What's Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes about?
The docuseries brings the infamously twisted mind of serial killer Ted into the light for the very first time with never-before-heard interviews from the “Jack the Ripper of the United States,” himself.
This unique series focuses on a man whose personality, good looks and social graces defied the serial-killer stereotype, allowing him to hide in plain sight as he committed the brutal sex-crime slayings of more than 30 women before being caught in 1978.
While on trial, Bundy received extraordinary adoration from American women, which made his gruesome crimes doubly haunting, even in an era of anything-goes mayhem.

How was Ted Bundy executed?
The execution of smooth-talking serial killer Ted was celebrated by hundreds of people who chanted "burn, Bundy, burn" outside his death chamber.
The cold-blooded murderer, who confessed to killing 30 women the night before he died, was electrocuted in Florida on January 24, 1989, aged 42.
That day, hundreds of people gathered outside Florida State Prison to cheer on the execution – creating a "circus atmosphere" outside, according to journalist Jon Word.
His death even inspired Souvenir T-shirts which were sold among the crowd, some of who chanted “Burn, Bundy, burn” and set off fireworks when his death was confirmed.
The sex-crazed psychopath – who would often abuse the dead bodies of his victims – spent the night crying and praying before his state-sanctioned killing.
He also spent time with FBI agent Bill Hagmaier mapping out his murders state-by-state.
While he confessed to 30 killings across seven US states in the 1970s, many people who have studied his case believe the number is much larger.
