Criminology is a true crime podcast that may contain discussion about violent or disturbing topics.

Listener discretion is advised.

I'd like to welcome everyone to episode two of season three of Criminology.

So more if we had a great response from episode one, the one thing that we do want to talk

about is we had a sound issue.

It was on my end with Morph's part, but we've corrected it so we should be very very sharp this episode and moving forward.

Alright, more if we got some more Patreon shout outs. Let's do that.

We had Veronica Moreno, David Paulson, Jane Skeleton, Amanda Hinkle, Steve Miller, Lucy Wilcox, Heidi Ortega, Michael Brown,

Sam Lipson, Regina Palito, Chrissy Sullivan, Ian Gill, Craig Ganon, Terry Coombs jumped out at our highest level, Charles Middleton, Yvonne Burn, Kimberly Christensen, Lisa McRinickalus, Laurie Hughes, Marcy Duanau,

Diane Lopp, Amy Kay, Gary Lopez, Erica Hutchcraft, John Payne, Kathy Savage Davies, Laura Jones, Christina Carter, Elizabeth Polly, Courtney Rob, Cassie Rehn Kent, and Leslie Woodruff.

Right, I know a lot of names. We're still trying to get through Patreon names from when we had that time period off, but we're getting closer.

Some more. Let's do a quick recap of episode one. We covered Ted Bundy's childhood, and there's no doubt it was not a typical childhood.

He had abusive family members. His own mother pretended to be his older sister to all of this helped shape who Ted Bundy became after high school and as an adult,

we close the episode detailing Ted's murder of Linda Healey on March 12th 1974, 19 year old Donna Manson, a frequent hitchhiker went missing from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington.

She routinely left town without telling anyone and returned seemingly out of nowhere. Ted Bundy later admitted to decapitating her and incinerating her skull in Liz Clepfer's fireplace.

Her body was never identified, but may have been located in 1978 during a search near Mount Rainier. Two unidentified bodies from the search were mistakenly sent to a landfill in Tacoma.

Bundy told police later that he determined that her body had been found at one point, but she was never identified.

Just over a month later, 18-year-old Susan Rancourt was abducted from the campus of Central Washington State University in Ellen's Berg, Washington.

This was on April 17th, 1974. She had been on her way to meet a friend. Her skull and mandible bone were found in 1975, on Taylor Mountain, and it was determined she had been bludgeoned.

Years later, Ted Bundy admitted to her murder before he was executed.

20-year-old Roberta Kathy Parks was kidnapped from the campus of Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 6th, 1974.

For the first time, Bundy went outside of Washington State to ensure his crimes weren't linked back to him.
