While Ted Bundy appeared to be quite normal to most people, this certainly can’t be said about Ed Gein. His final manipulative attempt didn’t work out and he was executed the day after in Florida’s electric chair. In his final interview, he blamed his early exposure to pornography and invited a renowned critic of the matter in an ultimate effort to avoid the death penalty. He fired his lawyer during his murder trial in Florida and even though he wasn’t a qualified lawyer, took on his defense. It’s this duality that makes Ted Bundy one of the scariest serial killers of all. Yet, he had a secret life in which he was a ruthless killer and took the life of dozens of young girls and women. He studied law, had a job in a radio station while in college, joined the republican party, and had a girlfriend.
What’s striking about Bundy, and what puts him into an entirely different category in itself, is that he appeared to be very normal on the surface. Ted Bundy was arguably one of the most deranged people that has ever lived.
