I found this part from Bundy's entry even more interesting:
Eleanor Bundy's younger sister Julia recalled a disturbing incident with her young nephew. After lying down in the Cowells' home for a nap, Julia woke to find herself surrounded by knives from the Cowell kitchen. Three-year-old Ted was standing by the bed, smiling at her.[91]
I think that Bundy tried to manipulate some people by telling them what they wanted to hear, and that he thought there was a market for his blaming his pathology on the influence of pornography and abuse.
I'm not saying that he wasn't abused; he probably was, but there are many victims of abuse who don't end up serial killers, it seems.
But in the example above, he was three years old. I think he was messed up even then.
