George Putt was physically and emotionally abused as a child, this Memphis, Tennessee, predator was socially and psychologically handicapped from the get go. Psychology test revealed a “morbid preoccupation with blood and gore” as he continued with his career as a violent criminal. By 1967 he married a Mississippi woman from whom he demanded sexual gratification six to eight time a day. A charming and tactful fellow, in 1969 he tried to rape his mother-in-law in three different occasions. Shortly after the third attempted rape, authorities believed George committed his first killing. By March of 1969 George’s deadly habits were in full swing. He first brutally murdered a couple. A week and a half later he clobbered to death an 80-year-old widow. Four days later third woman was bound and brutally stabbed fourteen times. He attacked his fifth victim in her home on September 11. He was found guilty of all his crimes and given the death penalty. When the Supreme Court struck down the death penalty, George was handed a 497-year sentence. Always the good sport, George chuckled when the judge read him the sentence.

The naked corpse of American aspiring actress and murder victim Elizabeth Short (1924 - 1947), known as the ‘Black Dahlia,’ lies on a grassy field covered by a blanket after the body was discovered in a vacant lot in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, January 15, 1947. Short’s murdered body was severely mutilated and severed at the waist. The murder still remains unsolved.

Edmund Kemper is one serial killer that has documented information about his childhood. Perhaps one incident says it all: He was seven or eight at the time, and did something that deserved punishment. But the punishment meted out was, quite simply, horrific. He owned a pet chicken, a creature he loved as much as another boy might love a dog. Because of his bad behavior his parents ordered him to kill the chicken, which he did, and then his mother cooked it and the Kempers ate his pet for dinner. And all during the killing and the eating, tears ran down young Edmund’s face.

Ted Bundy, in prison garb in Tallahassee, listened impatiently, then dissolved into sardonic laughter as Sheriff Ken Katsaris read him the 1979 indictments in the Bowman-Levy murders. “If I didn’t know what I do know about him, I’d say he was extremely likable. He has a lot of charisma,” says Katsaris.

James C Dobson: Do you deserve the punishment the state has inflicted upon you?

Ted Bundy: That’s a very good question. I don’t want to die; I won’t kid you. I deserve, certainly, the most extreme punishment society has. And I think society deserves to be protected from me and from others like me. That’s for sure. What I hope will come of our discussion is that I think society deserves to be protected from itself. As we have been talking, there are forces at loose in this country, especially this kind of violent pornography, where, on one hand, well-meaning people will condemn the behavior of a Ted Bundy while they’re walking past a magazine rack full of the very kinds of things that send young kids down the road to being Ted Bundys. That’s the irony.

I’m talking about going beyond retribution, which is what people want with me. There is no way in the world that killing me is going to restore those beautiful children to their parents and correct and soothe the pain. But there are lots of other kids playing in streets around the country today who are going to be dead tomorrow, and the next day, because other young people are reading and seeing the kinds of things that are available in the media today.

James C Dobson: There is tremendous cynicism about you on the outside, I suppose, for good reason. I’m not sure there’s anything you could say that people would believe, yet you told me (and I have heard this through our mutual friend, John Tanner) that you have accepted the forgiveness of Jesus Christ and are a follower and believer in Him. Do you draw strength from that as you approach these final hours?

Ted Bundy: I do. I can’t say that being in the Valley of the Shadow of Death is something I’ve become all that accustomed to, and that I’m strong and nothing’s bothering me. It’s no fun. It gets kind of lonely, yet I have to remind myself that every one of us will go through this someday in one way or another.

James C Dobson: It’s appointed unto man.

Ted Bundy: Countless millions who have walked this earth before us have gone through this, so this is just an experience we all share.

Ted Bundy was executed at 7:15 am the day after this conversation was recorded.
