1. Summary
The text, “Ted_Bundy part 2” by Miles Mathis, presents a conspiracy theory arguing that the entire Ted Bundy story was a manufactured hoax orchestrated by the CIA. Mathis posits that this was a psychological operation intended to demonize attractive men, create division between the sexes, and make the populace easier to control. He suggests Ted Bundy was not a random killer but an attractive son of the elite, likely related to CIA founders William Bundy and McGeorge Bundy of the powerful Boston Brahmin families.
The author systematically deconstructs the official narrative by highlighting what he views as logical fallacies and scripted events. He critiques the 2019 Sundance film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, noting the Jewish background of its creators as significant. He dismisses Bundy’s Utah bench trial and his two escapes from Pitkin County Jail in Aspen, CO as completely implausible, linking Aspen to other alleged hoaxes involving figures like Hunter S. Thompson. The arrest in Granger with a Volkswagen beetle filled with incriminating tools is also described as laughably staged.
A major focus is the attack at the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University in Tallahassee, which Mathis presents as a centerpiece of the fabrication. He points to supposed clues, such as Bundy’s arrival on January 8 (1/8, which he connects to “Chai”) and alleges the victims (Lisa Levy, Margaret Bowman) and survivor (Kathy Kleiner) were Jewish and connected to powerful families. He analyzes a photo of Bowman for a clue involving a Lombard’s tennis racket cover and claims photos of Kleiner were doctored. The testimony of a key witness, Nita Neary, is also discredited as illogical.
Mathis contends that key figures who documented the case were part of the operation. This includes Ann Rule, author of The Stranger Beside Me, whom he claims was an intelligence asset and related to the Bundy family, and journalists Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth, who interviewed Bundy and are labeled as “spooks” with alleged ties to events like the JFK assassination. A significant part of the argument rests on tracing the genealogies of nearly everyone involved—including victims with surnames like Campbell, Sparks, Curtis, and Chandler—back to the same elite peerage families, suggesting they were all related and part of the cast.
The summary concludes with a 2022 addendum where Mathis claims Bundy’s wife, Carole Ann Boone, was also a relative and part of the hoax, citing her lineage back to Daniel Boone and a relationship to Johnny Carson. He dismisses photos of them in prison as fake paste-ups.
