DEBBIE NEARLY ABDUCTED BY TED BUNDY
Debbie Harry claims she once escaped from a late-night encounter with serial killer Ted Bundy in New York City in the early 1970s. The 73-year-old lead singer of Blondie stands by her story, which she is expected to discuss in-depth in her upcoming memoir Face
It, which is due to be published in October, according to Rolling Stone.
According to Harry, she met Bundy while trying to get home from Manhattan's East Village in 1972. She says the encounter took place when she climbed into a stranger's car on Avenue C after being unable to hail a cab, according to Interview Magazine.
This was back in the early ‘70s,' Harry said.‘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 realised there was no door handle, no window crank, no nothing. She reached out of the window and grabbed the door handle 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,' she said. Harry said the driver took her two blocks to Avenue A. In 1989, Bundy, who killed at least 30 women in seven states over the course of just five years, was executed by way of the electric chair in Florida.
