Before Ted Bundy was subject to the electric chair, he had the privilege of requesting a final meal.
But his final request was described as “dull” and he didn’t end up eating his food…
Read on to find out more…
During the spring and summer of 1974, an epidemic was sweeping the Pacific Northwest.
Women at colleges across Washington and Oregon were disappearing at an alarming rate, and the police had no idea who was behind it.
6 women had vanished without a trace, many having been abducted in broad daylight.
Understandably, the panic was rife in the area.
A young, very attractive man with dark hair, his arm in a sling, driving a brown Volkswagen Beetle was the suspect…
And he went by the name of Ted Bundy.
This handsome and intelligent man didn’t exactly fit the profile of the typical crazed serial killer…
But, behind the charm and good looks, Bundy was an incredibly dangerous man.
While studying psychology at the University of Washington — which many experts predict would have helped him understand ways to isolate and manipulate his victims…
Bundy began his reign of terror.
He would either sneak into their homes at night or lure them into his car.
Bundy developed a technique of approaching women while wearing a cast or appearing otherwise disabled and asking them to help him put something in his car.
He would bludgeon them unconscious before binding, r*ping, and killing them, and then dumping their bodies in a remote location in the woods.
Some reports state that he would return to the woods to engage in necrophilic acts with the corpses.
Bundy wasn’t actually arrested until October 1975.
The events that followed are almost too ridiculous to be true: Bundy was convicted of kidnapping and was sentenced in June 1976. He managed to escape a year later by jumping out of a second-story courthouse window but was recaptured 6 days later. And he then escaped from prison by cutting through a hole in the ceiling on December 30, 1977.
A police officer noticed Bundy driving erratically on February 15, 1978, and pulled him over, discovering that his Volkswagen Beetle was stolen.
More importantly, he also found Bundy in the possession of the IDs of several women.
After nearly a decade of violent murders against innocent women…
Bundy was finally captured for good.
And, throughout his ensuing trial, Bundy sabotaged himself by ignoring the advice of his lawyers and taking charge of his own defense…
He unnerved even those assigned to work with him. “I would describe him being as close to being like the devil as anyone I ever met,” said defense investigator Joseph Aloi.
Bundy was finally executed by the electric chair on January 24, 1989.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the courthouse to celebrate his death.
But before he was executed…
It has been reported that the serial killer ordered a dull final meal prior to his death.
Bundy opted for a standard-issue final meal of steak, eggs, hash browns, and toast.
This was because he refused to choose his own final meal.
But once the food was plated and was sat in front of him…
Bundy didn’t touch his food and died with an empty stomach.
He was given the electric chair at 7:16 am.
His final words to his attorneys, Jim Coleman, and Methodist minister Fred Lawrence were, “Jim and Fred, I’d like you to give my love to my family and friends.”
