And Finally
Debbie Harry escaped Ted Bundy
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 10 December 2010
Debbie Harry has said that she came close to being one of the victims of 70s serial killer Ted Bundy.
The singer said in a recent interview: “It was in the early 70s and I was trying to get across town at two or three o’clock in the morning. This little car kept coming around and offering me a ride. I kept saying no but finally I took the ride because I couldn’t get a cab”.
She continued: “I got in the car and the windows were rolled up, except for a tiny crack. This driver had an incredibly bad smell to him. I looked down and there were no door handles. The inside of the car was stripped. The hairs on the back of my neck just stood up. I wiggled my arm out of the window and pulled the door handle from the outside. I don’t know how I did it, but I got out. He tried to stop me by spinning the car but it sort of helped me fling myself out. Afterwards I saw him on the news. Ted Bundy”.
Bundy killed 30 women before being arrested. He was executed by electric chair in 1989.
