Dearest Ted,
I just heard the worst possible news a few hours ago (about the warrant being signed). I was totally shocked because I hadn’t expected this until next week- the governors office gave me the wrong date.
I am extremely distraught right now.
I don’t know how I am going to live with this.
I’m far too upset to say too much at the moment, but I wanted to make sure you get this in time.
Ted, I want you to remember that I’ll be there right beside you when you go to meet your destiny.
I love you and just want you to know how much you men to me and have changed my life,
Dawn.

January 18, 1989
Dearest Ted,
I’m sending this to you just in case they don’t get you the telegram I sent.
I don’t know exactly what to say except that I am in a total state of shock and beyond consolation. I really feel as if I am going to die on Tuesday, too.
I guess I kind of expected this, but I’m still not prepared. There’s so much I wanted to sy to you if this time ever came.
Now, it is here and there isn’t enough time to say or do much.
I feel guilty in a way because I never even got to meet you, and I can’t imagine what your wife and family must be going through right now.
Ted, I would very much like to talk to you. I know this is a very hectic time right now but PLEASE can you call me? – COLLECT at 416.249.47** this Friday after 3 PM or Saturday after 10 AM.
I really need to speak to you. Please!
Dawn

A GIANT thank you to the blog ‘Ted Bundy: I was Trying to Think Like an Elk’ for their translation of these letters.

Ted, Carole, and Rosa.

~ Another Bundy Blog. ~ Leave a comment

I came across quite a few pictures of Ted and his family these past few days and I wanted to share them here. Carole Ann Boone passed away in a retirement home in Seattle in 2018, and where I do know some details about Rose/Rosa’s adult life I will not disclose anything out of respect for her privacy. I was hesitant about including her face in some of these but I found them all quite easily on the public domain.
