Ted Bundy's mother tried to terminate pregnancy/Ted talks about his grandfather

Thx. There are other SK's on that doc. Ted's is the last. It's about 30min long

[@birdybirdy846]

Ted would love that people are still arguing and talking about him.

[@cosmosadorabilis7677]

She really didn't want him.

[@Cbcw76]

She didn't want to be abandoned by the man to leave her in a world - and worse, in her father's house - at a time when unwed mothers were castigated.

[@jswan312]

Wow. You can hear in his voice how defensive and emotional he got when he was confronted with the truth about his grandfather. What an incredible amount of denial he was in. By the time he was two months old, he had already experienced a crippling amount of trauma.

[@Cbcw76]

And would for years more, and so tender were those wounds that he would forever lie about them, probably convincing himself that Granddad wasn't the evil person that his own kids said he was. Ted was a man-made monster... rather, a grandfather-made monster.

[@kylecreed2748]

I got chills throughout the Bundy segment. A few things learned I had never known.. and still SO much we don’t.

[@lasenoritacometa1977]

Bundy didn’t have a chance to be a good person. Pick and choose who you wish to have a family with. If you’re going to bring a child into this world make sure it’s stable,secure,safe and loving.

[@chrisfernandes5858]

His mother was raped by her father, she didn't have much of a choice

[@Romulan2469]

I have to say that I don’t fully agree with the comments made in this video. First it’s never been proven that the grandfather was his actual father and second his mother clearly did love Ted dearly even if the grandfather was abusive and controlling. I’m not saying a rough childhood didn’t contribute to Bundy’s depraved acts of violence to young girls and women, but it’s not the main factor. I have always believed he was a “bad seed” from birth and then environmental factors coupled with a reclusive personality led to his path of destruction. Many people come from broken homes and don’t become serial killers.

[@dora1980]

I guess you are very young. It's not about broken homes, Ted's parents were never married. The kids noawdays don't understand how the world saw and how they treated the kids who were born out of wedlock. I don't have to say the word they used for these children.You know what word they used.

[@hinaynihorvath3926]

Right!

[@jordanlennox5435]

It’s actually not been proven, genetically speaking, it has been hypothesized that his grandfather was his father.

[@sweetPie_123]

In a documentary I saw, his childhood friend said that his grandfather raped his mother. So his grandfather actually is his father.

[@fizzao1342]

I believe Ted’s grandfather has been ruled out by DNA testing.

[@hinaynihorvath3926]

[@desitrump]

😂

[@Christrulesall2]

Cooked!

[@douglasgilman893]

When you watch these videos you kind of see and feel for the first time how the monster actually came to be. I mean my gosh what a messed up story this is.

[@suehassall4405]

I don’t feel any judgement is due to Ted’s mother. She was in an extremely difficult position in those days. I think she suffered a lot before and during Ted’s early childhood which we’ll never really know the full extent of, and then again when it became clear that her son was an habitual killer and he was going to be executed. That’s an awful lot for a mother to go through.

[@NinnaTenn]

she knew not to open her legs...she did.

[@NinnaTenn]

At least the real father-after having sex with the mother,took her to have an abo...too bad it nothing happened with the pills.Too bad. The mother KNEW her father,KNEW he would not forgive her for being preggers and not wed...Why did he go and open her legs?In those days only real slu...TSS did that.

[@annabanana8700]

And by all accounts she was a loving mother to her children (four of whom didn’t grow up to be serial killers). Just the fact that she took Ted away from her abusive father on her own and in that time period… certainly easier said than done.

[@standbyforsummarycombustion]

I haven't seen this one before, Thanks for uploading Carol👍

[@schoomzer]

According to genetic testing, his grandfather was not his biological father.

[@Amarella-kz6wu]

Why

[@jflsdknf]

According to who this lady who wants to get famous and draw an audience to her movie?

[@MooseCall]

The end of this clip confirmed that I won't be watching this show lol

[@redjirachi1]

Most people from broken homes don't become serial killers, but few serial killers who weren't in it for profit were from healthy homes

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

That is truly one pregnancy that should have been terminated.

[@ManedLioness]

I kinda thought the same at first but when I think about it, it makes me wonder if this attempt to obliterate him actually was the very thing that made him this way. Had he been raised by a mother who wanted him and in a normal/loving setting, he probably would have been ok.

[@leonardosomma4196]

​@@ManedLionessmaybe, maybe not, there were a lot of families back in the day that raised children like the way he was, even Jack Nicholson's, but none of them became killers. Still though, you are right that this probably didn't help,it's clear there was always something wrong with him but I just don't think it was ever taken seriously or dealt with right, then again though, I can't pretend to know what was going on in Bundy's head to make him the way he was, it could have been anything that people suggested his upbringing, antisocial personality disorder, possible D.I.D. but I guess something in particular might've caused it

[@djolivierastro]

4:35 doesn't look like Ted Bundy at all

[@DrVonChilla]

Ted is actually the kid on the right. The filmmakers zoomed in on the wrong child.....

[@dora1980]

Yes, Ted is the kid on the right.

[@throwball2248]

I wonder if ted knew he was supposed to be aborted and then with the pills the mother took could have triggered all his demons.

[@ManedLioness]

If he knew about it then I suppose this somewhat explains (if not justifies) his rage with women who resembled her.

[@seanwheeler580]

If the brain isn’t right people aren’t right , all serial killers have the same damage in the area for compassion, 500 years before everyone was a killer think about that!

[@HaveCommonSense76]

Huh?

[@Cbcw76]

Humans have been killing for a few years more than "500 years." Yeah... quite a shock, huh?

[@GuaranteedEtern]

This woman is a great interview - I know she interviewed Bundy the day before his execution - are there more recordings of it?

[@yurizafurizaki5574]

[@shaylawatson1244]

I bet you his grandpa is his dad

[@ShannonsChannel]

they did DNA testing and he was not the father.

[@Italianpenicillin]

It’s quite possible

[@annmarieelliott6717]

Thats incest.

[@Cbcw76]

That's a bet that was lost decades ago. Not correct at all. Louise detailed her affair years before Ted's execution even.

[@hcf555]

Anyone interested in how childhood or specifically pedagogy shapes psyche should read 'for your own good - the roots of violence in child-rearing' by Alice Miller. Brilliant and compelling book.

[@johnbland8088]

Pedagogy!?

[@ShannonsChannel]

Interesting that it hasn't been studied more as to what affect the abortion pills may have had on Ted in utero.

[@buttercup86900]

Yeah. It could have caused his psychopathy and affected his brain

[@annabanana8700]

What is it with male serial killers and the need to blame it all on their mothers??? I knew that his mother just HAD to be responsible! Never mind that she stood by him and begged for his life even after discovering what a POS he was! She was young and in a difficult situation, big deal. Even Jeffrey Dahmer would call bull on that! There’s no reason or excuse if you will for Ted being the monster that he was.

[@stephendiamond9893]

I think the reason why Bundy hated women was because he found out that his mother had him out of wedlock, and a home for unwed mothers. And that he was lied to as to who his father was. And he was unsure as to who was mother was until many years later according to reports, he was told that his mother was his older sister, and that his grandmother was the mother. But it turned out that was not the case. So perhaps all the confusion the deception might have sent him out of control

[@drakestar13]

last pic is not Bundy!

[@watsonspuzzle]

Apparently, Bundy doesn't recall all this excessive violence and was quite fond of the grandfather. He was quite young when his mom moved him, though. Something must have happened, though, for Louise to move across the country and change her last name to Nelson.

[@AustinKrasinski]

Maybe he was nice to ted but mean to others

[@shaylawatson1244]

Even though 4:02 is animated it's still scary to see the grandpa eyes

[@ikramaitaddi9300]

[@Clintsrandomvids]

Too bad the pills didn't work would have saved a lot of lives. I've been following Ted Bundy for about 25 years and this is the first time I've seen this. Thank you very much for the upload we love you in Peterborough Ontario Canada😘😘🇨🇦🇨🇦😘😘

[@jamielehman4934]

Dude...finding out about the abortion is what CAUSED all this. To know the woman who was supposed to love him tried to kill him. And instead of saying "maybe you shouldn't have been trying to kill an innocent child" all you can think is "it's too bad the abortion didn't work???" You're sick 😒

[@christinareed9002]

The abortion wasn't right, but the harsh truth is that had it worked all those girls that FUCKING BASTARD murdered would have lived, and the 5 ladies who survived would have been traumatized and scarred for life.

[@Tectonictaless]

​@@jamielehman4934 abortion is health care. Alot of babies are born with less neurons that is capable of feeling empathy and stuff. So if you want to terminate the pregnancy that's fine.

[@ShannonsChannel]

Sort of validates the issue of abortion, doesn't it? If he'd been aborted, those people wouldn't have gone through what they did.

[@lolidoll1194]

​@@christinareed9002 not necessarily. It could have been the very thing that made him crazy and enraged with women. It's not an excuse of course, but it could be a reason.

[@santacruz7455]

Thank you that was exactly my theory. Bundy was a product of incest and the son of a psychpath (his granddad). On top of this he might have had some injuries while his poor mother tried to end her pregnancy. Its more than logical that somebody with this kind of brain structure and behaviour will come out of this mixture of events.

[@TylerEubank]

Products of incest dont look good like he did

[@revanth3508]

That theory has been disproved

[@Cbcw76]

Santa, that's a lie, completely incorrect. You're a liar.

[@Albert24287]

I've never seen that pic of Ted at the end of the video.

[@TylerEubank]

How do we know she’s not making that up

[@Cbcw76]

I've always wondered if Hagmaier heard Ted make contradictory statements to those that Michaul and Aynesworth published from their interviews. In public, he shrugged off the question as if the answer would require more time than he was interested in at that moment.

[@berlindamoustafa1887]

Wow that phsychristris is scary and knows everything.i would never talk to one like her .

[@davisworth5114]

The "story" about Ted in the car when his "younger brother" (Ted didn't have a younger brother when he was living with his grandfather) asked his grandfather about "Ted's real Dad" is a made-up story because as a toddler, any mention of his "real father" would be incomprehensible to Ted. The further assertion that the grandfather became "out of his mind-filled with rage" is a total fiction, because there was no one who could have told her about an alleged incident that had to occur before 1950, when he moved to Tacoma. This Dr. Lewis is truly a fruitcake.

[@sauerkrautvonbraun9698]

Then his daughter wouldn't have been born.

[@emmaphilo4049]

We need a DNA test to know if the grandad is the dad. I think we need to know to understand the root of such evil. It'd explain everyone's behaviour in this family. If there was rape and incest, it'd explain a lot of things. It's not even the genetics involved in incest but more like the home environment and the extreme violence of the rape of a father upon his daughter.

[@steviemac2681]

There has already been a dna test and that theory was disproven.

[@kittycat3557]

Which program is this from? I’d like to see the whole thing.

[@hayleyfay4779]

These serial killers should be studied not executed. We need to know more

[@Cbcw76]

I think only Jeffrey Dahmer seemed to be in a mindset to offer help. Ted, no. He might have been 'broken down' further until enough stress but only the looming execution 'broke him down enough' to even call his mother to confess. He waited until months before to tell Carol Boone The Truth and then she fled immediately, never to be heard from again. That musta hurt Ted immensely, and he clammed up for a long time after that. Only in those final days did he again 'break down' and, even then, he was so tired and sounding confused that his info was sufficiently trustworthy (or remembered correctly). Without that fear of execution, he re-energized his shields and sat back and calculated - or thought he could. This was a delicate balance and, frankly, I don't think his psychology would match (ie, help) in too many cases. Dahmer was much more coherent and forthcoming. But both also said they couldn't do their worse without being drunk. As if that was some kind of helpful realization for them. Would it be to Society? "Gee - I didn't realize people getting drunk can do bad things." Is that the zenith of killer psychology? I HOPE NOT.

[@SuzanneHerrod-wy2ck]
