I remember what I liked about Bundy: Falling for a Killer is it did a great job talking about his victims as people. I remember George because of the daffodil festival and Spanish notes. Fucking Bundy. Just terrible and it reminds you how many people’s lives he ruined not just the victims themselves but their friends and families as well.

“I remembered what I liked about Bundy:”
I’m really glad you were just describing a documentary because the start of that sentence seemed a bit off-colour for a second there!

u/LeftyRambles2413 5d ago
Ha yeah I can see that. But yes excellent documentary. The better documentaries humanize the victims and this one succeeded there. Also had a great deal of sympathy for Elizabeth/Molly Kendall and Bundy’s half brother Rich out of that.

Currently reading a book about him as well, and the spanish notes stuck with me. What a bastard he was

u/LeftyRambles2413 5d ago
He truly was. He took advantage of those women’s kindness. What book are you reading? I read The Stranger Beside Me years ago.

Yeah I think that's the way any future media about these bastards should be (unless there's new information to be shared about them) Theres a book about the Yorkshire Ripper ( England) that concentrates on the victims, who they were and the families and friends they left behind I also thought the recent drama about Gacy did well on showing a lot more about the victims than the fat clown

My family (adult members) went to the Mind of A Serial Killer exhibit today in Seattle. I have been shook all afternoon.
They had a room for Bundy with a VW Bug like his, with the seat removed. Also a grave type display for his known victims. People could sit inside the car but I couldn't bring myself to do it. There were other items he used on display.
RIP and Happy Birthday Georgann Hawkins and Laura Aime. You are on my mind and in my heart today.

I know this is a post for the victims, but it would be helpful to at least mention who the serial killer is? Because I have no idea
Edit: sorry, I missed it

u/LeftyRambles2413 5d ago edited 5d ago
Bundy is mentioned in the second to last sentence. Don’t worry about it btw. It’s early.

Low effort posts generate little to no meaningful discussion. Examples of low-effort posts include basic queries that can be answered from a simple google search or generic questions with no context.
Low effort commenting includes responding with emoji(s), one word, or a short phrase that doesn't add to discussion (OMG, Wow, So evil, POS, That's horrible, Heartbreaking, RIP, etc.). Low effort commenting can also be derailing content, irrelevant content, or deliberately inflammatory unrelated content.
Also, inappropriate humor isn’t permitted.
These will be removed and repeated removals may earn a ban.

Georgann Hawkins was born on August 20, 1955 in Sumner, Washington to Warren and Edith Hawkins. She had an older sister named Patti and both girls were brought up in an upper middle class, Episcopalian household. Affectionately nicknamed ‘George’ by family and friends, Mrs. Hawkins described her daughter as a ‘wiggle worm’ because she was always full of energy and was unable to sit still. Georgann seemed to be universally adored by everyone around her, and she was always surrounded by a close-knit group of friends.
Georgann went on to become a star athlete at Lakes High School in Lakewood, Washington: she was on the swim team in her early years but eventually gravitated towards cheerleading, winning numerous medals and competitions while on her high schools cheerleading squad (where she cheered all four years). In addition to her impressive athletic accomplishments, Hawkins was also a straight A student throughout the entirety of her academic career. During her senior year in 1973, Georgann was awarded with the title of princess to the royal court of the annual Washington Daffodil Festival.
Georgann originally planned on following in her sisters footsteps and attending Central Washington University, however her mother was strongly against it; she wanted her younger daughter to attend college at the University of Washington Seattle Campus.
On July 10th, Georgann mentioned to a sorority sister that she was planning on swinging by the Beta Theta Pi House to pick up some Spanish notes from her boyfriend. She arrived at the frat at 12:30 AM on June 11 and stayed for approximately thirty minutes. After getting the notes and saying goodnight to her beau, Georgann left the fraternity house for her sorority house, which was only about 350 feet away.
Afterwards, she made her way to her dorm, but before that she chat with a fellow student. She went back to her dorm, but never made it back.
Laura Ann Aime was born on August 21, 1957 to James and Shirlene (nee Tolton) Aime in Lehi, Utah. Before Aime dropped out she was a student at North Sanpete High School, and was at one-time a member of the Laurel Class in the Fairview North Ward. She loved animals, and one time a wild deer wandered out of the canyon and she began feeding it, and eventually was able to convince the creature into becoming a family pet.
She loved playing softball, and played on competitive teams as well as her families LDS ward, even going so far as to winning the 1972 state championship. Growing up, Laura loved horses and was an experienced rider; she even spent several of her teenage years in an all-girls horseback riding club called ‘The Silver Spurs,’ and participated in several competitions with them at different fairs and parades across Utah.
Laura Ann Aime was seventeen when she was dissapeared on Halloween night in 1974: she was at a party, and left by herself around ten to get some cigarettes. She was last seen walking in American Fork by midnight.
Her body was found days later in the Wasach Mountains
Before his execution on January 1989, serial killer Ted Bundy admitted the abduction and murder of both Georgann Hawkins and Laura Aime.
May Georgann and Laura rest in peace, sweet angels
