I call bullshit. Bud Bundy would've been like 2 years old at that point. No way was he driving car.

Graham - what? Ted Bundy was born in 1946 and did his murdering in the mid 70's...

Damnit. I was going to guess that it was Stuntman Mike.

humanclock beat me to it. This has been refuted several times. Though I'm sure the situation she describes was a dangerous one, it's unlikely it was Ted Bundy.

Leave it to Blogtownies to stick up for Ted Bundy.

My ma was picked up Bundy too while she was hitchhiking in the 70s. She described him as some weirdo in a Slugbug with a Washington license plate, and an arm cast. She believes nothing happened because she was with a friend. She recognized him later the same way as Debbie Harry.

@ Frank

Blondie were still trying to make it, when Bundy was on the prowl. At that point Debbie was probably still an unknown.

If everyone who claims to have been picked up by Ted Bundy had actually been, they never would have caught him. Because it would mean he had super powers and could bend space and time.

It was probably just another Ted Bundy wannabe. They can be so annoying.

I've seen at least one urban legend web site debunk debbie's story saying bundy wasn't in New York at the time she claims.

@sean: Did you even *read* the other comments? You should always read the comments. (Except Graham's.)
