It began with a Volkswagen driving through a quiet Salt Lake City neighborhood with its headlights turned off. What one highway patrol officer discovered inside the car would become part of a trail leading to one of America's most notorious killers.
Ted Bundy did not look like the monster people expected.
Ted Bundy did not look like the monster people expected.
He was educated, articulate, confident, and capable of appearing completely ordinary. Behind that carefully maintained image, however, young women were disappearing, investigators were struggling to connect cases across state lines, and a growing trail of clues was moving closer to him.
Ted Bundy: The Man Behind the Smile follows the case from the suspicious traffic stop and the strange objects discovered inside Bundy's Volkswagen to the survivor who escaped him, the police lineup that identified him, the Colorado murder case, two extraordinary escapes from custody, the violence that followed in Florida, and the traffic stop that finally ended the hunt.
It also examines the remarkable contradictions that surrounded Bundy: the psychology student who studied law, the accused killer who defended himself in court, the fugitive who repeatedly slipped through the hands of authorities, and the condemned man whose televised trials turned him into a national obsession.
How did investigators come so close to him and still lose him?
How did an ordinary-looking Volkswagen become one of the most important threads in the case?
And how did a man suspected of such extraordinary violence continue convincing people that he was harmless?
Told in a detailed investigative storytelling style, this book retraces the clues, witnesses, mistakes, escapes, trials, and final capture that exposed the disturbing life hidden behind Ted Bundy's familiar smile.
