  1. Love the show! You should look into the murder of High School Student Kirsten Costas. “On June 23, 1984, Costas was lured with a phony invitation to a dinner for the Bob-o-Links, a sorority-like group at school.”

    Can’t wait for the next season. Thanks for all the hard work Grace.

  4. How about covering Karla Homolka, the woman who helped her husband rape and murder women? Or Sylvia Likens in Indianapolis? That story was incredible and I believe made into a show on Investigation Discovery.

  6. Hey Grace long time fan of this show. Would like to see you do a show on the little known brunckow cabin…. It has 23 CONFIMED deaths that took place at the site most of them were murders. It’s just outside of Tombstone AZ. So you could wrap that into it if you don’t find enough substance on just the cabin. Thanks.

  7. I became a member on Friday, I had been waiting until I got my tax return. This has easily become my favorite member show!! Grace I liked how you went through Ted’s life story, I was also surprised when you didn’t talk about how he worked at Seattle’s Suicide Hotline Crisis Center. I just think it says a lot about him; he can pretend to care about another human living and he may have found victims through it. Like finding emotionally vulnerable women and manipulating them over the phone. Although he was working around other people, who might have noticed, just a thought. Loved the show!

  8. Watched TYT on cable then YOU tube. Couple of months ago, TYT led to Pop Trigger and that led to an evening of binge watching Murder With Friends. I ususually do not watch the reality type things. But, I like the down to earth way. you approach the subjects. My suggestions or ideas come from out of Milwaukee. Terry Anderson. He was the guy killed with Jeffery Dahmer, he killed his wife but went through elaborate scheme of making it look like a gang of black kids did it. Murder was in parkinglot. Wife stabbed in face and etc, he was stabbed like leg or something and under car. But he had a kids knit hat. And the knife. Found out he had seen kids walking and one had knit hat on. He said he liked it and said he would pay like 20 bucks for it. So kid sold him hat. He left strands of the kids hair in the hat. He bought the knife from an Army Navy Store. Also,you need check out Bambi Murder. Lawrencia Bembenek. She worked as model, worked at Playboy Club before becoming Milwaukee cop. Her cop husbands firft wife is murdered, Bambi s found guilty but wait she escapes from prison.Gets to Canadaa and gets second trial. There’s been movie I think Lifetime about her. I lived in Milwaukee during that time. Weird Dahmer fact, the night he was arrested he tried to kill himself by eating and choking himself on his underwear.How doI know. I am a nurse. In Milwaukee. Many nurses are either from a family’s8 or married to cops. Not true of me, but I worked with a nurse about12 hours afterr Dahmer tried eating his shorts, and her husbund was one of them stopp

    1. one last suggestion on murder topics have you thought of covering the family killed in Kansas that was subject of book by Truman Capote called In Cold Blood. Thank you for making a really intelligent show that is able to discuss this subject without sensationalizing it. Or forgetting the victims.

  11. Where did he get the money to support his horrible crimes? Furthermore, when we don’t hitch-hike or pick up hitch-hikers, Ted Bundy achieves immortality, and accomplishes his true objective: making us normal people more like him. Frightened, cruel, uncaring, cold.

  13. Also, what bothers me the most about Ted Bundy, is that I know he’s a monster, but when I look at photos of him, I can’t help but think that he’s hot. It’s super f-ed up. I don’t support the death penalty, but I’m sure glad that he’s gone.

  14. I’m a long time viewer, but new member, so I’m currently just binging the members-only content….love! Anyways, I thought I’d just write a suggestion here for the next season (I submitted this suggestion before on youtube, so you’re probably sick of me by now but oh well)

    I’d LOVE for you to cover the Hinterkaifeck murder, because it is really creepy and eerie (and also an international story, so!). A whole family and a maid were killed on their farm on the outskirts of a German village between WWI and WWII. They never figured out who the murderer was. Creepy and f-ed up themes are:
    – Incest between the patriarch of the family and his adult daughter, resulting in a baby.
    – The murderer probably lived in the attic of the house for weeks before the murder, and remained on the farm for days after.
    – a few days before the murder the father discovered foot steps in the snow leading from the woods to the house, but not away again
    – one of the murder suspects was the daughter’s dead husband, who was reportedly killed during WWI, but his body was never found
    – the family was buried without their heads. The police actually lost the head during WWII, so the poor family is still lying in their graves headless
    – the German police school made it a practical case study for its students out of this, and they allegedly figured out who the murderer most likely was, but won’t tell the public because relatives of the suspect are still alive and they didn’t wanna put the stigma on them…understandable, but oh, SO frustrating).

    1. excellent suggestion. i’ve seen the buzzfeed unsolved ep on Hinterkaifeck but i’d certainly like more coverage on it. i’d also love an ep on dyatlov pass, especially with a big budget movie about it coming out soon.

  16. This episode has me split. A lot of MWF episodes are presented as though people don’t know about the person/murders/etc but this one was presented like everyone watching did. I actually know very little about Bundy and don’t feel like I learned a whole lot. A little more background and timeline would have been greatly appreciated. However as I complain… There was a lot more in depth look at the man himself which I did appreciate

  17. Yeah, I always thought it was funny to hear his victims looked like his girlfriend when it was much more likely his girlfriend looked like his victims.

  18. I think the thing that makes Buddy stand out is the fact that his crimes were so audacious. Approaching victims in broad daylight in busy public places has to be pretty rare, even for a serial killer. Not to mention the necrophilia, the escapes and the break ins.

    Also due to Bundy being so smart, he had developed one of the best normal masks of any killer out there. But it’s still a mask. People in masks give us all the creeps, so there is something sinister about him even at his best.

  19. interesting episode. watched “the deliberate stranger” starring mark harmon years ago. .chilling depiction . it was bundy’s very humanness that makes him so frightening.. strangers or the bogeyman are supposed to look scary or abnormal, but he didn’t. that’s why he scares us so much.

  20. If anyone deserved the death sentence, it’s Ted Bundy. However, reading that description of his death…

    The killers that scare us the most are the ones that lead normal lives and are just like us, but with a cold and dark side to them that allows them to kill without remorse, and even take pleasure in it or have “reasons” to justify it to themselves. And the killing is not a crime of passion, but planned out. Those are evil men (and women).

    Then the justice system does the same thing, and the justice system is us. We live our normal lives, but in our name, men are strapped to chairs and fried, or pumped full of poison. There is no regret, and sometimes even a righteous pleasure. He got what he deserved, because he was evil. And what does that make us?

  22. Have a look at doing a Dellen Millard episode next season. Canadian murderer used kijiji to lure and murder a guy and then incinerated him, just to steal his truck….At trial they find out he had a second victim…later at trial they find out he probably killed his dad… by the time you start next season maybe something new will develop.

  23. funny, im from Germany, but hitchhiked in KY some years ago. Was quite ok. Small town and the guy was a Heavy Metal fan :D Thought he cant be a bad person XD

  24. I hope that with season 3 we get some MWF T-shirts or swag to buy! Love from Ireland <3

  25. re. the girlfriend, could it not be that he’s choosing victims who look like his girlfriend, but rather that his girlfriend happened to be of the type he liked? I’d think that’s much more plausible.

  26. Wow!!!!! The idea of connecting the serial killing Bundy to a drug addict is a FASCINATING and ACCURATE concept!!!!! Love this show and LOVE the analysis!!!

  27. My mom was told all her life by detectives that Ted bundy murdered her mom when she was adopted at 5 years old. Only 5 years ago she discovered that her mom just died from a drug overdose and someone dumped her body on the side of the road. It was just assumed at the time it was Bundy, infact her name is still listed as one of his victims. You can only imagine how much that effected her.

  29. Also Jack! Feel better soon! Get one of those white masks I brought over from Japan, they help when the weather’s dry and your throat/chest needs relief. ?

  31. DAYAM! Know what? I need other black voices on this but I think those of us in the black community during the 1970s and ‘80s didn’t really know the extent of his crimes, though we did know his name.

    There was also a kind of news block due to no internet and so much going on with Vietnam, the bicentennial in ‘76, Star Wars in ‘77 and so on. There was too much to prioritize with no recording equipment in the hands of most people then.

    This definitely needs more treatment. Plus I need Mick Priestley to autograph my copy of his book! And I need to take his Ripper tour next time. My Trip Advisor review on his colleague, Amy’s Ripper tour is online, she was superb.?

    Come back soon Grace with your brother, he is a RIOT❣️??
