Pryor added that “bring(ing) back that memory” when she managed to barely survive Bundy’s rampage at a sorority house. Early in the morning of January 15, Bundy broke into the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University where he unleashed hell on the sleeping sorority sisters.

They heard moans, so they called and they could hear through the wall, my phone ringing. I didn’t answer,” she said during from the Fox Nation special. “Then they called again and they heard running.

Likewise, Bundy broke into the sorority house and duplex, attacking his victims and escaping without a trace for weeks.

And the manner of homicide was so brutal,” Browne said. “I’ve probably done 50 murder cases in my career, maybe more. And those are the only two that have those similarities. Almost all of them involve weapons, mostly guns, or fights, things like that , or in self-defense.” “It’s downright brutal. It’s rage. Whoever did this was full of rage.” Experts say there are similarities between serial killer Ted Bundy and suspected Idaho killer Bryan Kohberger. (FoxNews) Bundy had used a log to beat his victims, including Thomas and Pryor, while Kohberger allegedly used a knife to stab the four students. Browne explained that both weapons involve being close to the victim and require a great deal of time and rage to kill an individual. “They’re brutal, and they’re designed to basically destroy the inside of your body as well as the outside of your body. That’s an indication of great rage on the part of the abuser. No doubt about that. “, He shared.
