Crime Reporter Reminds Everyone Not To Forget Ted Bundy's Victims With Powerful Thread

Netflix subscribers can't stop talking about the engrossing four-part documentary series, Conversations with A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes.

The riveting series incorporates archival footage and statements made from Bundy while he was on death row. The footage was released 30 years to the day of the notorious serial killer's execution by electric chair in the Florida State prison.

Reaction to the series was immediate, with lovers of the true crime genre both mesmerized and terrified by the detailed accounts of the gruesome murders committed by Bundy.

While informative and entertaining, the Netflix series did produce an unintended effect. Renewed interest in the killer prompted many to become fixated on his good looks instead of his evil deeds.

Three decades later, it seems Bundy still charms impressionable people from beyond the grave.

Investigative journalist Billy Jensen tweeted an important message reminding everyone not to glorify the murderer, but to remember his victims, whose lives were cut way too short.

On Sunday, Jensen commented on the Netflix docuseries and Zac Effron's turn as Bundy in the film, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile with a very compelling Twitter thread.

"As we all binge The Bundy Tapes on @Netflix and share the trailer for the Zac Efron movie, please remember the victims."
"These women all had hopes and dreams. They should all have movies made about them. I always try to remember what these monsters took away."


Jensen honored each of Bundy's victims – many of whom were young female students (some as young as 12-years-old) – with a photo and a description of their hopes and aspirations for the future that were never realized.





















Many sympathetic people expressed their appreciation of Jensen for memorializing the young victims.












On Monday, Netflix, disturbed by the infatuation over the killer who claimed an estimated 30 lives, also took to Twitter and reminded viewers:

"I've seen a lot of talk about Ted Bundy's alleged hotness and would like to gently remind everyone that there are literally THOUSANDS of hot men on the service — almost all of whom are not convicted serial murderers."
