@@jesser73 hearing them talk of the green river killer, Gary Ridgeway, and knowing how many years that he still had in anonymity is just awful. I remember feeling like he'd just never be found.
I tell my children if a grown adult, especially a grown adult man, asks them to help him, run the other way. Grown people should not be asking children for their assistance
Bundy was asking grown women for help, not children. I agree with your advice to your children but it is possible that the other 99.99% of men who might ask for help with something from a youngster are actually innocently asking for help.
56:20...The judge said he didn’t have any animosity toward him !... I wonder if he would have said that if one of his own would have been a victim. Just goes to show how charming the monster was. What a thing to say.
You have to remember Ted could have been a lawyer/politician and there would be many fellow sociopaths in those fields who could relate and sympathize with him
thanks for posting this. i haven’t seen most of the content. that poor dark haired mother..he life is ruined, she’s turned to substances to deal. heartbreaking.
Agree. IMHO the sexual revolution as portrayed through media set off something in some men that made them killers. They all appear to have derived pleasure from reading about their acts in newspapers. It’s sick.
@@budderkupp1282 Exactly. They don’t even have to actually sexually assault their victims for it to still be sexually motivated. BTK never raped his victims (he thought that was somehow “taking it too far”) but his killings were for sexual reasons. He wanted to visually see his fantasies come to life, which is why he would then pose them & take photos, or would dress up & reenact his victims poses himself.
@@budderkupp1282 There was a study awhile back that showed the human adrenal system can't tell the difference between the stimulus of imminent danger & sexual excitement. I wonder if this phenomenon is a variety of that response. i.e. they learn to trigger that response via murders & become addicted to the adrenal pop they get from it.
It is eerie how engaging Ed Kemper is to listen to. You find yourself genuinely liking the guy even knowing the atrocities he committed. Easy to see how he gained the trust of so many victims.
@@joerocha510 Yeah, it's just spooky. Being someone who knows his story, and knows what he is capable of. Yet you kind of "like" him. Just makes one less confident in their "psycho radar".
@Adam Murphy yeah he comes off like your bro or best friend, not like a menace or psychotic buffaloe bill for character . He even was friends with the cops task on catching him.
Ed came off that way to police too. He used to drink with them in a bar opposite the Cop Shop. They called him Big Ed. John Douglas was talking about cooperation between police agencies in the USA. It has never become a reality. There are still many small town Sheriffs and city police agencies who refuse to submit crime figures to the National Database. They also refuse to cooperate with other agencies as happened with many murders only one county apart due to county rivalries
@@meredithisme3752 There are clinical psychopaths that lead normal & successful lives, according to societal norms. But there's something there that can easily go drastically off the rails. I wouldn't say wired wrong but certainly different.
No APPARENT motive. In like 98% of murders, it's a friend, jealous spouse, someone trying to get an insurance pay off, someone trying to rip someone off in a drug deal, or a rivel gang member. If some girl is found in a ditch, killed by a complete stranger, there's no APPARENT motive the police can use to id a suspect. When Joseph DeAngelo (the golden state killer) murdered Lyman and Charlene Smith, they arrested, charged one of Lyman Smith's buisness partner that he ripped off in a land deal, because almost ALWAYS, there's a clear motive for the killing.
Yeah to this day I still find Bundy to be fascinating. He was smart and good looking and was an expert at reading people. The problem is it’s very difficult if we can believe half of what he says . I bet he doesn’t even know why he killed those women or why the need was there in the first place
@@annthomson5648he had to have been abused somehow. Or he just felt alienated and alone in some way, which was clearly the main reason for Jeffrey Dahmer's killings. And thats scary cause i feel alienated and alone every day myself, but i try to think most people do and one day ill have someone to love. Thats also the reason Ed Kemper killed, his lack of success with women and his bad relationship with his mom. But if he had an attractive girlfriend he very likely wouldnt have killed at all.
@annthomson5648 His childhood was weird for sure...taught to think of his grandfather as his father and his mother as his sister. I have read several books on watched dozens of videos on Bundy and not once did the subject of abuse come up.
I think it may be, in part growing up with mother as his sister (the shame of an illegitimate birth) & his grandparents as his parents ... then his mother married, moving away taking young Ted with her.@@JackTheSkunk
A truly haunting documentary I haven't seen in decades. This is one of the best doc's on Ted Ive ever seen, and Ive seen a lot. I'm now a subscriber to your channel hoping for more quality documentary's on anything if this is your standard?
Request for more like this. Psychopaths confessing letting us get into their minds. I love to learn about people like my father and it makes studying True Crime enlightening on a whole another level.
So , what your really saying is your pop's got shot by a swat team after he held your mom and you hostage for three days straight tweeking on meth but now that you're a bit older you like to romanticize your pop's by comparing him to one of the More famous American Looney tunes of yor . Please tell me I'm wrong.
35:55 I don’t get how they say he was an “unlikely suspect.” The guy was a psycho, you can tell it by looking at his crazy expressions. A failure in school with visions of grandeur, a loner, grew up thinking his mom was his sister and his grandma was his mom. He’s a pretty likely suspect. Also where does this handsome thing come from? He looks like a total creep. He’s actually the guy I’d first suspect of something creepy.
Yep agree totally,wonder if the law enforcement that let him escape twice faced any real consequences? Or for that matter washington state law enforcement who had him on a short list of suspects,wonder if any one peaked in his vw and thought it odd it didn't have a passenger seat? That alone should have moved him to the top of the list. Bundys the monster but alot more people have blood on their hands for all the Fla .deaths.
I grew up outside Salt Lake City and I was 13 when Ted Bundy was on his spree. My mom always followed True Crime stories. She was already overprotective but I looked so much like his victims that my mom practically had me on a leash😮
My own mother was being led away by Rodney Alcala at the beach before her companion intervened, interrupting him. Otherwise me or my siblings would not exist.
He was not so tough, the cop he fought was visibly victorious and he went for sudden blunt force trauma, when they were bending down, asleep, or trapped in that car without handles. He was an anomaly because of his articulation abilities and escaping twice in the 70s. He was just sick and cowardly
It's weird to watch a documentary on serial killers that is so old that they haven't yet caught Gary Ridgeway and BTK and Dahmer aren't even on their radar yet.
I don't think serial killers are specifically a modern phenomenon. It's that we're getting better at catching them. There are serial killers documented in Rome in early 300/BC & in almost every country, up through history.
@@debratansey6074 yeah I realize they were really taboo back then. I think you're right about 10 years ago it became a norm. I just don't like how he said it.
Teds brother in law used to work for my families tugboat business. His sister was a very cool person. Ted has a younger brother who has videos on RUclips. Understandably he has had a hard time dealing with the stain ted left on him. They were quite close and ted was so smooth that he fooled his family. His brother whose name I can't remember is just a few years younger than me. I'm 66. He was homeless about a year ago and I think there was a go fund me page to help him get an apartment. I think he is worthy of receiving help.
My 2nd cousin’s aunt’s travel agent was supposed to get his haircut by Jay Sebring the day after the Tate murders. He was so upset about being stood up until……He was so traumatized he never got a haircut again. Ever.
You are correct about teds brother being stained. Myself and my other siblings lost our identity in the shadows of our brothers crimes and it affected us into adulthood. We don’t have names, we had sentences. “Aren’t you (so-and-So’s) brother/sister? His crimes and reputation covered us like a blanket our whole lives. He is a certified psychopath and I wish the FBI would keep him in a cage like Hannibal lecture because he’s out of prison, again, and the next crime may be murder because he’s always away from it by inches. God help anyone he’s near!
I starting to think ut is not that Kemper and the like are particularly intelligent or easily liked It's mist people who are not intelligent enough and easily impressed, especially by the wrong things
@@DeniseCoelhoEnglishForLifeKemper was actually proven to be quite a few steps above the general population with regards to the traditional understanding of IQ. However, in the case of Bundy or Rader for example, I do agree with your argument. For people with anti-social PD, they need not be particularly more "intelligent" than average in order to succesfully manipulate and deliver information
Wow. Seriously amazed at Ed Kemper interview. This guy could've been a great person. Pity life screwed him up like that. Mothers have the most essential roles on this planet. I wish all women would get to know how important they are. In fact, all parents. Moms and dads need to realise that they are entrusted with souls that need to be nurtured and loved.
It was his brain. The connection between certain parts is cut off so he feels no connection to others. No remorse, no sympathy no empathy. People can have smaller degrees of brain damage and have psychopathic traits without being a full psychopath. Bullying is a manifestation of brain damage, irritability brought on by excess processing of differences through damaged ,scarred brain. It can be from processing a different look, a different idea, male /female etc...adaption to change. Its like the highway at rush hour- being closed down to one lane. True psychopaths have no emotion for others, they think they are superior due to that. You can see the duping smile sometimes. They use others to get revenge if you cross them. Gang tactics. Some people have misfortune, some people use misfortune. " My mother is bad and so I have all of these problems..." He is just using peoples emotions, their (stupid) sympathies all over again to draw people in. He is using an antisocial net to catch more flying monkeys to give him a degree of sympathy, maybe help him get what he can from them. In the outside world ,he could use the blame game to cause others harm or get his way. Anti socials focus on "me" ,Im the victim of...they gain your sympathy to get your help for them. Then they send you out to bash others that are different or allow you power and control over others, you can fix this problem by doing this... etc... There are several scenarios. Social motives focuses on others.We feel good when we help others because we are social. Watch who you help!
Absent and or inadequate father play a role too, as do violent and or alcoholic fathers, and Kemper killed his grandparents for no reason, as he did his mothers best friend. Not to mention the innocent college girls.
Why would that judge compliment Bundy? Tells him to "take care" after he murders how many women n a little girl l acting like he's his buddy who is sorry to see him go to prison
Hi I've never ever been able to understand that I think he should have been sacked... I thought if I was the parent of one of those girls listening to that flattery of a despicable disgusting piece of dross ... I would have punched him... unforgiveable
Yes, that was such a bizarre and chilling moment. It was as if the judge couldn't have cared less about the horrific, perverted darkness that this guy visited upon these girls. Makes me wonder about his mental state.
None of you understands Southern men of that generation, especially, and traditional Southerners, in general. It's pretty well known that a Southerner can smile and say, "Well, bless your heart!" and what he or she is really saying is, "Go f*ck yourself." Southern people, older ones, anyway, had a tendency to become softer, gentler, more polite when confronted with hideous situations/people. Doesn't mean they wouldn't happily blow you away with a shotgun if necessary.
He also said that he woulda been honoured to have him as a professional lawyer in his courtroom if he hadn't been a murderer... The victim's families were at that trial, they were disgraceful comments for a judge to make! 🤬
The summer of 1981 my buddy and I were downtown in Hamilton, Ontario to see The Fox and the Hound. We were 13. And while we were milling around waiting for the movie to start, a guy called us up to his his second story walk-up to help him move furniture. Promised us $5 each. We looked at each other, shrugged, and we went. Turned out the guy wanted us to help him move furniture, and we did, and he paid for the movie, essentially. But I can't help thinking now how lucky we were he was genuine, and how lucky he was he was making the request back then and not today.
Serial murders have dropped dramatically since this movie was made. Sure there are still some, but WAY less. There are several reasons for that, DNA advancements make it almost impossible to not leave evidence, there are cameras everywhere compared to back then, free and widely accessible pornography of alomst every kind that allows sexual perverts to have a release without needing a victim, and they finally took the lead out of the leaded gasoline and the lead paint that was making people way more agressive and irrational back then. Those, among other reasons (like cellphone data) have made it very hard for a person to get away with several murders over several years.
They are still out there. The FBI said they are just as prevalent as before it's just that the FBI isn't chasing them as before due to political reasons. The FBI said there are most likely 50 currently active.
New technology certainly makes it more difficult to commit these atrocities without getting caught. We still have the deranged minds and idt more accessible porn takes place of urge to commit a murder
Not to provoke but guess God is the one to follow and Jesus' way of following God is the one to mirror. But a thumbs up for your comment. And a thumbs down for mine. Peace, love and blessings from Denmark.
This video was before his time but when Richard Ramirez (night stalker) was finally caught, the way he looked scared the crap out of me. What he did to those women and how cunning he was, if demons walk the earth, he was definitely one.
OMG! Those poor family members of the victims. What a nightmare! I really don't know how they go on living after having that happen to their loved one. Its just horrible.
I was a teenager with long light brown hair, parted in the middle, during the Bundy time. I lived in Oregon, near Oregon State University, where 2 victims of his were abducted. Many of us young women then knew we fit his profile. It was a scary time and I know it affected me as these were some of my formative years. Grew cautious...
"No motive" means you failed your job. It was either power, sexual deviancy, embarrassment for female rejection (he'd have sex with corpse...they couldnt reject him). There's a motive.
This bugged me too. What an asshole. Lots of women and people in general had ink even back then. It was the 80s not the 40s. He probably didn't solve a lot of cases with his outdated, dismissive ideas.
Because it's true. How old are you? If you're not old enough to remember the early 80's with clear recollection, then that's why you're thinking 'wowww'.
I don't think serial killers just all of a sudden apeared. I think it was happening all along. If it were not for the press and the general public questioning and putting pressure on the police, they would have continued looking at them as individual cases and not related. So if these cops were like that, most probably had the same train of thought process through out the years prior to this realization.
@@bestrealredhed Yes, he met a kind and gentle woman, fell in love and got happily married. He didn't actually stop, but he slowed down considerably. Previously his problem had been his inability to handle the women around him
Kemper is likable. Cops are so stupid all the guns and he didn't take a closer look at his cupboard. Amazing🤔 Susan Rancourts Parents were so nice down to earth, they just had a beautiful daughter that was her mistake that was all there mistakes. Rip to all those girls. To all those parents I hope time has healed some of your pain.
Ed Kemper was likable. He was especially intelligent and extremely well spoken. I always thought Ed would have been a successful, productive person had a few things gone differently. It’s an awful thing to be raised by narcissistic and abusive parents. I’m a firm believer in not giving these serial killers any catchy media names, any book deals…nothing. They should be effectively shunned. Because, even more than killing innocent people, these type of deviants must have ATTENTION. That’s a real currency for these monsters.
totally agree. i feel dahmer was on the same level as kemper, as far as recognizing his sickness. bundy’s narcissism overpowers his ability to admit he is / was the bad guy.
@@weedywendy4266 I don't think darhmer understood how it manifested in himself, he got to the point he reduced it to god and the devil. He lacked insight, he knew he was sick how could he not with body's rotting in his flat. But if you listen to Kemper he can can fully understand how he became that way. And I wish he didn't go down that dark path because he could have done something good in life with that brain. Much more clever than any other murderer
Kempers IQ was higher than bundy's. Bundy was good at pretending to be smart (and he was on some level)..but Kemper really was. I kinda feel bad for Kemper because his childhood experiences steered him into becoming what he became. Bundy was just an impulsive pervert. He came from a good childhood (other than the claim of his granddad being his dad, which has never been proven).
Ed Kemper is a dumbass, high IQ doesn't make a person smart. All serial killers are stupid and take unnecessary risks that's why they almost all get caught.
I can’t believe and understand all of this I get upset for accidentally hitting a dog I pull to the side trembling and he hits em in the head this blows me away
So weird that you should say that. I just stumbled on this video, and I also just hit a dog last week! I was rounding a corner and he was laying in the road! I burst into tears, got out and tried to help him, but he was too afraid and limped away, I couldn't catch him. I called animal control, and that was all I could do. 😭😭😭 Be thankful for your empathy. It can get us in trouble just by having funky friends and giving them 1 2 3 4 5 chances, but honestly, once you get ahold of your empathy, you can use it for the good. The good of yourself. Anyway thank you for your comment.
There was something wrong with the Judge in Ted Bundy's trial telling him at 56:25, "You're a bright young man, you'd have made a good lawyer, I'd would've loved to have you practice in front of me, but you went a different way partner." Ted Bundy was suspected of violently murdering an untold number of women, and then the Judge having the gall to also say, "Take care of yourself, I don't have any animosity to ya, take care of yourself." No animosity? Just wow!
Being a very skillful manipulator, he dominated the minds of people for a long time that he was innocent. But his escape due to his desire to kill and adding new ones to his victims revealed his identity as a sadistic murderous serial killer in the eyes of the public.
“The best revenge against evil is not not become more like them” And having animosity doesn’t solve anything Also do you think your angry comment is changing anything I guess I’m doing the same but just let go and not care
@@deborahtruthseeker112 my point was is that he still ordered his execution without a wrath and vengeance You did not understand what I said It’s important to not be ruled by anger and vengeance I mean this in the most mature way possible but please try to not spread impulsive Information like this
I think we hit a point where communications tech, investigative tech, authority coordination, and population centers matured to the degree where it was more difficult for a serial killer to operate undetected. I don’t think they were a new phenomena that materialized from nothingness. Imagine a killer operating in the old west along the frontier.
Especially Ed Kemper is not appearing any evil to me at all. I am not a psychologist, but he was obviously abused by his mother, after which he became obsessed with her and compared all women to her. She herself had probably some mental sickness and was very likely intimitated by his physical appearance, after a certain age. She was trying to fight him off, instead of loving him. All that Kemper was missing, is love. And after his Dad dropped him off at his own parents house, he was the loneliest person in the world, in his sight of the world, All just, due to women, because his stepmom at his fathers home was the one, who wanted to get rid of him. His grandmother then tried to prohibit normal things a young man really should do, by going out and that just was the breaking point. He was just betrayed over and over by women, I myself would most likely have been as angry as him, because of the betrayel these blood related women did to him, I feel this and I understand him at the point, when he killed his Grandmother. He was just very sensitive and did not know what to do. He then was moved in a mental institution for grown ups and I would argue, why? That should never been considered in any case. He was just a victim of his familiy, who abandoned him. But they did not see this. Dude, he must have been so sad inside. But in a grown up facility he was just trained to become emotionless. And that led to his crimes. But do not forget that authorities said he should not in any case get released to his mother, but he was. So the authorities are also responsible, because he may not would have done those murders. I really can not understand why he killed those girls, he may have killed them, because they were coeds, but the real motive can only be told by him. What I want to say, is, that he is no psychopath. Have mercy on him, even though, he did some terrible things. Ted Bundy was a psychopath, but not him. I am sorry for any grammatically errors or errors at all, I am a German.
📌 And to think that people trust dating sites and the plethora of social media platforms is utterly a behavioral risk to one's life. With today's happenings of atrocities, people will still disregard the simplistic element of common sense. Absolutely incredible.
It was so prevalent in this era because you had an entire generation subjected to and sexualized by detective magazines. Each of whose covers depicted very attractive women being assaulted in one form or fashion. A recipe for the evolution of the serial killer. Don't believe me do a search for them.
I, was around doing this time and remember this murder well. Many young women had said things like, "He just a big teddy bear!!! He's not going to hurt anyone silly!!!" They had no sense of danger, made fun of those that did. Too trusting, so sad.
This was cool, a serial killer doc back when it was more common than at any other point in US history. It was interesting to see how US law enforcement at the time were just wising up to the exploits that allowed these crimes to occur with the frequency that they did.
Absolutely correct. Sadly, all of the innocence is gone. Cynicism is the rule of the day. Psychopaths are predators period. Their motive is relief from the constant torture of voices in their heads & their sick & sickening urges. Their brains are formed differently. They don't need a motive beyond having a differently formed brain.
Poor Ed? You couldn't see the excuses in his interview,it's all Deception, deceit,lies,his smooth talking is bait. The only true thing is his emotions towards his mother but he justifies killing her because He knew he was going to be captured so he on my mind killed her to avoid her from seeing him going to prison or potentially Killed.
He's literally a genius AND a sociopath. He used the same manipulation tactics to convince the parole board to give him an early release after the first time he was arrested for murder. He only turned himself in after killed his mother, because he knew he would get caught anyway.
There were really awesome things and fun people and fun music and fun entertainment and people really had fun but just like everything else it always had a dark side and things were pretty dark in those decades.
They think it’s because fathers coming back from ww2 with emotional issues and bringing this into the home and or missing fathers. Also the new interstate highway allowed for killers to travel easily from place to place.
The 1950s was the last decade of the nation being a high trust society. Much of America still left doors unlocked and keys in cars. By the 60s, counter culture took hold... the nuclear family was beginning to be sold as a bad thing. In the 70s America began to enter into being a very low trust society. People were leaving sparcely populated close knit areas, for sprawling population centers. Women and girls ventured out into the world, on their own, more and more. Young women lived aIone more than ever before. Men and women mingled more as individuals, in social settings of unfamiliar people. The 80s were just an amplified extension of the 70s...with even lower trust in society. Also, the lack of technology allowed many serial killers of that time to go undetected for longer. The killer of those four college students in 2022, became a suspect because of the cell phone pings that they reviewed in that area. We have continued, over the decades, to become more and more of a low trust society . We are less social on an in person level (we have more of a virtual social life now). We live in more of a surveillance state. No matter what you do through the course of a given day...your meta data, and the amount of times you're likely on camera... has increased exponentially. As it gets more difficult for these type of people to engage in that sort of evil activity...they still endeavor to find new ways. This country has changed so much, demographically, in the last 20 years...killing has taken on more of an "us against them" sort of theme. Its more about masses of individuals, killing masses of individuals now.
It was a perfect storm. Jurisdictional blindness in law enforcement, lack of detection technology (cameras, databases), easier to travel, easier to be anonymous, no DNA, hitchhiking, rampant drugs & prostitution creating large victim pool, post-war breakdowns in nuclear family and violent or fear-based parenting. People didn't suspect "the normal guy" or actually believed "we're safe in our small town". Now we know better. I suspect psychopathic/sociopathic sexual sadists are still as common as they were then, but as parenting continues to trend toward gentler disciplinary methods than what was common in the past, they'll decline. Plus there's so much material available online (simulated and real) that a sexual sadist doesn't even need to risk committing a crime to get his rocks off. I think it's important to point out that all of this is just the US, though. I've seen a few docs on more recent (21st century) serial murderers in other countries (esp Russia it seems) that are getting away with it for all the reasons that affected the US in the 70s/80s
I thank all of the men and women in law enforcement for the hard work they do to catch and stop the monsters who want to eat our children and loved ones.Without them the world would be a much colder scarier darker place. I think Bob kepple passed away if I heard correctly but don’t morn him celebrate his life ,he did good things for his fellow man and his life work was to make his fellow man safe so thank god for him and others like him who keep fighting on our behalf and on behalf of our families ,he was a good decent man and the world could use more like him. Over the years I have grown to hate serial killers above all others or heartless murderers, who laugh in court. These kinds of people make me sick and I hate that I hate them so much because it’s a very deep hate which I wish was not there. Not because I want it to be so and only because I believe it should be done I believe the family’s of lost loved ones at the hands of a madman should be able to choose how killers are killed and there be no repercussions,it’s an awful thing murder is,in all cases . Every time I see the mother of Denise Naslund it’s heartbreaking to see her pain and for her and all others in her same position. The family’s should be able to decide a killer fate free to kill then in any way they want.
I don't necessarily agree with the idea that serial killing suddenly started in the 1940s. I think what changed was societies approach to law enforcement, and investigation techniques. Psychopaths, and sociopaths are rare, but they have likely existed for the entirety of human history. Think about the absolute butchery that went on in the wild west. Jesse James, and even Doc Holliday fit the definition of serial murderers.
they are not motivated by something their victim does. they are motivated by something internal, that has been building and focused on since they were a child, and fulfilled when they were young. It only goes downhill, after the first kill. there might be things in common in terms of victimology, but that has to do with the killers personal favorite vices.. it has nothing to do with the victim. However, if ya'll believe that the human race always produced serial killers and mass murderers, we did not. We would NEVER have evolved as a life form, if we were as violent and primitive yesterday, as we are today. We are extinction level violent, fractured, deluded. Healing the wounds, that civilization and colonization of the planet has made and allowed to fester, is mankinds only redemption or bid for longevity.
The problem with Ted Bundy was that he was well mannered, dressed well, articulate, charming, intelligent, attractive, thoughtful and so on. He surely had at least the same amount of not so good traits but i can understand how and why people didn't have a problem talking to him or be close to him. His evil was on a whole different level.
When the reporter said the killer looked like an ordinary person! I was like DON’T they ALL LOOK AS NORMAL AS WE DO ? They could be sleeping right next to us and we wouldn’t even know!!
They didn’t have these kinds of cases prior to the 1950’s? Call me a conspiracy theorist but it makes me wonder if any of these guys had any involvement with the MK Ultra projects. 🤔 I think it’s a fair question considering what is now known about the project.
What strikes me most about this documentary is how the almost entirely male law enforcement ‘s attitudes towards women contributed to more deaths. There wasn’t concern about multiple deaths of women because they were “prostitutes”, there wasn’t concern about two women disappearing at a lake because of “lifestyles”. Granted they were reflecting the social attitudes at the time but it’s awful to hear how some women’s lives were valued more than others. No one seems to question Ed Kemper’s interpretation of why he raped and murdered young women. The blame lies with his mother, not him because of the way he was “raised”. His father escapes blame despite being absent from his life. He had so many choices not to do the things he did but he chose to do them anyway. A male who chose to exert control by fear, by exerting power by rape and then death. A disgusting excuse for a human being.
are you trying to convince us that serial killers are bad people? uhh, cause, yeah, all the killing they did kind of convinces us of that, not your ridiculous comment.
Come on Doc, admit it, you guys don't know any more about this crazyness than I do. And that"s proven by calling him, "Nice." Demon's He just had good manners. Inside his heart, he's always thinking evel. An example is, smiling at your boss, while cussing them out in your mind. Not nice, deadly.
I always felt Bundy went back for a second victim at lake Samamish because he was able to abduct Janice Ott so smoothly he figured a second would go just as well. And it seems it did.
Maybe but had to be a complete idiot to use his own name and assume that he was basically invisible,when many people saw him and other women who didn't go with him remembered him.
@@Gazman67 not an idiot - just brazen. If you ask me Bundy wanted to be found. Not because of a desire to stop but because he wanted people to know what he had done
@@Gazman67. That was always the big head scratcher for me. I mean, really. WTF? Besides that, he was kind of a criminal mastermind, so what happened there?
@@Gazman67 Bobby Joe Long let one of his victims go and got arrested for it. After a while their egos are so inflated they think they can get away with anything and they usually dont care about consequences either.
Bundy became addicted to violent pornography and then said in an interview that it was what triggered his interest in reenacting, so to speak, what he wanted to experience in real life...what a shame.
It started for him when he found a pile of roadside discarded violent porn magazines as a 11 yr old child (he asserts), *however* his aunt recalls waking up to him with a knife to her neck, grinning.

At the beginning of this, Robert Ressler is wrong when he says - "Crimes like these were never known, with any frequency, prior to the fifties". So called serial killers have always existed, and are no more common today than throughout history. Also, they're not uniquely American or European. They exist, and have always existed, in every society and culture. What this program is, is "fear porn", designed to be frightening and titillating. It is no more valid or realistic in the views that it presents and, has no more value than a cheap "slasher movie".
The reasons behind so many of these crimes are the from the really ugly side of humanity that would make me have a breakdown if I had to work in this environment. There would be things you'd see that, in a way, make the officers involved, a type of victim due to the psychological trauma. At least it would to me. I hope that made some sense, just couldn't be succinct!
WAIT! Did he say, "I don't have any animosity towards you. Take care of yourself."?????!!!!!!! Oh, ok. Nvm that you have murdered women and children and savagely violated them. No hard feelings dude. GTFOH!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Ed Kemper, while what he did was absolutely horrible, I can't help but feel for him. He is a product of his mother's horrendous abuse. The fact that he stopped killing, that he said he was done and ready to turn himself in after he killed his mom, it says a lot. The kind of woman she was, I wish he had killed her sooner, then all those other women would still be alive. When he was talking about her final words to him, that snide remark she made, and you could hear him choking up and starting to cry, I felt for him. I'm not excusing what he did, I'm not saying that it was 100% his mother's fault he turned out the way he did, but just from watching other things about him, when he was away from her, he flourished, when he was around her, he was dead inside. When he was released from the mental institution, they told the State of California to NOT release him into his mother's care, that it would cause him to regress and become violent again. They didn't listen, they let his mother take him, and those women died.

What year was this doc aired originally?
@@KimberlySays... 1984.
@@jesser73 thank you 🙂
@@jesser73 hearing them talk of the green river killer, Gary Ridgeway, and knowing how many years that he still had in anonymity is just awful. I remember feeling like he'd just never be found.
I tell my children if a grown adult, especially a grown adult man, asks them to help him, run the other way. Grown people should not be asking children for their assistance
Wow! I told my son the same thing!!!!
Bundy was asking grown women for help, not children. I agree with your advice to your children but it is possible that the other 99.99% of men who might ask for help with something from a youngster are actually innocently asking for help.
I tell my boys the same. There is no need to ask a child. Find an adult to ask
There's always a Gary Jones (possible child sex offender out there to disagree
Right
56:20...The judge said he didn’t have any animosity toward him !... I wonder if he would have said that if one of his own would have been a victim. Just goes to show how charming the monster was. What a thing to say.
White privilege baby. You think he'd feel so mushy towards a black or brown criminal?
He’s doing his job correctly. In the eyes of the law he isn’t allowed any bias toward the defendant.
You have to remember Ted could have been a lawyer/politician and there would be many fellow sociopaths in those fields who could relate and sympathize with him
@@garycostello4294 Ted...Ted...Ted... you sound like your a friend of his.
@@bari2883 Again... would he have said what he said if one of Bundy’s victims was one of his kin !.. the answer is NO.
thanks for posting this. i haven’t seen most of the content. that poor dark haired mother..he life is ruined, she’s turned to substances to deal. heartbreaking.
😊
There's always a motive in a killers head. Understanding the exact motivation will never eradicate them, no matter what we learn from them.
Agree. IMHO the sexual revolution as portrayed through media set off something in some men that made them killers. They all appear to have derived pleasure from reading about their acts in newspapers. It’s sick.
The motive is often that the rape/murder turns them on & gets them off; it's as simple as that, no matter how complex they try to make it out to be.
@@budderkupp1282 Exactly. They don’t even have to actually sexually assault their victims for it to still be sexually motivated. BTK never raped his victims (he thought that was somehow “taking it too far”) but his killings were for sexual reasons. He wanted to visually see his fantasies come to life, which is why he would then pose them & take photos, or would dress up & reenact his victims poses himself.
@@Pluto_Is_A_Planet_ You are right. Sometimes the killing alone is the sexual motivation.
@@budderkupp1282 There was a study awhile back that showed the human adrenal system can't tell the difference between the stimulus of imminent danger & sexual excitement. I wonder if this phenomenon is a variety of that response. i.e. they learn to trigger that response via murders & become addicted to the adrenal pop they get from it.
It is eerie how engaging Ed Kemper is to listen to. You find yourself genuinely liking the guy even knowing the atrocities he committed. Easy to see how he gained the trust of so many victims.
That's the guise of a man who has done many crimes
@@joerocha510 Yeah, it's just spooky. Being someone who knows his story, and knows what he is capable of. Yet you kind of "like" him. Just makes one less confident in their "psycho radar".
@Adam Murphy yeah he comes off like your bro or best friend, not like a menace or psychotic buffaloe bill for character . He even was friends with the cops task on catching him.
Ed came off that way to police too. He used to drink with them in a bar opposite the Cop Shop. They called him Big Ed.
John Douglas was talking about cooperation between police agencies in the USA. It has never become a reality. There are still many small town Sheriffs and city police agencies who refuse to submit crime figures to the National Database. They also refuse to cooperate with other agencies as happened with many murders only one county apart due to county rivalries
It is interesting how a seemingly amicable man would at some point find that inner rage to kill.
It is very stupid to state that serial killers have no motive. All of them have motive, but it is a horrifically inhumane internal motive.
Basic premise: Everybody has a reason for what they do. It might not make sense to you, but they have a reason.
They're just wired wrong and it can't be fixed
@@meredithisme3752 There are clinical psychopaths that lead normal & successful lives, according to societal norms. But there's something there that can easily go drastically off the rails. I wouldn't say wired wrong but certainly different.
No APPARENT motive. In like 98% of murders, it's a friend, jealous spouse, someone trying to get an insurance pay off, someone trying to rip someone off in a drug deal, or a rivel gang member. If some girl is found in a ditch, killed by a complete stranger, there's no APPARENT motive the police can use to id a suspect. When Joseph DeAngelo (the golden state killer) murdered Lyman and Charlene Smith, they arrested, charged one of Lyman Smith's buisness partner that he ripped off in a land deal, because almost ALWAYS, there's a clear motive for the killing.
I guess that's why they use the word 'apparent' in the title
Bundy was so casual and personable,not the kind of person you would think capable of these crimes yet the narcissism wasn't understood.
Or the extent of the abuse he recieved
Yeah to this day I still find Bundy to be fascinating. He was smart and good looking and was an expert at reading people. The problem is it’s very difficult if we can believe half of what he says . I bet he doesn’t even know why he killed those women or why the need was there in the first place
@@annthomson5648he had to have been abused somehow. Or he just felt alienated and alone in some way, which was clearly the main reason for Jeffrey Dahmer's killings. And thats scary cause i feel alienated and alone every day myself, but i try to think most people do and one day ill have someone to love. Thats also the reason Ed Kemper killed, his lack of success with women and his bad relationship with his mom. But if he had an attractive girlfriend he very likely wouldnt have killed at all.
@annthomson5648 His childhood was weird for sure...taught to think of his grandfather as his father and his mother as his sister.
I have read several books on watched dozens of videos on Bundy and not once did the subject of abuse come up.
I think it may be, in part growing up with mother as his sister (the shame of an illegitimate birth) & his grandparents as his parents ... then his mother married, moving away taking young Ted with her.@@JackTheSkunk
A truly haunting documentary I haven't seen in decades. This is one of the best doc's on Ted Ive ever seen, and Ive seen a lot. I'm now a subscriber to your channel hoping for more quality documentary's on anything if this is your standard?
Request for more like this. Psychopaths confessing letting us get into their minds. I love to learn about people like my father and it makes studying True Crime enlightening on a whole another level.
Soon! Thanks please subscribe and share!
Psychopaths telling the truth though? Thats a hard call
You mentioned.yoirbfather? Why??
Yeah, why did you mention your father? Is he...? I am just trying to understand, but I mean no disrespect.
Can you PLEASE tell us YOUR story?
So , what your really saying is your pop's got shot by a swat team after he held your mom and you hostage for three days straight tweeking on meth but now that you're a bit older you like to romanticize your pop's by comparing him to one of the More famous American Looney tunes of yor .

Absolutely!
35:55 I don’t get how they say he was an “unlikely suspect.” The guy was a psycho, you can tell it by looking at his crazy expressions. A failure in school with visions of grandeur, a loner, grew up thinking his mom was his sister and his grandma was his mom. He’s a pretty likely suspect. Also where does this handsome thing come from? He looks like a total creep. He’s actually the guy I’d first suspect of something creepy.
Yep agree totally,wonder if the law enforcement that let him escape twice faced any real consequences? Or for that matter washington state law enforcement who had him on a short list of suspects,wonder if any one peaked in his vw and thought it odd it didn't have a passenger seat? That alone should have moved him to the top of the list. Bundys the monster but alot more people have blood on their hands for all the Fla .deaths.
There are motives. Usually sexual gratification and sadism.
I grew up outside Salt Lake City and I was 13 when Ted Bundy was on his spree. My mom always followed True Crime stories. She was already overprotective but I looked so much like his victims that my mom practically had me on a leash😮
that's great your mom was protective of you because nowadays kids are just able to talk to any predator online without supervision from parents
And you're still here today, hurray for mom.
Giiiirrrl so glad you survived. Bless your Mother
WHAT A GREAT MOM👍
@@LINDACOSTA-fu7ku She sure was. I miss her every day 😪
My own mother was being led away by Rodney Alcala at the beach before her companion intervened, interrupting him. Otherwise me or my siblings would not exist.
Wow. That's a story to share.
She definitely had an angel looking out for her!
Ted Bundy was the boogeyman. Forget Michael Myers, Jason or Freddy Kruger. He was anyone's nightmare.
He was extremely brutal with how he killed and mutated his victims.
Nope, just women’s nightmare.
Yea...he wouldn't do that to a man. He went for the defenseless.
Huh
He was not so tough, the cop he fought was visibly victorious and he went for sudden blunt force trauma, when they were bending down, asleep, or trapped in that car without handles. He was an anomaly because of his articulation abilities and escaping twice in the 70s. He was just sick and cowardly
It's weird to watch a documentary on serial killers that is so old that they haven't yet caught Gary Ridgeway and BTK and Dahmer aren't even on their radar yet.
I don't think serial killers are specifically a modern phenomenon. It's that we're getting better at catching them. There are serial killers documented in Rome in early 300/BC & in almost every country, up through history.
That cop really said if those women had a tattoo they must be prostitutes or drug addicts.
I caught that too and thought hmm wouldn't be able to use tattoos to identify a certain type of person these days
I think at that time that was probably the case tattoo's have only become the norm in the last 10 years for women at least
@@debratansey6074 yeah I realize they were really taboo back then. I think you're right about 10 years ago it became a norm. I just don't like how he said it.
Things were different back then. Tattoos had a stigma associated w them.
Yes he really said that, it was 50 years ago. Women and tattoos weren't a thing back then
Teds brother in law used to work for my families tugboat business. His sister was a very cool person. Ted has a younger brother who has videos on RUclips. Understandably he has had a hard time dealing with the stain ted left on him. They were quite close and ted was so smooth that he fooled his family. His brother whose name I can't remember is just a few years younger than me. I'm 66. He was homeless about a year ago and I think there was a go fund me page to help him get an apartment. I think he is worthy of receiving help.
Theodore Bundy's brother's name is Richard Bundy.
@@angeliquepiafbordeaux4107 he comes across as a fine gentleman.
My 2nd cousin’s aunt’s travel agent was supposed to get his haircut by Jay Sebring the day after the Tate murders. He was so upset about being stood up until……He was so traumatized he never got a haircut again. Ever.
Na, fuck his brother
You are correct about teds brother being stained. Myself and my other siblings lost our identity in the shadows of our brothers crimes and it affected us into adulthood. We don’t have names, we had sentences. “Aren’t you (so-and-So’s) brother/sister? His crimes and reputation covered us like a blanket our whole lives. He is a certified psychopath and I wish the FBI would keep him in a cage like Hannibal lecture because he’s out of prison, again, and the next crime may be murder because he’s always away from it by inches. God help anyone he’s near!
Kemper: I came in from the cold. There are some ppl out there who prefer the cold.
What a great quote
I starting to think ut is not that Kemper and the like are particularly intelligent or easily liked It's mist people who are not intelligent enough and easily impressed, especially by the wrong things
@@DeniseCoelhoEnglishForLifeKemper was actually proven to be quite a few steps above the general population with regards to the traditional understanding of IQ.
However, in the case of Bundy or Rader for example, I do agree with your argument. For people with anti-social PD, they need not be particularly more "intelligent" than average in order to succesfully manipulate and deliver information
Kemper was dare I say very likable.
Excellent documentary 🔍 Thanks for posting.
In fact
Outstanding! Thank you for posting 👏🏻
I LOVED this old crime doc! Thank you! 😊
Wow. Seriously amazed at Ed Kemper interview. This guy could've been a great person. Pity life screwed him up like that. Mothers have the most essential roles on this planet. I wish all women would get to know how important they are. In fact, all parents. Moms and dads need to realise that they are entrusted with souls that need to be nurtured and loved.
well said ty
I agree he is fascinating and so intelligent
It was his brain. The connection between certain parts is cut off so he feels no connection to others. No remorse, no sympathy no empathy. People can have smaller degrees of brain damage and have psychopathic traits without being a full psychopath. Bullying is a manifestation of brain damage, irritability brought on by excess processing of differences through damaged ,scarred brain. It can be from processing a different look, a different idea, male /female etc...adaption to change. Its like the highway at rush hour- being closed down to one lane.
True psychopaths have no emotion for others, they think they are superior due to that. You can see the duping smile sometimes.
They use others to get revenge if you cross them. Gang tactics. Some people have misfortune, some people use misfortune.
" My mother is bad and so I have all of these problems..."
He is just using peoples emotions, their (stupid) sympathies all over again to draw people in.
He is using an antisocial net to catch more flying monkeys to give him a degree of sympathy, maybe help him get what he can from them.
In the outside world ,he could use the blame game to cause others harm or get his way.
Anti socials focus on "me" ,Im the victim of...they gain your sympathy to get your help for them. Then they send you out to bash others that are different or allow you power and control over others, you can fix this problem by doing this... etc... There are several scenarios.
Social motives focuses on others.We feel good when we help others because we are social.
Watch who you help!
Thanks for remembering to include fathers, too.
Absent and or inadequate father play a role too, as do violent and or alcoholic fathers, and Kemper killed his grandparents for no reason, as he did his mothers best friend. Not to mention the innocent college girls.
Why would that judge compliment Bundy? Tells him to "take care" after he murders how many women n a little girl l acting like he's his buddy who is sorry to see him go to prison
Hi I've never ever been able to understand that I think he should have been sacked... I thought if I was the parent of one of those girls listening to that flattery of a despicable disgusting piece of dross ... I would have punched him... unforgiveable
Yes, that was such a bizarre and chilling moment. It was as if the judge couldn't have cared less about the horrific, perverted darkness that this guy visited upon these girls. Makes me wonder about his mental state.
I think he should have lost his job as a judge, it was an absurd thing to do.
None of you understands Southern men of that generation, especially, and traditional Southerners, in general. It's pretty well known that a Southerner can smile and say, "Well, bless your heart!" and what he or she is really saying is, "Go f*ck yourself." Southern people, older ones, anyway, had a tendency to become softer, gentler, more polite when confronted with hideous situations/people. Doesn't mean they wouldn't happily blow you away with a shotgun if necessary.
He also said that he woulda been honoured to have him as a professional lawyer in his courtroom if he hadn't been a murderer... The victim's families were at that trial, they were disgraceful comments for a judge to make! 🤬
The summer of 1981 my buddy and I were downtown in Hamilton, Ontario to see The Fox and the Hound. We were 13. And while we were milling around waiting for the movie to start, a guy called us up to his his second story walk-up to help him move furniture. Promised us $5 each. We looked at each other, shrugged, and we went. Turned out the guy wanted us to help him move furniture, and we did, and he paid for the movie, essentially. But I can't help thinking now how lucky we were he was genuine, and how lucky he was he was making the request back then and not today.
Twist ending: Little did you know, Inside the furniture were severed body parts.
Aww that was my last Disney movie so glad you were ok!
Serial murders have dropped dramatically since this movie was made. Sure there are still some, but WAY less. There are several reasons for that, DNA advancements make it almost impossible to not leave evidence, there are cameras everywhere compared to back then, free and widely accessible pornography of alomst every kind that allows sexual perverts to have a release without needing a victim, and they finally took the lead out of the leaded gasoline and the lead paint that was making people way more agressive and irrational back then. Those, among other reasons (like cellphone data) have made it very hard for a person to get away with several murders over several years.
They are still out there. The FBI said they are just as prevalent as before it's just that the FBI isn't chasing them as before due to political reasons. The FBI said there are most likely 50 currently active.
@@rubberneckinc.8937 Agree.
New technology certainly makes it more difficult to commit these atrocities without getting caught. We still have the deranged minds and idt more accessible porn takes place of urge to commit a murder
@@rubberneckinc.8937 WHAT? Political reasons???????
@@pinklyon642 the feds want the profilers to chase "terrorists" and not serial killers. Despite there training.
Good historical footage
Not to provoke but guess God is the one to follow and Jesus' way of following God is the one to mirror.
But a thumbs up for your comment. And a thumbs down for mine.
Peace, love and blessings from Denmark.
No motive???? WTF, how about for Pleasure.
No apparent motive at the time of body reclamation.
This video was before his time but when Richard Ramirez (night stalker) was finally caught, the way he looked scared the crap out of me. What he did to those women and how cunning he was, if demons walk the earth, he was definitely one.
“It’s a lot scarier when there’s no motive.” -Billy Loomis (Scream).
My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at meeeeeeee
OMG! Those poor family members of the victims. What a nightmare! I really don't know how they go on living after having that happen to their loved one. Its just horrible.
Also...look into abuse. Most of these sick killers went through some kind of abuse. They need mental help.
I was a teenager with long light brown hair, parted in the middle, during the Bundy time. I lived in Oregon, near Oregon State University, where 2 victims of his were abducted. Many of us young women then knew we fit his profile. It was a scary time and I know it affected me as these were some of my formative years. Grew cautious...
"No motive" means you failed your job. It was either power, sexual deviancy, embarrassment for female rejection (he'd have sex with corpse...they couldnt reject him). There's a motive.
Also, the cops interviewed were like “oh the victim had tattoos, so they were either a prostitute or on drugs” wowwww. 7:13
This bugged me too. What an asshole. Lots of women and people in general had ink even back then. It was the 80s not the 40s. He probably didn't solve a lot of cases with his outdated, dismissive ideas.
Tattoos used to be not normal among the general population.
Because it's true. How old are you? If you're not old enough to remember the early 80's with clear recollection, then that's why you're thinking 'wowww'.
The only acceptable tattoos you saw back then were retired military and biker gangs, women did not have tattoos. Different time era
@@jickie511 False. The 80s? I was there. It wasn't as common as today, but plenty of women had tattoos. My mother had tattoos in the 70s.
I don't think serial killers just all of a sudden apeared. I think it was happening all along. If it were not for the press and the general public questioning and putting pressure on the police, they would have continued looking at them as individual cases and not related. So if these cops were like that, most probably had the same train of thought process through out the years prior to this realization.
Keeper really is a interesting case.
He’s articulate as he speaks his mind very effectively.
This was great, thanks! 👍
I just read a book about Ridgeway, eerie to hear him mentioned here but not by name, he was over a decade from being captured
He was a very scary dude. Did the book discuss the reason he stopped killing years before he was arrested.
@@bestrealredhed Yes, he met a kind and gentle woman, fell in love and got happily married. He didn't actually stop, but he slowed down considerably. Previously his problem had been his inability to handle the women around him
@@jeffbrumby3442 thanks
Kemper is likable. Cops are so stupid all the guns and he didn't take a closer look at his cupboard.
Amazing🤔
Susan Rancourts Parents were so nice down to earth, they just had a beautiful daughter that was her mistake that was all there mistakes. Rip to all those girls. To all those parents I hope time has healed some of your pain.
Most ignorant comment i read
Ed Kemper was likable. He was especially intelligent and extremely well spoken. I always thought Ed would have been a successful, productive person had a few things gone differently. It’s an awful thing to be raised by narcissistic and abusive parents.
I’m a firm believer in not giving these serial killers any catchy media names, any book deals…nothing. They should be effectively shunned. Because, even more than killing innocent people, these type of deviants must have ATTENTION. That’s a real currency for these monsters.
Very interestic documentary! Thank you very much for uploading!👍🏻
Kemper is much more interesting than Bundy, Bundy bearly knew his owe impulses and why, Kemper understands exactly how it came to be.
totally agree. i feel dahmer was on the same level as kemper, as far as recognizing his sickness. bundy’s narcissism overpowers his ability to admit he is / was the bad guy.
@@weedywendy4266 I don't think darhmer understood how it manifested in himself, he got to the point he reduced it to god and the devil. He lacked insight, he knew he was sick how could he not with body's rotting in his flat. But if you listen to Kemper he can can fully understand how he became that way. And I wish he didn't go down that dark path because he could have done something good in life with that brain. Much more clever than any other murderer
Kempers IQ was higher than bundy's. Bundy was good at pretending to be smart (and he was on some level)..but Kemper really was. I kinda feel bad for Kemper because his childhood experiences steered him into becoming what he became. Bundy was just an impulsive pervert. He came from a good childhood (other than the claim of his granddad being his dad, which has never been proven).
Ed Kemper is a dumbass, high IQ doesn't make a person smart. All serial killers are stupid and take unnecessary risks that's why they almost all get caught.
Bundy was a manipulative coward.
I can’t believe and understand all of this I get upset for accidentally hitting a dog I pull to the side trembling and he hits em in the head this blows me away
So weird that you should say that. I just stumbled on this video, and I also just hit a dog last week! I was rounding a corner and he was laying in the road! I burst into tears, got out and tried to help him, but he was too afraid and limped away, I couldn't catch him. I called animal control, and that was all I could do. 😭😭😭 Be thankful for your empathy. It can get us in trouble just by having funky friends and giving them 1 2 3 4 5 chances, but honestly, once you get ahold of your empathy, you can use it for the good. The good of yourself. Anyway thank you for your comment.
There was something wrong with the Judge in Ted Bundy's trial telling him at 56:25, "You're a bright young man, you'd have made a good lawyer, I'd would've loved to have you practice in front of me, but you went a different way partner." Ted Bundy was suspected of violently murdering an untold number of women, and then the Judge having the gall to also say, "Take care of yourself, I don't have any animosity to ya, take care of yourself." No animosity? Just wow!
I mean he just sentenced him to death so what’s ur point?
I have a hard time believing that serial murder just sprung up in the '50s. I think it just got easier to recognize the smaller the world got.
Being a very skillful manipulator, he dominated the minds of people for a long time that he was innocent. But his escape due to his desire to kill and adding new ones to his victims revealed his identity as a sadistic murderous serial killer in the eyes of the public.
It’s very unnerving to listen Ed Kemper speak. Like he sounds so rational but he’s done some of the worst things you can think of.
Crazy Judge has NO animosity against serial killer Ted Bundy!!! OMG!!!😮 All of society is in serious trouble with Judges like this.😢
“The best revenge against evil is not not become more like them”
And having animosity doesn’t solve anything
Also do you think your angry comment is changing anything I guess I’m doing the same but just let go and not care
@@behindyou3689 That is exactly the problem. People who do NOT care. This helps NOBODY. You are just like THEM.
@@deborahtruthseeker112 my point was is that he still ordered his execution without a wrath and vengeance

49:30 - Look at those curtains? WTF? Is that a sheet from Walmart?
😂 the 70s LOL. Shag carpet, wood paneling on the walls, lava lamps, and those curtains! 🤣
@@stacyjaye6350 , I think it was late 80s by the time of that interview.
I think we hit a point where communications tech, investigative tech, authority coordination, and population centers matured to the degree where it was more difficult for a serial killer to operate undetected. I don’t think they were a new phenomena that materialized from nothingness. Imagine a killer operating in the old west along the frontier.
They still do. Samuel Little was one of the most horrific stories ever.
Wow, never saw that last segment on Kemper giving suggestions... Thanks!
Especially Ed Kemper is not appearing any evil to me at all. I am not a psychologist, but he was obviously abused by his mother, after which he became obsessed with her and compared all women to her. She herself had probably some mental sickness and was very likely intimitated by his physical appearance, after a certain age. She was trying to fight him off, instead of loving him. All that Kemper was missing, is love. And after his Dad dropped him off at his own parents house, he was the loneliest person in the world, in his sight of the world, All just, due to women, because his stepmom at his fathers home was the one, who wanted to get rid of him. His grandmother then tried to prohibit normal things a young man really should do, by going out and that just was the breaking point. He was just betrayed over and over by women, I myself would most likely have been as angry as him, because of the betrayel these blood related women did to him, I feel this and I understand him at the point, when he killed his Grandmother. He was just very sensitive and did not know what to do. He then was moved in a mental institution for grown ups and I would argue, why? That should never been considered in any case. He was just a victim of his familiy, who abandoned him. But they did not see this. Dude, he must have been so sad inside. But in a grown up facility he was just trained to become emotionless. And that led to his crimes. But do not forget that authorities said he should not in any case get released to his mother, but he was. So the authorities are also responsible, because he may not would have done those murders. I really can not understand why he killed those girls, he may have killed them, because they were coeds, but the real motive can only be told by him.
What I want to say, is, that he is no psychopath. Have mercy on him, even though, he did some terrible things. Ted Bundy was a psychopath, but not him.
I am sorry for any grammatically errors or errors at all, I am a German.
I agree with what you say. Kemper is very different from the other killers. Your English is excellent btw.
I haven’t seen this in years!
And when I first watched this it was a re-run and they still hadn’t caught Gary Ridgeway aka The Green River Killer!
📌 And to think that people trust dating sites and the plethora of social media platforms is utterly a behavioral risk to one's life. With today's happenings of atrocities, people will still disregard the simplistic element of common sense. Absolutely incredible.
Bundy used his real name at the boating lake. The judge was a fool for praising bundy.
Exactly
I like the PSA from Ed Kemper at the end. 👍
Great video content. Thanks 4 a great upload. New sub 🖤
Wrong. The Green River killer, Gary ridgway wasn’t intelligent and wasn’t baptising them by placing them in the river.
yes but he was cunning & devious
Well, that was one of their assumption while trying to draw a profile of him way before he got caught
It was so prevalent in this era because you had an entire generation subjected to and sexualized by detective magazines. Each of whose covers depicted very attractive women being assaulted in one form or fashion. A recipe for the evolution of the serial killer. Don't believe me do a search for them.

Lol at the Henry Lee Lucas segment
I, was around doing this time and remember this murder well. Many young women had said things like, "He just a big teddy bear!!! He's not going to hurt anyone silly!!!" They had no sense of danger, made fun of those that did. Too trusting, so sad.
They didn't say that after his arrest surely?
This was cool, a serial killer doc back when it was more common than at any other point in US history. It was interesting to see how US law enforcement at the time were just wising up to the exploits that allowed these crimes to occur with the frequency that they did.
Absolutely correct. Sadly, all of the innocence is gone. Cynicism is the rule of the day. Psychopaths are predators period. Their motive is relief from the constant torture of voices in their heads & their sick & sickening urges. Their brains are formed differently. They don't need a motive beyond having a differently formed brain.
Poor Ed K. He was broken by his mother. Where the blame lies is an impossible conundrum. You're now at peace Ed.
He isn't dead
Wow. He's still kicking, although will probably not last out the year.
Poor Ed? You couldn't see the excuses in his interview,it's all Deception, deceit,lies,his smooth talking is bait. The only true thing is his emotions towards his mother but he justifies killing her because He knew he was going to be captured so he on my mind killed her to avoid her from seeing him going to prison or potentially Killed.
i'm betting peace isn't directly on his menu until he gets his comeuppance for the scores yet to be settled on his karmic account.
He's literally a genius AND a sociopath. He used the same manipulation tactics to convince the parole board to give him an early release after the first time he was arrested for murder. He only turned himself in after killed his mother, because he knew he would get caught anyway.
I enjoy the vintage film footage
Why so many serial killers in the 70s and 80s?
There were really awesome things and fun people and fun music and fun entertainment and people really had fun but just like everything else it always had a dark side and things were pretty dark in those decades.
Guess it was easier to get away with it. No cctv, no cellphones, no fast communication
They think it’s because fathers coming back from ww2 with emotional issues and bringing this into the home and or missing fathers.
Also the new interstate highway allowed for killers to travel easily from place to place.
The 1950s was the last decade of the nation being a high trust society. Much of America still left doors unlocked and keys in cars.
By the 60s, counter culture took hold... the nuclear family was beginning to be sold as a bad thing.
In the 70s America began to enter into being a very low trust society. People were leaving sparcely populated close knit areas, for sprawling population centers. Women and girls ventured out into the world, on their own, more and more. Young women lived aIone more than ever before. Men and women mingled more as individuals, in social settings of unfamiliar people.
The 80s were just an amplified extension of the 70s...with even lower trust in society.
Also, the lack of technology allowed many serial killers of that time to go undetected for longer. The killer of those four college students in 2022, became a suspect because of the cell phone pings that they reviewed in that area.
We have continued, over the decades, to become more and more of a low trust society . We are less social on an in person level (we have more of a virtual social life now). We live in more of a surveillance state. No matter what you do through the course of a given day...your meta data, and the amount of times you're likely on camera... has increased exponentially.
As it gets more difficult for these type of people to engage in that sort of evil activity...they still endeavor to find new ways. This country has changed so much, demographically, in the last 20 years...killing has taken on more of an "us against them" sort of theme. Its more about masses of individuals, killing masses of individuals now.
It was a perfect storm. Jurisdictional blindness in law enforcement, lack of detection technology (cameras, databases), easier to travel, easier to be anonymous, no DNA, hitchhiking, rampant drugs & prostitution creating large victim pool, post-war breakdowns in nuclear family and violent or fear-based parenting. People didn't suspect "the normal guy" or actually believed "we're safe in our small town". Now we know better.
I suspect psychopathic/sociopathic sexual sadists are still as common as they were then, but as parenting continues to trend toward gentler disciplinary methods than what was common in the past, they'll decline. Plus there's so much material available online (simulated and real) that a sexual sadist doesn't even need to risk committing a crime to get his rocks off.
I think it's important to point out that all of this is just the US, though. I've seen a few docs on more recent (21st century) serial murderers in other countries (esp Russia it seems) that are getting away with it for all the reasons that affected the US in the 70s/80s
I thank all of the men and women in law enforcement for the hard work they do to catch and stop the monsters who want to eat our children and loved ones.Without them the world would be a much colder scarier darker place.
I think Bob kepple passed away if I heard correctly but don’t morn him celebrate his life ,he did good things for his fellow man and his life work was to make his fellow man safe so thank god for him and others like him who keep fighting on our behalf and on behalf of our families ,he was a good decent man and the world could use more like him.
Over the years I have grown to hate serial killers above all others or heartless murderers, who laugh in court.
These kinds of people make me sick and I hate that I hate them so much because it’s a very deep hate which I wish was not there.
Not because I want it to be so and only because I believe it should be done I believe the family’s of lost loved ones at the hands of a madman should be able to choose how killers are killed and there be no repercussions,it’s an awful thing murder is,in all cases .
Every time I see the mother of Denise Naslund it’s heartbreaking to see her pain and for her and all others in her same position.
The family’s should be able to decide a killer fate free to kill then in any way they want.
I don't necessarily agree with the idea that serial killing suddenly started in the 1940s. I think what changed was societies approach to law enforcement, and investigation techniques. Psychopaths, and sociopaths are rare, but they have likely existed for the entirety of human history. Think about the absolute butchery that went on in the wild west. Jesse James, and even Doc Holliday fit the definition of serial murderers.
Prior to the 1950s, serial killers weren't getting caught as much. In fact, there may have been far more of them in the past.
yeah especially for rich people with the right connections.... the amount of horrors they must have got away with....
People talked about how nice looking he was,but I could see that something wasn't right about him.His motive was "insanity."
You know it’s an old film when the narrator says he’s homosexual as if it’s important or relevant lol
Just found that interesting 4:40
Actually it is..Did you hear his explanation ?
It is relevant 😂😂 how tf do you think it isn’t?
@@ThunderDomeBoxingTalk watched without understanding 😂
Well it us relevant when its sexuell motivated crimes. Explains why hw choose the victims on that level.
When this documentary was made Gary Ridgway was still unknown. Haunting feeling.
they are not motivated by something their victim does. they are motivated by something internal, that has been building and focused on since they were a child, and fulfilled when they were young. It only goes downhill, after the first kill. there might be things in common in terms of victimology, but that has to do with the killers personal favorite vices.. it has nothing to do with the victim.
However, if ya'll believe that the human race always produced serial killers and mass murderers, we did not. We would NEVER have evolved as a life form, if we were as violent and primitive yesterday, as we are today. We are extinction level violent, fractured, deluded.
Healing the wounds, that civilization and colonization of the planet has made and allowed to fester, is mankinds only redemption or bid for longevity.
British killer Ian Brady got his gf Myra Hindley, to approach his child victims for him.
The problem with Ted Bundy was that he was well mannered, dressed well, articulate, charming, intelligent, attractive, thoughtful and so on. He surely had at least the same amount of not so good traits but i can understand how and why people didn't have a problem talking to him or be close to him.
His evil was on a whole different level.
Exactly ... he even worked for the Governor! as well as a suicide prevention hotline!
@@anneroy4560 He was a social worker and worked with police as well. Crazy.
When the reporter said the killer looked like an ordinary person! I was like DON’T they ALL LOOK AS NORMAL AS WE DO ? They could be sleeping right next to us and we wouldn’t even know!!
They didn’t have these kinds of cases prior to the 1950’s? Call me a conspiracy theorist but it makes me wonder if any of these guys had any involvement with the MK Ultra projects. 🤔 I think it’s a fair question considering what is now known about the project.
They had them. Just not as publicized.
Love it. "He's no longer dangerous."
What strikes me most about this documentary is how the almost entirely male law enforcement ‘s attitudes towards women contributed to more deaths. There wasn’t concern about multiple deaths of women because they were “prostitutes”, there wasn’t concern about two women disappearing at a lake because of “lifestyles”. Granted they were reflecting the social attitudes at the time but it’s awful to hear how some women’s lives were valued more than others.
No one seems to question Ed Kemper’s interpretation of why he raped and murdered young women.
The blame lies with his mother, not him because of the way he was “raised”. His father escapes blame despite being absent from his life. He had so many choices not to do the things he did but he chose to do them anyway. A male who chose to exert control by fear, by exerting power by rape and then death. A disgusting excuse for a human being.
Because a woman can never be responsible for something bad huh? 😂😂😂
are you trying to convince us that serial killers are bad people? uhh, cause, yeah, all the killing they did kind of convinces us of that, not your ridiculous comment.
Come on Doc, admit it, you guys don't know any more about this crazyness than I do. And that"s proven by calling him, "Nice." Demon's
He just had good manners. Inside his heart, he's always thinking evel. An example is, smiling at your boss, while cussing them out in your mind. Not nice, deadly.
I always felt Bundy went back for a second victim at lake Samamish because he was able to abduct Janice Ott so smoothly he figured a second would go just as well. And it seems it did.
Maybe but had to be a complete idiot to use his own name and assume that he was basically invisible,when many people saw him and other women who didn't go with him remembered him.
@@Gazman67 not an idiot - just brazen. If you ask me Bundy wanted to be found. Not because of a desire to stop but because he wanted people to know what he had done
@@Gazman67. That was always the big head scratcher for me. I mean, really. WTF? Besides that, he was kind of a criminal mastermind, so what happened there?
@@paulvoorhies8821 he got cocky
@@Gazman67 Bobby Joe Long let one of his victims go and got arrested for it. After a while their egos are so inflated they think they can get away with anything and they usually dont care about consequences either.
He is the
reason i do not like it when strangers talk to me.
Totally inappropriate comments from the judge to Bundy ... Wtf ...!
Must change interpretation of word, "Nice person."
Bundy became addicted to violent pornography and then said in an interview that it was what triggered his interest in reenacting, so to speak, what he wanted to experience in real life...what a shame.
Bundy's full of shit. He was a lying ass psychopath.
It started for him when he found a pile of roadside discarded violent porn magazines as a 11 yr old child (he asserts), *however* his aunt recalls waking up to him with a knife to her neck, grinning.
Elizabeth Wutzke
When Bundy was talking, he was lying. You can't believe a thing he said.
Sweety he was just trying to stay his execution, it was all bullshit. He was a sadist
Nah, what triggered Bundy wasn’t violent pornography. It was violent sexual sadism…
When an assailant is arrested, make sure he'll stay in prison for the rest of their lives, and that they'll NEVER be paroled!!!!!!

Edmund Kemper, doc is great insight, Autopsy shows on HBO also great
What year is this documentary from?
1984
@@nilswestman4013 Yes, It looks fairly dated, the clothes. But it is informative and interesting none the less.
At the beginning of this, Robert Ressler is wrong when he says - "Crimes like these were never known, with any frequency, prior to the fifties".
So called serial killers have always existed, and are no more common today than throughout history.
Also, they're not uniquely American or European. They exist, and have always existed, in every society and culture.
What this program is, is "fear porn", designed to be frightening and titillating. It is no more valid or realistic in the views that it presents and, has no more value than a cheap "slasher movie".
The reasons behind so many of these crimes are the from the really ugly side of humanity that would make me have a breakdown if I had to work in this environment. There would be things you'd see that, in a way, make the officers involved, a type of victim due to the psychological trauma. At least it would to me. I hope that made some sense, just couldn't be succinct!
Those Seattle police finding bodies in the Green River should look at this guy called Gary Ridgeway, he’s a wrong un!
Hi new subscriber here! Can I request for a documentary of John Wayne Gacy.? Thank you.
WAIT! Did he say, "I don't have any animosity towards you. Take care of yourself."?????!!!!!!! Oh, ok. Nvm that you have murdered women and children and savagely violated them. No hard feelings dude. GTFOH!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Never trust a man in a turtleneck.
Listening to ed kemper talk, you’d never know!!!!!! Does anyone know what year this documentary came out??
The 90’s sometime. Probably early 90’s.
Ed Kemper, while what he did was absolutely horrible, I can't help but feel for him. He is a product of his mother's horrendous abuse. The fact that he stopped killing, that he said he was done and ready to turn himself in after he killed his mom, it says a lot. The kind of woman she was, I wish he had killed her sooner, then all those other women would still be alive. When he was talking about her final words to him, that snide remark she made, and you could hear him choking up and starting to cry, I felt for him. I'm not excusing what he did, I'm not saying that it was 100% his mother's fault he turned out the way he did, but just from watching other things about him, when he was away from her, he flourished, when he was around her, he was dead inside. When he was released from the mental institution, they told the State of California to NOT release him into his mother's care, that it would cause him to regress and become violent again. They didn't listen, they let his mother take him, and those women died.
