagine how he could be allowed to cross-examine witnesses. That’s absolutely mental!
Everybody has the right to represent themselves in court, even Bundy.
I mean how else would court even work. You or you and an attorney defend your case against the prosecution. That's how court works
@@oxxy6678 I think the point is that the court shouldn’t allow a proven serial killer to re-assault his victims on the stand. He shouldn’t have been allowed. Period.
@@ashleys1992xoxo The verdict wasn't out yet so legally he was still a "normal" civilian with legal rights under protected law. If allegations had been proven and Bundy was a known murderer beforehand, cross-examination wouldn't have been necessary - and neither would a case for that matter. I get what you're trying to say but that doesn't hold any legal merit, of course.
That glance at 27:57 was chilling. I read it as him checking if he fooled Dobson. You hear about "the look" that survivors of serial killers see when they're being attacked, and this has got to be it. Just pure cold calculation.
[i think when he was attacking that he didn't even have that calm of a facial expression or stare. I think he looked like a raging monster, crazed and mean as hell, and unrelenting in instilling fear and pain and disrespect]
I also saw that "glance" that he gave Dobson. His mask slipped just that one time.
He says it was like something came over him, like he was posessed, yet he planned his murders to the extent of wearing a cast so women wouldn't see him as a threat due to him having an "injury". That shit takes some forethought.
Yes, this abusive addiction would be a major factor. Alcoholics/addicts do manyyyyy things they know are morally wrong, feel the regret, yet still seek it again.
I know dahmer used alcohol to numb his moral conscience. I’m not sure about bundy…
Exactly
You may not believe in demons and or demonic possession. But i believe he was demon-possessed. However, it (demon possession ) doesn't manifest like so many people think. YOu aren't possessed 24/7. However the same demons that would possess him to kill would also entice, encourage them to think, rehearse and even plan out doing something that would destroy your life. And as Ted himself admitted, it didn't start there. It started with viewing violent pornography. So if someone is reading that, then its flooding your head with vain imaginations (forethought) that are leading to planning out murders of your own.
Watching psychopaths like Bundy is a complete waste of your time, bc they’re pathological liars and self aggrandizers....PERIOD. Jeffrey Dahmer was the exception to this, bc he never tried to win anybody over, or tried to make anyone like him. But Bundy was a lethal predator, and if you believe any of his airy-fairy stories, I would surely love to sell you some non-existent real estate!!
@@PersisP I have no idea why you think you were in Bundy’s heads and understand what he was thinking, but *it’s time for you to stop playing “psychologist,” bc you could not be more wrong!* In fact, I literally did laugh out loud when I heard your “diagnosis”!! It was a COMPULSION, which is NOT an addiction! Bundy was a psychopath and a sexual sadist, the END, full STOP. It always amuses me to read comments by people who profess to “understand” what’s wrong with certain psychopaths without singling out a single behavior associated with psychopathology! And YES, I am a psychologist, who has been reading about Bundy and watching his interview and court videos for about 30 years! A psychopath who is a serial killer (with or without sexual sadism...Bundy was a sexual sadist) is all about CONTROL....being in control of his compulsions, and being in control of YOU when he’s getting ready to kill or rape you. They do not see people as human beings, but as objects to exert their power and control over....when they’re done, so are the objects! They finish whatever rituals they are compelled to do and only remember what gives them pleasure, which is why they take belongings or photos or videos of their victims, which are called “trophies.” So, I hope you learned something!
Bundy actually scored a 39/40 on the Psychopathy Checklist developed by Dr. Robert Hare. In order to be considered a psychopath, you have to score 30 (in the US, 25 in the United Kingdom), so he more than qualifies scientifically as a psychopath.
For context, I graduated with a Criminal Justice and Psych degree and one of the things I studied was Psychopathy and did a whole project on Bundy.
I did my abnormal psychology case study on Bundy
Pretty obvious really since he was a serial killer.
@@r4h4al You can be a serial killer without being a psychopath. For instance, you could be a sociopath.
@@bobbiedaniel9347 True. I meant pretty obvious really since he was a serial killer and the way he killed and the amount of violence he used.
@@r4h4al not all psychopaths are criminals lmao
It’s so interesting that when faced with his own death, he seemed concerned. He could not or would not connect the fact that he ended others lives. If you can worry about yourself dying but not clearly say that you regret taking others life, then you definitely don’t show empathy towards others.
He totally brushed pass the questions about how the victims families must felt with the absolution of their deaths.
If you’ve ever had a paper cut and saw a co worker get one, you would 100 percent be able to say how they feel. If he ever once thought of his own mortality before killing, he absolutely would have known the permanence of his actions.
He said he doesn’t wanna die in that interview
But like did he think those all women wanted to die who he killed? Like this duuuude.
He barely seems concerned about even his own death. Maybe to 1/100 the degree of a normal person who is literally about to die. They would be freaking out. I think your wrong. I just think he doesnt feel much at all.
serial killer have no empathy. they are clueless about the feelings of others.
@@Crimson19977 Of course not. It just wasn't important to him. He had an urge to satisfy.
Narcissism in the most evil and purest form
He was telling the guy exactly what he thought he wanted to hear. He knows that killing a twelve-year-old is particularly heinous, so he "couldn't talk about it," because he knows he can't summon the "correct" emotions. And there was that tell when he peeked up at the guy to see if he'd hit home with his act. The only genuine emotions he felt were for himself. I saw the rest of this interview, and he literally has to squeeze his eyes shut to try to bring on tears - just as he was doing when he talked about the twelve-year-old. In spite of his efforts to squeeze one out, I don't think he shed a tear during the entire interview. He tries to come across as genuine, but I don't believe there was one genuine emotion in his body. He spent his life trying to act the part of an emotional human being, but he failed. Dude was a psychopath.
And the electric chair fixed all of his problems,permanently..
My cousin is a non murdering sociopath, as far as I know, and you have a good understanding of the phenomenon. Dead spirits.
Your just trying to distance yourself from your own narcisistic psychopathy. I would bet if all your anthropogenic acts over your life span, it would be less than $5.
I agree with you. But that's where he was a genius of sort--he could fake it and fool anybody. He was on his way to become a politician. This guy met many people in his life in social occassions and managed to fool anybody, even Ann Rule, the renown true-crime writer, who he had become a friend of.
I don't believe one word. He was a master manipulator who specialized in seeming disarming and genuine.
He looked like he was acting (and not very well) during that whole part where he was trying to act all somber and sad. That part where he was saying he was so "horrified" by what happened looked so fake.
These types are like that for sure. I’ve had the displeasure of dealing with quite of few people like him in my lifetime so far and you are so right to not believe him. These people are well-practiced and well-versed. They know exactly what they are doing and it’s pretty disturbing seeing how many people they are able to fool.
If you don't believe it, why even watch the video? You made up your mind before you saw it.
Not saying he's remorseful, but it's good to come into these things with an open mind.
@@cameronl1859 an open mind? Are you for real?
Do you know anything at all about this guy? Serial killers dont just wake up one day, find Jesus and become decent humans. Theyre broken. Forever.
What a weird, naive comment.
@@moeh3224 Well, to start with, I never said he became a decent human being...where did that come from? I'm just saying you watched a video titled "Was Ted Bundy Sorry?" then left a comment saying you wouldn't have believed he was sorry no matter what he said or did. What was the point in even watching if your mind is made up?
Also, there are multiple types of serial killers. Bundy was a lust murderer, meaning he got off on causing death and manipulating the dead bodies. Other types, especially visionary and comfort killers, often DO show regret and shame afterward and sometimes even turn themselves in.
His first known murder was the cousin of a friend of mine. The victim had a great life, was a gifted person who had a lot to give the world and live for. She didn't deserve to have Ted Bundy cross her path. None of the victims deserved that and let's remember them.
Of course. I hope everyone watching knows that Teds victims were decent ppl that didnt deserve that hand they got dealt.
And I believe Logan treated everything with respect and class.
I can understand knowing someone who was kin to one of his victims puts a personal spin on it for you, and I know that's where the emotions are coming from, but I feel your overly defensive, and the condemnation just wasnt warranted. Itd be different if logan had been disrespectful, but he was very respectful.
Ill pray for your friend.
Q on v
Very well said.
@@thinlineofsanity1035 Not one thing he said was condemning Logan in any way, and the self-righteousness is palpable in your comment.
I feel so bad for the families that Ted has affected! A good majority of the women haven't been recovered & that would be super hard to find closure!
Awesome analysis. Loved it. I'm reminded of Ted's great prison escape...both his escapes actually. During the first escape, Ted observed an unattended window, identified an opportunity, and practiced jumping off his cell bunker to brace his legs for the impact. The second escape, he starved down, lost a few pounds and hacked his way thru the ceiling.
The man is an OPPORTUNIST. Even in this interview, he is looking for opportunities to sound remorseful, to sound sorry, and sound sad, but the truth is....in the "ODDITIES", as you explain it. His eyes constantly darting over to Dobson, checking for response, checking if he is emoting correctly. This whole thing is Ted desperately trying to get out of the electric chair. The man was fully in control during every murder, every escape, and of course, even during this interview.
Right? He was definitely a master manipulator and i wouldn't have wanted to be Dr. Dobson in that room with him ...
I saw this whole interview. He almost said, "Those bitches" but instead he said, "Those ladies" Also, he rolled his eyes up, and sideways, thinking, "I hope he buys my bs"
@@justiceforall007 oh no, are you kdding? I'd give anything to be in dobson's shoes here... you can learn a lot about how terrifying the human mind can be, by studying this prick.
I’m shocked that while in prison he got married and fathered a child. Imagine growing up and finding out your father was Ted Bundy!
Luckily she wasn’t in his life for long. I heard from an interview with Ann Rule (the writer who knew Bundy and wrote “The Stranger Beside Me” says that she is a normal and good person.
It's sickening, you shouldn' t be allowed any of that you are in prision for a reason, the victim certainly doesn' t get too live a life.
He makes it a point to say he wasn't a pervert, as though _that's_ what would upset people about him. He's doing some crazy mental gymnastics.
I think it's crazier that he said he's not the kind of pervert where you'd notice. Meaning yes, he is. You just couldn't tell
@@allieholst9313 exactly, and he’s bragging about it. Humanity is better off! (Forensic psychology has always been credibly interesting to me; if we could learn to spot more people like him before they kill for the first time, we could help so many)
@@stephanierauba4887 His long time girlfriend’s daughter said once when they were playing hide and seek she found him under some sheets and he was naked. When she asked why he told her he was hiding, trying to turn invisible so he took his clothes off so she couldn’t see him. She thought it was strange but she was too young to tell her mom that something bad just happened with her mom’s bf. IMO, a call to the police after that incident might have put them on his trail earlier and perhaps some victims would be alive today.
no i think he’s trying to convince himself that he’s not a perv
@@nottellingyou14 damn i didn’t know that…nvm i take my last comment back 😂 he’s proud to be a perv
Seeing this after the Dahmer interview to me, was a HUGE contrast. Dahmer, in his interview was THERE. He was present, accountable, connected and in his own way, absolutely honest.
Bundy, however, feels completely disassociated from all aspects of honest accountability. He feels like a snake always looking for the angle to gain the advantage and the sympathy. Dahmer, for all the evil he did, still feels like he had a better connection to at least the idea of his own humanity. Fascinating.
That’s the difference between a Gemini and a Sagittarius for sure
I could believe he might be horrified after doing it the first few times like he said like post nut clarity of sorts but the way he talks is like he doesn't really care after thinking about it for a while he seems to justify it to himself and once he has he can kill again without remorse till after its done again. Dahmer seemed pained that he was like that and glad he was caught because he couldnt stop himself and hated he was like that I got a sense of remorse from him but as he himself said he was still a bad person while he was commiting those crimes and deserved what he got. I believe Dahmer might have been able to help his impulses with medication and therapy because he hated that he was like that while Bundy seems to be passing the blame to his other self and being resigned to well there was nothing I could do about it
@@kylamason3418 Hahahaha!
cognitively, it's probably a difference between their IQ primarily (dahmer being much higher on the scale), and furthermore, Te (dahmer) vs Ti (bundy) / extroverted and introverted thinking. bundy is throwing fancy words around, but there's 0 substance to them, he is saying nothing. while dahmer is simple but straight to the point. moreover, dahmer seems like a person that ONCE had a "soul", but lost it along the way, while bundy seems like a complete, pure psychopath those whole life, even to its last hours, is an undefinable, fluctuating, malicious "act" for anything and anyone surrounding that pile of emptiness. so in a way, bundy has nothing to connect to on the inside, literally nothing.
@@ThePitchblue astute observation on the introvert vs extrovert factor as well as IQ. Dahmer definitely communicates at a higher level while Bundy talks in circles and never says much. I am still madly curious to know what illness Dahmer suffered from in childhood and what contributing factor it could have held in developing his serial killer personality. Bundy has the feel of a base primal psychopath for sure.
This man was a very accomplished actor and knew just how to use facial expressions to ingratiate himself to others. Those occasional side or up-glances revealed the real coldness of the man. What I noticed before, when watching the full final interview, was his apparent ability to shed tears. I know it is possible to do this without feeling actual emotion, and is a sign of a very good acting talent. In one interview with a woman he appeared shy and smiling bashfully at her, yet also showing those momentary sinister up-glances.
The thing about Bundy that has always been the most disturbing to me is that he was incredibly self aware and completely delusional, in equal measure, at the exact same time.
I remember watching Ted’s trial in 1979, as a 17 yr old, and the morning of his execution as a 27 yr old.
Just a bit of trivia- the Ted Bundy Florida trials not only helped to create CourtTV, but Reality TV as well
Wow he lived too long ….
@@jadewilliams5660 they probably kept him alive to try and get as much info about missing girls
Wow, I was born in '88, so...
I think that's cool!
Wow that's really interesting. Do you think he felt remorse here?
@@kendrapayne7598 honestly i do but it doesn’t count when it’s been so long until the remorse came he taunted and played a sick game with the peoples family and the court system I’m sure he does feel remorse the night before his execution
"I'm the most cold hearted son of a beach you'll ever meet" that's his own words. It was all an act for sure. Great video.
But around men he's not so cold hearted instead a punk ass coward.
Absolutely.
@@wandacole5784 yup. That’s why that fool had to STAY in PC like the coward he was.
@@DaughtersofOrion what's PC?
@@wandacole5784 most likely means
Protective custody.
My theory is that he was always deeply ashamed of his crimes (but not remorseful) and the fact that something so insane is a part of him and that is the reason why he never wanted to admit his crimes in the first place, even if it meant getting a death penalty. He was absolutely obsessed with maintaining this normal person image that he successfully had going for a long time. Even in this interview his main focus was making sure that everyone understands how “normal” he was outside of those “rare” moments when he would flip into the serial killer mode and allegedly had no control of himself and his actions… Shame is one of the emotions that many sociopaths and psychopaths can feel since it does not have to be based on empathy. It perfectly aligns with the notion that people like him mostly regret being caught instead of regretting the crime itself.
Yes, yes ... I think you are correct about the shame! Ah ha!
Good point
I am not English and I can't express my thoughts in English correctly, but your comment gave me a lot of insight about Bandy s psychology
He liked to fight legal battles he wanted the narcissistic belief that he could do whatever he wanted in court to get away with it on his own recognizance
@@nelaf.3255 Yes, I too think you made a very good point !!
The fact that he was always smirking & laughing is proof he has no remorse. If it was merely an addiction, he would seem more serious, afraid especially in his younger interviews.
It is all acting. He thought he would live because he could give more victims names. Then he thought he’d get this doctor on his side with the porn aspect. The doctor was a well known anti porn advocate. The doctor was also religious.
Oh wow, the look he flashes at 28:35 is truly chilling... The mask slips for just a second, but it's enough to reveal his true lack of remorse.
Ikr mannnn the dude was just a living nightmare
he actually looks terrifying right there. that’s what those women saw, that is just horrifying
That brought up Logan talking for me, what look is it?
@@karaweber4913 ted just tortured and brutalized the women so much.🥺
Yes it was..I didn’t notice it at normal speed, but when he played it back solo-mo, it made my hair stand on end, wow.
The fact that he can’t even take someone interrupting him and gets so agitated by it (to this degree-> you can see a lot of hate in his eyes) His ego is fragile and he is so focused on power relations in every minor part of his life. I always try to stay away from “charismatic” people that are focused on power. It’s either just incredibly annoying and exhausting to always feel like you’re playing a game and can’t have an honest conversation or actually dangerous when something you say or the way you act towards them doesn’t fit together with their grandios self image or the image they want to portray.
You’ve never gotten irritated when someone interrupted you? What if you had less than 24 hours to live, and this was your last real conversation, and your last chance to tell your story?
@@Bella_Love_123 that and you’re in the middle of trying to convey your thoughts on the very average and mundane and not emotionally charged at all topic of MURDERS you’ve committed lol
NPD
@@Kiara28735 Are you a clinician with the training and authority to diagnose people? And I guess you were Ted Bundy’s doctor as well? No psychiatrist/psychologist worth their salt would ever diagnose someone they’ve never met. This is satire, I know you’re not a doctor. My point is that there’s a real danger in labelling people this frivolously, especially when you tie the diagnosis to people the majority of the world thinks is “evil.”
Ted Bundy could have been a narcissist, among other things. But you don’t know that, and if there’s going to be discourse around NPD, it should be rooted in scientifically sound studies (including psychological case studies).
It’s my personal opinion that NPD is one of the most dangerous pathologies a person can have. And I don’t think it’s treatable. That said, I could be wrong, and it’s possible that there could be people missing out on treatment because people are stigmatizing the disorder. The truth is science doesn’t know yet. So until we know, maybe we should be careful about how we contribute to the world’s view of it.

My mother met him at the jail in El Paso county, Co. She worked there. Never one to be Un-nerved by anyone-he managed to do so . I went to school with the prosecuting Atty’s son .
Bundy single handedly ended hitch hiking in the state for college kids .
Evil incarnate.
It’s creepy to read a book and know some of the people in it .
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂Creepy??" Huh? We are both here "listening" to this recipe of "lust" Right? Or Right!!! ....
I remember watching this interview, the evening before he was executed. I recall that, when he looked up toward the left of the screen, some others had commented that he had heard something, (like a phone ringing), in the background, and they thought that he was hoping that another stay of execution had come through. I believe that they still hadn't found all the bodies, and he was trying to strike a deal; he would lead them to more bodies, if they granted him another stay. He was just too dangerous.
He was giving interviews to detectives toward the end of his life to help them clear up some cold cases that he was responsible for. He was using it to barter for time, and finally they just decided that he just needed to be done away with, they weren't interested in letting him live months or years more dribbling out information a drop at a time.
@@shonii119 Perfectly stated. 👍👍👍👍. Four thumbs up and a like from me. Ted Bundy was lower than the excrement of a dog. His death was just akin to stinky fecal matter being scooped from the sidewalk and tossed into a dumpster.
That's exactly what I thought. He was thinking it might be a stay.
He actually sabotaged his chances of a plea deal for life w/out parole multiple times, going all the way back to the Colorado trial at least.
I never realized how close the interviewer was sitting. I can't imagine how he's feeling being in such close proximity to someone like Ted Bundy.
Older dude, it's not like the dude was bundy's type so not much to worry about really.
I don't even think I would want to know. Might have something to do with me being female tbh...
I would be terrified.
The interviewer being an elderly, powerful white male wasn’t Bundy’s victim type.
@@zeuna yeah same. I look like many of his victims with really long straight hair. Similar age. So I’d feel like prey in front of a predator.
He was so freaking nuts. He seems like he knew that his actions were unacceptable and doesn't want people to see him that way but he didn't believe it was unacceptable. To say that he was completely normal except for this 'very small but potent' part of his life he kept secret...nah bro, none of us think you were ever 'normal'.
He wasn't crazy at all. He does know it's wrong but doesn't care and a crazy person wouldn't understand that. A psycho knows right from wrong they just don't feel any guilt or emotion.
@@dontdiscriminatehateeveryo9263 So true, no real remorse, just regret that he got caught or disappointment that society won’t let him behave the way he wants. He pre planned, carried props in his car like crutches.
Good point he doesn't know what normal is
He knew that nobody would find his actions acceptable, probably knew it wasn't acceptable just didnt care.
For the time an day he would of been seen as normal. Its easy to sit with your leisure condemnation now and say what appears normal for a time you probably were not even alive for.
The excitement he feels when his youngest victim is brought up is disgusting. You can see him actively covering his mouth so he doesn’t smile. A genuinely evil human being
Looking at his photos alone, there’s just nothing behind the eyes. I know with hindsight I can say this, but it just sends shivers down my spine. They’re just dark and void, with his smile, he is a predator. People were prey to him and he didn’t care about anything. (This is just my opinion)
I definitely feel like Bundy, like many killers/criminals of his caliber, wasn't sorry for committing the crimes, he was only sorry he got caught and had to pay the price. Can't help but notice when the guy asks "Do you deserve this punishment" he doesn't really answer more than to say "Well I don't wanna die" I think he certainly knew he was wrong in the eyes of the law and moral humanity, but never cared.
@@exitscreaming Not all serial killers are killing because they want to. People with mental illnesses are very rarely violent, but there are cases where serial killers can feel remorse, sometimes to extreme levels where they turn themselves in, or even commit su*cide.

ok my final thoughts are: ted bundy was 100% a psychology student. he loved it. i also feel like context is important and knowing the entire store is important here. this is a man who worked at a police department, noticed that there was no communication between any of them and exploited that to murder women over a larger geographical area because he understood he was less likely to be caught if one or two women were murdered in various places because the police departments wouldn't consult each other about them. i do not believe it's an impulse disorder at all. this man escaped police custody more than one time. his eyes are flashing around because he's looking for opportunities to either exploit his environment or those in it. a man like this does not let his guard down and i would lay every cent i ever owned on betting that if he thought he could, he would have escaped again.
i am a survivor of domestic abuse and as such i feel like my instincts are excellent when it comes to picking up on signals of danger and ted bundy radiates them. the way he talks, the way he thinks, the facial expressions he makes, the eyes always staring at you, the even breathing, the cool attitude. like i have a hard time ever believing anyone couldn't think he was a freak because he just seems phony and fake.
He didn't work at a police department, he worked at Seattle's Suicide Hotline Crisis Center.
You are seeing this through hindsight.
You already know he is serial killer and necrophiliac.
Sorry but your take here is extremely biased and I believe your wrong.
Plus, you contradicted yourself.
He's good enough to escape twice (because the guards felt like he wasn't a threat) but you later say you don't see how anyone wouldn't see him as a freak.
Well which one is it then?
Same. Being raised in a very abus×ve home where we were always on egg shells has given me the gift to spot signs others miss.
Ted was known for being charming, charismatic, etc. Hed get women to willingly get in his car. He had a lot of pride in that. And i can definitely see why so many women fell for his bullsh×t, but for me there's always been something underneath it all that screams at my gut to RUN from him.
No matter his smile, or what he says the sinister still reeks from him. Women seriously need to learn to tune into their intuition, and trust it. Its always saved me at the end of the day.
By "phony and fake," I think you meant "Career Politician," which he aspired to be no more than 3-4yr prior to his first kidnapping/murder.
@@kopykat6843 because security guards often feel superior the the prisoners, I think that's what they meant.
Bundy completely played James Dobson. He said exactly what he knew the audience wanted to hear. It's one last stab at power and being important.
My partner went to Ethiopia once, and told me over there they always depict eyes in art work as being fully visible, because if you can't see someone's eyes properly especially if they're deliberately doing it, then they're being dishonest or hiding something. Keep in mind one person told me this, but it makes sense and I couldn't help but notice it.
And yes, that look in his eyes after mentioning the girl is so dark and sinister, it really stands out...
What bothers me about Bundy is how everyone thought he was a genius. He was careless. He used the same MO for every murder and left crap in his car as evidence. He was just handsome and charming and a good public speaker. He was the most dangerous kind of smart -- just smart enough to convince others that he's smarter than he really is. It was the time period and lack of states working together on crimes that let him get away with it for so long.
I disagree. He is insanely intelligent in every way. His ego took over. That was his only downfall. To manipulate the way he does down to the detail, he is insanely intelligent and it’s impressive.
@@katiefair6959 I don't think his manipulation is that detailed, though. If you watch his court appearances, it's just rhetoric. Like I said before, he's just smart enough to convince others that he's smart. I don't think you really need to be very smart to manipulate people. You just have to be smooth in your delivery -- which Bundy is.
@@simgingergirl I disagree. To effectively carry out deception as strong as that, to get someone in a situation where you are able to kill them, and get away with it. To carry on with life, for everyone to say “I would have never guessed that he would have done that”, to kill someone and go into town the next day like nothing happened, that is incredible mental strength and manipulation in the best way. People who say he isn’t smart, I think, are trying to cope with what he did and want to have something to make him feel less significant in their mind. Simple fact: to kill that many people and get away with it so long, to con so many people in the way he did, he is for a fact, an intelligent man🤷🏼♀️
@@katiefair6959 I don’t think he was a genius, just above average, and his deception wasn’t top notch. He got away with it for many reasons, not because he was a genius.
I have studied Bundy a great deal and whole heartedly agree. I believe it is well documented that he was of slightly above average intelligence but not a genius by any stretch. On paper his grades were very poor in college, he bombed his LSATS and only got into Utah bc of letters of recommendation (from people he successfully fooled, many of whom were actually well educated and successful) I think “just smart enough to convince people that he’s smarter than he is” is a perfect summary for who he was as a criminal. Just like he wasn’t particularly good looking- just good looking enough (IE a white male that could clean up and give good face when needed. Not hard in the 70’s)
Interesting note (I'm a student of psych):
Usually we find patterns of non-verbal 'leaks'/ desyncs/ misalignment but the appropriate/ expected verbage.
With T.B., I noticed the reverse. I felt that he emoted very very well and almost as expected, with only a few oddities here & there. Instead, it was his verbage which was interesting.
Do you feel remorse? Goes on to talk about how others feel and God, and then vaguely refers to remorse.
Did you find solace in God at your final hour? You'd expect him to have almost 'surrendered'/ sense of defeat, and accept the repercussions of his actions, instead he rationalizes as death being an inevitable end to everyone.
What did you feel during/after the murders? He describes the event/ circumstances in detail but glosses over his emotions.
As someone with ASPD, he would be good at acting with the expected emotions as a form of manipulation, good at compartmentalizing, and analyzing. But he is not able to describe any of the emotions well or understand the depth of those emotions or truly empathize. That's very interesting.
Of course, I may be wrong. But it is what I noticed and what I understand about ASPD.
thats a really interesting aspect, thank you!
@reffer0877 Anti-social personality disorder. Psychopathy & sociopathy are both under this diagnosis and are considered a spectrum.
Yes I noticed that too. He was almost waffling, didn't answer the questions clearly, avoiding clear answers.
I think it is possible that there's at times feelings of guilt or remorse but they don't really stand a chance and are quickly crushed by his overwhelming self-centeredness.
It's quite curious, he can't relate to others on an emotional level but he desperately wants to present himself as relatable.
Thank you for sharing this 🙏
I agree!!
Master's degree addiction psychology student: addiction is definitely related to impulsive control. He couldn't control himself. Tolerance builds up and you have to go harder each time you relapse. It's very interesting to think about counseling a man like Bundy. Impulse control, cognitive behavioral therapy, and risk assessments would be integral for his "treatment plan" (if he wasn't put to death and actually wanted to change his thought patterns)
Growing up here in Florida, we were all too aware of Ted on many levels. I unfortunately know the sibling of one of his FSU victims. I also graduated from FSU and it was still somewhat present in lore even in the 90s. I have no heart for this manipulator.
The head down, eyes looking up to the side- that's called "poor little old me".
Princess diana did something very similar all the time. Hers was not scary, but manipulative either way
@@malissaadams283 I just watched the princess Diana video and thought the exact thing.
Don't believe anything any murderer says
My thoughts as well.
Ted Bundy was a phenomenal manipulator. I’ve never seen a bad person “seem” so disarming, genuine, well intentioned & almost fatherly. This monster didn’t just act, he put on the persona of a normal person, almost like a method actor. He didn’t just act, he became what he wanted to look like. Absolutely horrifying.
Absolutely spot on. This is not a human entity. It is a shape shifter. There are not many of them but when they come into contact with us it’s absolutely crucial to follow your instincts. Most women should have sensed the disaster that is baked into his eyes, but most want to give the benefit of the doubt. That’s how these type of nihilists take advantage of humanity and love. They parasite on it to destroy it and turn it into horror and degradation.
This is why he killed so many people.
He was a true psychopath who was obsessed with controlling others. He looks and acts like so many. I wonder if we could have known? Intriguing. I think my gut would have red flags because I met someone who I found the scariest person I met and he was a young good looking 18 year old at the hospital with a sick family member.
@@CuteFluff8 Discernment is a very powerful God-given thing. We just never know who we run into. I was approached by a very very nice guy at the mall once. He had on a holiday sweater, and he was just so so nice to me. But his eyes told me a different story. They were dead, cold, subtle and scary. He sounded very gay right off the bat, but he asked for my number. I told him no. I’ve found out a while later that he was a scout for human trafficking. My Spidey senses served me well.
@@cece8095 Holy heck! Glad you didn’t ignore your gut!
What's scary is that if you didn't know who he was, he seems like a nice guy which is why he got away with so many brutal killings. He was truly a monster and there are more like him.
UA-cam brought you to me, and I am here for the first time (2/25/22). I watched your video, liked and subscribed. After I watched you, I read all of the comments, which are just as fascinating as the video itself. I have studied serial killers for years, and I am impressed by the quality of the comments. I like how you stopped and broke down each movement. You have showed me things I did not know, and I appreciate that.
What I noticed:
Any time he was interrupted, it seems like he became agitated, and his mannerisms sped up to take back control, and his gestures seem more firm.
He appeared angry when Kimberly was brought up. Like he didn't want to talk about what he knew would affect his image.
Those moments he has sped up movements, or incongruity, I think that is his true self. When he drank the water, it's like he switched personas, and turned his act back on when he put the cup down.
He talks about compulsion, but he planned things out ahead of time, and would revisit some of the victims after he killed them.
I think it's all an act, and he has absolutely no remorse. He is only sorry he got caught, his reputation turned sour, and that he was going to be executed. He was very concerned with his image and very egotistical. That chilling glimpse of him, where his eyes darkened, that is him. A predator in every sense of the word.
Wow you're right about his reactions to being interrupted. I hadn't noticed before! He gets really pissed and squishes his eyes shut to calm himself down and and then has to try to chill and finish his sentence so no one sees he's lost his cool
I think most people would act like that when interrupted. Like getting louder or they're mannerism speeding up or whatever.
Preditor not unlike a shark. Zero feelings. Driven & wired to kill.
Right, they can't handle shame... it's like a silver cross to a vampire. I noticed that too, it really got to him. One guy who analyzes these monsters had a great term for them, organisms. They're not total human beings.
@@cherubicnerd It wasn't a doctor but he nailed it.

Chilling.

@@shannongreer6194 28:35
he's dead don't sweat it.
A very significant thing you missed is that the lights dimmed occasionally because the prison was testing the electric chair and Bundy knew it.
Oh, I so love that he knew it. Suck it up mofo.
Ted Bundy is a prime example of someone with no emotions. Maybe he felt enjoyment from what he did, but never guilt or remorse.
He absolutely felt enjoyment he couldn’t get enough , he broke out of jail and within a week he killed those poor college girls that just shows how nuts he was and how much he enjoyed it and how important it was to him , most folks running from the law I think would want to stay as elusive as possible, he was completely crazy and he’d done it again I’m willing to bet if he’d escaped again
Ted Bundy was only concerned for himself, he had an enormous ego, he doesn´t feel guilt whatsoever...
Isn't that already well-known ?
@@exitscreaming there's the youtube comment section for you. a bunch of people pointing out completely obvious stuff believing it to be something profound.
Ted Bundy said of himself that he's the coldest SOB you'll ever meet. I know this is a "final interview" but let's not fool ourselves. Bundy has no remorse, no empathy. These questions are ridiculous to me if you know the nature of the beast. You won't find sadness or regret. He's not capable of it. He enjoyed what he did to those women. This is just a PR game for him in his final hours.
He was a master manipulater giving his final performance and he wanted it to be perfect.
He also told his attorney he had murdered over 100 people, men and women. There's also suspicion on him at the age of 14 for the murder of another kid the same age. He told his attorney that he was like him, which disturbed John so he asked why he said that. Ted answered, "well I might have become like you, a successful attorney and more, if that dark part of him did not take over and win out over his life. Interesting. He seems to have moments of clarity, and even sometimes a sincere feeling of confusion, frustration and regret over his own mental condition.
I think there is a major element to Bundy’s psychopathy and hatred of women was finding out that his sister was really his mother…then his mother took him and moved away from his grandparents who he always thought were his parents,his mother marrying and having children with her new husband. A lot of wounding at critical phases of development!
There's many more who suffer even worse lifestyles growing that turn into run-of-the-mill, contributing members of society, and those who become phenomenal human beings and more.
Pigfilth like Bundy are just evil sludge at the bottom of the barrel. Hopefully, Bundy was conscious enough during his execution to experience horrifying agony before he died. 27:55 to the 28:00 mark is just pure evil spawned from a darkness that Human Mortality can't fathom; PURE EVIL.
Also his grandfather was very physically and verbally abusive, so that didn’t help.
Still no excuse but it could help explain it.
Bundy is a great example of using religion as a tool for others and not really for one's self. I imagine that it was a "couldnt hurt" scenario.
I think it was opportunistic on the part of the pastor(or whatever he is).
The pastor is just using his Ted interview to help his crusade against pornography.

I think he liked torturing his victim's families with the idea that, if the Bible is true, their loved ones will have to spend ETERNITY with him in heaven.
I want to start this with saying I only have an associate's degree in psychology. I don't have a doctorate and still have a lot to learn. However, I read that moment about the 12 year old completely different than you did. I read it as he was getting excited and trying to hide it. It seemed like he gave the quickest smile when Dr. Dobson said her name. He hid it behind his hand and quickly changed his expression. Plus, he did that deep breath. To me it sounded lustful. I do believe he got off with these murders. Then, later when his eyes flashed up to Dr. Dobson, he was trying to see if he had fooled Dobson. From the way I was reading him, he refusal to talk about any of these murders (including the 12 year old) was because he wasn't sure how to talk about it and sound like a normal person with normal feelings. But like I said, I only have an associate's degree in psychology and don't have a lot of experience of reading the body language of psychopaths so I could be entirely off base.
I totally agree with you. If you watch the full interview, there is a moment when the doctor asks a specific question about the murders (I don't remember what it is), but Bundy closes his eyes and for a second the whole expression on his face changes. And for me it was very clear that he was reliving that moment with satisfaction or pleasure. It gave me chills. And then he goes back to "normal" and starts all over again with all this crappy speech to fool the doctor. Who, by the way, eats every word he says.
I am not a psychologist or anything like that, but this interview, for me, is a masterclass in how a narcissist and classic manipulator acts.
I have to agree with everything you said !
I completely agree. When I watched it I remember he said I really want to tell u but I just can't. I think he enjoyed it. But in the interview he's trying to be oh God helped me and he says he doesn't want forgiveness. He prob don't care about forgiveness. But he's a manipulator. He wants to manipulate. He wants to fool ppl. Get ppl to like him believe him. And no I'm not a psychologist. Did study it in college. But was a nurse 4 13yrs. And I'm very empathetic so yea narcissist always seem to find me. And I think yea he was narcissist and sociopath. I don't believe he feels anything. And everytime he closed his eyes in this interview. I think he was reliving the experience and enjoying it.
When I was going for my B.S. in Psych, I took Forensic Psych as a minor. Bundy was my first research paper. Keep in mind he was a sadistic serial killer who gets great joy in fantasizing as well as carrying out ways to make people suffer. I think what makes Ted so alluring is that he was well spoken, worked on a trauma/rape hotline, was in law school and "handsome and charismatic". He was also able to have what could be viewed as a "normal" relationship with women yet still, when he got the "craving", could still go out and rape and murder another women and then going home to his partner. Interesting is that he had chosen victims with very similar likenesses. As a very young child he started displaying signs of Psychopathy (Conduct Disorder). I feel like people like him are less likely to admit to why as a way to maintain control. To them, what's the point of giving closure? If he gives that he loses his power over the families of his victims. It's all mind games. The Cluster B's are all about control and manipulation.
@@phoenixrising2671 why do women view this goofy as "handsome"? It's weird to me
I love that you are so genuine. When asked if he thinks the people outside family and friends of your victims, he seems to be sincere here saying,"again...(as if searching for the reason he does NOT care about them). He genuinely appears to not know why he is the way he is. Just prior to that statement, he says, " I was a normal person, had good friends...I was OK, I really was!" Trying to re affirm the little good that did exist somewhere in him.
That look when asked about the 12 year old was complete anger because the reverend was asking him about it and Bundy is trying to keep from getting executed the next day and that is the one murder that takes away any possible sympathy someone could have for him. He then contemplates how to answer the question while seeming remorseful, but also quickly moving on from it. That angry glance was directed at the reverend for asking.
In my humble opinion, he feels no guilt, no shame or remorse. He continually distanced himself from his crimes and he’s a terrible actor... that was not genuine. I think he kept his head down so it would be harder to detect the micro expressions of pleasure around his mouth and eyes. 🤷🏼♀️
All I can see is that he is in withdrawal.. The need to kill and now can not..is literally killing him..GOOD!!
I thought it was to seem inferior or timid that he intentionally is in a lower height and more closed stature
All of the above, like a pool player, he has all the pockets covered.
I agree with what you said about him lowering his head.
Absolutely!
I watched the interview years ago and later I read somewhere that the cut that happens is because the power went down and the crew had to wait for it to be restored to start filming again. The claims are that the power went down because the prison personnel was testing the chair. I suppose to him it must have felt similar to what victims feel looking at the killer going through his tools just before he attacked them.
Wow, great insight. I wonder if he was able to feel true fear
According to reports, he never apologized to the families of those he murdered. But he did say at the end that he sends his love to his family and friends. That’s how sick he was. I’m sure his family and friends would’ve wanted. Teddy boy to show some remorse.
Great summary, loved hearing your thoughts. Your insight that he might believe he's feeling remorse or sorrowful when he possibly doesn't is outstanding. What a thought. I'm actually falling asleep so might have missed that, I'll rewatch in the morning
Wow.
That moment where he appears to be so pained at recalling events, then that instant flash at the end, of him looking at the doctor, said everything. The hair on my neck stood on end. He was checking. Checking for a reaction, to see if he was believed . If not for that error, I might have believed him.
But that cold flash said it all. It not only illustrated that the pained expression was an act, but indicated he was more interested in how he presented to the doc and viewers, than anything else. I think he was hamming it up for one last shot to have his execution “stayed”
Exactly
He didn't wanna talk about it because it was the most pleasurable murder for him, you can see the way he closes his eyes and move his and tongue, he's feeling so much pleasure it's like an orgasm
Yes, you're exactly correct!!
which one ? can you please mention minutes and seconds
He is reaaally good at manipulating. And the fact that he acted like an injured man to lure his victims no wonder all those innocent kind-hearted women fell for it. Hell, I would easily believe him if I met him
:(
that’s the worst part of it all for me. i hope they’re all resting in peace, poor angels
@@PersisP This was his last moments though. But generally if you see an injured man on the road who needs your help, you instinctively think about helping them. Not thinking that they may be faking and they might be a serial killer. And that is exactly what happened between him and those women.
I was just thinking the same thing. His previous photos of when he was younger show a handsome man. He seemed to have smiled a lot. When you hear him talk and combine that with his looks, I would have believed him. And I always thought of myself to be a good judge of character.🤷🏻♀️
Especially bc women are taught to be helpful and accommodating even when their internal voice is telling them to keep it moving. I am often perceived or thought of as rude bc I don't engage in conversation with strangers, or stop to talk to the guy on the path, etc .. bc you just never know, and I just don't care for small talk with people I'll never see again ..
Went back to watch the initial episode you mentioned and love seeing the channel growth. You’ve done great work!
Something that really caught my eye and that I found very interesting is when the interviewer "interrupts" Bundy. ( 16:45 ) He looks almost upset or agitated by this and then he emphasizes AGAIN that he was okay and a normal person. I don't know anything about non verbal communication but it seemed to me that he was trying to gain simpathy and to make everyone believe that he was in fact "normal" by saying it multiple times. Or maybe he was just trying to believe it himself, like a self assurance type of thing. Also, the way he looked at the interviewer, his voice tone and the gesture he does with his arms looked passive-aggresive to me.
Thanks for doing this and sharing your work with us! I'm a new idiote and I find your videos super entertaining and fascinating to watch! ♥ Greetings from Argentina!
27:57 That look. If Dobson was a female with long, dark hair, parted in the middle, Bundy would be clawing his way across that table to choke the life out of her. He’s not sorry, he’s a psychopathic killer to the core.
I have watched a lot of Bundy - interviews and while in court. He was very good at being 'charming' and it was that trait that helped him lure many of his victims. I am certain he did not feel remorse. Talking about the 12 year old girl - and that look back up at the interviewer appeared to be checking to see if he was buying it. And it is a very chilling look. I am not an advocate for the death penality. However, there is no doubt about his brutal crimes.He was cunning enough to escape on two occasions -
I agree about the death penalty.... Their are many on death row who may very well be innocent. But yea, there is absolutely no doubt he did what he did, and if he had ever been released his next victim would have been picked out the next day
Bundy does shake my general anti-death penalty stance. He was completely “uncured” to his last breath. We have no idea how to cure someone like him. And to that same last breath, he was scheming how to escape and continue killing. And had the brains to do it. Incredibly dangerous man.
@@b.f.2461 narcissism and antisocial personality disorder is not curable, people are born without the ability to be empathic, to feel guilt,... they copy behaviours to get sympathy, admiration.. called narcissistic supply.

So I’m truly obsessed and fascinated by this man. What he did was absolutely disgusting and vile, but I can’t help but want to learn more about him. Unlike any other killer I’ve seen, he clearly knew how to be normal. And I think it’s what he wanted. He had a girlfriend and he was a father figure to her daughter. He had a job and he wanted to go to school to become a lawyer. But something was clearly wrong with him. Kind of like he was unsatisfied with his life. I read somewhere that serial killer’s victims reflect from some sort of past trauma. And I guarantee being lied about who his mother (who to him was a coward who did not own up to being a mother and just passed her son off to her parents) was took a huge part of who his victims were (young, bright girls who had their whole lives ahead of them). He was taking out all of his hate on other young women, believing they shouldn’t get to experience life because they don’t deserve it. His whole life was based around lies, and he simply tried to be someone he wasn’t. I think he took that sense of hate and betrayal onto other young women. Notice how he hides his face and tries to stray away from the topic of the murders. He knows he will act in an unfavorable way, so he tries to hide it. Even to his death, he wanted people to like him. Now I have some done stupid things in my life, things where I’m not sure why I did them, but I did them anyways. Of course it wasn’t to the extreme level of murder, but they were things that looking bad, I did not regret. I knew they were wrong, but a part of me still wanted to do it. Our worst enemies our ourselves, and Ted even said that humanity should be protected from itself. I’m not glorifying Bundy, nor and I sympathizing. But I am pitying him. Because he didn’t realize how good he had it, having a family and on the road to a good paying job. I am a human as well, and I have no right to judge anybody. When something goes wrong, I believe everybody is a victim, in some ways more than others. I hope all of the lives lost are now resting easy.
when talking about the girl, my bet is that he was worried someone would hear them and the other prisoners would come after him. Murdering women is bad but other prisoners aren't going to care too much, but when it comes to kids you're gunna get street justice if they find out. That's the one topic that nobody has any patience for.
I’m 59 and have been studying Bundy a lot longer than most of the viewers on this channel have been alive. Bundy knew what the fuck he was doing. Don’t fall for any last minute ‘death bed shenanigans’
I haven't seen a single person arguing that fact , have you ?
Are you a psychologist???
yep me too i am 59 also, he was a psychopath, narcissisic, child pedophile, necrophiliac pervert , rapist, murderer, kidnapper, sadist, liar, cheat and thief, defiler of corpses, de capitator, serial killer, did i live anything out
@@susansparanormalpennsylvan81 no, Susan-Bingo!!
The whole "people thought I was normal so I was normal" tells me he was never in contact with his authentic self. He's still evaluating everything based on what he's able to pull over on other people as the ultimate benchmark of success. That seems indicative on a major personality disorder imo.
You are correct. This is a major component of psychopath personality disorder
I'm impressed, what a respectful and neutral analysis! Very far from others that I've seen where they were looking in non verbal communication confirmations of what they thought Bundy to be and, of course, they found them.
Many people expect from this interview signs of a common person feelings manifestation and, as they don't find them, point to the manipulation.
Obviously he has a total different process of emotion than the average people, but it doesn't mean he's not struggling or being honest about what he's feeling in the inside.
That struggle isn't with what he's done or its consequences, as one could expect, but within.
It seems to me that he struggles with the understanding of his own being, as he is obviously aware that he experiences emotion in a different way that most of the people and tries to understand and explain it. First to himself and then to the rest.
Great video!!
Dr. Evan Lewis indicated in his psychological report: Mr. Bundy is able to compartmentalize his emotions and thought processes to an unusual degree, possibly to the point that he can dissociate himself from one set of stanstandards so that he can almost totally adapt another. Thus, he is probably capable of giving people very different impressions of himself, depending on what set of standards he chooses to guide his behavior.
Possibly one of the best descriptions of his behavior came from Larry Voschal about the raft trip in the summer of 1974:
His personality went from a very pleasant person to someone who was practically unbearable to be with. I don’t
know whether he was tired of his amateur partners or what but it was one of the most unusual personality transformations I’ve seen. I’ve been a reporter for about ten years and it’s one of the strangest things I’ve seen. I believe he’s got a split personality, a dual personality. The psychological test data was too clean and of a nature that I often see in people who don’t want to reveal themselves. There were a couple of times I saw the angry side of Ted so I knew it was there. Putting all the information I had gleaned from the test data as well as the phone conversations and the personal interviews with Ted, I arrived at the following conclusions about Ted Bundy, which I put in my report to the court. He is a private person and won’t reveal himself to others. He doesn’t want to be known by others. He became defensive and evasive when any of his girlfriends tried to get information from him. Outwardly he looks very adequate. This masks strong feelings of inadequacy. He couldn’t handle ambiguity (for example, he was obsessively organized and continuously called his investigators for updates so that he would know what the police thought of him). Loss of a father was very significant. He viewed women as more competent than men.He demonstrated a strong dependency on women for emotional support and yet he couldn’t settle down with one. He said he resented dependency and yet he seemed to most resent his own dependency. He would get very upset when people would say negative things about him. There were a number of people coming in and out of his life. Most relationships were brief, suggesting instability. He would hurt deeply when he would lose someone. There was a strong sense of futility about him. He is reluctant to accept help or support from anyone (except for financial support). He wants relationships with people on his terms and he wants to be in control of the relationship at all times. He is egocentric. It is extremely important for him to be in control of his emotions, interpersonal relationships and interviews. He has a very strong fear of being hurt and he puts up strong defenses against getting close, including being touched. He has an obsession regarding controlling and structuring and he runs from the situation or relationship when it doesn’t work. He shows strong suspiciousness regarding people playing games or trying to trick him and he is always on guard. He is a very perceptive person. There is a strong theme of having been put down, humiliated and made fun of. There is a strong sense of loneliness. He shows a rapid change in moods from pleasant to angry to depressed. He lacks outward indications of guilt and tries to conceal his anxiety. However, he shows it through deep sighs and heavy perspiring. He claims his behavior is not modifiable by fear. “I don’t have fears. Fear, pain and punishment don’t stick
with me.” However, this is not true. I concluded that it was my opinion that Ted’s personality fit the crime for which he was found guilty. I submitted my report to the court. Then all hell broke loose.
*Dr Al Carlisle :The 1976 Psychological Assessment of Ted Bundy (Development of the Violent Mind Book 4)*
I can't believe he never thought "Oh maybe serving as my own defense attorney is not a good idea". It probably wouldn't have made a difference either way. He was as guilty as sin.
He at one point said being a serial killer was a small part of his life and other than that he was normal. That isn't true at all and being a serial killer and pervert is not a small thing in anybody's life, If that is what they are. It is amazing the way he is still trying to downplay his actions even as he is days away from the electric chair.
He has that smirk when he's saying things that people want to hear, like pertaining to God and remorse (perception management) but notice how the smirk went away when he was stating facts (like how his friends & family had no idea)
I think that says a lot.
And when a specific name or act is brought up, I think the only emotion he experiences ... is this: Ted is sad/angry that he will never get to do those things again. Its painful to him.
That's messed up, that he had no regrets except for getting caught.
I think he feels miserable or terrible at that time only because he knows all the people won’t leave him alone and want him to feel sorry or remorse which is insanely impossible.
I am a psychology student and I enjoy your videos so much! I like how accurate you are with things.
He was so narcissistic that he thought he could be his own attorney and be acquitted smh
@@ekko6757 mental health professionals said all he did was talk about himself 24/7.
He was truly surprised it didn't work out for him... IMO
Craziest thing I've seen
I recently rewatched the Netflix 4 parter about him and that is what stuck out to me. I remember one of his various defence attorneys saying that it was a farce he was allowed to counsel his own case, not being a trained lawyer. Imagine going to a night school for a year as a doctor and then being allowed to prescribe medication - insane!
For anyone who is curious, Dr. James Dobson is a conservative, fundamentalist Christian. He is the founder of a major conservative Christian organization that fights for “old fashioned values” called Focus on the Family.
No wonder he was eating up all that "God forgave me" bullshit. Biased. 🙄
I was wondering why the interviewer seemed a lot more positively disposed toward him compared to other interviews ive watched
makes sense, a fundamentalist christian WOULD lap up the idea of a savage, brutal serial murderer being saved by god or whatever
I’m an Evangelical Christian Conservative and I think this dude is playing far too nice with Bundy. Please don’t condemn us all over one person.
@@stephanierauba4887 no one is being condemned
What's also important to note is that Dr James Dobson is an evangelical Christian author and founder of Focus On The Family - so Bundy's whole schtick about blaming pornography was playing right into exactly what a fundamentalist religious man would want to hear in order to gain sympathy from him.
I don’t understand people who say he was so charming and normal looking. The way he was (sick and power obsessed) was all over his face.
His sicko nature was always in the eyes.
When he looks up after feigning that he has trouble with the question.. to see if Dobson is reacting correctly… that gave me chills. Those eyes
Amazing how much he wallows in the knowledge he’s going to die and appears to be trying to elicit sympathy, given how many times he looked into the eyes of his victims without mercy.
The man was only fearful not sorry. 19:25 for me is the lynchpin of the whole interview. When asked how he felt about devastating the lives of hundreds he said. “We’re beyond that now.”
He was sorry for Himself but not what he did. He never gets to I’m sorry directly; nothing was a straight line for that monster. He had a decade to process his murderous path and this is the best we can get? Ecclesiastes 1:15
I am just a few years younger than Bundy. In the 1950's in NE Ohio I was riding my bike one early evening at our local elementary school property. It was elevated from the street. A car drove up and the driver rolled down his window and asked me something. Not hearing him well, I asked him to repeat it. The guy then said "Come over here and I'll tell you." I got back onto my bike and took off like a bat out of hell. At that point on the school grounds, cars could not access it. I did not stop until I reached my house, about 2-3 blocks away. Dodged a bullet then.
There's something I find oddly fascinating about Ted Bundy in terms of how he was so much about the presentation of himself as a person. From using it to lure his victims, defending himself in court, to the interview footage I've seen. It mattered so much to him in some sick and twisted way clearly. The bit where he starts to talk about how he was "absolutely horrified by what he was capable of" but that smirk is so present is still chilling.
Yess im exactly the same! I find him so EXTREMELY interesting and fascinating- his story/life, all the ways he manipulated his way through situations, the crimes and yess that smirk... watched every doco on him... just fascinating.
Ted Bundy's scariest characteristic is that he's far too excited to talk about the gruesome things he did.
I paused the video and am writing this so idk what conclusion you draw, but from his change in demeanour alone (as the subject changes to his feelings and his acts) I am inclined to believe that he doesn't really feel remorse and even misses those feelings in some capacity.
I can't believe they let him have a child. I just can't understand how was that allowed. It's beyond my comprehension.
I think the only thing he felt remorse for was being caught for the last time. He loves to try to seem intelligent and thoughtful, and to come across as an educated person with a strong understanding of psychological behaviour. Everything he does is just a display of that, it's just a show.
Chris Watts, in his more recent prison communications, says almost exactly the same thing Word for Word. Something had taken over him, it's like waking up after being possessed, something evil had been inside him. He speaks religiously, takes responsibility, but then immediately provides reasons and still makes excuses.
I'm starting to believe that this is actually possible...I've heard other killers say the same. A guy killed his wife by stabbing her and then burned the house down while drunk at new years eve a few years ago. His whole family described him as a nice guy who was never ever violent towards anyone and who had a good relationship to his wife and kids. He described the night of the murder as absurd and like he was in a trance and as if something took over him. He had an argument with his wife and then something inside him told him to better end this and he just went into the kitchen, got a knife and stabbed his wife multiple times, then calmly went to pour gasoline allover the house and set it on fire. He felt like he had been in a trance and not himself at all. I am not religious, but I do believe there are some evil forces that can affect people, especially when intoxicated from alcohol or cocaine.
But Ted Bundy seems to have been like this since he was a kid. And there are theories that his mother was raped by her own father and became pregnant with Ted. That's a very evil act and who knows if he was born evil because of all the trauma and most likely negative and traumatic thoughts his mother had during the pregancy. Wikipedia describes an episode when he was a child: "Bundy occasionally exhibited disturbing behavior at an early age. Julia recalled awakening from a nap to find herself surrounded by knives from the kitchen, and three-year-old Ted standing by the bed smiling." ...Sounds like he was born this way. Maybe he was actually possessed while in the womb...
@@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight stop spamming this everywhere, they are not "possessed" they are just using it as a tool to seem mentally unwell
@@aspannas I posted this on one other comment besides this one. I wouldn't call that spam. Some might use it as a tool to seem mentally unwell, yes, but there are a lot of incidents where the person actually do seem possessed by something. You can even see it sometimes when some people are drunk, not in such an extreme way, but if you are sober and observe some people while drunk, it's like they are possessed by something. Like the person is not there anymore and something else has taken over.
But you are entitled to your opinion based on your experience (and most likely societal programming). We have been taught that this is not possible because science can't prove non-physical phenomena with it's limited scientific method. It can only measure half of our existence and the non-physical has just been given to religion who has their own crazy versions of things. But energy is very real and anyone who has the extrasensory abilities to sense it, knows exactly what I am talking about. You obviously don't.
@@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight I think you have some good points.
@@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight So does anyone who disagrees with you not have these magical extrasensory abilities?
I’ve watched this interview many times. Bundy wasn’t a genius, but he was a master at manipulating the situation, and people. This guy played right into Bundy’s hands. Nothing but lies and manipulation from Bundy here. When he speaks with Bob Keppel or Bill Haigmaier, it’s very different. This was just a fluff interview, with no insight whatsoever in to what really drove Bundy.
Dobson isn’t qualified for this stuff. I’m a Christian and not a huge fan of his work. I don’t think he’s qualified to address abusers and the like.
Dobson had a lot to gain by feeding into Bundy's story.
@@VirginiaGeorge what's christ got to do with anything??
Bundy was pretty damn smart, most killers like him are. The amount of times he was able to fool victims, law enforcement, friends, family, and even the public is pretty insane. Even the judge at his final trial said as much, in another life Bundy would've been a great lawyer or something. If he'd used his intelligence for something good instead of murder and manipulation, who knows what he could've accomplished. Same can be said for Dahmer, too.
Umm , were you not aware this interview came hours before he was scheduled to be executed ? You don't think that makes a difference ?
27:56 Don't need to be a expert to know THAT wasn't right. That look gave me chills. He was acting right up until the very end.
I am by no means a mental health professional or an expert in body language but I was a bartender for 20+ years so I have a little insight into what makes people tick.
That heads-down, downward gaze thing that he's doing? That's an attempt to come across as nonthreatening. It's used to lull people into a false sense of security because they are made to think that they are the dominant one in the situation.
The reason that he looks so ashamed about Kimberly Leach isn't because she was so young and her parents were hurting due to his actions.
He considered her low hanging fruit and he liked to feel that he had outwitted a worthy opponent. Kimberly Leach was in no way on the same level as Bundy so he was ashamed of murdering her because there was no challenge to it.
he said stuff like "im normal 99% of the time" and "i experienced normal emotions when i wasnt in this other state of mind", but hes also said that he used to go on practice runs, where hed practice his ruses and luring techniques and pick up girls, but hed let them go. so if he was that dedicated to perfecting his craft, then he was "in the killers mind" 100% of the time, not just 1%
My third son was born January 1989. Ted Bundy was executed shortly after. I remember the crowds outside cheering. It was kind of surreal. He was a master manipulator. He told Dr. Dobson exactly what he wanted to hear.
That's funny. My mother's third son was born shortly before he was executed.
He didn't confess to any of the suspected victims who were under 15-years-old, so his extreme agitation when 12-year-old Kimberly Leach was mentioned would be expected. Also, Kimberly Leach's murder was the crime that sent him to the electric chair.
After watching "Secret Window" a movie in which the actor Johnny Depp killed his wife, I truly felt the terror of what Bundy's victims would have felt. He did not show any hesitation or mercy. He was an animal.
