Blondie’s Debbie Harry: “I escaped serial killer Ted Bundy”
<p>Debbie Harry has made an explosive claim as she says she was once lured into a taxi by serial killer Ted Bundy in the early ‘70s.</p>
<p>The 73-year-old is planning to reveal the entire story in her autobiography,<span> </span><em>Face It</em>, which is set to be released in October this year.</p>
<p>In a previous interview with<span> </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/8191211/Blondies-Debbie-Harry-claims-serial-killer-Ted-Bundy-lured-her-into-car.html" target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a>, the Blondie singer spoke about the unsettling encounter which occurred in New York City: “It was in the early ‘70s and I was trying to get across town at two or three o’clock in the morning.</p>
<p>“This little car kept coming around and offering me a ride.”</p>
<p>Harry then said she hopped inside the vehicle after many failed attempts at finding a taxi.</p>
<p>“I got in the car and the windows were all rolled up, except for a tiny crack. This driver had an incredibly bad smell to him.</p>
<p>“I looked down and there were no door handles. The inside of the car was stripped. The hairs on the back of my neck just stood up.</p>
<p>“I wigged my arm out of the window and pulled the door handle from the outside. I don’t know how I did it, but I got out.</p>
<p>“He tried to stop me by spinning the car, but it sort of helped me fling myself out. Afterwards I saw him on the news, it was Ted Bundy.”</p>
<p>Once Bundy was arrested, he admitted to his lawyer that he first attempted to kidnap a woman in 1969 and implied that his first murder happened in 1972.</p>
<p>He was only 27-years-old when his first recorded murder occurred in 1974.</p>
<p>He went on to kill 30 women.</p>
<p>But even after the serial killer was imprisoned, the nightmare wasn’t over as he managed to escape lockup twice.</p>
