OLYMPIA, Wash. Aug. 29 (UPI)—An employe of Gov. Daniel J. Evans's re‐election committee said today that he posed as a college student during last year's election campaign to travel with the Governor's Democratic opponent and secretly report on his campaign activities.

Theodore Bundy, now a special assistant to Washington's Republican chairman, Ross Davis, said in an interview that his connection with the Evans campaign was kept secret during the campaign while he traveled with the Democratic candidate, Albert D. Rosellini.

Mr. Bundy said he started early in the campaign as an unsalaried volunteer and was later given a nominal salary for expenses by the Evans organization. His role was to follow Mr. Rosellini on the campaign trail, keep track of the candidate's schedule and remarks and occasionally question Mr. Rosellini directly on issues.

To accomplish his mission, Mr. Bundy posed as a college student working for his master's degree in political science by writing a paper on the governorship race. With a tape recorder, Mr. Bundy would pick up Mr. Rosellini's responses to questions at public appearances. He would then transcribe the material for distribution in the Evans camp.

“I'm not the least bit uncomfortable with what went, on,” Mr. Bundy said. “It was just part of political campaigning. You have to know what your opposition is saying and doing.”

Mr. Bundy's activities are similar to the roles played by two freelance writers during the 1972 Presidential campaign. Earlier this month it was disclosed that Murray Chotiner, a political aide to President ‘Nixon, hired the two writers to, travel with the Democratic Presidential candidate, George McGovern.

During his time working for Evans (pictured above), Ted Bundy was already showing off his ability to blend in with other people and appear to be one of them. So uncanny was this ability that he was even featured in The New York Times. On page 23 of the newspaper's August 30, 1973, issue, the publication reported on a "Theodore Bundy" who posed as a college student during Evans' 1972 re-election campaign so that he could travel with the governor's Democratic opponent, Albert Rosellini, and gather information on his activities. Yes, this was the same man who would commit his first documented murder little more than four months after his name was mentioned on one of America's leading newspapers.

At the time of the report, Bundy was working as a special assistant to the state of Washington's Republican Party chairman, Ross Davis. According to the Times, the would-be serial killer started as an unpaid volunteer and was eventually given a small salary as he shadowed Rosellini, transcribed his public remarks, and questioned him about certain issues. Bundy would then forward the information to the Evans campaign, much like a pair of freelance writers who traveled with 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern and supplied whatever intel they gathered to President Richard Nixon, who was also running for re-election that year.

When asked to comment on his role with the Evans campaign, Bundy told the Times that he had no qualms about essentially spying for the governor. "It was just part of political campaigning," he added. "You have to know what your opposition is saying and doing."

Bundy didn't just look good; he sometimes acted like a good guy. In the past he reportedly ran down and subdued a purse snatcher and saved drowning children. He even served as the assistant director of Seattle's Crime Prevention Advisory Commission and wrote a rape-prevention pamphlet. While living and killing in Utah he became an active member of the Mormon church and enrolled in law school.

By this point, Bundy had been convicted of kidnapping but hadn’t been sentenced. He would not be charged with the serial killings until the following year. Rule insists that she did not have “proof” that Bundy was guilty of any crime, and so “would wait.” But what was she thinking would be in these chapters? Was the idea of Bundy contributing to the book prompted by him, or something that Rule had previously considered? Also, “number of chapters” is telling in itself. If Rule thought that Bundy was falsely accused, or was unable to decide, or if she considered him likely to be a sideshow to the main event of capturing the killer, it would be strange to offer him as many chapters as he was inclined to write.

Rule’s schedule, by coincidence, meant spending more time with Bundy than any of the other Crisis Center volunteers. If Bundy or Rule felt that a caller was truly suicidal, they would signal the other to trace the call for emergency services. As Rule later wrote of the incongruity, “Ted Bundy took lives, he also saved lives.” Because, of course, the Ted Bundy who Rule encountered was the blandly handsome and purely sociopathic serial killer who was not content to only murder his victims but to make them suffer and degrade their remains in hauntingly inhuman ways.

A close read of “The Stranger Beside Me,” however, reveals a queasy subplot: When did Rule know that Bundy was guilty? Rule describes spending hours alone with him—before the majority of his crimes, though likely not before his earliest attempts at kidnapping. Rule warms to him, considers him a friend. Bundy tells Rule of his illegitimate birth, how his grandmother posed as his mother. He confides in her his plans to win back a former girlfriend. Bundy sends Rule a Christmas card with a synopsis of her favorite O. Henry story. The story has a reference to long hair which will come to sound sinister, since Ted’s victims uniformly had long brown hair, parted in the middle.
