More Details on Rose’s Parent’s Relationship
However, Rose’s father was arrested again in 1978. During his 1980 trial in Florida, her parents got married in the courtroom, in front of a judge. Ted had already been sentenced to death by then but her mother always believed him to be innocent.
As shown in the Netflix series Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, her mother had conceived her while Ted was on death row.
Ted had impregnated Carole when she came to visit him in the prison. The documentary showed her father revealing that they had bribed guards to let Carole inside the cell to have sex on a few occasions.
Her mother added that the guards did walk in on them sometimes but never stopped them. Apart from managing the conjugal visits, her mother allegedly smuggled drugs and money to the jail for him.
Furthermore, her mother traveled about 40 miles to be Ted’s character witness during his 1980 Orlando trial. At the time, Carole was pregnant with her.
The interesting fact is that her parents’ 1st wedding anniversary marked the second anniversary of Ted’s brutal kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Kimberly Leach.
