4. Ted Bundy
Ted Bundy keeps with the criminal tradition of making a confession right before death. Days before his execution, Bundy sat down for an interview with Detective Robert D. Keppel. The serial killer went into detail about he killed and dismembered victim Georgeann Hawkins.
While on death row, Bundy spoke a lot to Keppel to help him understand the mind of a serial killer. But before he spoke so openly with Keppel he made one last plea to try to maintain innocence: “I’ll tell you, as long as they attempt to keep their heads in the sand about me, there’s gonna be people turning up in canyons and there are gonna be people being shot in Salt Lake City. Because the police there aren’t willing to accept what I think they know and they know that I didn’t do these things.”
Before his final arrest, Bundy had managed to escape from prison and kill again. His good looks and manipulation even pulled the wool over the eyes of the police in that escape.
In 1989 Bundy was finally executed. He didn’t pull any punches before the very end, telling Keppel: “I think I stand as much chance of dying in front of a firing squad or in a gas chamber as you do being killed on a plane flight home. Let’s hope you don’t.”
