Hello,

About a week ago, I posted a couple of LONG articles that put forth the
theory that Ted Bundy, STILL the single most FAMOUS serial killer in amerikkkan
history, committed his first murder at the age of 14, by climbing into a house
and kidnapping an 8 year old girl named Ann Marie Burr, in the middle of the
night, in 1961. Ted lived in the same city, used to live in the same
neighborhood as the girl, and there is circumstantial reason to think that Ted
SAW and interacted with this girl, prior to her being murdered. Her body was
NEVER found, which means that IF 14 year old Ted did kidnap and kill Ann, he
demonstrated a TREMENDOUS amount of tactical skill and cunning, for ANY killer
to have, but especially for a 14 year old CHILD to have.

In the below update we have Ted's Mommy, STILL very much alive, declaring
that she does not think Ted committing this 1961 murder. Of course her opinion
is NOT worth very much, since she is STILL bound to be biased against any type
of information that portrays her womb excretion in an unfavorable light. She
certainly was NOT willing or eager to accept the claims that police made about
Ted being a serial killer, immediately after his arrest. Still, it's
interesting to get her comments. At least she now ADMITS that Ted WAS a serial
killer, even though she most likely refuses to admit to what a HUGE role she,
as his maternal slaveowner, likely played in formulating and creating his True
Reality HOMICIDAL rage towards gals.

Declares Mommy Louise: "I resent the fact that everybody in Tacoma thinks
just because he lived in Tacoma he did that one too, way back when he was 14.
I'm sure he didn't." You can't be sure of ANYTHING, slaveowner. And your tone
and attitude reveal to me that you are far more interested in your OWN image,
in not having people say: "Wow, she must have been a really bad mother to have
her son start hos serial killing career at age 14", than you are interested in
uncovering the TRUTH about your son, about YOURSELF, and about the ROLE that
you played in turning this innocent child into a justifiably enraged serial
killer.

Mommy Louise continues to blatantly REJECT her own guilt, trying to convince
herself and her society that she was a "good mother" and whatever went "wrong"
with child-slave Ted didn't occur until AFTER she had left the Sacred Family
Unit, as she makes comments like: "When he lived under my roof, Ted was still
an average kid. We were such a close family. He was living at home. All these
other things happened when he was away." Absolute bullsh*t! Ted's rage and hate
were so DEEP and PROFOUND, the reasons for it MUST date back to personal
experiences of an abusive/traumatic nature that he endured, well BEFORE
reaching even 14 years of age.

Take care, JOE

edition of The Tacoma News Tribune newspaper:

Bundy couldn't be guilty, his mom insists

She cites reasons her son didn't have chance to kill Ann Burr

In a rare interview, serial killer Ted Bundy's mother defended her son against
accusations he kidnapped and killed Ann Marie Burr in 1961.

"I resent the fact that everybody in Tacoma thinks just because he lived in
Tacoma he did that one too, way back when he was 14," Louise Bundy said last
week. "I'm sure he didn't."

Since Ted Bundy became known as one of the world's most infamous serial
murderers, armchair and professional detectives have debated his possible
involvement in Burr's disappearance.

Some, including Tony Zatkovich, one of the original Tacoma police detectives on
the case, believe Bundy could not be Burr's killer. Others have reached the
opposite conclusion.

With a dearth of real clues, the mystery seems likely to live on.

Bundy was executed in Florida in 1989 after being convicted of killing two
Florida State University sorority members and a 12-year-old girl.

Before the execution, he confessed to killing at least 35 women in Washington,
Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Florida. Some experts believed he killed more than
100 women.

But he consistently denied any involvement with Burr's disappearance.

One who doesn't believe the denial is Bob Keppel, a retired investigator for
the Washington state attorney general's office and a former King County
sheriff's detective who interviewed Bundy.

He suggests Bundy wouldn't want to confess to killing a child and didn't want
to confess to a crime that hit too close to his family.

Louise Bundy counters that her son did confess to killing 12-year-old Kimberly
Leach in Florida, and thus had no reason not to confess to killing another
child.

The confessions he did make have been a "terrible tragedy" for the family that
loved and believed in him, Louise Bundy said.

But no matter how difficult it is to accept the confessions, Bundy's mother
said she cannot accept that her son started his killing spree while he lived
under her roof.

"We were such a close family," she said. "He was living at home. All these
other things happened when he was away."

Over the years, many have come to consider Bundy as the most likely suspect in
Burr's disappearance.

His mother's brother lived in the same general neighborhood as the Burrs, and
that could have put Bundy at least near the scene of the crime.

But his mother said her brother and his family weren't even in Tacoma that
summer. They were in Europe.

"My husband and I went over to check on their beach place for them," Louise
Bundy said. "We stayed there several times."

With his uncle out of town, Ted Bundy would have had no reason to venture to
the Burr neighborhood, Louise Bundy said.

She also said the young Ted was too slight to have abducted an 8-year-old girl.

"He had just finished eighth grade, and he hadn't been able to get on the Hunt
Junior High School basketball team because he was a lightweight," Louise Bundy
said.

He also couldn't have slipped out of his home unnoticed, she contends.

"I was a light sleeper," said Louise Bundy, who was six months pregnant in
August 1961. "There's no way he'd have gotten out of this house without us
knowing it. I was up and about a lot."

Louise Bundy said Ted's sister was just a year older than Burr and that she and
Ted "were great buddies."

"He didn't have anything against little girls," Louise Bundy said.

"I feel so sorry for the Burr family because they've sort of latched onto this
(theory that Bundy killed their daughter)," Louise Bundy said. "But he just
couldn't have done it."

Community bids farewell to girl missing for 38 years

Memorial Mass honors memory of Ann Burr

Cheryl Reid; The News Tribune

09/19/99

Ann Marie Burr never went to her high school prom. She never graduated from
college, never married, never had a child or a career.

But no one can deny that she made an impact on her world.

More than 200 people - friends, family and complete strangers who came to show
their support - gathered at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Tacoma on Saturday
to celebrate Ann's memory and to say goodbye to the precocious 8-year-old girl
who vanished into the night 38 years ago.

"She'll always be present with us now, won't she," Father Seamus Laverty said
to her family after dedicating a planter and evergreen tree in Ann's memory.

Ann's parents, Donald and Beverly Burr, said they were happy to see so many
people come to remember their daughter.

"We had a little girl that all these people came out to celebrate," Donald Burr
said, adding that the service was for "not only our little girl, but for all
the young children."

Ann Burr disappeared from her home in the 3000 block of North 14th Street early
in the morning of Aug. 31, 1961. Despite what was likely the most extensive
search in Tacoma history, no trace was ever found.

In the years since, many people have come to believe that serial killer Ted
Bundy, then a 14-year-old boy living near the Narrows Bridge, kidnapped and
killed Ann.

But Saturday, Bundy received only a veiled mention at the memorial Mass.

"I do not believe it was the one who was so much written about," said retired
Tacoma detective Tony Zatkovich, reiterating his belief that Bundy, who was
executed in Florida 10 years ago, didn't do it.

Zatkovich, speaking at the service, described the exhaustive efforts the
police, the military and volunteers put into the case. "But as luck would have
it, the one who was responsible got away with it," Zatkovich said. "But whoever
it was won't get away with it forever."

The detective, who has a suspect in mind, seemed to include a plea for the
killer to come forward.

"I believe the person responsible is still alive and hope someday the solution,
the ending, will come one way or another," Zatkovich said. "The Burr family has
suffered enough."

Outside the church and at a reception afterward, it turned into a neighborhood
reunion.

Ann's playmates, some with hints of silver and gray starting to show in their
hair, came to remember the friend they loved to play with and the frightening
crime that stole a piece of their innocence.

Their parents came, too, once again offering support to Ann's mother and father
and once again trying to imagine their anguish.

The neighborhood, they said, was chock full of children. They counted 22 in
Ann's square block.

"It was hard on all of us little kids," said Chris Miller, who played with Ann
the day before she disappeared. "We were terrified whoever did it would come to
get us next."

Miller and others described a neighborhood that changed forever that day. "It
was one of those safe neighborhoods where you would just ramble from house to
house," Miller said.

But once Ann disappeared, parents kept a closer eye on the children. And the
children kept a more distrustful eye on the world around them.

Ann's parents, Donald and Beverly Burr, worked hard to make sure their other
children - Julie, now 45; Greg, now 43; Mary, now 41; and Laura, now 37 -
didn't suffer from their anxiety and worry.

During the Mass, Julie Burr read a letter from the children to their parents,
whom they described as their "heroes."

"After Ann was taken, our lives changed in so many ways. But because of your
strength, our lives also remained the same in so many other ways," Julie Burr
said. "Nightly games of neighborhood kick-the-can. Daily our yard filled with
our playmates, camping trips, drives to national parks. You probably wanted to
crawl into bed and bury your head as each day and year passed with no answer.
But instead, you gathered strength and provided us with a wonderful childhood."

Ann's aunt, Bonnie Taschler Burr, read a letter Ann's first-grade teacher, Adah
Daugherty, wrote on Oct. 1, 1961.

Daugherty described a bright, sociable child with "an aptitude for illustration
and design which I've never experienced in a first-grader."

The letter described Ann as "an example of the perfect student."

A display of Ann's drawings and artwork proved the teacher's words to be more
than just flattery. The pictures seem drawn by someone much older than 8.

In the center of the display was a heart with Ann's little hand prints in red
paint and a typed poem that seems heartbreakingly appropriate:

"These little hands will never grow,

they will always stay just so;

When I am big and far away,

My little hands with you will stay."

After all the publicity and all the searching and hoping and waiting,
Saturday's service finally brought some of the peace the Burrs have sought for
so long, they said.

"The service was so lovely," Beverly Burr said. "I just felt so close to Ann."

Joe doesn't commit crime, because he's to scared to do it himself! He just
gets fame off the back of all the serial killers that do!
