How Was Ted Bundy Caught? He Was on the Run for Over a Month

In Conversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, Bundy describes one of his last days as a free man. “That day in Pensacola [Florida] had been one of the best I’d spent,” he said. “I’d gone to the ocean, laid on the beach. I remember saying to myself that day, ‘Boy you’ve got it whipped.’ This is the way to start out 1978, laying on the beach.”

Maybe Bundy knew his days were numbered and was soaking up as much as he could. Perhaps he just didn’t care.
