Buffalo Bill's Ted Bundy arm cast ploy to lure in Catherine Martin.
How did he know that would work?
shareMost likely because he's tried it before and it worked.

Because it worked very well for Mr Bundy

shareTed Bundy is not the only person who has lured someone in with fake injury. People still do it. Police do it to get suspects without violence.
shareI always wonder how people fall for it. Like, ok, fine, help lift the chair, but dont get right in the van for crying out loud!
shareI'm not surprised people are inherently trusting, and I don't like when people watch thriller films and think they are a reflection of real life.
If the film is depicting normal people, they will do normal things like helping someone.
But this being a movie, normal things don't follow.
We can't confuse entertainment and a factor a of fear to make us think life is filled with danger. It's not healthy.
