Ted Bundy
fell head over heels for a classmate named Diane Edwards (also known as
Stephanie Brooks) whom he met at the University of Washington. The two
entered a brief relationship and she ultimately broke his heart. He
later managed to rekindle his romance with Diane by swooning her with
his new-found charisma and sophistication, and the pair became secretly
engaged in 1973. It was also at this time that Ted was dating another
woman, but neither of them knew of each other’s existence. In January
1974, however, Ted abruptly broke off all contact with Diane. All her
letters and phone calls to him went unreturned. When she was finally
able to get ahold of him over the phone a month later, she asked why he
had so suddenly cut off contact without explanation. In a calm tone, Ted
responded, ‘’Diane, I have no idea what you mean’’ and hung up.
Ted would later explain that he just wanted to prove to himself that he
could marry her, although Diane stated she believed he deliberately
planned the rejection in advance to retaliate for dumping him years ago.
His
killing spree commenced only one month later, and his each and every
one of his victims bore a striking resemblance to his former lover–all
were tall, college-aged, and attractive, with dark hair parted down in
the middle, just like Diane. Ted would later recall of the
relationship, ‘’It was at once sublime and overpowering. The first
touch of hands, the first kiss, the first night, together…for the next
six years, S. and I would meet under the most tentative of
circumstances.’’
