Speaking in the third person, as he often did when being questioned about his crimes, Ted Bundy described his first murder attempt:
“He was horrified by the recognition that he’d done this, the realisation that he had the capacity to do such a thing… The sobering effect of that was to… for some time close up the cracks again. For the first time, he sat back and swore to himself that he wouldn’t do something like that again… or even, anything that would lead up to it.”
