in January of 1978 I was 20 years old I lived in the Chi Omega sorority house on
00:00:15
the FSU campus in Tallahassee [Music] I was happy I was with my other friends and Florida State was just a safe place
00:00:27
to be when I moved into the sorority house my roommate was Karen Chandler when I
00:00:36
was at FSU it was very laid-back it was just a great time classes had been going
00:00:45
on for about a week and everyone was moved in to the house Saturday January 14th I walked home and I got in the
00:00:56
sorority and there were kids talking about you know where they're going tonight what are they doing who they're
00:01:01
dating what party and then I saw my book sitting on the trunk and I said you know
00:01:06
I have a test on Monday I'm gonna go ahead and stay home and study tonight [Music]
00:01:13
my roommate Karen came in at the same time and she had a sewing project she had to do so she sat in her bed next to
00:01:24
mine and we talked for a little while and then Kathy was tired so I just went ahead and decided to go to bed it was
00:01:32
maybe around midnight maybe a little bit before midnight that night I heard our bedroom door slam
00:01:44
open I was opening my eyes a little bit because it kind of brought me into consciousness and I'm awake enough to
00:01:52
know someone's there as I'm opening my eyes more in focusing he raised his arm and he had something in his hand
00:02:02
I thought it was a pipe or a stick I didn't know what it was he came down and hit me in the face it just felt like
00:02:15
pins and needles and knives in my face my roommate Karen was now stirring and he went over and hit her I'm still awake
00:02:25
and I'm moving so he came back to my side of the bed and as I see him raise his arm up this bright light shone into
00:02:36
our room this light was a car from one of the sorority sisters coming home from a late
00:02:45
date he got spooked and he left the room the next thing I remember is the feeling
00:02:53
like I was being lifted downstairs and I remember asking if Kathy was okay and then saying she's going to be okay you
00:03:03
need to worry about yourself terrified they put me on the stretcher and there was all this noise there were the lights
00:03:16
from the police cars and ambulance police say he simply walked in through an unlocked door people talking and
00:03:23
their radio squawking they say he was armed with a heavy oak law and I thought I was at a carnival because my mind went
00:03:32
to somewhere I could understand my name is Kathy kleiner and I was attacked by Ted Bundy
