Still Think About the Families

I hope that that Louise Bundy is resting in peace also. It's not her fault what her son became. Like many others, he fooled her with the fake front he presented.

I always feel for the victims and their families. The pain that Bundy's victims endured and the grief of their families (and I feel this about all serial killer victims, another case in point being John Wayne Gacy) is so difficult to read about, and when you see footage of the parents especially it's just heartbreaking. Many of them have probably passed on now; I hope they are reunited with their children and are in a happier place. But those young people who lost their lives would probably be parents and grandparents now had they been allowed to live.

I have an interest in criminology so I can understand why serial killers are studied, but it bothers me to no end how the victims are always pushed into the background, and it's not fair. They had the right to live. They were loved, they had their whole lives ahead of them. Innocent lives taken away and families destroyed because some cold-blooded sociopath decided to play god and get an evil thrill from another person's pain.

Cultfilmfeverforever, you seem like a very sweet lady, and the world could use more people like you, thanks for your heartfelt reply. As you said, murdererers are often the ones who are idolized by society, while the victims are long forgotten. It's beyond sickening. It's like in the satirical movie "Natural Born Killers".

Wow, that's amazing that your cousin knew that dancer victim! I do not ever recall seeing her name anywhere, but she is a very strong person to have overcome that. I read about how her career as a dancer was over after the attack and attempted murder, and I believe she also became partially deaf? I wonder about one of Bundy's earlier victims, who they often refer to as Joni Lenz. Bundy broke into her flat and rammed an object into her genitals and beat her. Then there is little Ann-Marie Burr, who was 8 when she vanished. Many speculate that Ted Bundy kidnapped her when he was 15. Can you imagine her poor family? Her parents died never knowing where their daughter went. I read an article on Huff Post that failed to link him to her, but that could be store to the passage of time, which often deteriorates physical evidence.

You sound like you'd make a great couselor or social worker! If you aren't, perhaps you should consider!
