Carol Ann Boone: Ted Bundy’s Sweetheart
No serial killer seems to have captured the American imagination more than Ted Bundy. The law student and sexual predator’s dashing good looks, charm, and well-spoken ways made him a natural celebrity. They also won over one woman who married Bundy and allegedly bore his child, Carol Ann Boone.
It’s not known whether Bundy actually loved Boone or simply used her in an attempt to avoid prosecution. Yet he did marry the woman, who met him in court when he was on trial for the kidnapping, rape, and murder of a 12-year-old girl.
The Woman from Washington State
Even though she married one of the most famous serial killers in history and bore his child, not that much is known about Carol Ann Boone or her background. Press and other sources cannot even agree on the proper spelling or her first name, Carol or Carole.
What is known is that Boone was from the state of Washington, just like Bundy, and she had apparently known Bundy before he launched his cross-country killing spree. Boone lived in Olympia, Wash. and worked at the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) at the same time as Bundy. She had been married before and had a teenaged child from that marriage. Other than that, nothing is known about Boone or her background.
Proposal and Marriage in the Court Room
Even though Carol Ann Boone is often listed as Ted Bundy’s wife, it is unclear whether she was legally married to the man. It is also unknown if she actually gave birth to his daughter or not, even though it is widely believed she did.
What is known is this: a woman named Carol Ann Boone testified for Ted Bundy during two trials in Florida in 1980. Bundy was on trial for the murder of two members of the Chi Omega Sorority at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Kimberly Diane Leach from a junior high school in Lake City, Fla.
Interestingly enough, Bundy was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list for two prison breaks in Colorado when he committed the murders. Bundy had broken out of the Pitkin County Jail in Aspen, Colo. in June 1977 and wandered around the wilderness for six days before he was recaptured. Six months later, Bundy broke out of the Garfield County Jail in Glenwood Springs, Colo. and fled to Florida.
Marriage to a Monster
The strangest event surrounding Boone occurred during Bundy’s second Florida murder trial for the killing of Kimberly Leach. Boone got up to testify for Bundy during the death penalty phase of the trial. To everybody’s surprise, Bundy got up and proposed to Boone, who accepted. Bundy then pronounced the two married.
The former law student was apparently taking advantage of an old Florida state law that allowed persons who declared marriage in front of a judge to be legally married. Since there was no court ruling on this and no marriage certificate, it is unclear if this was a legal marriage or not.
The reason for Bundy’s marriage is unclear. One possible reason for it is that Bundy, who was well read in the law and a master manipulator, was trying to take advantage of legal prohibitions against wives testifying against husbands. If that is true, Boone might have known something about Bundy’s criminal activities that he did not want her to disclose.
What is known is that Boone took advantage of the marriage to visit Bundy at death row at Raiford Prison where he was being held. At the time, Bundy was a major national celebrity who was attracting a lot of media attention. He may have also become a father.
The Mother of Ted Bundy’s Child
In October 1982, Carol Ann Boone gave birth to a daughter and claimed that Ted Bundy was the father. This claim is highly doubtful because conjugal visits (sex with prisoners) were not allowed on Florida’s death row. Bundy was never left alone with visitors, so it is not
