Ted Bundy’s ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Kendall and her daughter have come forward with unsettling new details which will come out in a new Amazon documentary next year.
Titled Ted Bundy: Falling For A Killer, will include harrowing interviews with Elizabeth Kendall (also known by the last name Kloepfer) and her daughter Molly as they discuss what made Bundy have such an intense hold over women.
Bundy attacked and murdered many young women in the early 70s, eventually being executed for his crimes in 1989.
The new documentary will stream as a five-part docuseries where both Elizabeth and her daughter open up about their experiences with new unsettling details about Bundy, the inconceivable pull he had on women, and an abundant archive of never-before-seen family photos.
Along with the duo, Falling for a Killer will feature women who survived being Bundy’s attacks, including some coming forward with their stories for the first time.
The docuseries is timed to debut with an updated edition of Elizabeth Kendall’s 1981 memoir, The Phantom Prince: My Life With Ted Bundy.
The serial killer first met Elizabeth in 1969 while he was studying psychology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, where she worked as a secretary.
The couple first met in a bar, with Elizabeth quickly falling for Ted, who helped her raise her daughter Tina.
They remained together during the early 1970’s, which is the time when he had committed many of his crimes.
Speaking to journalists while in prison he spoke about how much he loved her, saying: ‘I was terribly jealous of her. I used to agonize about losing her. I used to just torture myself.’
Elizabeth first went to the county police to report her suspicions about Bundy being connected with a spate of young women disappearing in the Washington area.
She stayed with him during this time but didn’t tell him about her reports to the police, she even planned to visit him after his move to Utah.
The couple later discussed marriage, despite Bundy starting a relationship with divorced mother of two Carole Ann Boone, who Elizabeth didn’t know about.
Following his initial arrest, Elizabeth was interviewed by the police and she gave more details about her suspicions, and she also helped them determine that Bundy wasn’t with her at any of the times that the murders were committed.
Despite the evidence being built around Ted Bundy for kidnapping charges, he remained close with Elizabeth and lived in her house while he was on bail.
She released her memoirs about her time spent with the serial killer in 1981 called The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy. It was one of the final times that she has spoken publicly about her relationship with Bundy.
Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer launches on Amazon in 2020.
