21. The Macabre Groupie Who Creeped Out Ted Bundy

Serial killer and necrophile, Ted Bundy, kidnapped, assaulted, and murdered dozens of girls and young women across America. He sometimes revisited his dead victims and had his carnal way with their decomposing corpses. Before he was executed in 1989, Bundy confessed to 30 homicides, but the true number of his victims is unknown and is probably much higher. Yet, despite the horrific and macabre nature of his crimes – not least of them the doing the deed with rotting cadavers bit – there was no shortage of women who threw themselves at him. A handsome man, he had innumerable groupies who flocked to his trial. He even got married and fathered a daughter while on death row.

One of them, named Janet, was so obsessive that she even creeped out Ted “Likes-Sex-With-Decomposing-Corpses” Bundy. She had previously written him a fan letter, and when he responded, she was overjoyed. She wrote back: “I kissed (the letter) all over and held it to me. I don’t mind telling you I am crying. I just don’t see how I can stand it anymore. I love you so very much, Ted“. She sat in the courtroom and ogled him so intensely that he told his lawyers that he thought she wanted to wear his skin. As he put it: “There she sits contemplating me with her mad eyes like a deranged seagull studying a clam. I can feel her spreading hot sauce on me already“.

A lifelong history buff, I developed a particular passion for WW2 history as a child, when I spent hours listening to my grandfather, enraptured, as he recounted his wartime experiences in the British East African Campaign and with the British 8th Army in North Africa.

I graduated with a history BA from George Mason University, then went on to get a JD from the University of Virginia School of Law. After lawyering for a decade, I moved to sunny Rio de Janeiro and a less demanding career, opening a tourism agency in Copacabana.

A big chunk of my free time is spent blogging (you can follow me on Quora https://www.quora.com/profile/Khalid-Elhassan ) or freelance writing, mostly about my favorite subject, history.
