Ted Bundy's Secret Tapes: Serial Killer Claimed He Was Sexually Assaulted By Mob Of Inmates

Notorious serial killer Ted Bundy, who once bragged he was “the most cold-hearted son of a b***h you’ll ever meet,” was in reality a moaning, vain coward who cried for months when he was first jailed.
The pretty-boy predator — electrocuted on Death Row 30 years ago, on Jan. 24, 1989, after murdering up to 100 women in a hellish 1970s killing spree – also hated being called “crazy” and thought he was completely normal.
After reviewing disturbing transcripts of more than 100 hours of never-before-heard tapes of his final confessions, Breaking Celebrity News can reveal the charming butcher’s whiny complaints, which were made as he languished on Florida State Prison’s Death Row.
His final confessions were taped during interviews he held with investigative reporters Stephen G. Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth in the years leading up to his execution.
Their tapes will be incorporated into a new Netflix series on Bundy, Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, dropping on the anniversary of the murderer’s death.
Opening up about his belief that his mom’s emotional detachment, his family’s poverty and his unpopularity at school drove him to kill, maim and rape, Bundy bleated: “My mother and I didn’t talk a lot about real personal matters... certainly never about sex or anything like that… she doesn’t open up and explain.”
“I always felt I was too small. This feeling began to emerge in junior high school — that I didn’t have the weight or physique for sports,” he continued. “And it was very costly to buy the uniforms. My family didn’t always have the money, so I was all on my own. It was a source of some agony.”
Bundy was well aware he had developed intellectually but not socially.
“In high school, I would be characterized as introverted,” he said. “My way to compensate for that was to say, ‘Well, I don’t go in for those things. I don’t like the drinking. I don’t care for this carrying on. I’m a serious student and I’m above all this.’”
“A lot of my pretensions about being a scholarly type was really a defense mechanism, because I couldn’t achieve those kinds of social goals I wanted,” he added.
Alienated Bundy turned to [expletive] and peeping through girl’s windows as a teen before the rejection he felt from society and women drove him to slaughter dozens of lookalike brunettes across at least seven states.
Authorities believe the serial killer may have snuffed out the lives of up to 100 women, but Bundy hinted in his final taped confessions his victims may have numbered in the thousands.
