Hi everyone. I'm Katie Ring, self-defense instructor, advocate for victims, and host of the new

true crime podcast, America's most infamous crimes. Each week, I'm diving into one of the most

notorious crimes in American history, or one that's gripping the country right now, uncovering

not just what happened, but how it changed the way we live, investigate, and seek justice.

From serial killers like Ted Bundy who terrorize entire communities,

to high-profile kidnappings like the Elizabeth Smart case,

to shocking investigations like the Idaho College murders.

Every case unfolds across multiple episodes, released Tuesday through Thursday,

taking you from the first moment something felt wrong, all the way to the truth, if it was ever

fully uncovered. Today, I'm sharing an episode about one of the most infamous serial killers

in American history, Ted Bundy. What you're about to hear is part one, covering events that first drew attention to the case

and early warning signs investigators initially missed.

If you like what you hear, follow America's most infamous crimes right now wherever you

listen to podcast to listen to Part 2.

You can also find a link to the show in the episode's description that will take you there.

They can look like your neighbor, your coworker, your classmate, or even your partner.
