Clark was immediately charged with lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor and aiding and abetting a murder suspect, i.e. Clark was at his place of work at the time of her arrest reportedly, Carol asked the arresting officers if they wanted to see what kind of guy Doug Clark was, then trotted out the pictures taken of him with the 11-year-old girl. Bundy told police in her confession, “It’s fun to kill people.”Īpparently it was fun to bury people, too, which Bundy proceeded to do to Doug Clark even before she was in the police station. She was charged with the murder of Jack Murray, and with the murder of the young woman who could not be identified.
At any rate, the co-workers promptly called the police and Carol was arrested at the apartment she shared with Clark. Jack Murray’s head was never found.Īt this point, some accounts portray Carol Bundy as breaking down, telling her co-workers she had “taken lives.” Personally, I’m of the opinion this was less about “breaking down” than it was about Carol being an attention-junkie, and now, in Murray’s absence, in bad need of a “fix”. There were two spent shell casings in the van, suggesting that additionally, he’d been shot. He’d been stabbed nine times, his buttocks were slashed and pieces had been removed. Murray’s headless, heat-blistered body was discovered in his own van parked a scant two blocks away from the Little Nashville. Instead, as Carol tells it, Jack Murray hinted he might have to go to the police, an idea he should have kept to himself. Jack Murray was a violent and sadistic man and Carol adored him, and told him all about the sordid things she and Doug were up to, hoping to win his admiration. In spite of his wife’s protests, Murray either would not, or could not, bring himself to end their association. Her skeletonized remains were not identifiable.Įven with all this going on, Carol still found time to hang out at the Little Nashville and make goo-goo eyes at Jack Murray. Killed with the same caliber weapon used in the other five murders, she was also shot in the head. In late August, 1980, the body of another young woman was discovered. Dumped in the woods of San Fernando Valley, the victim was a teenage runaway and forensics would determine that although she was the fifth victim found she met her fate some three weeks earlier, giving her the dubious honor of being the Sunset Strip Killer’s first kill. Three days passed and another body was found. Since keeping a severed head just any old way speaks to a poor upbringing, again, according to Carol, she and Clark cleaned the head, put it in an ornate, casket-like box and left it in an alley. In her confession, Bundy told police that once the head had been defrosted she put makeup on it, and Doug Clark used it as a sex toy. The women were both prostitutes and again the bodies were left in plain sight, but there was a grisly new detail: now, a victim’s head had been removed.Ĭarol didn’t call the police this time even though she was certainly aware of this “development” the prostitute’s severed head was in her freezer. Twelve days later there were two more shootings.
Carol called the police and toyed with them, saying she had information about the murders which she then would not disclose. The bodies were soon discovered near the Ventura Freeway, where they were left in plain sight. He said he had picked up two teenage prostitutes from the Sunset Strip and after paying the girls to perform fellatio on him, he shot them both in the head. One night, in June of 1980, Doug Clark came home to the apartment he and Bundy shared and according to Carol, he was covered in blood. She also dangled the same jailbait in front of Murray, who also bit, but Murray at least had the good sense not to make a Kodak moment of the event. When Carol Bundy dangled the temptation of a sexual encounter with an 11-year-old girl in front of him, Doug Clark bit, and Bundy kept the photographs she took of Clark and the young girl. In fact, “sleazy” is the most charitable word that comes to mind. Mind you, Doug Clark was no prince, and neither was Jack Murray. No amount of attention, no matter how negative, was ever enough for her, and unfortunately for both Murray and Clark, Carol Bundy was also a psychopath. Carol Bundy was a textbook example of borderline personality disorder. Think Alex Forrester in “Fatal Attraction”, and Evelyn in “Play Misty For Me”, then times that by a gazillion. But Jack Murray had a wife and he had two kids, and if all he wanted from Carol Bundy was a little afternoon delight, he also had another thing coming.
