I wonder how much quicker he would’ve been captured had his murders taken place in modern times using modern technologies.

I’m only 3 episodes in but so far it’s been great.  I thought I knew the major plot lines of his story and it turns out I didn’t know shit.  I wonder how much quicker he would’ve been captured had his murders taken place in modern times using modern technologies.

This was recommended to me, I'll have to check it out. I've been streaming the "Murder Mountain" show-thing. It's obvious that they try to paint a shitty picture of Humboldt.

Not a bad watch though, and to be honest, it isn't going to stop me from trimming there this year.

I'm watching some of the old Trailer Park Boys episodes now.

I’m nearly through this series too, and I spent a while wondering the exact same thing.  The part where he escapes for the second time and they pick him up in Tallahassee and had absolutely no clue who he was for a while blew my mind.  These days they’d know in minutes.  And the fact that he was able to get away just by jumping out of a window when he was in an unattended court room.  Crazy. 

Good series though, very interesting case study.  It’s fascinating how they could only get him to talk about the murders in the third person, like he believed he hadn’t done it and couldn’t physically bring himself to talk about it as though he had.  That’s made doubly interesting by the fact that he obviously was proud of his killings and relished hearing about it all.  Hella narcissism, but also like compartmentalized personalities.  And at one point he implies that he had over 100 victims, but there’s obviously a lot of lying and false bravado going on with Ted Bundy.

No doubt today they would have nabbed him earlier... fingerprints were manual, no fax, just a phone.  Bundy was top 10 Fbi most wanted..... they only had to remeber fuckin 10 people.... but that was too much for them.  It’s sad.

I probably look into these things more than most because I have this fantasy of hunting one of these humans and putting them in the fuckin freezer..  look at Richard Ramirez interviews, he speaks in third person too.  It’s so they can brag and relive the situation without self convicting.  The appeals are what keep them alive,,,stretch out the appeals.

Watch the point in the court room where Bundy himself cross examines the florida cop first in the sorority house... watch Bundy’s behavior when he’s doing that.  It seems so obvious, he looney tunes a disguise like bugs bunny when he has to stand in the line up?  They say he was exceptionally smart, maybe, but I see it more as shit game on the part of the authorities.  In my eyes Bundy was uncomfortably akward, second hand embarassment type of akward.  Ever see some give a speech and have a panic attack, next thing you know you’re having a little bit of one?  Akwardly clumsey...

Hell of a story though.  I question some of the accuracies because in that docu they say his parents were part of the “have nots” whereas I’ve read before he came from a pretty wealthy set of parents.  I don’t know which is right.

I can also use confirmed facts to build a pretty solid case that he was a CIA operative.  It would explain why a random arrestee would receive television attention like “who is this ya’ll?” when his face is distinct and has been posted on bulletin board on the top 10 most wanted list as well as been on tv for all the previous heat.. just can’t figure out who this man is, hella conundrum.

Anyways, good series.  I’ve watched it twice so far..
