Edna Cowell Martin, Ted Bundy's cousin, is the first of the serial killer's relatives to write a book about her experience growing up with the notorious serial killer.
Imagine finding out the cousin you’d spent some of the best moments of childhood with grew up to be a serial killer. That’s what happened to Edna Cowell Martin, Ted Bundy’s cousin, in the 1970s, she says in her new memoir, 'Dark Tide.' Martin, 72, is the first of Bundy’s relatives to write a book about growing up with the serial killer who murdered at least 30 women and girls between 1974 and 1978. In her memoir, Martin recalls the moment she first knew her cousin was guilty.
She remembers getting the call that changed the trajectory of her family’s life 'in this remote place out in the wilderness — and it was a lot less settled then than it is now … on a ship-to-shore phone where anybody could tune into that frequency' and hear her conversation. It was Martin’s brother who called to break the news that their cousin had just been arrested.
