About this listen

The inspiration for the five-part Amazon Original docuseries Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer

This updated, expanded edition of The Phantom Prince, Elizabeth Kendall’s 1981 memoir detailing her six-year relationship with serial killer Ted Bundy, includes a new introduction and a new afterword by the author and a startling new chapter from the author’s daughter, Molly, who has not previously shared her story.

Bundy is one of the most notorious serial killers in American history and one of the most publicized to this day. However, very rarely do we hear from the women he left behind - the ones forgotten as mere footnotes in this tragedy.

The Phantom Prince chronicles Elizabeth Kendall’s intimate relationship with Ted Bundy and its eventual unraveling. As much as has been written about Bundy, it’s remarkable to hear the perspective of people who shared their daily lives with him for years. This gripping account presents a remarkable examination of a charismatic personality that masked unimaginable darkness.

Wow. A powerful revised edition, particularly Liz and Molly’s updates in their own voices at the end.

Much respect due to this unique perspective on the evil that was Bundy.

Well worth your time. I found myself questioning strongly her decisions throughout but then I got it. Elizabeth Kendall is not trying to label herself a victim of Ted Bundy as some other listeners have suggested. She met him at a difficult time in her life, he used her he manipulated her and spat her out, I highly recommend you give this a listen.

An emotional experience

as stated by Liz herself at the end of the book, she was still in love with ted at the time of writing... and this comes across in every sentence she describes of him. it's almost fawning at some points and it is hard to listen to, but at the same time it is easy to see why she was so conflicted thinking he was guilty at one moment and innocent in another. he had her so confused and wrapped tightly around her finger. Overall a very compelling story.

Good story, hard to get through at some points.
