"CHI OMEGA MASSACRE: TED BUNDY DEFENDS HIMSELF IN THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY" (Part 2 of 4)
Reid Carter covers Ted Bundy's 1979 trial for murdering two Florida State University sorority sisters. June 25, 1979: Bundy acted as his own attorney—cross-examining witnesses, making objections, addressing the jury directly. Prosecution presented Nita Neary who saw Bundy leaving Chi Omega sorority house at 3 AM. Forensic odontologist Richard Souviron testified bite marks on Lisa Levy's buttock matched Bundy's teeth exactly—first time bite mark evidence convicted a murderer in Florida. July 24, 1979: Jury deliberated seven hours—guilty on all counts. Judge Edward Cowart sentenced Bundy to death by electrocution, telling him "Take care of yourself, young man."

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.599
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Sunday, November sixteenth,
2
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:19.280
twenty twenty five. Yesterday we covered Ted Bundy's cross country
3
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.760
killing spree. Today the trial that captivated America. June twenty fifth,
4
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:30.079
nineteen seventy nine, Miami, Florida, Dade County Courthouse, State of
5
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.000
Florida versus Theodore Robert Bundy charged with two counts of
6
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.039
first degree murder for killing Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levey
7
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.560
at the chi Omega Sorority House, two counts of attempted
8
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.439
murder for attacking Kathy Kleiner and Karen Chandler, three counts
9
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:49.960
of burglary. The prosecution had witnesses, physical evidence, crime scene photographs,
10
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.759
bite mark evidence matching Ted's teeth to the wound on
11
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.759
Lisa Levy's body, and Ted Bundy decided to defend himself.
12
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.039
He fired his public defenders, told the judge he'd represent himself,
13
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.159
act as his own attorney, cross examine witnesses, make objections,
14
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.079
address the jury. He was a law school drop out
15
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:13.040
with no degree, no license, no experience, but Florida law
16
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.799
allowed defendants to represent themselves. Ted thought he was smarter
17
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.439
than everyone in that courtroom, smarter than the prosecutors, smarter
18
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.519
than the judge he'd charmed the jury convinced them he
19
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.079
was innocent, just like he'd charmed his victims. The trial
20
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.079
lasted five weeks, televised nationally. America watched a serial killer
21
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:37.760
defend himself for murder. Ted loved the attention, smiled for cameras,
22
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.040
gave interviews, acted like a celebrity, not a defendant facing
23
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.640
the death penalty. July twenty fourth, nineteen seventy nine, the
24
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:51.480
jury returned after seven hours of deliberation, guilty on all counts.
25
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.000
Ted Bundy was sentenced to death in the electric chair,
26
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.239
but not before he married his girlfriend in the courtroom,
27
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.040
used an obscure floor or at a law that made
28
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.159
declarations of marriage legally binding when made in front of
29
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.639
a judge proposed during his own murder trial. She said, yes,
30
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.439
they were married. The judge was furious, I'm reed, Carter.
31
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.240
This is Celebrity Trials. Day two, the trial that made
32
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:25.120
Ted Bundy famous and put him on death row. June
33
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.639
twenty fifth, nineteen seventy nine. Judge Edward Cowart, presiding prosecutor
34
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.000
Larry Simpson, and assistant state attorney Dan mckever for the state,
35
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.840
Ted Bundy representing himself with public defenders Margaret good, Lynn Thompson,
36
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.599
and Robert Haggard as advisory council. Jury selection took a week.
37
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.840
Ted participated actively asked potential jurors about their views on
38
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.479
the death penalty, their ability to be impartial, their opinions
39
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:57.400
on pre trial publicity. He was calm, professional, articulate. Jurors
40
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.240
saw a clean cut young man in a suit, not
41
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.240
a monster. The final jury seven men, five women, all white,
42
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:11.120
all willing to impose death penalty if evidence warranted. Opening
43
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:15.759
statements began July fifth. Prosecutor Larry Simpson laid out the
44
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:21.840
state's case. January fifteenth, nineteen seventy eight, Ted Bundy entered
45
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.000
the chi Omega sorority house through an unlocked door, beat
46
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.240
four women with an oak log, killed two, all within
47
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.719
fifteen minutes, then attacked Cheryl Thomas eight blocks away forty
48
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.520
five minutes later, left a trail of evidence connecting him
49
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.759
to all three crime scenes. Simpson told the jury they'd
50
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:44.120
hear from eye witnesses, forensic experts, medical examiners, physical evidence,
51
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:48.280
including bitemark analysis matching Ted's teeth to wounds on Lisa
52
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.680
Levi's body. The evidence will show that Theodore Robert Bundy
53
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.159
is a murderer, a brutal, vicious murderer who killed two
54
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.599
young women in their sleep. The evidence will prove his
55
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:05.639
guilt beyond any reasonable doubt. Ted's opening statement was different.
56
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.080
He didn't deny being in Tallahassee, didn't deny knowing about
57
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.280
the Chai Omega murders, but he denied killing anyone. Said
58
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:19.680
the state's evidence was circumstantial, that eyewitness testimony was unreliable,
59
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.560
that bite mark evidence was junk science, that police rushed
60
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.000
to judgment because they needed to solve these horrific crimes.
61
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.000
Ladies and gentlemen, the state wants you to believe I'm
62
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.519
a monster, but I'm just a man, a man who's
63
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.879
been accused of terrible things, a man who deserves a
64
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.360
fair trial. Listen to the evidence, carefully, consider it objectively.
65
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:48.240
You'll see there's reasonable doubt. He was good, confident, persuasive.
66
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.360
If you didn't know what he'd done, you might believe him.
67
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.560
The state called its first witness, Nita Neeri, twenty one
68
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.959
years old chi Omega sorority sister who returned to the
69
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.600
house at three am and saw the killer leaving. Nita
70
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.199
testified she arrived home around three am with her boyfriend,
71
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.920
walked up to the front door, noticed it was a jar,
72
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.079
unusual but not alarming. Sometimes sisters forgot to lock it.
73
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:20.160
She pushed the door open, stepped inside, heard running footsteps.
74
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.639
A man emerged from the hallway carrying something, couldn't tell what.
75
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.160
He was. Crouched down, moving fast, turned toward the door.
76
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.519
For just a moment, Nita saw his profile, sharp features,
77
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.519
dark hair. He was maybe five feet away. The man
78
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.920
opened the door and ran. Nita heard screaming from upstairs.
79
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.519
Ran to investigate. Found Kathy Kleiner and Karen Chandler in
80
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:50.480
their room, both bleeding, both screaming blood everywhere. Prosecutor Simpson
81
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.920
asked Nita if she saw the man in the courtroom.
82
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.519
She pointed directly at Ted Bundy. That's him. I'll never
83
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:02.600
forget his profile. Ted crossed examined her, asked about lighting conditions,
84
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.360
whether she was certain about the identification, how long she
85
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.519
actually saw the man's face. Nita held firm, I saw
86
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:16.079
him clearly. It was you. Next witness, Nancy Dowdy, chi
87
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:20.680
Omega house mother, testified she locked the front door at midnight.
88
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.959
Someone had to have unlocked it from inside or come
89
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.639
in through a window. Kathy Kleiner and Karen Chandler testified.
90
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.160
Both described waking to pain, seeing a man with a
91
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.600
log standing over them, being hit repeatedly. Cathy's jaw was
92
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.800
shattered required extensive reconstructive surgery. Karen suffered a broken jaw
93
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:47.000
and skull fractures. Both had permanent scarring permanent trauma. Under
94
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.959
cross examination, Ted asked them to describe their attacker. Neither could.
95
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:57.879
Everything happened too fast, too dark, too much pain, but
96
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.399
they were certain they'd been attacked by the same person
97
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.199
who killed Margaret and Lisa. The medical examiner testified about
98
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.279
Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy's injuries. Margaret died from strangulation
99
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.959
pantehose ligature around her neck, skull fracture from blunt force trauma,
100
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.920
no defensive wounds. She was likely unconscious before she could
101
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:21.560
fight back. Lisa Levy suffered worse blunt force trauma to
102
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.680
the head, strangulation, vaginal trauma consistent with sexual assault, and
103
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.839
a massive bitemark on her left buttock. The flesh was
104
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.480
bitten so hard it left a clear impression of teeth,
105
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:38.199
upper and lower jaw, individual tooth patterns. Ted objected repeatedly
106
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:43.680
claimed the bitemark evidence was prejudicial, not scientifically valid. Judge
107
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.720
Coward overruled him the evidence was admissible. Then the state
108
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:53.959
called doctor Richard Souveran, forensic odontologist expert in bitemark analysis.
109
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.000
Doctor Suvian testified he examined the bitemark on Lisa Levy's
110
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:04.920
buttock during autopsy, made detailed measurements. The bite showed unique characteristics,
111
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.639
chipped tooth on the upper right, irregular spacing in the
112
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.560
lower jaw. Police had obtained a warrant for Ted's dental impressions.
113
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.319
Ted fought it lost, had to open his mouth while
114
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:19.680
a dentist made plaster molds of his teeth. Doctor Suveron
115
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.560
compared Ted's dental impressions to the bite mark perfect match.
116
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:28.399
The chip tooth aligned exactly, the irregular spacing matched precisely.
117
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.720
He created an overlay transparent sheet with Ted's tooth pattern
118
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:37.240
and placed it over the bitemark photograph. Every single tooth aligned,
119
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.919
in my professional opinion, to a reasonable degree of dental certainty.
120
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:46.600
Theodore Bundy made that bitemark on Lisa Levy. The courtroom
121
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.480
went silent. This was the evidence that connected Ted directly
122
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:56.639
to Lisa's body. Not circumstantial, not eyewitness testimony, physical evidence,
123
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.480
his teeth, his bite, his mark on a murder woman.
124
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.960
Ted tried to discredit the testimony, asked about error rates
125
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:09.559
in bitemark analysis, whether other people might have similar dental patterns,
126
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.279
whether the impressions could have been contaminated. Doctor Suveran was unshakable.
127
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.399
The match is definitive. No one else has this exact
128
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:23.240
dental configuration. Theodore Bundy bit Lisa Levy. This was the
129
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.879
first murder conviction in Florida based on bitemark evidence, and
130
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.759
it was devastating. The state presented more evidence. Pantyhose found
131
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.519
in Ryl Thomas's apartment matched panti hoose from chi Omega.
132
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.559
Ted took them from the sorority house to use in
133
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:42.440
his next attack. A stolen credit card receipt placed Ted
134
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.720
in Tallahassee at the time of the murders. Witnesses saw
135
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.600
a man matching Ted's description near chi Omega that night.
136
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:53.120
Ted called no witnesses presented no evidence, just argued the
137
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.720
state hadn't proven guilt beyond reasonable doubt, but he did
138
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:00.919
do something unprecedented, something nobody saw coming. He called Carol
139
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.960
Anne Boone to the stand. We'll be right back with
140
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.240
Ted Bundy's courtroom marriage and the verdict that sent him
141
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:28.480
to death row. Carol Anne Boone, thirty five years old,
142
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.440
divorced mother of two, met Ted in nineteen seventy four
143
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.080
when they both worked at Washington State Department of Emergency Services.
144
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.399
Became friends, stayed in touch after Ted moved to Utah.
145
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.840
When Ted was arrested, Carol believed he was innocent, visited
146
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.320
him in prison, wrote him letters, testified as a character
147
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:52.080
witnessed at his Colorado trial. After his second escape, Carol
148
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.200
moved to Florida to be near him, attended every day
149
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:59.799
of his trial. She loved him completely, believed he was framed.
150
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.799
Thought the evidence was fabricated, that Ted was a victim
151
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:08.120
of over zealous prosecutors and police incompetence. Ted called her
152
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.639
as a defense witness, not to testify about evidence, to
153
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:17.240
testify about his character. She told the jury Ted was kind, intelligent, compassionate,
154
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.759
not capable of murder. The jury wasn't impressed. Then during
155
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:25.559
her testimony, Ted did something shocking. He asked her, will
156
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:30.600
you marry me? Carol answered yes, Ted said, then I
157
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:35.399
do hereby marry you. Judge Cowart was furious started to object,
158
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.960
but Ted's attorney whispered to him. Under Florida law at
159
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.559
the time, a declaration of marriage made in front of
160
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.320
a judge with witnesses present was legally binding. No license required,
161
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:51.000
no ceremony needed, just a public declaration. Ted and Carol
162
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.840
were married in the middle of his murder trial, in
163
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:57.600
front of the jury on national television. Why did he
164
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:04.840
do it? Control ego media spectacle? Maybe genuine feeling psychopaths
165
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:08.720
can form attachments even if they're shallow, or maybe Ted
166
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.000
thought a wife would make him sympathetic to the jury.
167
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.440
Look at me, I'm getting married. Murderers don't get married
168
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.159
during their trials, do they. It didn't work. The jury
169
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:23.279
wasn't swayed. If anything, it made Ted look more manipulative.
170
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:31.240
July twenty third, nineteen seventy nine, closing arguments, Prosecutor Larry
171
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.840
Simpson reminded the jury of the evidence eyewitness identification, bite
172
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.440
mark evidence, physical evidence connecting Ted to the crime scenes,
173
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.000
medical testimony about the brutality of the attacks. Theodore Bundy
174
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.440
murdered Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy. The evidence proves it
175
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:51.639
beyond any doubt, he deserves to be held accountable. Ted's
176
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.600
closing argument focused on reasonable doubt. The state hadn't proven
177
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.720
he was in the chi Omega house. Bite mark evidence
178
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:04.639
was unreliable. Eyewitness testimony was uncertain. You must be absolutely
179
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.159
certain of my guilt before you convict. If there's any doubt,
180
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:13.000
any at all, you must acquit. July twenty fourth, nineteen
181
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:17.559
seventy nine, the jury deliberated seven hours, returned at ten
182
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.960
thirty pm. Guilty on all counts, two counts first degree murder,
183
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:27.120
three counts burglary, two counts attempted murder. Ted showed no emotion,
184
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.519
just stared straight ahead. Carol Boone sobbed in the gallery.
185
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.799
Sentencing phase began immediately. Under Florida law, the jury had
186
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.519
to recommend either life in prison or death penalty. The
187
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.039
same jury that convicted him would now decide if he
188
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:47.039
should die. The state argued, aggravating factors. Ted killed during
189
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:52.240
a burglary. The murders were especially heinous, atrocious, and cruel.
190
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:57.360
He showed no remorse, posed a continuing threat to society.
191
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:02.759
The defense argued, mitigating factors no prior violent felony convictions.
192
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.480
In Florida. The Utah and Colorado cases were still pending.
193
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:12.159
Ted was young, capable of rehabilitation. Death penalty was too extreme.
194
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:17.879
The jury recommended death twice, once for Margaret Bowman's murder,
195
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:21.639
once for Lisa Levy's murder. Judge Edward Cowart had final
196
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:27.320
say July thirty first, nineteen seventy nine. Sentencing hearing. Ted
197
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:31.840
addressed the court, maintained his innocence, said the trial was unfair,
198
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:36.240
that he was convicted by media hysteria, not evidence. Asked
199
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:41.519
for mercy. Judge Cowart was unmoved, but he did something unexpected.
200
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.840
He praised Ted's potential. It is an utter tragedy for
201
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.600
this court to see such a total waste of humanity.
202
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.320
You're a bright young man. You'd have made a good lawyer.
203
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.000
I'd have loved to have you practice in front of me,
204
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:58.879
but you went the wrong way. Partner, Take care of yourself,
205
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.399
young man. Then he sentenced Ted to death twice, once
206
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:08.960
for each murder. Electrocution Florida's electric chair Old Sparky. Ted
207
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.320
was taken to Florida State Prison death row. His execution
208
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:17.240
date was set from March fourth, nineteen eighty, but appeals
209
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.960
would delay it for almost ten years. One month later,
210
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.600
Ted went on trial again, this time for murdering twelve
211
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:30.480
year old Kimberly Leech. Same pattern, same evidence, same result, guilty,
212
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.639
death sentence. Ted Bundy had two death sentences, no possibility
213
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:38.799
of parole, no hope of freedom. He'd spend the rest
214
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.279
of his life in a six x nine cell, waiting
215
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:48.080
to die. The trial made Ted famous national media coverage, television, interviews, books,
216
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:53.320
magazine articles. He became a celebrity, the handsome, charming serial
217
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:56.879
killer who defended himself in court, who married his girlfriend
218
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.919
in front of the jury, who smiled and waved at camera.
219
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:05.120
He loved it, the attention, the fame, being the center
220
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:09.000
of everything, even if it meant being known as a murderer.
221
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.799
Years later, FBI profiler Robert Wrestler interviewed Ted on death
222
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.679
row asked him why he defended himself. Ted said, I
223
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:31.840
enjoyed the spotlight. I enjoyed being my own lawyer. I
224
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.039
enjoyed the challenge. Wrestler asked if Ted understood the victim's
225
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.120
families were in that courtroom watching him perform, seeing him
226
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:43.960
smile and joke and flirt with reporters, watching him marry
227
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.799
Carol Boone while their daughters lay dead in the ground.
228
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.320
Ted said, I couldn't think about that. I had to
229
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:55.120
focus on my defense. No remorse, no empathy, no recognition
230
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.879
that he destroyed families, just ego, just performance, just Ted
231
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.160
Bundy playing to an audience. Margaret Bowman was twenty one
232
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:08.079
years old, art history major, loved painting, wanted to go
233
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.119
to law school. Her mother, Eleanor, testified at sentencing, described
234
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:16.279
Margaret as brilliant, kind, full of life. She had everything
235
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:20.000
ahead of her. Ted Bundy took that away. He took
236
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:24.000
my daughter, He took our future. Lisa Livy was twenty
237
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:29.440
years old dance major. Performed in university productions. Wanted to
238
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:33.160
teach dance to children. Her father testified about the whole
1

2
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:19.280
