Ted Bundy's Girlfriend Details Narrowly Avoiding Being His Next Victim

After she returned to the raft, Bundy told her it was "no big deal" and it had been a joke, but the pair would argue about what had happened the rest of the way home, she said.

Sometime later, she would discover that Bundy — who regularly stole items to be able to live a more lavish lifestyle than he could afford — had taken a new television, new stereo, and new typewriter to furnish his apartment.

After seeing the items, Kloepfer blurted out, "You're nothing but a thief."

Bundy grabbed her arm and told her, "If you ever tell anyone about this, I'll break your f---ing neck," she wrote in the book.

But while the incident had frightened her, later that night he came to her apartment crying and told her he didn't know why he had stolen the items.

She would also recount an incident when Bundy hit her during an interview with Randy Hergesheimer of the King County Police.

"I was embarrassed but I told Hergesheimer about the only time Ted had hit me," she wrote. "It was early in our relationship and I was drunk. I couldn't remember what we were arguing about but I kept telling Ted to ‘go ahead and hit me. Go ahead!' Finally he slapped me."
