Katie Ring

Hi, everyone.

I'm Katie Ring, self-defense instructor, advocate for victims, and host of the new True Crime podcast, America's Most Infamous Crimes.

Each week, I'm diving into one of the most notorious crimes in American history, or one that's gripping the country right now, uncovering not just what happened, but how it changed the way we live, investigate, and seek justice.

From serial killers like Ted Bundy, who terrorized entire communities, to

to high-profile kidnappings like the Elizabeth Smart case, to shocking investigations like the Idaho College murders.

Every case unfolds across multiple episodes, released Tuesday through Thursday, taking you from the first moment something felt wrong all the way to the truth, if it was ever fully uncovered.

Today, I'm sharing an episode about one of the most infamous serial killers in American history, Ted Bundy.

What you're about to hear is part one, covering events that first drew attention to the case

and early warning signs investigators initially missed.

If you like what you hear, follow America's Most Infamous Crimes right now wherever you listen to podcasts to listen to part two.

You can also find a link to the show in the episode's description that will take you there.

Some killers hide in the shadows.

Ted Bundy hid in plain sight.

He was educated, clean-cut, charismatic, and even considered attractive by some.

The fascination surrounding him isn't just about the crimes he committed, but the unsettling realization that evil people don't always look like monsters.

They can look like your neighbor, your coworker, your classmate, or even your partner.

Every crime tells a story about the people involved, the system that tried to stop it, and the nation that couldn't look away.

Some cases are so shocking, so deeply woven into who we are, that decades later, we're still asking, how did this happen?

I'm Katie Ring, and this is America's Most Infamous Crimes.

Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I'll take you deep into the cases that have a lasting imprint on society and still haunt us today.
