In Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes four hour-long films share journalist Stephen Michaud's story Journalist Stephen Michaud knew it would be the scoop of a lifetime – the chance to talk exclusively to one of the world’s most notorious serial killers about his heinous crimes and write a book based on the interviews.
