Ted Bundy's chilling final words revealed 37 years after his execution

The chilling final words of Ted Bundy have been revealed some 37 years after his execution.

Over the 1970s, Bundy kidnapped, raped and murdered dozens of young women, and managed to stay hidden from the authorities until he was eventually caught in 1975 when a police officer initially arrested him for reckless driving, leading his vehicle to be searched and finding a bag containing a ski mask, ice pick, and handcuffs.

Bundy admitted to killing up to 30 women; however, it has been speculated by police that he may have killed more.

In 1979, he was convicted of the deaths of two women, Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy, and was given the death penalty twice. Later on, he was eventually given a third death sentence for the murder of Kimberly Leach, which led to his execution via electric chair in 1989.

The 42-year-old was also married for six years, from 1980 to 1986, to Carole Ann Boone, who later gave birth to his daughter, Rose.

Boone divorced the serial killer three years prior to his execution, though that didn't stop Bundy from paying tribute to her and the rest of his family in his chilling final words.

While sitting in the electric chair, Bundy said: "I'd like you to give my love to my family and friends."

Prior to his passing and during his time on death row, he exchanged letters with his cousin Edna Martin, who has since detailed some of the interactions she had with the killer.

Edna, now 74, told PEOPLE magazine.“He was pretty patronizing. He said, ‘you don't know me anymore and you need to get to know yourself first before you can know me.' He implied that I didn't know all the facts.

"One of the quotes that he wrote to me was, 'I have no guilt, remorse, or regrets over anything I've done.'"

While Bundy was a mass murderer, Edna feels there were two sides to the killer.

"Ted was two people. He was one person to his family and friends, and obviously he was something altogether terrifyingly different to his victims," she added.

"I don't think he felt like he ever wanted to take that mask off with me."

In that letter, Edna said Bundy did not disclose any of the killings he was convicted of.

She did question him, however, as she posed: “I said, 'why would you develop such a deep rage and hatred that you would feel so overwhelmed that you would have to kill ruthlessly?'

"His response was ‘I won't disregard your accusations completely ... I will say this much, I have not killed anyone.’ And then he goes, and he quotes a Bible verse to me."
