I sat down with Edna Martin, cousin of infamous serial killer Ted Bundy, for a powerful and honest conversation about what it’s really like being connected to one of the most notorious criminals in American history.Edna doesn’t share his last name — but she has lived with the reality of that connection for decades.In this episode, we discuss:• What it’s like being related to Ted Bundy• The emotional impact on extended family• How media narratives shape public perception• The difference between who Ted appeared to be and how family members experienced him• Why she chose to share her story nowEdna is the author of The Dark Tide: Growing Up with Ted Bundy, a deeply personal account of navigating life connected to Bundy.She also appears in the Netflix documentary Love, Ted Bundy, which explores the complex legacy surrounding his life and crimes.This episode isn’t about sensationalizing violence — it’s about understanding the ripple effects of crime and the people who didn’t choose the spotlight but still had to live in it.I’m grateful to Edna for her openness and honesty.
