On April 30, 1945, Adolf Hilter and his wife Eva committed suicide together. Eva had poisoned herself with cyanide. There are a few stories of how Hilter had actually died. Some say that he had just poisoned himself, while others say that he had shot himself along with ingesting cyanide. The same afternoon, they were carried to the Reich chancellor garden, where their bodies were burned. In 1970 their bodies were then cremated and their ashes scattered.

Ted Bundy was a kidnapper, rapist, and serial killer, sentenced to die by electric chair, convicted of 30 murders. He claimed that pornography fueled his urge to torture women in a sexual manner. This is a portion of an interview he had the day before he died.

.         Ted, after you committed your first murder what was the emotional effect on you?  What happened in the days after that?

B.         Again… please understand, that even all these years later, it’s very difficult to talk about it, and reliving it, through talking about it, is difficult, to say the least, but I want you to understand what happened  It was like coming out of some kind of horrible trance or dream.  I can only liken it to after… - I don’t want to over dramatise it, but - to have been possessed by something so awful and so alien, and then the next morning wake up from it, remember what happened and realise that basically, I mean in the eyes of the law, certainly in the eyes of God, you’re responsible.  To wake up in the morning and realise what I had done, with a clear mind and with all my essential moral and ethical feelings intact at that moment…absolutely horrified that I was capable of doing something like that.

D.         You really hadn’t known that before?

B.         There is just absolutely no way to describe. First, the brutal urge to do that kind of thing and then, what happens is, once it’s been more or less satisfied and recedes, you might say, or spent, that sense, that kind of energy level recedes.  I basically became myself again.  I want people to understand this too, I’m not saying this gratuitously because it’s important that people understand this.  Basically I was a normal person.  I wasn’t some guy hanging out at bars or a bum, or I wasn’t a pervert in the sense that, you know, people look at somebody and say: “I know there’s something wrong with him, I can just tell.”  I mean, I was essentially a normal person and I had good friends, I led a normal life except for this one, small but very potent and very destructive segment of it,  that I kept very secret, very close to myself and didn’t let anybody know about it.  And part of the shock and horror for my dear friends and family, years ago when I was first arrested was that there was no clue.  They looked at me and they looked at the, you know, the ‘All-American boy’.  I mean, I wasn’t perfect, but I want to be quite candid with you, I was OK. 

D.         OK.

B.         I was.  The basic humanity, the basic spirit that God gave me was intact, but unfortunately, it became overwhelmed at times.  People need to recognise that it’s not some kind of…  that those of us who are…  who have been so much influenced by violence in the media, in particular pornographic violence, are not some kinds of inherent monsters.  We are your sons and your husbands, and we grew up in regular families.  And pornography can reach out and snatch a kid from any house today.  It snatched me out of my home twenty, thirty years ago, as diligent as my parents were.  And they were diligent in protecting their children.  And as good a Christian home as we had, and we had a wonderful Christian home.  There is no protection against the kinds of influences that are loose in the society that tolerates…
