I well remember the impact Ted Bundy had over our area when I was a kid. My family frequented Lake Sammamish State Park, where he nabbed several of his victims. We were quite likely there at the very same time on at least a few occasions. I was about junior high school age when he finally left this area.

I remember what a huge story his murders were, all of the news stories, police warnings, notifications at school, and all of that. I have to wonder if that was entirely a local thing, especially in light of the fact that I had never even heard of this guy in Oregon.
