In the last three months of 1978, Ted Bundy was involved in several significant events:
October 1978: Bundy was in prison in Utah, awaiting trial for the murder of Caryn Campbell. He had already been convicted of kidnapping Carol DaRonch and was serving time for that crime.
November 1978: Bundy was transferred from Utah to Colorado to face charges for the murder of Caryn Campbell. He was held in the Garfield County Jail in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
December 1978: Bundy made his second escape from custody. On December 30, he escaped from the Garfield County Jail by climbing through a hole in the ceiling of his cell, which he had sawed open over several weeks. He then made his way to Florida, where he would later commit more murder.
Ted Bundy was working on his escape when he was writing this letter. I also have 2 more letters which I will be selling after this letter.
On November 28, Ted Bundy was in Colorado. He had escaped from custody twice in the state: once in June 1977 and again just before the 1978 new year. During his time in Colorado, he was suspected in the abduction and murder of 23-year-old nurse Caryn Campbell in Aspen. After being transported from the Garfield County Jail in Glenwood Springs to the Pitkin County Courthouse, Bundy escaped by jumping out of a second-story window. A massive manhunt ensued, and he was eventually captured after being on the run for six days. Later, in December 1977, Bundy orchestrated another escape from jail in Glenwood Springs by sawing a hole in his cell’s ceiling. He crawled through that hole, stole clothes, and walked out the front door. His crimes in Colorado are forever part of the state’s histor
On a chilly November night in 1977, the notorious serial killer Ted Bundy was incarcerated in the Pitkin County jail in Colorado. His charm and intelligence had already drawn significant public attention during his trial. Despite the appalling nature of his crimes, Bundy had become something of a celebrity.
But Bundy was not one to be confined. He had already escaped once before, in 1975, by jumping out of a prison window in Colorado. Now, on November 28, 1977, he made his second daring escape. Using a makeshift tool, he cut a hole in the ceiling of his cell, climbed through, and vanished into the night.
For several days, Bundy remained on the run, eluding authorities. His escape sparked fear and panic, as people wondered where he would strike next. The manhunt intensified, and law enforcement agencies across multiple states were on high alert.
Finally, on December 30, 1977, Bundy was captured in Aspen, Colorado. His reign of terror had temporarily come to an end, but the memory of his crimes would haunt the nation for years to come.
Bundy’s case inspired a series of popular novels and films devoted to serial murder, cementing his place in criminal history as one of the most chilling and enigmatic killers of all time. His true victim count remains unknown, but his legacy as a sadistic sociopath endures, even after his execution in the electric chair on January 24, 19894.
Title: “The Colorado Connection: Ted Bundy’s Escape and Evasion”
In the crisp winter of 1977, Ted Bundy found himself ensnared in the rugged beauty of Colorado. His twisted path of terror had already left a trail of blood across several states, but it was here that he would face both capture and escape.
The Abduction in Aspen: January 1975
Ted arrived in Snowmass Village, ostensibly on winter break from law school. Within the first two weeks of the new year, he abducted and murdered his first victim in Colorado: 23-year-old nurse Caryn Campbell. Her life was extinguished, her body hidden in the snow-covered wilderness.
The Great Escape: June 1977
Bundy’s reign of terror escalated when he was extradited to Colorado, suspected in the abduction and murder of Caryn Campbell. While awaiting trial, he orchestrated a daring escape from the Garfield County Jail in Glenwood Springs. During a courthouse hearing, he requested access to the library. Seizing the opportunity, he leaped out of a second-story window and vanished into the rugged landscape.
For six days, Bundy eluded capture. Close to the summit of Aspen Mountain, he broke into a cabin, stealing clothes, food, and supplies. His evasion continued as he headed south, seemingly aiming for Crested Butte. But then, inexplicably, he drove back to Aspen in a stolen car.
Recaptured and Orchestrating Another Escape: December 1977
Aspen police finally captured Bundy after his six-day run. He was jailed again in Glenwood Springs. But Bundy was relentless. Over the next six months, he meticulously planned another escape. Using a saw, he cut a hole in his cell’s ceiling, crawled through it, and broke into the chief jailer’s apartment to steal clothes. Nonchalantly, he walked out the front door on December 30, 1977.
