1 00:00:07,177 --> 00:00:09,955 NARRATOR: On the 11th of August 1980, 2 00:00:10,030 --> 00:00:12,955 37-year-old nurse Carol Bundy called 3 00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:18,635 the LAPD, claiming her boyfriend was the infamous Sunset Strip 4 00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:19,835 Killer. 5 00:00:19,844 --> 00:00:21,435 CAROL BUNDY (ON PHONE): Hello. 6 00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:23,202 Some time back, you were having a series of murders involving 7 00:00:23,277 --> 00:00:24,355 prostitutes in Hollywood. 8 00:00:24,430 --> 00:00:25,435 POLICE OFFICER (ON PHONE): Uh-huh. 9 00:00:25,444 --> 00:00:26,635 CAROL BUNDY (ON PHONE): OK. 10 00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:28,315 Would you like to have your man today? 11 00:00:28,390 --> 00:00:31,595 I've only been involved with perhaps eight or nine of them. 12 00:00:31,670 --> 00:00:33,875 JOHN STALBERG: She even say co-conspirators 13 00:00:33,884 --> 00:00:35,435 understating it. 14 00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:38,595 She actually got the victim in the car and handed him the gun. 15 00:00:38,670 --> 00:00:41,275 NARRATOR: Her boyfriend was 32-year-old Doug 16 00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:45,835 Clark, a boiler engineer from Pennsylvania. 17 00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:49,875 Clark's dark fantasies had culminated in a sexually 18 00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:52,435 motivated killing spree, targeting 19 00:00:52,510 --> 00:00:57,275 sex workers on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. 20 00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:59,322 FRANK GARCIA: The things that they did 21 00:00:59,397 --> 00:01:01,555 were unheard of quite frankly. 22 00:01:01,630 --> 00:01:04,715 And Doug and Carol gave a whole new meaning 23 00:01:04,790 --> 00:01:07,515 to the term sexual deviant. 24 00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:10,435 NARRATOR: Between May and July 1980, 25 00:01:10,510 --> 00:01:13,595 Doug Clark brutally murdered six women, 26 00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:18,195 mutilating one of his victims and decapitating another. 27 00:01:18,270 --> 00:01:22,635 It wouldn't be long before Bundy spurred on by Clark 28 00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:24,155 committed murder herself. 29 00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:25,602 POLICE OFFICER (ON PHONE): Doesn't that 30 00:01:25,677 --> 00:01:27,395 make you feel bad, though, that you killed somebody? 31 00:01:27,470 --> 00:01:28,835 CAROL BUNDY (ON PHONE): Would you really 32 00:01:28,910 --> 00:01:29,995 like to know the honest truth? 33 00:01:30,070 --> 00:01:30,955 POLICE OFFICER (ON PHONE): For sure. 34 00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:32,235 CAROL BUNDY (ON PHONE): OK. 35 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:33,355 The honest truth is, it's fun to kill people. 36 00:01:33,430 --> 00:01:34,722 And if I was allowed to run loose, 37 00:01:34,797 --> 00:01:36,395 I'd probably do it again. 38 00:01:36,470 --> 00:01:39,442 NARRATOR: The depraved actions of this deadly duo 39 00:01:39,517 --> 00:01:43,235 sent a wave of terror through the city of Los Angeles 40 00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:46,235 during the summer of 1980, making 41 00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:50,042 Doug Clark and Carol Bundy two of the world's 42 00:01:50,117 --> 00:01:51,755 most evil killers. 43 00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:55,322 [music playing] 44 00:02:12,230 --> 00:02:17,435 On the 13th of November 1980, 32-year-old Doug Clark 45 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:21,802 went on trial at the superior court of Los Angeles charged 46 00:02:21,877 --> 00:02:24,075 with first degree murder. 47 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:27,235 His accomplice and jilted lover Carol Bundy 48 00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:31,235 was also accused of murder. 49 00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:34,555 Veteran homicide Detective Frank Garcia 50 00:02:34,564 --> 00:02:39,035 was assigned to the task force dealing with the investigation. 51 00:02:39,044 --> 00:02:43,075 He interviewed Carol Bundy at length. 52 00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:45,762 FRANK GARCIA: She was the key to Clark. 53 00:02:45,837 --> 00:02:47,435 We knew it. 54 00:02:47,510 --> 00:02:48,915 She knew it. 55 00:02:48,924 --> 00:02:50,475 Clark knew it. 56 00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:53,435 And he would do his damnedest to get her 57 00:02:53,444 --> 00:02:56,955 to turn and back up his story. 58 00:02:56,964 --> 00:02:59,275 NARRATOR: Psychologist John Stalberg 59 00:02:59,350 --> 00:03:04,235 assessed 38-year-old Bundy while she was awaiting trial. 60 00:03:04,310 --> 00:03:05,442 JOHN STALBERG: My impression was she 61 00:03:05,517 --> 00:03:09,835 was a frumpy, 40-ish bespectacled female. 62 00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:13,275 And she didn't look like she was capable of murder. 63 00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:14,902 NARRATOR: But by the time the case 64 00:03:14,977 --> 00:03:18,835 got to court, it was clear to prosecutor Ronald Coen 65 00:03:18,910 --> 00:03:21,682 just how dangerous these killers were. 66 00:03:21,757 --> 00:03:25,315 RONALD COEN: It was one of the most gruesome cases in terms 67 00:03:25,390 --> 00:03:27,395 of the crimes that were committed, 68 00:03:27,470 --> 00:03:30,235 in terms of the personalities of the killers. 69 00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:33,035 I've had a lot of heavy cases. 70 00:03:33,044 --> 00:03:35,162 This ranks right up there with the top. 71 00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:43,235 NARRATOR: The killers' story begins on August 26, 1942 72 00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:47,755 Carol Bundy spent much of her early years in California. 73 00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:49,435 Her mother was a tap dancer. 74 00:03:49,510 --> 00:03:53,275 And her father worked in cinemas across the state. 75 00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:54,868 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: Young Carol started 76 00:03:54,644 --> 00:03:58,515 out as a fairly cute kid then she began to develop 77 00:03:58,590 --> 00:04:00,642 a severe astigmatism. 78 00:04:00,717 --> 00:04:04,515 So she ended up with very thick glasses. 79 00:04:04,590 --> 00:04:07,835 And she had a kind of a lumpy, dumpy body. 80 00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:10,195 So as she's growing up, she doesn't 81 00:04:10,270 --> 00:04:12,635 look so attractive anymore. 82 00:04:12,644 --> 00:04:17,035 In 1957, when Carol was 14 her mother 83 00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:19,955 suffered a fatal heart attack. 84 00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,355 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: After the death of her mother, 85 00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:25,715 Bundy began to be sexually abused by her father. 86 00:04:25,790 --> 00:04:30,035 So she has this very ingrained idea about what 87 00:04:30,110 --> 00:04:31,515 she should be as a woman. 88 00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:34,362 She should be subservient to a man. 89 00:04:36,644 --> 00:04:40,115 NARRATOR: At the age of 17, Bundy married a man 90 00:04:40,124 --> 00:04:42,675 almost 40 years her senior. 91 00:04:42,684 --> 00:04:44,275 The marriage didn't last. 92 00:04:44,350 --> 00:04:50,755 And during the 1960s, a further two times and had two sons. 93 00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:54,275 But all of these relationships proved unstable 94 00:04:54,350 --> 00:04:56,315 and never lasted long. 95 00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:58,435 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: Some of these marriages were abusive. 96 00:04:58,510 --> 00:05:00,955 She was abused by the people that should 97 00:05:01,030 --> 00:05:02,755 have been caring for her. 98 00:05:02,764 --> 00:05:04,715 So she's constantly learning. 99 00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:08,635 She's constantly having that idea reinforced that women 100 00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:10,915 are there to serve men. 101 00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:14,035 NARRATOR: By 1979, she was on her own 102 00:05:14,110 --> 00:05:16,955 again and a regular at the little Nashville 103 00:05:17,030 --> 00:05:20,162 bar in North Hollywood. 104 00:05:20,237 --> 00:05:25,595 It was here at Christmas, she met 31-year-old Doug Clark. 105 00:05:25,604 --> 00:05:27,235 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: It was Christmas season. 106 00:05:27,310 --> 00:05:29,195 And she didn't have anybody. 107 00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:32,515 And she was at the little Nashville drinking. 108 00:05:32,590 --> 00:05:38,115 And that is when Doug Clark entered the bar, saw her. 109 00:05:38,190 --> 00:05:42,235 And she was an easy mark for a guy like him. 110 00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:44,435 NARRATOR: Douglas Daniel Clark was 111 00:05:44,510 --> 00:05:47,955 born in Pennsylvania in 1948. 112 00:05:48,030 --> 00:05:51,195 He had a transient childhood. 113 00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:53,275 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: He had a privileged upbringing. 114 00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:55,435 His father was an officer in the Navy, 115 00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:58,635 and then became an engineer, traveled around the world. 116 00:05:58,710 --> 00:06:04,835 As a result, Clark was sent to prestigious schools. 117 00:06:04,910 --> 00:06:06,715 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: I think the military connection is 118 00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:09,762 an interesting one because he's learned from an early age 119 00:06:09,837 --> 00:06:13,075 that aggression and violence is something that is 120 00:06:13,150 --> 00:06:16,315 valuable for his masculinity. 121 00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:18,475 GEOFFREY WANSELL: To be honest, he's seen by his fellow people 122 00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:21,435 as arrogant, not prepared to work hard. 123 00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:26,035 And he also begins to have a bit of a reputation 124 00:06:26,110 --> 00:06:28,395 as a sort of sex addict. 125 00:06:28,470 --> 00:06:30,035 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: So he would invite girls back 126 00:06:30,110 --> 00:06:32,802 to his dorm room and he would audio record 127 00:06:32,877 --> 00:06:34,875 himself having sex with them. 128 00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:37,075 He wants to humiliate these girls. 129 00:06:37,150 --> 00:06:40,155 So he shared these recordings with his friends. 130 00:06:40,164 --> 00:06:42,955 So he really got off on demeaning women. 131 00:06:43,030 --> 00:06:46,122 He really thought he had a right to do this. 132 00:06:46,197 --> 00:06:49,315 NARRATOR: By the age of 20, Clark had left school 133 00:06:49,390 --> 00:06:51,235 and joined the Air Force. 134 00:06:51,310 --> 00:06:54,715 But after only two short years in the military, 135 00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:58,315 he was discharged and moved to Los Angeles. 136 00:06:58,390 --> 00:07:03,235 Here, he settled down to a seemingly normal life. 137 00:07:03,310 --> 00:07:06,275 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: There's a concept compartmentalizing 138 00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:09,882 being able to pass as normal when in fact you harbor 139 00:07:09,957 --> 00:07:12,395 a very deviant, dark fantasies. 140 00:07:12,404 --> 00:07:16,155 He learned pretty early to hide that stuff 141 00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:20,002 until he found somebody who wouldn't judge him. 142 00:07:20,077 --> 00:07:23,435 NARRATOR: By 1979, Clark was on the lookout 143 00:07:23,444 --> 00:07:28,235 for a partner who would indulge his sexual fantasies. 144 00:07:28,310 --> 00:07:31,635 On the 20th of December, he met 37-year-old 145 00:07:31,644 --> 00:07:36,955 licensed vocational nurse and mother of two, Carol Bundy. 146 00:07:36,964 --> 00:07:40,362 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: Bundy took Clark home pretty quickly. 147 00:07:40,437 --> 00:07:45,122 He, apparently, spent a lot of time pleasing her sexually. 148 00:07:45,197 --> 00:07:47,835 He pretended to like her boys. 149 00:07:47,910 --> 00:07:51,755 He, himself, acted like a little boy and won her heart. 150 00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:54,035 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: Literally after their first date, 151 00:07:54,110 --> 00:07:57,595 he's moving some of his stuff into her apartments. 152 00:07:57,670 --> 00:08:00,435 He really is making himself at home there. 153 00:08:00,510 --> 00:08:03,115 But she won't be looking at this thinking whoa, 154 00:08:03,190 --> 00:08:04,515 this is going too quickly. 155 00:08:04,590 --> 00:08:07,915 She'll be looking at this thinking, this is great. 156 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:10,195 NARRATOR: The relationship was intense. 157 00:08:10,270 --> 00:08:12,115 But it wasn't long before Clark's 158 00:08:12,190 --> 00:08:14,915 behavior began to change. 159 00:08:14,990 --> 00:08:17,442 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: He began to have issues with the kids 160 00:08:17,517 --> 00:08:18,548 being there. 161 00:08:18,624 --> 00:08:21,995 And at this point, Bundy was all in. 162 00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:23,202 She had to keep him. 163 00:08:23,277 --> 00:08:26,355 So she gave up her sons. 164 00:08:26,430 --> 00:08:28,115 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: She really wants to please him. 165 00:08:28,190 --> 00:08:31,315 She wants to be the standout woman for him. 166 00:08:31,390 --> 00:08:34,715 I think there's also a sense in which Clark is exciting. 167 00:08:34,724 --> 00:08:37,475 He's the kind of character she's never met before. 168 00:08:37,550 --> 00:08:41,275 He's the extreme end of the spectrum. 169 00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:43,275 NARRATOR: During the investigation, 170 00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:46,515 veteran homicide Detective Frank Garcia 171 00:08:46,590 --> 00:08:49,635 built a disturbing picture of the pair's 172 00:08:49,644 --> 00:08:51,755 chaotic relationship. 173 00:08:51,830 --> 00:08:54,635 FRANK GARCIA: It didn't take long before he told her 174 00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:57,035 this is really getting boring. 175 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:59,675 So they started bringing in third parties. 176 00:08:59,750 --> 00:09:03,195 She would get prostitutes for him and have a threesome. 177 00:09:03,270 --> 00:09:06,235 But most of the time, she would get cut out of the action. 178 00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:09,115 NARRATOR: It wasn't long before Clark's desires 179 00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:11,595 took a more sinister turn. 180 00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:13,275 FRANK GARCIA: They met an 11-year-old girl 181 00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:16,355 that lived across the breezeway of the apartment buildings. 182 00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:19,635 And Carol lured that 11-year-old over to the apartment. 183 00:09:19,644 --> 00:09:23,475 And it wasn't long before they were taking nude pictures, 184 00:09:23,550 --> 00:09:25,035 showers together. 185 00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:27,435 Doug was touching her and kissing her. 186 00:09:27,510 --> 00:09:30,195 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: It begins with presents, and with gifts, 187 00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:33,435 and making her feel included and wanted. 188 00:09:33,510 --> 00:09:35,995 Gradually, she begins to get involved 189 00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:38,315 with activities that probably did make her 190 00:09:38,390 --> 00:09:39,982 feel uncomfortable at first. 191 00:09:40,057 --> 00:09:43,595 But because she felt that sense of obligation to this couple, 192 00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:45,195 she would have gone along with it. 193 00:09:45,270 --> 00:09:48,155 She was a child who was exploited by them. 194 00:09:48,164 --> 00:09:51,115 He later dropped her and tried to rape her. 195 00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:54,195 So by the time that it reaches that level of violence, 196 00:09:54,270 --> 00:09:56,515 that level of abuse, this individual 197 00:09:56,590 --> 00:10:00,795 has been completely brainwashed by this couple, completely 198 00:10:00,870 --> 00:10:04,075 unable to reach out for help. 199 00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:06,115 NARRATOR: Over the next six months, 200 00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:09,235 the depraved actions of Clark would continue 201 00:10:09,310 --> 00:10:11,915 to spiral out of control. 202 00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:14,875 GEOFFREY WANSELL: After Clark moves in with Carol Bundy, 203 00:10:14,950 --> 00:10:16,995 he increasingly tries to sexualize her. 204 00:10:17,070 --> 00:10:18,715 He wants to introduce her to torture. 205 00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:21,275 He wants to introduce her to all manner of other things. 206 00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:25,595 But there's another extra potent thing in the mix, 207 00:10:25,604 --> 00:10:28,675 and that is Clark says he wants to have 208 00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:31,275 sex with a dead body or bodies. 209 00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:34,395 Whether that offends Bundy, I'm not sure. 210 00:10:34,404 --> 00:10:38,635 But there's no doubt that necrophilia is now on his menu. 211 00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:40,242 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: What Bundy doesn't know 212 00:10:40,317 --> 00:10:44,795 Clark is also trolling around looking for women 213 00:10:44,804 --> 00:10:47,235 that he wants to victimize. 214 00:10:47,310 --> 00:10:50,275 NARRATOR: On the 27th of April 1980 215 00:10:50,284 --> 00:10:53,235 whilst driving the streets of Los Angeles, 216 00:10:53,244 --> 00:10:57,515 32-year-old Clark picked up a sex worker. 217 00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:00,442 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: When she was giving him oral sex, 218 00:11:00,517 --> 00:11:05,035 he began to choke her with the intent of killing her. 219 00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:06,762 It was much more difficult for him. 220 00:11:06,837 --> 00:11:08,555 And I think he anticipated. 221 00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:10,475 So he pulled out a knife and started 222 00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:15,755 to stab her and then slash her over and over and over. 223 00:11:15,830 --> 00:11:17,915 FRANK GARCIA: He was going to try to kill her. 224 00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:20,035 And she pushed away, fought him [inaudible].. 225 00:11:20,110 --> 00:11:21,675 She was fighting for her life. 226 00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:23,035 She got out of the car somehow. 227 00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:25,115 And she got away. 228 00:11:25,124 --> 00:11:28,275 NARRATOR: Obsessed with his necrophiliac fantasies 229 00:11:28,284 --> 00:11:31,955 and determined that his next victim would not escape, 230 00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:35,995 Clark convinced Bundy to purchase two guns. 231 00:11:36,004 --> 00:11:37,762 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: Bundy went into a shop 232 00:11:37,837 --> 00:11:43,642 and got a set of 25 caliber Raven automatic handguns. 233 00:11:43,717 --> 00:11:49,115 Now, Clark had a way to ensure whatever woman he picked up, 234 00:11:49,124 --> 00:11:51,635 if he wanted to kill her, he could. 235 00:11:51,710 --> 00:11:55,035 NARRATOR: Trying to prove that she was a worthy partner, 236 00:11:55,044 --> 00:11:58,915 besotted Bundy referred to the guns as the toys 237 00:11:58,990 --> 00:12:05,595 and started convincing Clark to take her into his confidence. 238 00:12:05,604 --> 00:12:07,515 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: So they have conversations 239 00:12:07,524 --> 00:12:10,555 about sexual fantasies and all of that kind of thing. 240 00:12:10,630 --> 00:12:13,595 And the conversation turns to murder. 241 00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:15,715 Now you think that this would send her running 242 00:12:15,790 --> 00:12:17,075 in the other direction. 243 00:12:17,150 --> 00:12:20,155 But this is somebody who wants to please her man. 244 00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:21,235 She wants to be liked. 245 00:12:21,310 --> 00:12:22,268 She wants to be loved. 246 00:12:22,244 --> 00:12:24,595 She wants to be included. 247 00:12:24,670 --> 00:12:28,235 NARRATOR: However, controlling Clark operated alone. 248 00:12:28,244 --> 00:12:31,355 And within four weeks of purchasing the guns, 249 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:34,435 he was on the hunt for his next victim. 250 00:12:34,444 --> 00:12:38,115 On the 12th of June, the bodies of two young girls 251 00:12:38,190 --> 00:12:40,835 were discovered dumped by the freeway. 252 00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:45,282 Both victims had been partially stripped and shot in the head. 253 00:12:45,357 --> 00:12:48,235 They were identified as stepsisters, 254 00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:53,555 15-year-old Gina Marano and 16-year-old Cynthia Chandler. 255 00:12:53,564 --> 00:12:56,555 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: They'd run away from home essentially. 256 00:12:56,630 --> 00:13:00,162 They've been kind of pushing the boundaries as teenagers. 257 00:13:00,237 --> 00:13:02,195 Their parents were having a bit of a nightmare 258 00:13:02,270 --> 00:13:04,955 keeping them under control. 259 00:13:04,964 --> 00:13:07,475 NARRATOR: 32-year-old Doug Clark had 260 00:13:07,550 --> 00:13:11,115 convinced the sisters to get into his car whilst 261 00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:13,155 out trolling alone. 262 00:13:13,230 --> 00:13:14,835 FRANK GARCIA: He picked them up and he took them 263 00:13:14,910 --> 00:13:16,755 to some parking lot someplace. 264 00:13:16,830 --> 00:13:22,242 And he talked the blonde into performing oral sex on him. 265 00:13:22,317 --> 00:13:25,235 He told the brunette, Gina, to look away. 266 00:13:25,244 --> 00:13:27,875 And it was at that point that he shot 267 00:13:27,950 --> 00:13:30,115 Gina first because she was looking away 268 00:13:30,190 --> 00:13:32,235 and then he shot Cynthia. 269 00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:35,195 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: He sees all women as sex workers. 270 00:13:35,204 --> 00:13:37,155 These were just two teenage girls. 271 00:13:37,164 --> 00:13:40,435 And both of them ended up dying. 272 00:13:40,510 --> 00:13:42,395 GEOFFREY WANSELL: He takes their bodies to a garage 273 00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:46,435 and rapes them after their death. 274 00:13:46,510 --> 00:13:48,235 NARRATOR: Doug Clark had succeeded 275 00:13:48,310 --> 00:13:51,042 in fulfilling his deprave fantasy 276 00:13:51,117 --> 00:13:53,955 before taking the girls bodies and dumping 277 00:13:54,030 --> 00:13:55,682 them on the freeway. 278 00:13:55,757 --> 00:13:59,515 Carol Bundy discovered what Clark had done. 279 00:13:59,590 --> 00:14:01,882 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: This is the point at which Bundy basically 280 00:14:01,957 --> 00:14:07,515 says, I want to be part of this with you, not just a fantasy 281 00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:08,815 life. 282 00:14:08,890 --> 00:14:12,155 If you're doing this, I want the full intimacy. 283 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:17,395 I want us to be one mind, one soul, one body. 284 00:14:17,470 --> 00:14:18,868 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: Bundy is very much 285 00:14:18,944 --> 00:14:21,395 feeding off the kind of things that he's telling her. 286 00:14:21,470 --> 00:14:23,195 She really wants to please him. 287 00:14:23,204 --> 00:14:28,235 So she completely buys into this murder narrative. 288 00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:30,475 NARRATOR: Detectives quickly identified 289 00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:33,155 the two girls who'd been reported missing 290 00:14:33,230 --> 00:14:35,235 by their worried parents. 291 00:14:35,310 --> 00:14:38,995 However, finding their killer was going to prove difficult 292 00:14:39,070 --> 00:14:42,635 in the teeming city of angels. 293 00:14:42,710 --> 00:14:46,435 FRANK GARCIA: In 1980, in June, when the Clark-Bundy case went 294 00:14:46,510 --> 00:14:49,235 down, we were at a pace to either tie 295 00:14:49,310 --> 00:14:53,035 or break a homicide record in the city of Los Angeles. 296 00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:56,475 That year, we had over 1,000 homicides. 297 00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:59,835 RONALD COEN: Law enforcement had the best of the best. 298 00:14:59,910 --> 00:15:01,602 But they were stretched to the limits. 299 00:15:01,677 --> 00:15:03,075 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: Serial killing teams, 300 00:15:03,150 --> 00:15:04,515 they have to be chameleons. 301 00:15:04,590 --> 00:15:06,595 They have to blend into the background. 302 00:15:06,670 --> 00:15:09,275 So nobody looking from the outside in 303 00:15:09,284 --> 00:15:12,235 would think that these two were capable of this. 304 00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:15,435 NARRATOR: Desperate to prove that she was a worthy partner, 305 00:15:15,510 --> 00:15:21,515 38-year-old Bundy put together a kill kit for the couple to use. 306 00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:26,075 Kill kit consisted of a bag, certain items in it, 307 00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:28,842 the gun, she and Clark had matching guns, 308 00:15:28,917 --> 00:15:31,515 and a boning knife. 309 00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:35,595 NARRATOR: She told 32-year-old Clark to use the knife 310 00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:37,835 to mutilate the bodies. 311 00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:40,122 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: As their relationship progresses, 312 00:15:40,197 --> 00:15:43,235 she wants to be the standout woman for him. 313 00:15:43,310 --> 00:15:46,435 She wants to go further than other women have gone with him. 314 00:15:46,510 --> 00:15:48,195 And she's almost trying to kind of 315 00:15:48,270 --> 00:15:51,042 shock him and say, look at me, aren't I 316 00:15:51,117 --> 00:15:54,035 dangerous and exciting? 317 00:15:54,110 --> 00:15:57,035 NARRATOR: On the 20th of June 1980, 318 00:15:57,110 --> 00:15:59,955 Clark took Bundy out with him on what was 319 00:16:00,030 --> 00:16:02,755 supposed to be her first kill. 320 00:16:02,830 --> 00:16:06,955 RONALD COEN: The MO was to go hunting for prostitutes, people 321 00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:09,115 that did not have family. 322 00:16:09,190 --> 00:16:12,195 Get a prostitute to enter the car on the guise of sex, 323 00:16:12,270 --> 00:16:16,995 kill, and utilize the bodies. 324 00:16:17,070 --> 00:16:18,115 JOHN STALBERG: If a serial killer 325 00:16:18,190 --> 00:16:21,035 wants a woman to get in his car, who 326 00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:23,002 gets in the car in an LA area? 327 00:16:23,077 --> 00:16:26,035 It's prostitutes. 328 00:16:26,110 --> 00:16:27,235 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: They pick up a sex 329 00:16:27,310 --> 00:16:29,435 worker on Highland Avenue. 330 00:16:29,444 --> 00:16:33,035 And the plan is that Bundy will shoot this woman. 331 00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:35,202 But if she doesn't want to go through with it, 332 00:16:35,277 --> 00:16:38,402 there will be some kind of code phrase that she uses. 333 00:16:38,477 --> 00:16:42,915 But I think Bundy got so excited at this situation 334 00:16:42,990 --> 00:16:45,235 that it didn't go to plan whatsoever. 335 00:16:45,310 --> 00:16:47,795 Bundy didn't shoot this woman. 336 00:16:47,870 --> 00:16:49,235 Clark did. 337 00:16:49,310 --> 00:16:51,522 And there was a real kind of fumbled handover 338 00:16:51,597 --> 00:16:55,955 of the gun that was used to kill this woman. 339 00:16:55,964 --> 00:16:58,435 NARRATOR: The victim, known only as Cathy, 340 00:16:58,510 --> 00:17:01,355 was stripped of clothes and belongings, anything 341 00:17:01,430 --> 00:17:06,235 which could help identify her, and dumped beside a dirt truck. 342 00:17:06,310 --> 00:17:09,435 Having failed to prove she was a worthy accomplice, 343 00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:14,035 Bundy was once again cut out of the action. 344 00:17:14,110 --> 00:17:18,755 Shortly after 3:00 AM on the 23rd of June 1980, 345 00:17:18,764 --> 00:17:22,555 almost two weeks after the bodies of stepsister Gina 346 00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:25,475 and Cynthia were discovered, detectives 347 00:17:25,550 --> 00:17:29,355 were called to another gruesome crime scene. 348 00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:33,315 FRANK GARCIA: The decapitated nude body of Exxie Wilson 349 00:17:33,390 --> 00:17:35,635 showed up in the parking lot. 350 00:17:35,710 --> 00:17:39,715 NARRATOR: Exxie Wilson was a sex worker working the Ventura 351 00:17:39,790 --> 00:17:42,195 Boulevard in Los Angeles. 352 00:17:42,270 --> 00:17:46,435 Whilst out cruising alone, Clark picked her up. 353 00:17:46,510 --> 00:17:49,355 GEOFFREY WANSELL: Clark takes Exxie Wilson, 354 00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:51,235 gives her a lift in his car. 355 00:17:51,244 --> 00:17:53,475 He shoots her in the head. 356 00:17:53,550 --> 00:17:58,795 He takes her to a parking lot and cuts off her head, which he 357 00:17:58,870 --> 00:18:02,155 puts in the trunk of the car. 358 00:18:02,230 --> 00:18:06,835 And he dumps her headless torso in the parking lot. 359 00:18:06,910 --> 00:18:11,315 NARRATOR: Doug Clark took the severed head home with him. 360 00:18:11,324 --> 00:18:13,435 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: So Clark tells Bundy 361 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:17,515 that he has this head and it's in the freezer. 362 00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:19,955 Now, he won't show it to Bundy immediately 363 00:18:20,030 --> 00:18:21,395 because I think he gets the Bundy is 364 00:18:21,470 --> 00:18:22,902 quite excited about this. 365 00:18:22,977 --> 00:18:25,195 She's like a little child, essentially. 366 00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:28,635 He delays the length of time before she sees him. 367 00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:30,235 JOHN STALBERG: He spent a lot of time 368 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:34,075 putting on makeup, lipstick, and making up the head. 369 00:18:34,084 --> 00:18:36,635 And I think Exxie might have been more pretty 370 00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:38,315 than some of the other ones. 371 00:18:38,390 --> 00:18:39,635 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: He then takes the head 372 00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:42,835 into the shower with him and allegedly sexually 373 00:18:42,910 --> 00:18:45,395 pleasure himself with the head. 374 00:18:45,470 --> 00:18:48,275 NARRATOR: The same morning that Exxie's headless body 375 00:18:48,350 --> 00:18:50,995 was discovered, investigators receive 376 00:18:51,004 --> 00:18:54,035 reports of yet another victim. 377 00:18:54,044 --> 00:18:56,635 FRANK GARCIA: That same morning, Karen Jones 378 00:18:56,710 --> 00:19:01,035 was discovered on a street near the Burbank Studios with a head 379 00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:03,035 shot. 380 00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:07,842 Exxie and Karen Jones were both prostitutes from Arkansas. 381 00:19:07,917 --> 00:19:09,435 They had come to Los Angeles together 382 00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:12,595 to work the Sunset Strip area. 383 00:19:12,670 --> 00:19:14,595 NARRATOR: Clark was worried that Karen, 384 00:19:14,670 --> 00:19:19,675 who'd seen him with Exxie, would identify him to the police. 385 00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:22,555 GEOFFREY WANSELL: He goes back and entices Karen 386 00:19:22,630 --> 00:19:27,995 into the car with a simple intention of killing her too, 387 00:19:28,004 --> 00:19:30,835 which she does, even though he's got Exxie's 388 00:19:30,910 --> 00:19:33,435 head in the boot of the car. 389 00:19:33,444 --> 00:19:37,195 These are actions of the most extreme depravity. 390 00:19:37,270 --> 00:19:41,115 They defy any kind of moral ground. 391 00:19:41,124 --> 00:19:44,315 NARRATOR: With the discovery of Karen Jones's body, 392 00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:48,995 detectives started to think these killings might be linked. 393 00:19:49,070 --> 00:19:51,635 They did the autopsy on Karen Jones. 394 00:19:51,710 --> 00:19:54,835 And at that point, it was kind of a feeling already. 395 00:19:54,910 --> 00:19:56,515 It took the slugs out of the head. 396 00:19:56,590 --> 00:19:59,635 And it was immediately sent to ballistics. 397 00:19:59,710 --> 00:20:03,195 And they got a match that the slugs in Karen Jones 398 00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:07,235 were the same as the two sisters, Gina and Cynthia. 399 00:20:07,310 --> 00:20:11,442 Now, we know we have a serial killer. 400 00:20:11,517 --> 00:20:16,035 NARRATOR: All three victims had been shot with the same gun. 401 00:20:16,110 --> 00:20:20,795 One week later on the 27th of June 1980, 402 00:20:20,870 --> 00:20:23,955 Exxie Wilson's head was discovered. 403 00:20:24,030 --> 00:20:27,155 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: Bundy went out and bought an ornate box. 404 00:20:27,230 --> 00:20:29,395 They wrapped the head in clothing, 405 00:20:29,470 --> 00:20:34,035 dumped it in the chest, put the chest into an alley. 406 00:20:34,110 --> 00:20:36,075 FRANK GARCIA: It was, I guess, four or five days 407 00:20:36,150 --> 00:20:40,075 later, the head was discovered by a motorist about 1:00 408 00:20:40,150 --> 00:20:41,515 o'clock in the morning. 409 00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:45,115 And he hit this little wooden box that 410 00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:47,355 looked like a treasure chest. 411 00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:51,835 He got out, looked at it, and he saw that it was a human head. 412 00:20:51,910 --> 00:20:53,355 NARRATOR: The head was positively 413 00:20:53,430 --> 00:20:56,842 identified as Exxie Wilson. 414 00:20:56,917 --> 00:20:58,715 FRANK GARCIA: That head was taken 415 00:20:58,790 --> 00:21:00,915 immediately by the coroner. 416 00:21:00,990 --> 00:21:03,795 The slugs were removed immediately 417 00:21:03,870 --> 00:21:06,155 to ballistics at the crime lab. 418 00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:09,395 That came back positive [inaudible].. 419 00:21:09,470 --> 00:21:15,715 So now, you have a full blown serial killing investigation. 420 00:21:15,790 --> 00:21:18,755 NARRATOR: A depraved picture was starting to emerge 421 00:21:18,830 --> 00:21:20,435 surrounding these killings. 422 00:21:20,510 --> 00:21:24,435 And a new wave of terror flooded the streets of LA. 423 00:21:24,510 --> 00:21:29,195 Local press calling the murderer The Sunset Strip Killer. 424 00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:30,668 FRANK GARCIA: In this particular case, 425 00:21:30,744 --> 00:21:32,875 we were thinking that was just one killer 426 00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:35,435 responsible for all these killings. 427 00:21:35,444 --> 00:21:37,635 All the ballistics came back to the same gun. 428 00:21:37,710 --> 00:21:41,275 It was a 25 caliber Raven, semiautomatic. 429 00:21:41,350 --> 00:21:45,042 So in our mind, it was the same killer committing these crimes. 430 00:21:45,117 --> 00:21:46,635 NARRATOR: With conclusive evidence 431 00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:49,755 they had a serial killer on the loose in LA, 432 00:21:49,764 --> 00:21:53,795 detectives started a task force dedicated to catching 433 00:21:53,870 --> 00:21:56,315 The Sunset Strip Killer. 434 00:21:56,324 --> 00:21:59,795 Then on the 30th of June, a snake hunter 435 00:21:59,870 --> 00:22:02,395 out in San Fernando found the body 436 00:22:02,470 --> 00:22:06,555 of another woman in the ravine just off the freeway. 437 00:22:06,630 --> 00:22:09,235 She'd been shot. 438 00:22:09,310 --> 00:22:10,648 FRANK GARCIA: She was decomposed. 439 00:22:10,724 --> 00:22:13,435 But they took one or two slugs out of her. 440 00:22:13,444 --> 00:22:19,835 And those slugs were matched to Marano, Chandler, Exxie 441 00:22:19,910 --> 00:22:22,675 Wilson, Karen Jones, and Comer was 442 00:22:22,750 --> 00:22:25,315 the fifth one to have a match. 443 00:22:25,390 --> 00:22:28,995 NARRATOR: The victim was identified as Marnette Comer. 444 00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:32,315 She was just 17 years old and was last seen 445 00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:35,555 on the 21st of May in 1980. 446 00:22:35,630 --> 00:22:39,235 It was Marnette's T-shirt that Exxie Wilson's head 447 00:22:39,310 --> 00:22:41,555 was later found wrapped in. 448 00:22:41,630 --> 00:22:43,435 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: She was a vulnerable child, somebody 449 00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:45,555 who wasn't able to consent. 450 00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:48,635 And Clark can sniff out vulnerability. 451 00:22:48,644 --> 00:22:50,035 He is a predator. 452 00:22:50,110 --> 00:22:52,315 He knew that it would be really easy to get 453 00:22:52,390 --> 00:22:55,155 this young woman into his car and do with her 454 00:22:55,230 --> 00:22:57,675 whatever he wanted. 455 00:22:57,750 --> 00:23:01,115 NARRATOR: Marnette had been Doug Clark's first victim. 456 00:23:01,190 --> 00:23:03,395 The discovery of her body over a month 457 00:23:03,470 --> 00:23:07,515 later came as a reminder to 37-year-old Bundy 458 00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:10,755 that she was not yet in on Clark's act. 459 00:23:10,764 --> 00:23:14,635 In a bid to take control, Carol Bundy would soon take 460 00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:18,475 matters into her own hands. 461 00:23:18,550 --> 00:23:21,195 With five victims conclusively linked 462 00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:24,035 to The Sunset Strip Killer, the police were 463 00:23:24,110 --> 00:23:27,675 desperate to solve the case. 464 00:23:27,750 --> 00:23:32,395 On the 9th of August, another headless torso was discovered. 465 00:23:32,470 --> 00:23:37,075 This time, however, the victim was male. 466 00:23:37,150 --> 00:23:38,562 RONALD COEN: The murder of Jack Murray 467 00:23:38,637 --> 00:23:42,595 was one of the most brutal murders that I've encountered. 468 00:23:42,670 --> 00:23:45,155 NARRATOR: 45-year-old Jack Murray 469 00:23:45,230 --> 00:23:47,202 was a country and Western singer, 470 00:23:47,277 --> 00:23:49,875 who often performed at the little Nashville 471 00:23:49,950 --> 00:23:51,675 in North Hollywood. 472 00:23:51,750 --> 00:23:56,315 He was also one of Carol Bundy's old flames. 473 00:23:56,324 --> 00:23:58,002 RONALD COEN: Jack Murray was known 474 00:23:58,077 --> 00:24:00,515 as the Australian Tom Jones. 475 00:24:00,590 --> 00:24:05,875 And although he was married, Jack Murray and Carol Bundy 476 00:24:05,950 --> 00:24:07,435 were having an affair. 477 00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:11,595 NARRATOR: Carol and Jack met in early 1979. 478 00:24:11,670 --> 00:24:15,035 But the honeymoon period didn't last long. 479 00:24:15,044 --> 00:24:18,195 The following year, things turned sour. 480 00:24:18,204 --> 00:24:21,075 FRANK GARCIA: Jack got tired of her pestering him. 481 00:24:21,150 --> 00:24:23,235 And basically, it was the type of thing where Jack 482 00:24:23,310 --> 00:24:25,875 told Carol don't bother me I'll call 483 00:24:25,950 --> 00:24:28,635 you when I need you type thing. 484 00:24:28,710 --> 00:24:30,155 Doug was over here. 485 00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:34,875 Carol would still go back to Jack off and on, off and on. 486 00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:37,555 NARRATOR: On the 3rd of August 1980, 487 00:24:37,630 --> 00:24:40,315 Bundy told Jack that she'd been helping 488 00:24:40,324 --> 00:24:43,675 her new boyfriend Doug Clark killed sex 489 00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:46,115 workers from the Sunset Strip. 490 00:24:46,190 --> 00:24:47,275 FRANK GARCIA: He didn't believe her. 491 00:24:47,350 --> 00:24:49,235 She showed him the guns. 492 00:24:49,244 --> 00:24:50,162 He said, oh, my God. 493 00:24:50,237 --> 00:24:51,715 You're not kidding. 494 00:24:51,790 --> 00:24:54,595 Carol goes home tells Doug what she had done. 495 00:24:54,670 --> 00:24:56,635 That's when Doug tells her you're going 496 00:24:56,710 --> 00:24:59,315 to have to take care of Jack. 497 00:24:59,324 --> 00:25:01,595 JOHN STALBERG: Nobody really wants to go to jail for murder. 498 00:25:01,604 --> 00:25:05,075 So she realized also oh, gee, I really screwed up. 499 00:25:05,150 --> 00:25:07,035 What am I doing telling somebody that I'm 500 00:25:07,044 --> 00:25:08,602 involved in some murders? 501 00:25:08,677 --> 00:25:11,635 So she was going to solve that problem, too. 502 00:25:11,710 --> 00:25:14,635 NARRATOR: In the early hours of the 4th of August, 503 00:25:14,710 --> 00:25:17,315 Bundy went back to the little Nashville 504 00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:22,595 and lured Jack Murray away with the promise of sex. 505 00:25:22,604 --> 00:25:24,755 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: I think there's a sense in which he has 506 00:25:24,830 --> 00:25:27,235 that expectation of women anyway, 507 00:25:27,310 --> 00:25:28,962 even this woman who's just confessed 508 00:25:29,037 --> 00:25:31,235 this horrendous crime to him. 509 00:25:31,310 --> 00:25:35,795 But that was to be the downfall of Jack. 510 00:25:35,870 --> 00:25:37,668 RONALD COEN: Murray owned a van. 511 00:25:37,444 --> 00:25:41,035 Carol Bundy took Jack Murray into the van on the guise 512 00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:42,975 that he would orally copulate her. 513 00:25:43,051 --> 00:25:46,235 And as he did this act, she shot on the side of the head. 514 00:25:46,310 --> 00:25:51,515 And then she had to get rid of the bullet and the evidence. 515 00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:53,115 So she cut his head off. 516 00:25:53,190 --> 00:25:56,755 NARRATOR: Five days later, his body was discovered. 517 00:25:56,830 --> 00:25:58,435 FRANK GARCIA: I wasn't there at the crime scene. 518 00:25:58,510 --> 00:26:02,115 But some of the people that we talked to afterwards 519 00:26:02,190 --> 00:26:03,995 said you couldn't see through the glass 520 00:26:04,070 --> 00:26:06,155 because the flies were so thick. 521 00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:09,875 And that's what the neighbors reported the smell. 522 00:26:09,950 --> 00:26:11,822 Well, that was Jack Murray. 523 00:26:11,564 --> 00:26:15,315 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: So when Jack's body was found 524 00:26:15,390 --> 00:26:19,235 and police questioned people in the bar, 525 00:26:19,310 --> 00:26:23,362 they mentioned that he had been seen with Carol Bundy. 526 00:26:23,437 --> 00:26:28,195 She was brought in and Doug Clark came with her. 527 00:26:28,270 --> 00:26:30,235 And she answered the questions. 528 00:26:30,310 --> 00:26:31,675 Yeah, she had seen him. 529 00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:32,955 They were friends. 530 00:26:33,030 --> 00:26:37,602 She didn't give anything away, but Doug Clark 531 00:26:37,677 --> 00:26:39,915 sweated and sweated. 532 00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:42,035 ELIZABETH YARDLEY: The fact that he goes along with her 533 00:26:42,110 --> 00:26:43,715 that is an acts of control. 534 00:26:43,790 --> 00:26:46,515 And I think the police will be quite well aware of that. 535 00:26:46,590 --> 00:26:49,355 And they are looking at this guy who's come in with her. 536 00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:52,875 And he has no reason to be agitated or sweating. 537 00:26:52,950 --> 00:26:55,715 So that's what gets their radar pinging, 538 00:26:55,790 --> 00:26:59,235 that perhaps, he could have something to do with this too. 539 00:26:59,310 --> 00:27:02,795 NARRATOR: With insufficient evidence to charge either Clark 540 00:27:02,870 --> 00:27:05,155 or Bundy, the police let the couple 541 00:27:05,230 --> 00:27:09,195 go despite their mounting concerns. 542 00:27:09,204 --> 00:27:12,235 Carol was a basket case. 543 00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:14,715 It was getting to her. 544 00:27:14,790 --> 00:27:16,255 She went to work. 545 00:27:16,330 --> 00:27:19,435 She was a licensed vocational nurse at the hospital. 546 00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,435 She was having problems with her supervisor 547 00:27:21,510 --> 00:27:24,035 because her mind wasn't in work. 548 00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:25,395 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: She feels horrible. 549 00:27:25,404 --> 00:27:27,042 She doesn't know what to do. 550 00:27:27,117 --> 00:27:32,035 She started telling co-workers what she and Clark 551 00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:33,435 had been doing together. 552 00:27:33,510 --> 00:27:36,435 She just wouldn't stop talking. 553 00:27:36,510 --> 00:27:39,715 They were shocked, horrified. 554 00:27:39,790 --> 00:27:42,595 And they called the police. 555 00:27:42,670 --> 00:27:46,715 By the time the detectives arrived, Bundy had fled. 556 00:27:46,790 --> 00:27:51,875 But later that morning, she called the LAPD herself. 557 00:27:51,950 --> 00:27:53,308 CAROL BUNDY (ON PHONE): Some time 558 00:27:53,384 --> 00:27:55,235 back, you were having a series of murders involving 559 00:27:55,310 --> 00:27:56,435 prostitutes in Hollywood? 560

Desperate to be taken seriously, 566 00:28:04,790 --> 00:28:07,835 Bundy started giving details only somebody 567 00:28:07,910 --> 00:28:11,475 involved in the murders could possibly have known. 568 00:28:11,550 --> 00:28:13,235 CAROL BUNDY (ON PHONE): He was, well, you don't know 569 00:28:13,310 --> 00:28:14,842 it because you weren't there. 570 00:28:14,917 --> 00:28:15,995 But the head was decapitated. 571 00:28:16,004 --> 00:28:17,275 I did that. 572 00:28:17,350 --> 00:28:19,362 He was stabbed several times in the back. 573 00:28:19,437 --> 00:28:20,755 POLICE OFFICER (ON PHONE): Doesn't that 574 00:28:20,764 --> 00:28:22,555 make you feel bad though that you killed somebody? 575 00:28:22,630 --> 00:28:24,002 CAROL BUNDY (ON PHONE): Would you really 576 00:28:24,077 --> 00:28:25,195 like to know the honest truth? 577 00:28:25,270 --> 00:28:26,155 POLICE OFFICER (ON PHONE): For sure! 578 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:27,602 CAROL BUNDY (ON PHONE): OK. 579 00:28:27,677 --> 00:28:28,555 The honest truth is, it's fun to kill people. 580 00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:29,922 And if I was allowed to run loose, 581 00:28:29,997 --> 00:28:33,355 I'd probably do it again. 582 00:28:33,430 --> 00:28:35,635 It really would seem to be quite 583 00:28:35,710 --> 00:28:38,795 bizarre behavior for somebody to drop themselves right in it 584 00:28:38,870 --> 00:28:40,342 like this. 585 00:28:40,417 --> 00:28:42,235 But here's somebody who wants to be validated. 586 00:28:42,310 --> 00:28:43,242 They want to be liked. 587 00:28:43,317 --> 00:28:44,635 They want to be recognized. 588 00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:47,475 And she literally can't contain herself. 589 00:28:47,550 --> 00:28:50,475 I'll be-- there's a restaurant called the Gristmill, 590 00:28:50,550 --> 00:28:51,955 which is in Burbank. 591 00:28:52,030 --> 00:28:54,235 I'll be there at 2 o'clock. 592 00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:56,435 My name is Carol Bundy. 593 00:28:56,510 --> 00:28:58,115 NARRATOR: The center of attention 594 00:28:58,190 --> 00:29:01,915 at last and determined to remain in control, 595 00:29:01,990 --> 00:29:04,075 Bundy arranged to meet detectives 596 00:29:04,150 --> 00:29:05,835 at a local restaurant. 597 00:29:05,910 --> 00:29:08,075 But before she got off the phone, 598 00:29:08,150 --> 00:29:10,235 officers following up on the earlier 599 00:29:10,310 --> 00:29:14,275 report from her work colleagues were knocking at her door. 600 00:29:14,350 --> 00:29:17,955 Bundy hurriedly began grabbing items of evidence 601 00:29:18,030 --> 00:29:21,235 to take down to the police station with her. 602 00:29:21,310 --> 00:29:24,555 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: She has several pair of women's panties 603 00:29:24,630 --> 00:29:29,795 that she hands over and says these belong to the victims 604 00:29:29,870 --> 00:29:31,675 of The Sunset Strip Killer. 605 00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:37,475 She also shows them the photo album of the sex 606 00:29:37,550 --> 00:29:40,435 acts with the 11-year-old neighbor 607 00:29:40,510 --> 00:29:44,795 and admits that she killed Jack Murray, 608 00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:50,082 but says most of the murders were done by Doug Clark. 609 00:29:52,710 --> 00:29:55,362 NARRATOR: Detective Frank Garcia conducted 610 00:29:55,437 --> 00:29:59,675 the initial interview with her when she was in custody. 611 00:29:59,684 --> 00:30:01,402 FRANK GARCIA: It was a typical police interview, 612 00:30:01,477 --> 00:30:04,915 where you sit down, introductions, everything's 613 00:30:04,990 --> 00:30:06,635 nice, and how are you? 614 00:30:06,644 --> 00:30:08,122 Can we get you coffee or water? 615 00:30:08,197 --> 00:30:09,435 You know that type of thing. 616 00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:12,435 NARRATOR: 37-year-old Carol Bundy appeared 617 00:30:12,444 --> 00:30:15,315 happy to discuss her crimes. 618 00:30:15,390 --> 00:30:17,002 FRANK GARCIA: She went into minute detail 619 00:30:16,844 --> 00:30:19,635 on her killing Jack Murray, how she had trouble cutting 620 00:30:19,710 --> 00:30:22,835 his head off and all the other things she did to his body 621 00:30:22,844 --> 00:30:26,155 because she told us she wanted to make it look like some sex 622 00:30:26,230 --> 00:30:28,155 pervert that killed him. 623 00:30:28,230 --> 00:30:30,195 CAROL BUNDY (ON RECORDER): I don't have any regrets 624 00:30:30,270 --> 00:30:31,475 over having done Jack. 625 00:30:31,484 --> 00:30:36,595 As far as Jack himself is concerned, 626 00:30:36,670 --> 00:30:39,355 he really got off kind because he was dead before I 627 00:30:39,430 --> 00:30:41,275 did anything else to him. 628 00:30:41,350 --> 00:30:44,795 RONALD COEN: I remember hearing the tape recording 629 00:30:44,804 --> 00:30:47,275 of the entire confession. 630 00:30:47,350 --> 00:30:50,075 And I was a veteran prosecutor. 631 00:30:50,084 --> 00:30:55,435 I had many, many cases of homicide on nature. 632 00:30:55,510 --> 00:31:00,235 And my chin hit the desk when I was hearing her statements. 633 00:31:00,310 --> 00:31:03,595 NARRATOR: But her astounding confessions would continue 634 00:31:03,670 --> 00:31:05,635 to shock investigators. 635 00:31:05,710 --> 00:31:08,955 The frumpy nurse from Burbank, Los Angeles 636 00:31:09,030 --> 00:31:11,235 wouldn't hold back on the details. 637 00:31:11,310 --> 00:31:15,475 And she would turn the tables on Clark. 638 00:31:15,550 --> 00:31:18,795 She told investigators that her boyfriend 639 00:31:18,870 --> 00:31:22,242 was The Sunset Strip Killer. 640 00:31:22,317 --> 00:31:24,035 CAROL BUNDY (ON RECORDER): It doesn't matter if it's 641 00:31:24,110 --> 00:31:27,235 prostitutes or whatever. 642 00:31:27,310 --> 00:31:28,482 These are young girls. 643 00:31:28,557 --> 00:31:31,595 If he can get them in the car, his criteria, 644 00:31:31,670 --> 00:31:33,595 believe it or not for whether or not they die 645 00:31:33,604 --> 00:31:36,475 is whether or not they give a decent blow job. 646 00:31:36,550 --> 00:31:38,315 NARRATOR: With Doug Clark accused 647 00:31:38,390 --> 00:31:40,675 of being Bundy's partner in crime, 648 00:31:40,750 --> 00:31:44,675 a warrant was quickly issued for his arrest. 649 00:31:44,750 --> 00:31:49,402 But unlike Bundy, he wasn't going to admit anything. 650 00:31:49,477 --> 00:31:51,395 So Clark suggests that Bundy has 651 00:31:51,470 --> 00:31:54,275 completely set him up for this. 652 00:31:54,350 --> 00:31:57,635 He makes her out to be the mastermind, 653 00:31:57,710 --> 00:31:59,355 which is pretty incredulous. 654 00:31:59,430 --> 00:32:01,915 And the police will be very skeptical of this 655 00:32:01,990 --> 00:32:03,902 from the outset because they will 656 00:32:03,977 --> 00:32:07,475 be able to see that Bundy is clearly very easily influenced. 657 00:32:07,550 --> 00:32:10,555 So they know that yes, she's the puppet. 658 00:32:10,630 --> 00:32:14,235 But the Clark is the puppet master. 659 00:32:14,244 --> 00:32:16,435 NARRATOR: With both killers in custody, 660 00:32:16,510 --> 00:32:18,715 the city of Los Angeles could breathe 661 00:32:18,790 --> 00:32:22,435 a momentary sigh of relief. 662 00:32:22,510 --> 00:32:25,715 But Bundy's confession alone wasn't going to be 663 00:32:25,790 --> 00:32:28,395 enough to convict Doug Clark. 664 00:32:28,470 --> 00:32:29,715 FRANK GARCIA: After the arrest, we 665 00:32:29,790 --> 00:32:31,435 had obtained a search warrant for the garage 666 00:32:31,510 --> 00:32:34,235 that he had rented, which was in Burbank. 667 00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:36,035 We went to the location of the garage, 668 00:32:36,110 --> 00:32:39,635 I would say roughly 10:30, 11 o'clock that night. 669 00:32:39,710 --> 00:32:41,515 And the garage was small. 670 00:32:41,590 --> 00:32:43,155 It was very dusty. 671 00:32:43,230 --> 00:32:44,402 We lit it up. 672 00:32:44,244 --> 00:32:45,835 And you could see with the lights 673 00:32:45,910 --> 00:32:49,675 that there was like drag marks on the smooth concrete surface 674 00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:51,115 of the floor there. 675 00:32:51,190 --> 00:32:53,835 NARRATOR: The drag marks made sense to Frank. 676 00:32:53,910 --> 00:32:57,835 They fitted with an explanation that Bundy had provided. 677 00:32:57,910 --> 00:32:59,555 CAROL BUNDY (ON RECORDER): He took them bodily out 678 00:32:59,630 --> 00:33:02,475 of the car, put them in a rental garage 679 00:33:02,550 --> 00:33:04,755 that he had that had a single bed in there. 680 00:33:04,830 --> 00:33:06,402 And he used them sexually. 681 00:33:06,477 --> 00:33:07,915 DETECTIVE (ON RECORDER): Excuse me, you're 682 00:33:07,990 --> 00:33:09,302 talking about after death? 683 00:33:09,377 --> 00:33:10,475 CAROL BUNDY (ON RECORDER): After death. 684 00:33:10,550 --> 00:33:14,595 He tripped out on social activities 685 00:33:14,670 --> 00:33:17,562 with dead and dying people, necrophilia and stuff. 686 00:33:17,637 --> 00:33:22,275 FRANK GARCIA: The drag marks led to the corner of the garage, 687 00:33:22,350 --> 00:33:27,235 which coincided with what Carol had told Broda and myself 688 00:33:27,244 --> 00:33:30,115 that Doug had told her about taking the girls to the garage 689 00:33:30,190 --> 00:33:33,035 and placing them in these sexual positions. 690 00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:34,835 And apparently, at one time, there 691 00:33:34,910 --> 00:33:37,155 was a mattress in that corner, which 692 00:33:37,230 --> 00:33:39,875 would have been the outright that was on the floor. 693 00:33:39,950 --> 00:33:42,042 NARRATOR: The forensics team confirmed 694 00:33:42,117 --> 00:33:44,435 the drag marks were blood. 695 00:33:44,510 --> 00:33:47,115 FRANK GARCIA: We noticed there was a boot print. 696 00:33:47,190 --> 00:33:49,115 We asked the technician if there was something 697 00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:50,435 he could do about that. 698 00:33:50,510 --> 00:33:53,755 He said if I lift the print, it'll destroy 699 00:33:53,830 --> 00:33:55,835 the blood that's under there. 700 00:33:55,910 --> 00:33:57,562 [inaudible] we need that print. 701 00:33:57,637 --> 00:34:00,435 NARRATOR: Detective Frank Garcia was convinced this 702 00:34:00,510 --> 00:34:03,235 was a vital piece of evidence. 703 00:34:03,310 --> 00:34:05,715 He was also convinced that boiler engineer 704 00:34:05,790 --> 00:34:09,875 Clark had hidden the murder weapons, the matching guns, 705 00:34:09,950 --> 00:34:11,635 at his place of work. 706 00:34:11,710 --> 00:34:15,275 Frank paid a visit to the Jergen's manufacturing plant, 707 00:34:15,350 --> 00:34:17,555 where Clark was employed. 708 00:34:17,564 --> 00:34:20,115 FRANK GARCIA: I talked to the manager of the plant 709 00:34:20,190 --> 00:34:23,155 and I said, here's what the deal is with that boiler. 710 00:34:23,230 --> 00:34:25,155 And the boiler is a huge thing. 711 00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:27,955 It's like 2 and 1/2, 3 stories tall. 712 00:34:28,030 --> 00:34:30,635 And we found out later that the temperature in that thing 713 00:34:30,710 --> 00:34:33,195 reaches like 4,000 degrees. 714 00:34:33,270 --> 00:34:36,075 NARRATOR: But searching Clark's work place was going 715 00:34:36,150 --> 00:34:39,315 to prove easier said than done. 716 00:34:39,390 --> 00:34:41,108 FRANK GARCIA: The manager said it'll 717 00:34:41,184 --> 00:34:43,555 take a minimum of three days for that thing to cool off to work. 718 00:34:43,630 --> 00:34:46,515 It can be inspected and searched. 719 00:34:46,590 --> 00:34:48,995 Once that's done, it's going to take another three or four 720 00:34:49,070 --> 00:34:50,915 days to get it back online. 721 00:34:50,990 --> 00:34:52,955 We're looking at over a week. 722 00:34:53,030 --> 00:34:55,235 And I go, I suggest that you have 723 00:34:55,310 --> 00:34:59,315 somebody search that boiler room every nook and cranny. 724 00:34:59,390 --> 00:35:02,842 Because if guns don't turn up, we're going to have 725 00:35:02,917 --> 00:35:05,475 to shut that boiler down. 726 00:35:05,550 --> 00:35:09,995 I don't think it was quite two days, we got a call. 727 00:35:10,070 --> 00:35:11,035 And he said, hey, guess what? 728 00:35:11,110 --> 00:35:12,475 They found the guns. 729 00:35:12,550 --> 00:35:14,635 NARRATOR: Things were looking up for Frank 730 00:35:14,710 --> 00:35:16,495 and the rest of the team. 731 00:35:16,204 --> 00:35:19,435 At around the same time as the guns were discovered, 732 00:35:19,510 --> 00:35:22,875 they made another important discovery. 733 00:35:22,950 --> 00:35:26,315 We're robbery homicide in the squad room 734 00:35:26,324 --> 00:35:28,275 and they bring Doug Clark up. 735 00:35:28,350 --> 00:35:30,315 So we're sitting there talking stuff. 736 00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:34,395 And Doug in this real cocky, arrogant way 737 00:35:34,470 --> 00:35:40,402 puts his feet up on the desk and [inaudible] and I go like this. 738 00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:46,875 It's the boot print on the boots he was wearing. 739 00:35:46,950 --> 00:35:48,755 We literally ran up to him. 740 00:35:48,830 --> 00:35:50,635 Take your boots off. 741 00:35:50,710 --> 00:35:53,155 NARRATOR: Forensics confirm Clark's boots 742 00:35:53,230 --> 00:35:55,795 matched the prints lifted from the garage. 743 00:35:55,870 --> 00:35:59,155 With the evidence mounting up, both Clark and Bundy 744 00:35:59,164 --> 00:36:01,515 were charged with murder. 745 00:36:01,590 --> 00:36:05,835 Whilst awaiting trial, 38-year-old Bundy underwent 746 00:36:05,910 --> 00:36:08,515 psychiatric assessments. 747 00:36:08,590 --> 00:36:10,922 John Stalberg was the psychiatrist 748 00:36:10,997 --> 00:36:16,235 tasked with interviewing and building a rapport with her. 749 00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:19,955 I was court appointed and it was a confidential report only 750 00:36:20,030 --> 00:36:22,475 to be sent to her attorney. 751 00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:26,035 And the issues that he wanted addressed by me 752 00:36:26,110 --> 00:36:28,435 or whether she was competent to stand trial. 753 00:36:28,510 --> 00:36:32,435 And the second one was whether she had a psychiatric defense, 754 00:36:32,510 --> 00:36:35,755 such as insanity or diminished capacity, which could 755 00:36:35,830 --> 00:36:38,955 have perhaps reduced the crime from first degree 756 00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:40,308 to second degree. 757 00:36:40,384 --> 00:36:43,002 NARRATOR: The experienced clinician was shocked 758 00:36:43,077 --> 00:36:46,035 at Bundy's candid confessions. 759 00:36:46,110 --> 00:36:47,315 JOHN STALBERG: I remember her telling me 760 00:36:47,390 --> 00:36:48,715 that she would pass on the gun. 761 00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:51,995 He would reach back and she give him the revolver. 762 00:36:52,004 --> 00:36:54,882 And then just when he was having an orgasm 763 00:36:54,957 --> 00:36:57,035 from the oral copulation, he would shoot 764 00:36:57,110 --> 00:36:58,435 the prostitute in the head. 765 00:36:58,510 --> 00:37:00,995 And I remember joking with Bundy that I said, 766 00:37:01,070 --> 00:37:03,915 he's got to be a good shot at [inaudible] man 767 00:37:03,990 --> 00:37:07,715 who would shoot that close to his crotch a gun, you know. 768 00:37:07,790 --> 00:37:09,435 But she laughed about that. 769 00:37:09,510 --> 00:37:13,562 NARRATOR: John spent three hours assessing Carol Bundy. 770 00:37:13,637 --> 00:37:16,475 As far as any personality characteristics like 771 00:37:16,484 --> 00:37:20,875 psychopathic, or dangerous, or obviously anti-social 772 00:37:20,950 -->

00:38:22,150 --> 00:38:24,635 JOHN STALBERG: When Clark acted as his own attorney, 791 00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:29,155 it shows me, number one, that he was very narcissistic, 792 00:38:29,230 -->

00:38:39,324 --> 00:38:42,035 bad time when she testified on the witness stand 799 00:38:42,110 --> 00:38:43,542 in front of the jury. 800 00:38:46,190 --> 00:38:48,835 KATHERINE RAMSLAND: The problem
