"On October 2, 1974, Ted Bundy murdered 16-year-old Nancy Wilcox in Utah, and a week later, he had the urge to kill again. Teenager Rhonda Stapley was walking home when Bundy pulled over in his Volkswagen Beetle, and she accepted a ride from him. “And then he turned a way that didn’t seem like the normal route to go,” Stapley remembers. “He continued to drive up one canyon and then into another, never stopping and that’s when the ride started to feel uncomfortable.”

“He turned in his seat so he was almost facing me, and leaned in really close. I thought he was going to kiss me. But instead, he said, ‘You know what? I’m going to kill you.’ And he put his hands on my throat and started squeezing and shaking me.”

Stapley slipped in and out of consciousness during the attack. When she could see Bundy 6 meters (20 ft) away from the car gathering his killing tools, she ran for her life. Stapley tripped and fell into a river that swept her away—an accident that helped save her life."
