I've read all of her books, many of them several times. She was a brilliant writer. RIP Ann, I'm sure she saved lives by revealing how dangerous people are.
Yes, I've read some of her books twice and seen something new second time around. As a true crime writer myself I admire her research. It ain't easy to do and then put down on the page
I don't easily say about famous popular or well-known people that I love them, but she captured my heart as a lovable and autentique individual. Rip, and I love u and would love to read your books, which is the part of u that will always be alive and with us.
I feel the same way as you, I've got most of her books the way she writes is so good the books are like you n I talking and explained clearly, I've this morning purchased the last of the ones I have found on Audible, been saving my credits haha, but yes she will be sorely missed,
Ann Rule is my absolute Favorite writer. She writes true crime in a totally down to earth way. She tells the details without all the blood and guts, like men crime writers do. I have so many of her books. The first one I bought was Small Sacrifices, years ago. I literally had to MAKE myself put it down. My second was Stranger Beside Me. I just loved her.
This interviewer was Mastery in Motion!!! He was well informed, clearly intelligent AND displayed just the right amount of "fan-girling" to make Ann feel truly appreciated and you could see her open up more and more. AWESOME UPLOAD!
They actually should make a movie of her life. It sounds like it was very colorful. Loved her. As much as I like her books I think I really like HER! She has a really great personality.
I was able to speak to the reigning queen of crime writing on a radio show in Portland, OR years ago. Love her writing and respect her strong advocacy for the innocent.
Ann Rule was such a wonderful woman who has done so much for law enforcement. I may not had a chance of reading one of her books, but I love learning about her. It's so sad that Ann Rule is no longer with us. I can only hope her children are continuing her legacy. Rest in Peace Mrs. Rule. You will be greatly missed.❤
She was an amazing woman, we conversed through email, not long after Ridgeway was arrested. I owned a house down the road from where he lived, but at the time he was arrested I was living in Belgium. She was what you see here, she was real. One of my husbands co-workers sister was murdered. During this time she met Ann and they bonded and Ann helped her through it. When it was time for trial, Ann was there at every part of it. She helped her through the trial and even stayed in touch with her after.
That's honestly amazing I've always been a horror fan but I remember my first purchase of an Ann rule book WITH MY OWN MONEY and as my knowledge grew of the morbid she became such an inspiration. Such a soft woman .
@@beckismith3934 Ted was literally the last person that she would have thought capable of those horrible crimes. I became interested in law and crime, when I found a book with pictures, of true crimes. And I lived here when on the news they were looking for a man named Ted, in a blue volkswagon beetle, was being searched for after two women went missing from the park. And in 71 in my town one of the HIll Side Strangler's, Bianci was arrested for killing two college girls in Bellingham.
@@jc478 and that's what makes serial killers so scary. N dangerous is they seriously were your neighbors . U went to church with them. Shared your family . U just never know who u r letting in your home .
@@beckismith3934 And all of the people around them, had no idea, and never would have thought them capable. Makes you look differently at the world and the humans in it.
RIP. Miss Ann Rule 🌷I read every book you wrote! If my house was to go up in flames, my 📚 books would be the 1st things Id save! Im sorry your greedy sons treated you so dis Respectfully after all you did for them! I know how it feels! Very Sad! I hope that your at peace in heaven! Because your truly loved on earth! Miss you lots! 💔☝✌💕
What did her sons do? I hadn't heard. I've read a few of her books, but I haven't read them all. I love reading and music and my books and albums would be the things I'd try to save in a fire.
RIP Anne. Loved her books. She really unfolds a story and makes you understand the full story. Great writer. It's a pity because she would of written a great story of Evil Chris Watts.
His first name is Evil? Man, we should’ve seen that coming lol I’m just kidding, I promise!!! I actually have no idea about Chris Watts or what he did otherwise I wouldn’t be able to make light of it I’m sure, but yes I second your sentiments. Anne was an amazing human being and an amazing writer. Rest In Peace To Miss. Rule
@@memyselfi2005 Chris Watts murdered his pregnant wife and two little girls because he was cheating on her and she suspected that something was going on because he wouldn't be affectionate toward her anymore.
Just started the stranger beside me. Only 30 some pages (besides the new chapter from 2008 and preface). It didn’t take long to realize everything I had heard about Ann Rule as a writer was true. Amazing writer, sad to learn she’s passed away. RIP
I just adore her writing, I have read every one of her books, she was a wonderful beautiful lady I miss her books but i will forever read all her books. I also think she is Spot On in her opinion of Ted Bundy after, I have been studying this man for over 20 years I've also come to the same conclusion. RIP Dear Ann I miss you X
rest in peace ann i read all her books and own them too even met her at a barns and nobles in silverdale washington and got two books signed by her i will truley miss her lots. im truely glad i got to meet her in person even though it was only one time.
i sooo wish i could go back and do this love this lady she inspired me to want to figure out WHY?people do what they do only if someone sent me to school and made it more important to go to school oh well it does sound interesting worth listening to always loved her she strong and smart i've read every book this is really worth listening to
She seems like such a kind, soft spoken and intelligent lady. No wonder Ted Bundy wanted to open up to her when he was arrested in Florida. He probably saw her as a maternal figure. Much different from his own tight-lipped, secretive and simple mother/sister - sad as her life story must have been.
Fantastic story. I never knew her grandparents were head of the jail. That she had so many in law enforcement and prosecutors in her family. She’s my favorite author.
Fascinating writer. Can't imagine the sinking feeling she had when she realized for the first time Ted Bundy was a killer. Good thing she wasn't his type.
I agree that was one wild story Bryson his life story of movie or maybe his crimes were portrayed on the FBI series I emailed her once after I read the Scott Scurlock story I asked her if his tree fort was still in Olympia as far as she knew she said yes it's still there
She is really a very interesting woman, and at the same time I also find her so down to earth and humble. She raised 4 children on her own, wow. She really us a wow person and bravo woman to me.
@Nikki I just read the link you provided. It made me teary eyed. As a single mamma she did everything for her children. This is just abhorrent. Rest In Peace beautiful Ann.
EVERY parent who is mistreated by their children, mistreated their child first to make them behave that way. NO exceptions. The fact that they would even WANT to do that to their parent, is proof in and of itself that she did something to them first. She either abused, neglected or betrayed her sons in some way to make them do that. NEVER shift blame of a child's behaviour on to the child, it is ALWAYS the parents fault because they had full power over the child and raised them. If you blame the child then you contribute to the cycle and culture of child abuse. ALL YOU KNOW is her side of the story
Buck, nope, there are ungrateful adults who were treated quite well and feel that they have a right to their parents hard work. It even says in the article that Andrew is a drug and gambling addict who even forged checks because the $25,000 a month wasn't enough for him. Once you're an adult, you are responsible for your own behavior. If she was that bad of a mother then he could have simply walked away from her.
just found out yesterday she died i cant believe it. i spoke to her once on the phone after reading ted Bundy biography that she'd written she was very pleasant!
Love her books. For me, the mosti amazing case was 'Everything She Ever Wanted.' I really appreciate her insights into the background and psychology of the protagonists.
She wrote to me a couple of times a few years before she died, came over as a lovely lady, We could not find her books in the UK so I wrote her to ask why.
I certainly respect Ann's writing, and she clearly knows how to speak while commanding an audience on in writing or clearly in interviews, but she was a historical fiction writer. The story was there, just fill in the blanks for data that you do not have, or cannot find for lack of time or willingness of due diligence. Although she may have admitted this somewhere, but Salt Lake Sheriff's Dpt Jerry Thompson told me that when he interviewed her several times when they were investigating Ted She was absolutely adamant and vicious when defending Ted as a solid human, incapable of his crimes he was being vetted out for. After several difficult interviews with her, Jerry was shocked to learn that she had taken this opportunity to build a monstrous career on the back of her "friend Ted." I get it, I get being an opportunist but there is an eythical and moral problem here.
Easy to see just how a genuine great person Anne Rule was. The best crime writer ever. Fictional stories don’t come anywhere close. Anne Rule lived what she wrote about. What a lovely soul. 🌹🕊
She seemed like such a down to earth person. I can see how people would open up to her. Can you imagine Ted Bundy telling her "Be sure and lock your doors Ann. I don't want anything to happen to you."
as soon as he mentions the lady who taught her to crochet, my heart jumped. I love to crochet too and write and read. This journalist did a lot of research and asked a lot of great questions.
Bubble AnnA tbh I would have rather asked about the girls who lost their lives at his hands. I wish there was some way to pay tribute to his victims lives without mentioning him. Many of these young girls were outstanding people who had goals and bright paths ahead of them. Lynda Ann Healey wanted to work with special needs children, Susan Rancourt wanted to work in medicine, Georgeann Hawkins wanted to work in broadcast journalism, Denise Naslund wanted to become a computer programmer, Caryn Campbell was a nurse and was about to get married, Margaret Bowman wanted to be an art historian... just to name a few. Imagine what we lost with their deaths? Think of all the disabled children Lynda Ann Healy could have helped, think of the social movements Georgeann Hawkins could have done with her journalisms, think about the impact Denise Naslunds contributions to technological software could have had...we will never know because their lives were senselessly ended.
I can’t imagine how hard it must have been for women who wanted to join law enforcement back in those days. It’s 2024 and those jobs are still a boys’ club
This is as Fascinating as Ann Rule, herself, was. Died in 2015 at age 83- cannot believe she’s been gone that long- Rest Easy Ann- you were an INVALUABLE ASSET to society. Ann was a staunch supporter of Ted Bundy and supported him at trial UNTIL the bite mark evidence- went into the ladies room and vomited into the sink. Never saw or communicated with him again.
Imagine sitting next to Bundy, then you find out WHAT HE REALLY IS! OMG! DUDE WAS KEEPING HEADS FOR HEAD!!! SICK! RIP ANN, YOU ARE A FANTASTIC WRITER! GOD BLESS YOU 🙏😇💓
One thing is the interviewer made a mistake - it is not about 'psychotic'people - real difference between sociopaths and people who are unfortunately experiencing psychosis.
@beatakrejcova I agree!! She is wonderful!! I'm reading 2 of her books right now, The Stranger Beside me (for the second time) and Green River Running Red (for the first time). Very, very interesting books.
When I heard, that she passed away, I became so very sadden for days. She was like a close friend to me, although we never met.😢 I wish she would have written more books. Its not that I would have liked more murderers out killing people, but I would wished she would have written about the hillside stranglers, and other crazies.
My cousins husband worked with Ann on the Bundy case. She is an exceptional person and excellent writer. The kind of cases they work on must keep them up nights. Not many people can do that.
What the heck has this anything to do with violent offenders such as Ted Bundy? Did you watch the same interview? She explains it pretty well. Sure, the upbringing is part of the making of a criminal mind, but a big part is genetics and predesposition. Ted Bundy didn't live in crime, drugs and poverty. He had a pretty messed up family, yes, but his mind worked very well on its own. That's why I told you to read. This is a whole other category of criminal we're talking about.
She came to Wilmington DE after her book about the Capano case was published. I went to the book signing and met her. She was very interesting. Of the three books I read on the case, hers was the one I enjoyed the most.
I have had every book Ann wrote. A brilliant beautiful lady. Pity her son grounded her into the ground. Standing over her demanding money and early inheritance. 😢 Excellent interview ❤
Ann Rule, knew Ted Bundy very well. A little too well. She and Ted worked at a Suicide crisis center together. She also lived in different states where Ted lived at the same time he did. Ann had a direct connection to four of Ted's victims, and provided detailed info on one of them, Denise Naslund, as being "heavily involved in the occult, with interest in witchcraft, alchemy and rttual;" How would Ann Rule know that? Naslund was the baby sitter of one of Rule's friends. Her good friend on the police force, Herb Swindell, was involved in a lot of strange occult practices, and rumor has it that she. Swindell and Ted were all part of a Satanic group in Seattle that was practicing human sacrifice. Ann Rule has a very shady side, and I would say there is a good reason she was such an effective crime writer -- she had first hand knowledge. Too many strange "coincidences" with Ted Bundy, too many to be considered coincidences.
The first couple years of infantry is so crucial i am diagnosed with ASPD anti social personality disorder my mother abandoned me after i was born and it just went down hill from there
She's right- I listened to Diane Downs' parole hearing on RUclips (both of them) and she's lost her mind. She can't even pretend to be believable. The latest parole hearing she stated that she might be the biological daughter of King Michael of Romania and that hackers organized the shooting back in 1983. She also stated that she plans to make $200k/year crocheting blankets and fixing bicycles and doing lawn work. She even told her elderly mother to stop hiring people to trim her trees because she'll "be home soon and can do it". She continually denies shooting her kids and now she states that when she changed her story multiple times during interrogations, she was simply describing dreams she had and wasn't truly changing her story. I just finished Small Sacrifices and loved it.
I've read all of her books, many of them several times. She was a brilliant writer. RIP Ann, I'm sure she saved lives by revealing how dangerous people are.
Are you american???

When I heard, that she passed away, I became so very sadden for days. She was like a close friend to me, although we never met.😢 I wish she would have written more books. Its not that I would have liked more murderers out killing people, but I would wished she would have written about the hillside stranglers, and other crazies.
A lovely conversation .
This was great. Ann was amazing she explains everything so clearly ♥️
I think her book on the green River killer is the only one I never read. Is it titled the green River running red??
Good interview
I love her
My cousins husband worked with Ann on the Bundy case. She is an exceptional person and excellent writer. The kind of cases they work on must keep them up nights. Not many people can do that.
Enjoyed her books very much.
What the heck has this anything to do with violent offenders such as Ted Bundy? Did you watch the same interview? She explains it pretty well. Sure, the upbringing is part of the making of a criminal mind, but a big part is genetics and predesposition. Ted Bundy didn't live in crime, drugs and poverty. He had a pretty messed up family, yes, but his mind worked very well on its own. That's why I told you to read. This is a whole other category of criminal we're talking about.
She came to Wilmington DE after her book about the Capano case was published. I went to the book signing and met her. She was very interesting. Of the three books I read on the case, hers was the one I enjoyed the most.
What a gem
I have had every book Ann wrote. A brilliant beautiful lady. Pity her son grounded her into the ground. Standing over her demanding money and early inheritance. 😢
Excellent interview ❤
Ann Rule, knew Ted Bundy very well. A little too well. She and Ted worked at a Suicide crisis center together. She also lived in different states where Ted lived at the same time he did. Ann had a direct connection to four of Ted's victims, and provided detailed info on one of them, Denise Naslund, as being "heavily involved in the occult, with interest in witchcraft, alchemy and rttual;" How would Ann Rule know that? Naslund was the baby sitter of one of Rule's friends. Her good friend on the police force, Herb Swindell, was involved in a lot of strange occult practices, and rumor has it that she. Swindell and Ted were all part of a Satanic group in Seattle that was practicing human sacrifice. Ann Rule has a very shady side, and I would say there is a good reason she was such an effective crime writer -- she had first hand knowledge. Too many strange "coincidences" with Ted Bundy, too many to be considered coincidences.
She is 83 (2014) and might not be writing for much longer. I mean, she might want to retire someday.
a writer like her would probably be compelled to write til the day she dies. the real writers i know can't NOT write.
wow did not realize that. her daughter is also a writer
kkg108 She passed away.
That "Fever in the Heart" one was really strange!
Write On! 👊 get it? Right On.... Write On! 📝📌 love ya! Lori NY... 2018...♥
Miss you Ann - you were the best!!
I love her books. RIP Ann. ❤️
The first couple years of infantry is so crucial i am diagnosed with ASPD anti social personality disorder my mother abandoned me after i was born and it just went down hill from there
She's right- I listened to Diane Downs' parole hearing on RUclips (both of them) and she's lost her mind. She can't even pretend to be believable. The latest parole hearing she stated that she might be the biological daughter of King Michael of Romania and that hackers organized the shooting back in 1983. She also stated that she plans to make $200k/year crocheting blankets and fixing bicycles and doing lawn work. She even told her elderly mother to stop hiring people to trim her trees because she'll "be home soon and can do it". She continually denies shooting her kids and now she states that when she changed her story multiple times during interrogations, she was simply describing dreams she had and wasn't truly changing her story. I just finished Small Sacrifices and loved it.
