In a recent interview, 70’s rocker girl Debbie Harry tells and interesting story. She claims that in the early 70’s, she was almost killed by Ted Bundy.

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.

I got in the car and the windows were are 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.

It’s certainly possible. Bundy claimed in interviews to have made his first attempt to kidnap a woman in 1969.

On the other hand, it might be a desperate cry for some attention by a former celebrity. I’m not sure there’s any way to know.
