Ted Bundy's girlfriend reveals the only thing the serial killer was ashamed

There was one thing Ted Bundy was ashamed of – and his ex-girlfriend revealed it in a book about the time she spent with the serial killer.

The book The Phantom Prince: My life with Ted Bundy describes the serial killer as a charming and charismatic man.

Elizabeth Kloepfer is seduced by Bundy's engaging and sympathetic nature, who completely ignores the depths of her depravity.

He is even good with his girl from his previous marriage which ended with a divorce.

She remained in love with him – until she found a meat cleaver under the seat of her car and a bowl of panties in her apartment.

But the book, which was adapted in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile with Zac Efron in the role of Bundy, reveals the only thing the serial killer was ashamed of.

According to Kloepfer, author of the book under the pseudonym of Elizabeth Kendall, Bundy hated to talk about his affiliation.

In the 1981 book, now out of print, she writes, "But Ted was as sophisticated as he was with a hang-up that surprised me.

"Shortly after starting to spend time together, he came one night and said that he had something very important to tell me, something that could change my opinion of him.

"By trembling with nervousness, he told me that he was illegitimate.

"His mother gave birth to a home for single mothers in the East," they said, "and they moved to Tacoma to live with very small parents.

"Then she married Johnnie Bundy and had four more children. Johnnie Bundy had adopted it, but Ted knew nothing until his teens.

"It was a terrible shock.

"A cousin had teased him about it and Ted refused to believe it.

"The cousin took Ted to the attic and showed him a proof: his birth certificate."

According to Kloepfer in The Phantom Prince, Bundy said he was furious with his mother for not telling him.

Kloepfer says that Bundy cried when he told her about it.

She writes, "It bothers him that his family belongs to the middle clbad. He was ambitious and wanted to be better than that.

"He liked the fact that my father was a renowned dentist.

"But for me, at least, the status of his family does not seem to be a major problem, Ted loved them a lot, and the success would be all the more satisfying if he managed alone."

Even though she was completely in love with him, Elizabeth ended up going to the police. After several coincidences between Bundy and the unknown murderer, who kidnapped attractive young women, became too glaring.

She explained to them that Bundy tended to harbad women and that she had discovered a bowl of women's panties in her apartment and the knife in her car.

But the police did not have enough to condemn Bundy at the time and, incredibly, despite all her suspicions, she stayed with him – until he finally confessed.

Bundy was finally convicted in three trials of 12 murders and sentenced to death.

He was electrocuted on January 24, 1989. Bundy was 42 years old.

Bundy decapitated his victims and kept a part of their heads in his apartment as a souvenir.

Extremely nasty, shocking Evil and Vile, with Zac Efron as Ted Bundy and Lily Collins in Elizabeth Kloepfer, in The Phantom Prince, will be released in the Sky Cinema and Cinema theaters on May 3rd.
