@@Romulan2469 Yes but Dobson is stepping on eggshells. They both know that he is finished so you would think that Dobson had no reasons to be smooth and gentle but I think his aim was to try to get a sense of humanity in Bundy but to no avail because he knew Bundy was far beyond twisted and deranged. So this interview is pointless right from the start but we still get something from it...
He's remembering everyone of those women he killed. He loved every minute of it and when he was still alive he thought about them all the time. I don't care what anyone says a murderer is born. @@MrMickao
Dr Dobson was using Ted to promote his anti pornography speech and Ted was using Dobson to promote pornography as the ultimate cause of his actions and to attempt to rebuild his credibility. It was an interesting, although useless interview. I would have much prefered a grilling for Ted. Dobson treated this monster with far too much respect.
Being rude isn’t gonna get him talking that might feel good to do but it’s not gonna get him talking so what’s the point? So u can go off an feel good an he can say nothing?
@@laurenhoffmann2839 I never said the interviewer should be rude to Ted. What I meant was that he should have been pinned down on the specifics of his crimes, locations of remains, the triggers for his actions etc but with them dangling a carrot saying maybe if they get the right answers they would talk to governor Martinez about a last minute stay of execution, which is what Ted wanted. If you play it smart, you can make any narcissist psychopath open up if you dangle a carrot in front of them. He was allowed to ramble on and turn this into a blame pornography speech. The only real good question Dobson asked was about Kimberly Leach and Ted didn't want to answer that but Dobson should have pressed harder out of respect of the families of the victims.
Well he was scared to die. I'm sure every woman he ever killed was also afraid to die. He gave them no choice. And with many of his victims he did the unthinkable with them after they have died. He never cared about how scared they was when he was killing them and at his end he was scared. But he died in a humane way. His victims didn't.
One thing I'd have asked to Bundy is "In what sort of neighbourhood did you grow up ?" To which he'd have replied something nice and easy to hear like "The neighbourhood was ideal for a child. It was a very Christian neighbourhood and very quiet". Then I'd have asked to him : "How come could you find so much violent pornographic magasines in the bins of such a quiet and Christian neighbourhood ?" What he says doesn't always add up if you piece it together carefully.
Children didn't stay in their own neighborhoods in the 70s. I know we didn't even in the '90s. They were in local grocery stores very easily available. I understand you're point, but it wouldn't have worked on him. The answer was "outside of the home"
The realisation that he has finally lost control of the narrative frustrates & annoys him. However Ted enjoys playing the audience & this Doctor (mind games) He was never no innocent
If you compare this interview with how he behaved at the Garfield County Jail where he was all arrogant and cocky and smiling all the time, knowing that he was about to escape against what we see here it's hard to realize that this was the same person. That's how adept this chameleon was at fooling people.
I’d have tried to trick Bundy by asking to him what he’d say to himself if he could go back in times just minutes before his first murder ? Maybe he’d have replied something like « I’d tell him to stay at school and not to roam the streets in search of pornographic magazines » That’d have given a clue as to when he perpetrated his first murder.
Ted knew how to play the part to win people over. He was a highly deceptive and dangerous psychopath. It explains why so many of his victims may have fallen for his charm.
I saw a lot of documentaries about the case, about him. So, i was very interested in one of the last interviews. But Dobson came with an agenda (pornography is evil) and Bundy made proud use of it. Telling the people nothing and taking no responsibility at all. It's hard to watch. It gives you no insight at all. And saying that he was sorry for the victims is BS. Look at the behavior panel and this interview. No remorse just manipulation.
@@danieljackson4511 I was interested in closure for a lot of families. He kept playing cat and mouse games, even with the detectives. Dobson came with an agenda and Bundy tried to use this as a life extend. The interviews and discussion with Dr. Carlisle where much more interesting about a real research in Bundy's motives and what drove him to the killings. I think 5% in this interview came a bit in that direction. I did like the psychologists who analyzed this interview, that came to the conclusion that he used Dobson's agenda and manipulated again.
Well, you aren't necessarily your brain disorder, and he's explaining what went on. He's good at understanding what he did was bad, which a sociopath would be inclined to say, but a psychopath would be different.
He had no remorse whatsoever and used this interview as a final jab at society (blaming pornography; plenty of people look at pornography as teenagers and don't go on to murder 30-100+ women in 7-10 states). And James Dobson (who also advocates electroshock therapy for homosexuals) used this to further his own agenda and had a more than willing pawn to help him try to do that. Also a very desperate pawn, as right up until the very end, he was grasping at straws to try and buy more time. Sadly, I remember reading Anne Rule's book 20+ years ago, where she talks about teenage girls seeing this video and writing to her about how sad they were that such a "good man" had been killed.... And in many ways, even now that 35 years have passed, he still wins because people who were not even alive in 1989 (or even 1999) think he is an attractive and sympathetic figure...I remember when my (much) younger sister and I were talking about Zac Efron and "Iron Claw" and the conversation turned to his role in "Extremely Wicked." My sister didn't know that, after abducting you, that this monster had attempted to abduct a music and drama teacher before ultimately killing another girl. That is why your videos and your story are so important. Thank you. I bet he wasn't reading pornography when he was 3 years old and putting knives in his aunt's bed while she slept...or watching his grandfather abuse dogs and cats, for that matter.
My Mum was shocked at this mans violence and the hate he had towards ladies etc And my Mum lived through the 2nd world war as a child experiencing the blitz and " doodle bugs" being dropped over from the Germans? ( petrol driven machine with bomb that would run out of petrol and whistle as it dropped any time of day or night) and would remember Dunkirk ( my Mum a strong no no nonsense person) and would talk about my Grandad fighting along side the Americans on D day? ( she has nothing but respect for the fact that America changed the course of the war) but i never saw her get upset as she did about Bundy! Much love from the UK
Intresting. Surprised to leave this comment. Perhaps for those experts by their own experience. Alot easier an outsider looking in of course although a family victim of most horrid crime 2 children. The act of the crime says alot about the individual giving some insight into just how evil minded a human being can become. No doubt just like myself family victim's watching this last interview would feel nothing for Ted Bundys act of adnittence if to call it that. As humans we are not programed to feel compassion towards a serial voilent killer. That been said although part of me hates to admit it, Ted bundy has given more than the majority of victims recieve. Sadly. A hole in the soul driven by obsession compulsion to want more only much more sever in its nature. Perhaps more research funding into not just statistics but better treatment options available to minamise harm risk to communities. Never a solution without understanding the problem first. Who ever volunteers the job good luck! My thoughts with the families. The message.
"Fuels your fantasies"... instead of "my" "You're at the verge"... instead of "I'm" "You reach the point"...instead of "I" I wonder what statement analysts would say about that.
I asked on another video. Did 5:24 Ted Bundy ever have a job? I'm not talking about school. I'm talking about any job where he worked to earn money. But not tied to school. I think he never had a paying job in his life. Am I right? Did he earn a salary or earn an hourly wage. Did he do manual labor ever in his life? I'm betting not.
I think he earned from working campaigns for different Republicans in Washington but, definitely held two government jobs. One already mentioned by the first reply and the other, he was Director at Crime Prevention Advisory Commission for the Washington where he was responsible for making pamphlets to prevent sexual assault. Important positions, high salaries and makes it even creepier.
All these years and studies on Bundy and still the question is the same, was he born this way or was he made into this person? I've done literal years, upon years of research of any and all kinds on this man. Ive read books, ive watched many interviews and dug into the psychology. It frustrates me beyond belief. I have such empathy for the women, the victims, including Daronch, and i want to know how can women be safe or avoid a person like this. Im curious from Daronch herself, what her belief is. I just read "phantom prince" by Liz Kendall and i think shes DELUSIONAL, he showed her 100 red flags. This point can dig deep into the psyche. Does it really matter though? Why dont these people show their true self to those closest to them?
This interview of Bundy reminds me very much that of David Berkowitz (son of Sam) by Maury Terry. In both cases it's a cat and mouse game where the mouse has the best possible card in its hands. Life sentence for Berkowitz and Death sentence for Bundy. They had nothing to lose. Neither Terry or Dobson could possibly win and they both lost because they both behaved like cops interrogating a suspect. They both failed to create a safe environment. The only thing they could or should have focused on was to try getting clues about unsolved murders with Bundy and names with Berkowitz.
Dobson's heart was in the right place, but he was way out of his depth here. If his prime reference point was Only Living Witness, he was already behind the 8-ball because OLW only covered the celebrity of Ted, not his psyche.
I wasxin 6th or 7th grade when this aired and my mother wouldn't let me watch it ... Its not like i hadn't already read the details of Bundy's crime in her true crime books, lol. Had to wait until i was in my twenties to first see the interview
Do people still believe in the death penalty instead of keeping men/women kept in prison as punishment and to reflect on what they have done as their punishment.
Gross that this org is co-opting an SKers last interview to support their agenda. I've seen this interview more than once and TB is clearly avoiding responsibility by blaming his actions on porn and alcohol. He would have been an SKer regardless of those things. TB could just never stomach others seeing him for the monster he was.
