There is a hunt for Ted Bundy's car at Lake Sammamish... In my book, The Bundy Murders: A Comprehensive History, I include a photograph of a VW parked in the front row of cars at Lake Sammamish on Sunday, July 14, 1974. Behind the car is a line of police vehicles blocking it, as they dealt with a problem pertaining to a biker gang that was taking place close to where the car was parked. The photo appears to have been taken in the afternoon, … [Read more...]
My Scoutmaster the Sadist
For those of you who are familiar with my work, you know that I mostly write about murder. All kinds of murder. From the serial killer who preys on young females, to the son who goes berserk and destroys his parents, to the mothers who for no apparent reason, slaughter their offspring. Unfathomable crimes that often cause the normal mind to temporarily short-circuit. And very often, sadism goes hand-in- hand with homicide. But not all sadism … [Read more...]
Continuing to Explore the Ted Murders
Several months ago, my third book on the life and murders of Ted Bundy was released. Having written a trilogy of books on the killer, consisting of some 600 pages, I stated that The Bundy Secrets: Hidden Files on America’s Worst Serial Killer, would be my last contribution to the Bundy saga in book form, and so it was. But I also started that periodically, as I learned new information about the Ted murders, I would be writing about it in … [Read more...]

Why THE BUNDY SECRETS?
THE BUNDY SECRETS: Hidden Files Of America's Worst Serial Killer, is a book that every person interested in Ted Bundy should have, and here’s why: When I was researching and writing my biography of Ted Bundy, The Bundy Murders: A Comprehensive History, my primary sources were interviews I conducted with those involved with the case, and the thousands of pages I’d obtained directly from the official case files. And I remember thinking, as I was … [Read more...]
Why the Fascination with Ted Bundy?
It’s true; Ted Bundy is different from all other serial killers. It’s not that he’s more evil or callus than the rest of that diabolical lot. It’s just that when you look at him, at his appearance and demeanor, and what he’d accomplished and where he was going, he just doesn’t fit the mold of a cold-blooded killer. But it isn’t just how he appeared on the outside that both fascinate, and yes, startles, but what he did while committing … [Read more...]
My Association with Postmortem Ted Bundy
True Crime author Kevin Sullivan Reflects On His Connection To A Serial Killer This piece was previously published with a typo that mis-dated the below picture of Ted Bundy at 1984, when he would have been in prison in Florida. According to Kevin Sullivan, the picture below was taken in 1975 or 1976 in Utah. Ted Bundy was never supposed to be a part of my life. I’d first heard about the guy after his escape from Colorado, and I remember … [Read more...]
Recording History While We Can
When I was a teenager, my father said he wanted to introduce me to a man who went by the nickname of “Irish”. He was originally from Ireland, my father explained, but he'd joined the Canadian Army and fought the Germans in the First World War. Prior to our meeting, dad told me some of the stories Irish told him about fighting in the trenches, especially about the Battle of Vimy Ridge in France in April 1917. Being a voracious reader of military … [Read more...]

Saying Goodbye to Real Evidence
Saying Goodbye to Real Evidence Most folks who’ve read (or will read) my book on serial sex killer, Ted Bundy, have no idea that it was an odd fluke the book was written in the first place. It wasn’t a biography I was intending to write, and in fact, in my mind, there wasn't any reason to be writing anything about this dead killer. For me, there wasn't any real connection, except that I would talk about him occasionally with my friend, James … [Read more...]
