letter recovered from the playground of a technical school in Salt Lake City on Nov. 7, 1974, the day before DaRonch and Kent incidents

“...Help Me...Sometimes I am so sick...Please help me before I do it again...”

The following archived news snippet truly intrigued me when I first came across it a few years ago!

Could it possibly be linked to the Bundy case? In truth, I really don't know, but if I was hard pushed to give an honest answer my instincts say no.

Chilling to think of two Bundy’s creeping around Salt Lake City though! This certainly gives one food for thought.

What do you think?

In the files of the Salt Lake City Police is a note scrawled in nearly illegible childlike handwriting on a ruled, yellow sheet. The letter was recovered from the playground of a technical school in Salt Lake City on Nov. 7 1974, a full day before the aggravated kidnapping attempt of Carol DaRonch and later the Debra Kent abduction and murder from her Bountiful school car park.

"Help me," the note began.

"Sometimes I am so sick."

In regressed, severely disturbed form the writer explained how he was looking for a young woman, he had noticed earlier in the day because he wanted to cut off her "love bumps" with a "rusty knife"

The form and content of the unsigned note was undeniably schizophrenic, like the urgent pleas of the Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo, to be caught. The writer confided that he loved to watch his victims "squirm and jerk and twitch," a critical detail confirming that the note was not a hoax because no one but the most skilled coroners and homicide investigators knew that the young woman (Melissa Smith) who had been abducted from the Salt Lake City area only a week before, a case linked to Bundy through pubic hair in his car, died in precisely that manner.

“Please help me before I do it again,"

it said...

Ted stares at me while I look at him through the camera - Jerry Gay

Inside Ted Bundy we see a part of our self- Jerry Gay

Bundy family home Gay visited in early 80’s

“During the early 80′s I visited with Ted’s parents in their family home in Tacoma, Washington to get a feel for how Ted might have grown up. In my final analysis, I found no need to glorify or vilify Ted Bundy or his family for the events during his lifetime. In the end, each person’s life is portrayed just the way The Creator intended and each of us answers our roll call not a moment too soon or too late.

Now, I see we must take the steps to forgive Ted Bundy for his brutal behaviors and times of personal rage. By doing so, we put faith and trust into motion that we will be forgiven our shortcomings at the end of our life.”

To Gay, Ted was not the most intriguing member of the Bundy family. Gay took some rather nice photos of Bundy down to his parent’s home in Tacoma. He introduced himself to Bundy’s stepfather—the only father figure Bundy had known- and they talked at the kitchen table.

Gay recalls that all of a sudden the front door flew open and Bundy’s mother started spewing obscenities at him. Gay tried to explain that her husband had invited him in. Gay turned and glimpsed Bundy’s stepfather fleeing down the hall.

“That little voice came to me again, explaining why Ted might have had a problem relating to women ...I‘m not judging--just analyzing ...”

“...When the photo session ended , Mr Bundy and I sat on the the steps of the library in the afternoon sun . I bought us each a soft drink . Small talk filled the short 10 minute break . Then he walked back to his cell . That was the last I was to see of Ted Bundy . He escaped from the Aspen jail two weeks later...”

The following passage entitled “Basic Humanity 101” was written by Jerry Gay and was to accompany his exhibition of black and white portraits taken of Bundy and his family and home.

Basic Humanity 101- Finding Forgiveness In The Face Of Darkness

To understand the purpose of our Death, we must first understand the purpose of our Life.

Finding forgiveness in the Face of Darkness.

We are prisoners of our thoughts.

How we think and what we believe are learned at home.

To find forgiveness, we must go inside our heart, and soul.

It is here we see we are all Guilty of something.

True forgiveness is never forgetting to forgive.

True forgiveness is not a measurable commodity.

I once hired a lawyer to represent me during a divorce. This lawyer made it seem like she was going to represent my interests. But when I told her that my ex was letting man rape my 13 year old son, she only used the information to secure assets into trust.

I ended up firing her. When I then tried to protect my kids, I was hacked, stalked and ASSAULTED.

I was poisoned so many times that now all of my organs are damaged, testicles atrophied and the shape of my face has changed.

I ended up filing a complaint with the State Bar of California. Guess what they did? NOTHING!

It’s not like they couldn’t see the photo of what happened to my face.
