Ted Bundy went on a four-year killing spree during which he killed more than 30 women. Even after his confession, some people found it difficult to accept that the charming and attractive Vermont native was a ruthless killer. Bundy’s wickedness extended beyond murder to include having sex with the bodies of his victims and keeping their heads severed as mementos.
Bundy’s tale seems to be all the rage in Hollywood. Many documentaries and movies have discussed his rampage and case. The most recent Bundy movie, No Man of God, details his interactions with FBI agent Bill Hagmeir in the years leading up to his death.
Bundy’s family is mentioned in the movie, and many viewers are curious as to what happened to his daughter.
Ted’s daughter Rose Bundy lives a secretive life under an unknown name

Rose Bundy never witnessed her father enjoying freedom. Along with her mother and Bundy’s spouse, Carol Ann Boone, she paid him a visit in prison.
Rose was Bundy’s first biological kid, but he had raised the daughter of his ex-girlfriend. Due to the breakdown in his relationship with her mother, Rose stopped seeing Ted.
Carole had a hunch that Ted was having a relationship with one of his attorneys. She was also saddened by Ted’s admission because she was convinced Bundy was innocent.
One of Bundy’s attorneys, Polly Nelson, said in Defending the Devil,
“She [Anne] was hurt by his friendship with Diana [Weiner] and heartbroken by his abrupt mass confession in his last days.”
In 1986, Anne and Ted got divorced and moved with Rose from Florida to Washington state. On the day of his execution, Carole didn’t receive a call from Ted. Rose failed to say goodbye to her father, according to Ted Bundy: Falling For a Killer. Diane Smith, a friend of Boone’s, said:
“She was devastated by the call. She was quite irate. I’m surprised she even spoke to him. And when he tried to talk to Rose, she refused. Rose did not say farewell as a result.
Boone and Rose used fictitious names to relocate to Washington state. Carole passed away in a retirement community in 2018. Rose is doing well leading a hidden life, according to author Ann Rule. She says, “I’ve heard Ted’s daughter is a nice and smart young lady. The rule stated on her website that she respects Rose’s privacy and does not search for her:
Rose was conceived in mysterious circumstances when Bundy was in prison
In 1974, while both were employed by the Washington State Department of Emergency Service, Bundy and Carole Boone crossed paths. According to Carole’s account in The Only Living Witness, she attracted Ted right away:
“I liked Ted right away. We got along nicely. He came across to me as being fairly reserved with a lot more going on underneath the surface. He was undoubtedly more poised and subdued than the majority of recognizable types in the office.”
The murder accusations against Ted didn’t seem to disturb Carole. She visited him in prison and aided in one of his escapes. Following Carole’s testimony in his favor during his murder trial, Bundy proposed to her.
While Bundy was incarcerated, Rose Bundy was conceived. The pregnancy’s conception is still a mystery because Ted was prohibited from visiting his partner. The most plausible possibility is that Ted and Boone paid off jailers to ignore their wrongdoing.
Boone stated in Conversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, “After the first day, they [prison guards] just didn’t care.” “They occasionally peeked in on us.”
The day Rose Bundy came was October 24, 1982. Before Boone stopped communicating with her father, she saw her father for four years.
