Ill be honest, I cant remember the exact title of it, but its the (pretty) new mini series / documentary about Bundy.

I was pretty ignorant on the guy. I knew the name, I knew he was a bad guy, but didnt know what all he did exactly.

This Netflix mini-series is 3 parts long, about an hour each.

I really liked it, a bit fascinating how many times he almost got caught, how many times he escaped etc

I watched it last week in the gym and was pretty intrigued by it.

One thing of note I that we all, myself included, give the government for being heavy handed and invasive in what they want to know. But it was absolutely evident that Bundy was able to kill dozens of women because Dept A couldn’t talk to Dept B. He literally left a trail of bodies along is route and all the whole each new area had no idea anything was happening.

So yes, he was a sort of evil genius. But law enforcement being ignorant of anything outside of their own specific jurisdiction was fatal.

So the murders took place in the mid 70s, his trial very early 80s, and then his execution the end of the 80s. I was 8.
So I didnt know much about him and was really interested in how he evaded LEO for so long and the drama dealing with his court case.

I found it wild that his girlfriend even called the cops, he matched all the information given so far (name, description, car, and suspicious behavior), but they did NOTHING.

And if he'd have kept his mouth shut at trial he might have gotten off. But he was too occupied 'getting off' on hearing about what he had done.

Just a wild story - two escapes, three dozen killed, and, somehow, he still managed to get married and start a family while on deathrow...hell, I cant get a girlfriend for more than 6 months!

Fo’real...

And another thing...he was able to travel around, go to all these schools, do all this stuff, but it never really looked like he worked anywhere. His family wasn’t rich, so they weren’t sending him cash. So I kept wondering how someone is able to just bust out of jail and go flying all over the country. Or just pick up and move to a new state.

I think what also stands out is if you put him beside all of the other mass murderers he does come across as the handsome boy next door that you want your daughters to hang out with. Not like a Gacy, Manson, Ed Gein kinda thing.

I had said something about that while it was on - but it stated he had stolen a bunch of credit cards the second time he broke out.
Now, before that - not sure, good point

Did they include the letters to his father from prison?

Briefly (we know you... lol), are they confession letters or what?

No. They are discussions of a worldview which led him to feel justified in what he did. He had (as you may be aware) been converted, and wrote his dad concerning a world view which denies we are anything but matter. It is fascinating as it is record of a (self admitted) monster who denies nothing, nor attempts to justify anything he did, nor attempts to BLAME his dad, yet appeals to him that the world view they once shared is the natural spawning ground for murder. In essence, Bundy tries to evangelize his father.
