"DEATH ROW CONFESSIONS: TED BUNDY'S DECADE-LONG MANIPULATION GAME" (Part 3 of 4)
Reid Carter examines Ted Bundy's nine years on death row where he weaponized victim information for execution delays. 1980: Married Carole Ann Boone who smuggled his sperm from prison—daughter Rosa born October 1982. 1984: Bundy started confessing to detectives, revealing burial sites and murder details only the killer would know. Admitted to 30 murders but investigators believe actual count exceeded 100 victims. January 1989: With execution days away, Bundy offered to confess to more murders in exchange for delays. Detectives from seven states flew to Florida State Prison. Bundy described decapitations, necrophilia, keeping severed heads as trophies—all while smiling at cameras.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.039
Calaruga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Red Carter. Monday, November seventeenth,
2
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:19.359
twenty twenty five. We're continuing our look at classic trials
3
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.320
during the holiday court break today. Ted Bundy's nine years
4
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.399
on death Row. July thirty first, nineteen seventy nine, Ted
5
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.600
Bundy received two death sentences for murdering Margaret Bowman and
6
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.079
Lisa Levy at Chai Omega Sorority House. Sent to Florida
7
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.920
State Prison Death Row. Sell Q dash three dash south,
8
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.759
six feet by nine feet, concrete walls, steel door, one
9
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.759
hour of exercise per day, twenty three hours in the
10
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:51.520
cell alone with his thoughts. Most Death Row inmates deteriorate depression,
11
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:57.960
mental illness, withdrawal from reality. Not Ted, He thrived. Death
12
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.200
row gave him what he craved most attention. He gave
13
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.719
interviews to journalists, authors, filmmakers, talked about his crimes without confessing,
14
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.680
discussed serial killer psychology, analyzed his own methods in third
15
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.640
person as if he were studying someone else, called himself
16
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.799
an amateur compared to other killers. He married Carol Anne Boone,
17
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.640
technically already married from the courtroom declaration, but they had
18
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.400
a second ceremony at the prison she visited regularly, somehow
19
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.640
got pregnant during a contact visit gave birth to their daughter,
20
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.359
Rosa in October nineteen eighty two. Prison officials never figured
21
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.120
out how conception happened. Carol never explained Rosa was Ted
22
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.760
Bundy's only child. For nine years, Ted lived on death row,
23
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:49.480
filed appeals, fought his execution, and slowly strategically started confessing,
24
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.879
not out of remorse, not to help families find closure,
25
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:58.040
but to buy himself more time. Each confession was a
26
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.079
bargaining chip. Each body of location was leveraged for another delay.
27
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.359
Detectives from seven states wanted answers, families wanted to know
28
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.240
what happened to their daughters, and Ted Bundy used their
29
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:15.000
desperation to stay alive as long as possible. January nineteen
30
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:20.479
eighty nine, Ted's appeals were exhausted, execution dates set for
31
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.360
January twenty fourth. Suddenly, Ted wanted to talk. Had information
32
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.439
about unsolved murders, could provide details only the killer would know.
33
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.439
Offered to confess to everything if Florida would delay his execution.
34
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.879
Governor Bob Martinez refused. The execution would proceed on schedule,
35
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.479
but detectives from Washington, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, California, and
36
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:49.240
Florida descended on Florida State Prison anyway they wanted answers,
37
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.039
even if it meant listening to Ted glowed about murder
38
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:57.000
for his final week. I'm reed, Carter, this is Celebrity Trials.
39
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.879
Day three, Death Row Confessions and the manipulation game Ted
40
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:08.240
Bundy played until the very end. July nineteen seventy nine,
41
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.879
Ted Bundy arrived at Florida State Prison Death Row Cell
42
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:16.000
Block Q, also known as the Bucket home to Florida's
43
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.199
most dangerous condemned men. Ted cell six feet by nine
44
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:25.280
feet concrete floor, steel bunk, stainless steel, toilet and sink combo.
45
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.319
No privacy. Guards could see everything through the barred door,
46
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.039
one small window near the ceiling, natural light for a
47
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:38.960
few hours a day. Otherwise fluorescent lights, constant noise, men screaming, crying,
48
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.639
talking to themselves. Ted adapted quickly started a routine exercise
49
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.960
during his one hour of yard time, reading legal materials,
50
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:53.159
filing appeals, writing letters, giving interviews. He got more mail
51
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.599
than any other death row inmate, hundreds of letters a week,
52
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.400
marriage proposals, fan mail, women who think I thought he
53
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.280
was innocent. Women who didn't care if he was guilty.
54
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:09.280
Ted answered some letters, especially from women, built relationships, manipulated
55
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.639
them into sending money, convincing them to advocate for him.
56
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.199
One woman even tried to help him escape. Plan was
57
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.680
discovered before execution. Carol Anne Boone visited regularly. They'd gotten
58
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.120
married in court during his trial, but Florida officials didn't
59
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.120
recognize it initially, so they had another ceremony in the
60
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:31.639
prison made it official. Carol moved to Gainesville, Florida, with
61
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.160
her son from a previous marriage, got a job, visited
62
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.879
Ted weekly. Prison allowed contact visits for married couples, supervised
63
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.439
but not heavily monitored. Somehow, during one of these visits,
64
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:49.040
Carol became pregnant. Prison officials launched an investigation. Never figured
65
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:54.680
out how. Some theories bribed guards smuggled specimen. Ted was
66
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.040
clever found a way. October twenty fourth, nineteen eighty two,
67
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.439
ro was born Ted's daughter, his only child. He never
68
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.920
met her outside prison, only saw her during visits. She'd
69
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.240
sit on his lap in the visiting room. He'd read
70
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.920
to her, play with her, act like a normal father,
71
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.079
except he was on death row for murdering two women
72
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.959
and being suspected of killing dozens more. Carol brought Rosa
73
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.240
to visit until nineteen eighty six. Then the visit stopped.
74
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.959
Carol divorced Ted, took Rosa and disappeared, changed their names,
75
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.639
built a new life somewhere far away from Florida. Rosa
76
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.040
Bundy grew up not knowing her father was one of
77
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.959
America's most notorious serial killers. Carol protected her from that
78
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:42.279
truth as long as possible. Years later, Rosa learned can't
79
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:47.959
hide forever. Media found out published stories Ted Bundy's daughter.
80
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.920
Where is she now? Rosa has never given an interview,
81
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:56.480
never spoken publicly. She deserves privacy. She didn't choose her
82
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.279
father shouldn't be punished for his crimes. But in the
83
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.600
early nineteen eighties, Ted had a wife and daughter visiting,
84
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.759
had a support system, had people who believed in him,
85
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.439
or at least Carol believed. She wrote a memoir years later,
86
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.319
admitting she'd been manipulated, that Ted lied to her constantly,
87
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.040
that she finally accepted the truth after reading evidence transcripts,
88
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.160
but for years she was all in. Ted also had
89
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:26.879
celebrity admirers. Author Anne Rule visited him they'd worked together
90
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.480
at Seattle Crisis Clinic in the nineteen seventies. She was
91
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:36.480
writing The Stranger Beside Me. Wanted his perspective. Ted gave interviews,
92
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:41.519
talked about serial killers in third person, analyzed criminal psychology,
93
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:48.279
avoided confessing to anything. He gave interviews to journalists, filmmakers, psychologists.
94
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.600
Everyone wanted to understand how a charming law student became
95
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:56.560
a serial killer. Ted loved the attention, controlled the narrative,
96
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:01.319
made himself interesting, made people fascinated. He talked about pornography,
97
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.120
blamed his crimes on addiction to violent pornography. Said it
98
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.800
started with magazines, escalated to hardcore violent content, desensitized him
99
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.079
to violence against women, made him crave, acting out fantasies.
100
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.120
Psychologists debated whether pornography caused his violence, or if violent
101
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:22.800
tendencies made him seek out pornography. Most concluded Ted was
102
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:27.399
born a psychopath. Pornography didn't create him, just fed impulses
103
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:31.360
that were already there. But Ted's pornography explanation gave him
104
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:36.399
an out, a reason, something external to blame. Society did
105
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.759
this to me, media did this. I'm a victim too.
106
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:45.399
Typical psychopath deflection, never accept responsibility always find someone else
107
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:50.920
to blame. Meanwhile, Ted filed appeal. After appeal challenged his convictions,
108
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.759
claimed ineffective council claimed juror bias, claimed the bitemark evidence
109
00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:02.000
was junk science, claimed prosecutors withheld exculpatory evidence. Every argument failed.
110
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:08.199
Florida Supreme Court upheld his convictions. Federal courts denied his petitions.
111
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:14.360
March nineteen eighty Ted's first execution date scheduled stayed at
112
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:18.720
the last minute due to pending appeals. November nineteen eighty three.
113
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:23.879
Second execution date stayed again. March nineteen eighty six. Third
114
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:28.959
execution date stayed again. Each time Ted got closer to
115
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:33.960
the electric chair. Each time appeals saved him, but eventually
116
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:38.080
the appeals would run out. Everyone knew it, including Ted,
117
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:43.840
so he started playing his final card. Information. Ted contacted
118
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.919
detective Bob Keppel from King County, Washington, offered to help
119
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.600
with the Green River killer case Gary Ridgeway, who was
120
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.360
murdering women in Seattle area. Ted said he could provide
121
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.879
insights into serial killer psychology help police catch an active killer.
122
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.480
Bob Keppel agreed, visited Ted on death row, interviewed him
123
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:08.679
for hours. Ted talked about criminal profiling, how serial killers
124
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:12.960
select victims, how they avoid detection. Gave useful information about
125
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:17.440
psychology and methods, But Keppel knew Ted was manipulating him,
126
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:23.120
trading information for validation, for attention, for feeling important. Ted
127
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.320
wasn't trying to help catch Gary Ridgeway. Ted was trying
128
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:32.399
to stay relevant. Still, Keppel learned things, patterns, tactics, insights
129
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:36.840
that helped develop better profiling techniques. The interviews weren't useless,
130
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:43.639
just came from a manipulative source. Then Ted started confessing slowly, strategically,
131
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.399
one murder at a time, each confession buying him attention,
132
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:52.919
media coverage, another reason to delay execution. While detectives verified information,
133
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.480
Ted confessed to murdering Linda Ann Healy in Washington. Provided
134
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.799
details only the killer would know where he dumped her remains,
135
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:06.039
what he did to her body. Detectives verified, case closed.
136
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:10.159
Confessed to killing Donna Gale Manson, George Enn Hawkins, Susan
137
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:16.200
Rancourt provided burial locations. Detectives found remains. Cases closed. Ted
138
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.440
enjoyed this controlled the pace, decided when to reveal information,
139
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:26.559
watching detectives react, watching families finally get answers, He fed
140
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.320
on their pain. Between nineteen eighty four and nineteen eighty nine,
141
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.879
Ted confessed to approximately thirty murders, but detectives believe the
142
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.960
real number was much higher, maybe fifty, maybe one hundred,
143
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:45.279
maybe more. Ted traveled constantly, lived in multiple states. Every
144
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.159
jurisdiction he visited had unsolved murders of young women, all
145
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:53.639
fitting his victim profile. All during his timeline, Ted refused
146
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:57.600
to confess to everything, said thirty was enough. Didn't want
147
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:01.279
to be remembered as the worst, wanted to maintained some mystery,
148
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.360
some control over his legacy. But as his execution date
149
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.440
approached in January nineteen eighty nine, Ted suddenly wanted to
150
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:14.000
confess to more. Had information about unsolved cases in multiple
151
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:18.039
states could help families find closure. All he needed was
152
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.840
more time. Investigators knew what he was doing, trading bodies
153
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.759
for delays, using dead women as bargaining chips, but they
154
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.279
wanted answers, wanted to close cases, wanted to give families peace,
155
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:38.360
so they flew to Florida, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, California.
156
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.159
Detectives from all over descended on Florida State Prison, ready
157
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.519
to listen to Ted, Bundy confessed to murder for his
158
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:49.399
final week of life. We'll be right back with Ted's
159
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:55.080
final confessions, the details that still haunt investigators, and his
160
00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:13.279
complete lack of remorse. January seventeenth, nineteen eighty nine, one
161
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.159
week before Ted Bundy's execution, death warrants signed by Governor
162
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:22.960
Bob Martinez. No more stays, no more delays. January twenty fourth,
163
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.080
at seven am, Ted would die in the electric chair.
164
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.279
Ted's attorneys made a final plea to the governor. Ted
165
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.799
had information about unsolved murders, could help close cases, give
166
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:38.200
families closure. All he needed was a stay of execution
167
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:44.200
while he provided details. Governor Martinez refused. Theodore Bundy used
168
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.720
murder to manipulate in life, He's using it to manipulate
169
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:52.720
in death. The execution will proceed as scheduled, but detectives
170
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.240
still wanted answers. Even if the governor wouldn't delay, they
171
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.000
could still interview Ted get whatever information he'd give before
172
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:04.480
he died. January eighteenth to twenty third, nineteen eighty nine,
173
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:08.159
detectives from seven states interviewed Ted for hours each day.
174
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:14.039
FBI agents present, psychologists present, everyone taking notes, recording everything
175
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:18.279
Ted confessed to murders he'd denied for years, provided details
176
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:23.639
that only the killer would know, burial locations, methods, timelines,
177
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.639
personal items he'd kept, his trophies some of the most
178
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:32.720
disturbing confessions in criminal history. Detective Bob Keppel from Washington
179
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:36.799
interviewed Ted about the Washington and Oregon murders. Ted confirmed
180
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:42.200
killing Linda Ann Healey, Donna Gale Manson, Susan Rancourt, Roberta Parks,
181
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:46.879
Brenda Ball, Georgian Hawkins, all the women who disappeared from
182
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:51.200
Seattle area in nineteen seventy four. Ted described his methods,
183
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.279
how he stalked them, learned their routines, waited for opportunities,
184
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:59.799
the fake cast, the fake crutches, the helpless nice guy routine,
185
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.679
How quickly women trusted him, how easy it was. He
186
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:09.039
described kidnapping them, driving to remote areas, secondary locations where
187
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.600
he could take his time, what he did to them,
188
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.840
how long they survived, how he killed them. Keppel asked
189
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:19.360
about disposal. Ted said he dumped most bodies in Tailor
190
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:24.440
Mountain area, dense forest, hard to find. He returned to
191
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.759
the dump site multiple times, had sex with the decomposing corpses,
192
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:33.200
applied makeup, to their faces so they looked alive, talked
193
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:38.120
to them, treated them like girlfriends. Eventually the bodies decomposed
194
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:42.399
too much. Ted took their heads, kept them in his apartment,
195
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.000
washed their hair, applied makeup, used them for sexual gratification.
196
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.360
When they decomposed further, he dumped them in the woods.
197
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:57.240
Detective Jerry Thompson from Utah interviewed Ted about the Utah murders.
198
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.840
Ted confessed to killing Melissa Smith, Laura Amy, Deborah Kent,
199
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.799
Nancy Wilcox. Said he killed Moore, but couldn't remember exact
200
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.240
numbers or names. They blurred together. He described the methods
201
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:17.679
same patterns, fake injuries, abductions, secondary locations, rape murder disposal.
202
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.159
Sometimes kept bodies for days before dumping them, had sex
203
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:27.039
with them, repeatedly treated them like possessions. Thompson asked about
204
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:30.600
Deborah Kent. Her body was never found. Ted said he
205
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.919
buried her in a remote area, but couldn't remember exactly where,
206
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:39.480
gave approximate location. Searchers never found remains. Deborah Kent's family
207
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.399
never got closure. Detective Mike Fisher from Colorado interviewed Ted
208
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.240
about the Colorado murders. Ted confessed to killing Karrn Campbell,
209
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:52.120
Julie Cunningham, Denise Oliverson, Shelley Robertson said there were more,
210
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.159
couldn't remember all the names. He described the ski resort murders,
211
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:01.120
easy hunting grounds, women traveling alone, vulnerable. He'd approach them
212
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:04.360
in parking lots, offered a help with luggage, walk them
213
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.120
toward their cars, abduct them, drive to remote cabins or
214
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:12.679
forest areas, keep them alive for hours, sometimes days, rape
215
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:16.799
them repeatedly, then kill them. Fisher asked why Ted kept
216
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:21.080
returning to some dump sites. Ted said, I needed them.
217
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.679
They were mine. I owned them, even after death, they
218
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:42.480
were mine. Detectives from California, Idaho, and Florida also interviewed Ted.
219
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:49.279
More confessions, more details, more horrors. Doctor Dorothy Lewis, psychiatrist,
220
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.919
interviewed Ted about his childhood, trying to understand what created him.
221
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:59.519
Ted blamed pornography, blamed dysfunctional family, blamed discovering he was
222
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:05.400
illegiti blamed society, everyone except himself. Doctor Lewis asked if
223
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:09.039
Ted felt remorse. He said yes, said he thought about
224
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:13.279
victims constantly, felt terrible about what he'd done, but his
225
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:18.440
affect was flat. No emotion, no tears, no genuine regret,
226
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:24.799
just words performance manipulation. Doctor Lewis concluded Ted was a psychopath,
227
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:30.160
incapable of genuine empathy, incapable of remorse. Everything he said
228
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.720
was calculated, designed to elicit specific responses to make people
229
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:38.599
see him how he wanted to be seen. Reverend Fred Lawrence,
230
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:43.559
evangelical pastor, also visited Ted daily. Ted claimed he'd found God,
231
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:48.759
become a Christian, been saved, asked for baptism. Lawrence baptized
232
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.079
him in the prison chapel. Media covered it. Some people
233
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.759
believed Ted's conversion was genuine, most didn't. January twenty third,
234
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.559
nineteen eighty nine, Ted's final interview with re Everen James
235
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.039
Dobson of Focus on the Family. Dobson wanted to discuss
236
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.880
pornography's role in Ted's crimes, give Ted a platform to
237
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:12.200
warn others about pornography's dangers. Ted obliged, talked about how
238
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:16.160
pornography corrupted him, made him violent, made him see women
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.039
2
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:19.359
