Ex-girlfriend of Ted Bundy speaks up in new documentary
The new Oxygen documentary, Violent Minds: Killers on Tape, which is set to be released on April 2, features Sandy, an ex-girlfriend of Ted Bundy, revealing her past experiences with the serial killer.
Sandy, who only identified herself by her first name, was a college student in the 60s when she dated Bundy. Dr Al Carlisle, who interviewed numerous criminals, including Bundy, spoke to Sandy about her experience with the serial killer, which she had never discussed publicly before.
The documentary also features Dr Carlisle’s never before heard tapes of his interviews with Bundy.
Sandy recounts the horrifying incident of Bundy attempting to drown her on a picnic date by the river. She said that he held her underwater for almost a minute and laughed as he did so.
She also claims that Bundy enjoyed choking her during sex, which frightened her. According to Dr Carlisle, Sandy’s recollection was one of the “first indications” that Bundy was “getting violent”.
Discovery of the tapes after Dr Carlisle’s death
The tapes were discovered only after Dr Carlisle’s death in 2018 and will be made public for the first time in the documentary. Dr Carlisle’s assistant, Carrie Anne Drazewski-Keller, reveals some of the ‘shocking’ discoveries they made while listening to the tapes.
She noted that Bundy’s depravity was not fully expressed to the public during his killing spree. She also mentioned that Bundy was a necrophiliac, and that he was a ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ character.
Bundy appeared as a ‘super great guy’ but transformed into a ‘terrible monster’ after his victims were dead. Dr Carlisle wanted to understand what would drive someone to take such a dark path and believed that everyone was good.
Bundy’s evaluation and confession
Dr Carlisle evaluated Bundy after he was arrested on kidnap charges in 1975. He spent about 20 hours with Bundy on a psychological assessment and believed he was much more dangerous.
After two murder trials, Bundy would confess on death row in 1989 to taking the lives of at least 30 women across the country from Washington to Florida.
He never revealed where his victims were buried, which caused more heartache for families. Experts believe he could have killed as many as 100 people.
