In an interview with The Sun, Debbie Harry claims that she was picked up by notorious serial killer Ted Bundy and took a ride in his car. In quite disturbing quotes, she explains that she sensed something was wrong immediately. Apparently, she...
"...was trying to get a cab on the lower east side of the Village in New York, and it was kind of late. This was back in the early '70s. I wasn't even in a band then... I was trying to get across town to an after-hours club. A little white car pulls up, and the guy offers me a ride. So I just continued to try to flag a cab down. But he was very persistent, and he asked where I was going. It was only a couple of blocks away, and he said, 'Well I'll give you a ride.' I got in the car, and it was summertime and the windows were all rolled up except about an inch and a half at the top. So I was sitting there and he wasn't really talking to me. Automatically, I sort of reached to roll down the window and I realized there was no door handle, no window crank, no nothing. The inside of the car was totally stripped out. I got very nervous. I reached my arm out through the little crack and stretched down and opened the car from the outside. As soon as he saw that, he tried to turn the corner really fast, and I spun out of the car and landed in the middle of the street."
This is pretty harrowing stuff. Surely Harry's story should be taken seriously, right? Admittedly, some have noted that Bundy was based on the opposite side of the United States at the time. He never went to New York during the period of his murders. They all took place in Seattle, Utah and Florida. The closest he got to New York was Philadelphia - 5 years before he turned to a life of murder. Supposedly, on his arrest, Bundy's car was found to be completely normal. It wasn't converted in any way. These debunkers are sort of missing the point though. OK, so maybe whoever picked up Debbie Harry wasn't Bundy. But that doesn't mean the whole story is false. Harry was clearly abducted by someone that wanted to kill her, and had gone to the trouble of making his car escape-proof. He could still be out there.
