  Acknowledgments

  THERE IS A SAYING THAT JOURNALISM IS THE FIRST rough draft of history. This book would not have been possible without the work of reporters who covered the disappearance of Ann Marie Burr and the crimes of Ted Bundy over the last 50 years. I especially want to acknowledge the reporting of: Chuck Doud, Russ Carmack, Cheryl Reid, Stacey Mulick, Don Hannula, Pat Winkler, Jack Pyle, Lila Fujimoto, Mark Higgins, Dick Monaghan, Greg Heberlein, and Gary Larson of the Tacoma News Tribune; Eleanor Bell, Ken Fleming, Herman Hunt, Stan Reed, Bill Prochnau, Arthur C. Gorlick, Robert M. Cour, Michael A. Barber, Gordy Holt, and Steve Miletich of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer; Don Duncan, Eric Sorensen, Arthur Santana, and Richard W. Larsen of the Seattle Times. Before them, these reporters covered the Tacoma Police Department, the vigilante years of the 1940s and early 1950s, and the careers of Ted Strand and Tony Zatkovich: Jim Faber, Ed Garrison, Larry Shanklin, Paul O. Anderson, Lenny Anderson, and Lee Irwin of the Tacoma News Tribune; Burt McMurtrie, of the Tacoma News Tribuneand the Tacoma Times; Sam Angeloff , Robert N. Ward, Murray Morgan, Stub Nelson, Herman Hunt and William Schulze of the Seattle Post Intelligencer; Art Burgess of the Seattle Times; and Dick Yost, George A. Miller, Carey Wiler, and C.R. Maybin of the Tacoma Times. I’m grateful to the News Tribune and the Seattle Times for the opportunity to use two of the most important and iconic photographs associated with this story: images of the two women at the heart of it, Beverly Burr and Louise Bundy. Thank you to Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth for permission to quote from their interviews with Ted Bundy, published as Conversations with a Killer — The Death Row Interviews.
