Ted Bundy's Final Interview and the Detective Magazines he Mentions in it...

I've been sort of curious about this detail for a while, and since it's the kind of excrement that gets on the text blog, I'm going to go ahead with documenting it. The final interview with world famous serial killer Ted Bundy was conducted by Evangelical figure James Dobson (Bundy found Christ in prison). The content of the interview largely concerns his addiction to pornography and the ways in which he was influenced by pornography. He made enigmatic reference to Detective Magazines and I was somewhat curious about what he was talking about. Apparently, it was this decrepit fecal matter that Bundy got off on- Images of women bound and/or gaged for purposes of rape, in some cases murder, that presumably went along with some sort of true crime or pulp crime writing type material. I suppose that answers my curiosity. I wouldn't say that it surprises me at all. It is unclear whether of not this was the causality of his sickness or merely symptomatic of it. My guess is that it is actually more so a mere symptom rather than a cause. I don't see the fascination with these detective magazine covers. Too me, these are just some dirty pictures. I'll move on to reading up on something else tomorrow, surely. Bundy seemed to feel it was an important factor, although at points in the Dobson interview he seemed to contradict himself by saying he did not blame pornography for his crimes. I've decided to include some of these images here along with the Dobson/Bundy interview.
