Debbie Harry Escaped Ted Bundy

You read that right: Debbie Harry claims she accepted a ride from Ted Bundy in the early ’70s, but freaked out after noticing the car didn’t have any handles on the inside. She explains:

The hairs on the back of my neck just stood up. I pulled the door handle from the outside. He tried to stop me by spinning the car, but it helped me fling myself out. Afterwards I saw him on the news. Ted Bundy.

(Via The Sun)

Bundy was executed in 1989, the year Harry released her third solo album Def, Dumb and Blonde.

UPDATE: According to snopes.com, thanks annoyingmouse, the guy with the creepy car probably wasn’t Bundy.

  1. The Sun really is the worst. Not only is this not news (Harry told the story in 1989) it was debunked years ago. http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/debharry.asp

  2. Um, not only is this far from the first time Debbie’s told this story, but it’s been up on Snopes for three and a half years: http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/debharry.asp

  3. (Er, yeah, what he said)

  4. dickity? highly dubious.

  5. And yet the headline on the front page still says “Debbie Harry Escaped Ted Bundy.”
