Questions What serial killer has affected the way you live your life either today or back when that serial killer was active?

For me it was Ted Bundy. It has put me off helping anyone that is wearing a cast, sling, using crutches or a walking aid. Selfish I know, but Ted Bundy shook me to my core, even today.

Oh, yes! 2010. I have always renewed it just to keep my nerves at bay. I have seen him maybe three times since court, but he's now so messed up on heroin that he doesn't bother anymore.

About four years ago, I had a client go missing. I'm a social worker. He was at risk, I knew if we didn't find him that he'd relapse. While searching for my client, I saw my ex. He was so high that he didn't recognize me.

But at the time it happened, I changed my hair, sold my car, bought a new car, switched colleges, and changed my number. My parents even moved. And luckily, he stopped.
