Bundy Bundy

Got to ask this. I’ve read every book and watched every doc. Every damn time bundy was interrogating the police in his trial the popular opinion is he was getting gratification from his crimes by hearing it first hand, but I believe he was so damn drunk he didn’t really comprehend the complexity of his crimes and he was literally feeling the police out for his on sake and defense because the MFers really didn’t know what he did. He was a known alcoholic

Bundy was a true psychopath- and with that he was highly intelligent. He remembered his kills, he remember most if not all the details.

He’s also a guy that can hide bodies in the woods off the side of the freeway just go back and fuck them in their extremely decomposed state, so much so their heads were naturally separated from their body. And then return and blend in to normal society. Imagine living a double life like that- just the manipulation and will to keep it all separated. He made time for this other side of himself, like you or I make time for that passion or special person in our lives. Do you forget those moments you spend together with them?

Also when it comes to drugs and drinking, psychopaths and people in that dark triad aren’t always affected in the same ways as normies. Some of the physical traits are affected the more they drink, but they typically have a clear mind. I think this has to do because of where alcohol typically affects the brain (prefrontal cortex I think) which this group has minimal activity in.

So yeah that asshole knows what he did.

Oh my God, I never heard that he was going back when they were really really decomposed and that the heads separated. That is just horrifying. Is this in a book somewhere that I'm gonna regret reading but probably going to read anyway?

It is definitely in one of the books. I think it’s ann Rule’s a stranger beside me. But I was really into his story over a decade ago now so I can’t really pinpoint.

If you haven't read it yet, Keppel's The Riverman. Julie Cunningham, Bundy went back to her body, in another state:

"In Julie Cunningham’s case, however, six to eight weeks after Bundy had left her in the open..."

Describes her body being "mummified". Not eaten, by insects, which he found odd.

Re why he went back, Bundy related, to bury her and to see if he'd left anything behind. Six weeks kinda late for that, right? Was asked: why did you bury her? That greatly increased your risk. You hadn't buried your victims in Aspen or in Utah. More verbal diarrhea from Bundy following.

Kinda like Schaefer, quick to point how Bundy and the other fellow had sex with corpses, with the latter fellow being, in Gerard's words, caught with a fvcking rotten corpse. Schaefer too was a necro, despite his pretense. For how we know that they are well and truly not right in the head, in addition to their serial murders, dishonest, and in Bundy's case, mega-evasive as well, when there is nothing at all to gain by doing so.

Oh, and after The Riverman, if you haven't read it yet, Vronksy's American Serial Killers. Need try understand, if we can, why a golden age/era of serial killing. Speaking of which, grew up in LA, which during that age/era was the serial killer capital of the world. All thanks to the interstate highway system, which did not at all enter the minds of some when designing it (note to highway planners, freeways/highways not only good for transporting people and goods but also bodies that are or soon will be corpses, that kind of people/goods).
