The Trail of Ted Bundy: Digging Up The Untold Stories

This true crime book revisits the killings carried out by Ted Bundy, who targeted young women across the United States, with a particular focus on the Pacific Northwest. Rather than retelling the familiar headlines, the author draws on people who knew Bundy personally, along with the friends and families of his victims. Some of these accounts have never appeared in print, and several details about the victims were never passed on to investigators. Two former detectives who had worked with the author on an earlier book also contribute, correcting common misconceptions and describing how Bundy's crimes affected everyone who crossed his path. The result is a portrait of the investigators who pursued him, the officials who guarded him, and the many others drawn into the case.
