Ted Bundy survivor reveals what saved her from serial killer’s sorority-house rampage

Kleiner Rubin, now 65, narrowly escaped Bundy when he broke into Florida State University's Chi Omega house during the early morning hours of Jan. 15, 1978

Newsroom September 28 07:48

Notorious serial killer Ted Bundy murdered at least 30 women between 1974 and 1978, and Kathy Kleiner Rubin was just seconds from becoming another victim.

Kleiner Rubin, now 65, narrowly escaped Bundy when he broke into Florida State University’s Chi Omega house and killed sorority sisters Lisa Levy and Margaret Bowman in their beds during the early morning hours of Jan. 15, 1978.

“Bundy gripped the oak log he had grabbed from the firewood pile by the back door. I saw him raise his left arm into the air. He slammed the log onto my face with tremendous force,” Kleiner Rubin — the only Bundy survivor to write a book — says in her memoir, “A Light in the Dark: Surviving More than Ted Bundy,” to be released on Oct. 3. “… My responses were primal. I wanted to scream for help, but I could not.”

“I didn’t yet know that both my jaw joints were broken and disconnected from my cheekbone. My chin was so badly smashed that it shattered, and my cheek had been ripped open as though I had been hit by a bullet,” she writes. “My teeth were still in my jaw, but the intense force of the blow had pushed my molars forward. They were like cars on the highway that had been rammed forward in a massive, multicar pileup.”
