The images are of Theodore Robert "Ted" Bundy (Billy Campbell), carrying the body of a blonde young woman across the fields up to a barn. Ted clumsily applies lipstick to the woman's face, and those reminiscences are mixed with a police car's sirens stopping him.

Ann realises that her friend Ted looks a little like the killer, but the cop doesn't think it possible that the murderer used his real name - that would be stupid.Some other day, Ted introduces his friend Kelly Parker (Suki Kaiser) to Ann at the café.
