No, the eyes are not "normal" to me. But not like the later years for sure! If you find one of those photo's you can see the "transformation" to a full fledged maniac!! I suppose as years went on and he was "perfecting his art" w/ his eyes reflecting that. Strange phenomenon, but eyes are windows of the soul.

Well then, you might want to go into law enforcement or at maybe as an optometrist where you have a lot of access to eyes so you can call local PD's.

I still believe once you know something about someone, you have a confirmation bias.

We're on the same page there. I face read, the eyes don't lie, his voice is creepy, its screams predator.

But then I have the bias spoken of in the previous post; even without it though, I'd deem him creepy.

My brother (who pumped the gas) fiercely said to me do NOT go. You CAN'T go. He seemed like a nice personable guy to me, smiling and charming and convincing, but my older bro was practically threatening me, so I didn't go.

That guy looked an awful lot like Bundy, and I fit his victim profile. 15 - 17, long straight hair parted in the middle. I often wonder if it was him.

The vast majority of Bundy's known victims were in their 20s (and definitely not in the 15-17 age range).

According to wiki one was 12 and a few were 15, 16, 17. I'm taller and as a teen was always told I look a little older. Probably just a big coincidence.

After someone posted those tapes I tried to remember the guy's voice, but I have absolutely no recollection of it.

It sets apart the ones who know how to cope, how to present as normal.

Pffft. Hell had nothing to do with it - he tried to buy time by acknowledging murders and exchanginginformation on where the remains of some of the missing could be located for more time before his sentence was carried out.

13 of Bundys 25 identified victims (20 murdered, 5 survived) were in their twenties (hardly the 'vast majority') and 12 in their teens - including two aged 12, one aged 15, one aged 16, and three aged 17.

Oh I see, you thought I was saying all his vics were 15 - 17. That's actually my age range when it happened. I don't remember the exact summer.

Is it just me or does he have a resemblance to a young George W. Bush? (Completely non political post, no offense intended at all.)

Two of them were 12, as a matter of fact -- Kimberly Leach and Lynette Culver.

To me his voice always sounded stuffy and pretentious. He was always trying to sound like a big shot. And, yes, there is a resemblance to "W" now you mention it. I never noticed that before!
