Ted Bundy’s long-term girlfriend, Elizabeth Kendall, and other survivors came forward for the first time to participate in this five-part docuseries, framing his infamous crimes from a female perspective. With an emphasis on the victims, Falling for a Killer uses archival video footage, original photographs, and new interviews to investigate the serial killer’s attitude toward women.
Ted Bundy, in full Theodore Robert Bundy, was an American serial killer and rapist, one of the most notorious criminals of the late 20th century. He sexually assaulted and killed several young women in Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, and Florida between 1974 and 1978. Although he would ultimately confess to 28 murders, some estimated that he was responsible for hundreds of deaths. Following a well-publicized trial, he was sentenced to death in 1979 for the murder of two college students. In the following year, he again was sentenced to death, this time for the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl. Bundy was executed in Florida’s electric chair in 1989.
