S3 E2: Lake Sammamish

October 23, 2026 · 11 min

Show notes

On the fourteenth of July, nineteen seventy-four, Ted Bundy abducted two young women from a crowded beach in broad daylight — Janice Ott, twenty-three, and Denise Naslund, nineteen. This episode reconstructs that hot Sunday afternoon at Lake Sammamish State Park: the sling, the sailboat that never existed, the eight witnesses, the two hundred tips a day, and the composite sketch on the evening news that his own girlfriend, professor, and coworkers recognized — while detectives insisted a clean-cut law student could not be the killer.
