The door was still locked. He banged on the door and still no answer. He walked to a payphone and called two times. Nothing. He walked back to the apartment and tried the door again. This time it was unlocked. He didn't see Christine so walked to the bathroom and found her nude beaten and bruised body submerged in a partially filled bathtub.

    Many of us true crime buffs as well as some experts don't believe that Bundy first started killing in 1974. In fact, the disappearance of eight-year-old Ann Burr in the early morning hours of August 31, 1961 is possibly the first murder committed by a then 14-year-old Ted. The intriguing connection and his confession of a “hypothetical first murder” makes him look good for this one. We also dive into the most mysterious of Bundy's murders—Caryn Campbell at the Wildwood Inn. Oh and don't forget the knives little toddler Teddy put around his aunt while she napped.
