In the second half of this two-part episode, retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong picks up where the nightmare left off. After escaping custody twice, Ted Bundy fled to Tallahassee, Florida, where his violence escalated to its most savage and frenzied, including a brutal late-night attack on the Chi Omega sorority house left two young women dead and three others savagely beaten, and weeks later, twelve-year-old Kimberly Leach became his youngest known victim. But Bundy's arrogance proved to be his final undoing, and when Florida authorities closed in, there would be no more escapes. Candice examines the trials that followed. They were spectacles unlike anything the American justice system had ever seen, the first to be televised nationally, presided over by a defendant who fired his attorneys, cross-examined witnesses, and proposed marriage on the stand, convinced to the end that his charm could beat the evidence. It couldn't. On January 24, 1989, after years of manipulation, confessions and last-minute attempts to trade victim locations for more time, Ted Bundy was executed in the electric chair at Florida State Prison-- finally, irrevocably stopped by the system he had spent his entire adult life outrunning.
