You are now listening to True Murder, the most shocking killers in true crime history,

Every week, another fascinating author

talking about the most shocking and infamous killers

in true crime history.

True murder.

With your host, journalist and author, Dan Zufansky. Good evening.

Including never-before-before-seen photos and handwritten letters from Ted Bundy,

Dark Tide's message is as gut-wrenching as it is clear, asking the question,

how well do we know those we trust most?

Edna's world turned upside down when her close cousin, Ted Bundy, was linked to the gruesome

murders that had plagued her hometown of Seattle. Both devastating and dangerous, she reveals her journey of discovering the truth about her cousin,

who was more like a sibling, a man she loved, admired, and thought she knew so well.

Edna delves into the unbelievable and chilling episode she experienced,

from confronting Ted and discovering a side of him

she never suspected, to waking to the FBI at her door after he had escaped jail. Whether searching

memories for signs she'd missed, or detailing scenes of life under the radar in a world still fixated on her

cousin, Edna's account tells the Ted Bundy's story from a critical new perspective, someone

who called him family.

The book that we're featuring this evening is Dark Tide, growing up with Ted Bundy,

with my special guests, author Edna Cowell Martin, and screenwriter and author Megan Atkinson.
