Do you believe Ted murdered Susan Davis and Elizabeth Perry in 1969? He did say he started killing in 69. How much evidence also links him to the Lonnie Trumbull case?
I don’t think he did it and he actually never said he started killing in 1969. A few minutes before his execution, when asked if he killed anyone in New Jersey, his answer was no :
The Warden : Ted, I have some inquiries from Illinois and New Jersey.
Ted : Okay. Well, let’s just deal with whatever is outstanding like that. I can say without any question that there is nothing that I was involved in in Illinois or New Jersey.
He had no reason to lie when he already admitted to murders in other states that were unaccounted for.
Also, the MO doesn’t fit Ted. Both girls had stab wounds on their neck, and abdomen. The only time he used a knife was when he killed Kimberly Leach by slicing her throat.
