[gentle music] 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 terrorized 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 podcasts to listen to part two. You can also find a link to the show in the episode's description that will take you there.
