Ted Bundy tales come out Ryan Summerlin POST INDEPENDENT
After the Post Independent ran a story about finding 1977 photo negatives of serial killer Ted Bundy in its long-locked safe, the story spread around the globe. The out-of-date photo medium got a big boost from the viral effect of the digital age. After getting plenty of media attention around the state, The New York Times, Washington Post and CBS News picked up the Associated Press version. Across the Atlantic, the Daily Mail in London ran a story, and on the other side of the globe, it was picked up by the New Zealand Herald. Such is human fascination with the macabre, which also prompted an outpouring of strange new stories surrounding Bundy’s escapes from the Pitkin and Garfield county jails before his capture in Florida and execution in 1989. Another strange web of this story started years before Bundy, who would confess to murdering 30 women, was a household name. In 1974, Ross Dolan, about 29 or 30 years old at the time, was living in Aspen, working odd jobs to keep afloat in the mountain town. One of those jobs was driving for the Quicksilver Cab Company. One day, shortly after Christmas, he was driving a man to the airport. His passenger leaned forward and showed him a photograph of a woman and asked if he’d seen her. It was his fiance, and she’d gone missing in Aspen. Unfortunately, Dolan couldn’t be of any help that day; he didn’t recognize the woman. But about two weeks later, in a snowbank, Caryn Campbell’s naked body would be found in Snowmass. And Ted Bundy would eventually be on trial for her murder. In 1977, while that trial was upcoming, Bundy would escape from the Pitkin County courthouse by leaping from a second-story window. And after a weeklong manhunt that turned the town upside down, when law enforcement was finally hauling Bundy back in at the courthouse, it was the former cab driver Dolan who captured Bundy’s infamous smile in a photograph.

Poll: Pot safer than opioids
Tuesday, April 18, 2017 |

DENVER
Americans think it’s safer to use marijuana than opioids to relieve pain, but they were less comfortable with children and pregnant women using pot to treat medical conditions, according to a new Yahoo/ Marist poll released Monday. Two-thirds of the respondents in the telephone survey said opioid drugs such as Vicodin or OxyContin are “riskier” to use than pot, even when the pain pills are prescribed by a doctor. Only one in five said marijuana was riskier than opioids. The rest weren’t sure. Every day, an overdose of prescription opioids or heroin kills 91 people, and legions more are brought back from the brink of death. Some 2 million Americans are thought to be hooked on the pills. Last month, President Donald J. Trump appointed an opioid commission to look into
the problem. Marijuana by itself is not fatal. Doctors technically don’t prescribe it for pain or other purposes but most states that allow medical marijuana do require patients to get a doctor’s written recommendation to purchase it to treat their conditions. Among those answering the Yahoo/Marist poll, 83 percent said the drug should be legal nationally for medical treatment. But 70 percent said it is not acceptable for pregnant women to use marijuana to reduce nausea or pain. And the survey respondents were about evenly divided on whether marijuana should be recommended for children if it were legal. The survey respondents were deeply divided on how Trump should approach pot: 38 percent said he shouldn’t be as tough about enforcing federal laws against recreational pot use as President Barack Obama, whose policy generally was to
leave states alone. Another 30 percent said Trump should take a harder line than Obama, while the rest weren’t sure or said Trump should treat it about the same as Obama did. Trump’s administration has sent mixed messages to the 28 states and Washington, D.C., in violation of federal drug law when it comes to pot. Trump said as a candidate that states should be allowed to tinker with marijuana laws. But new U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has said marijuana is dangerous and marijuana changes by states should not be allowed. There has been no action yet by the U.S. Justice Department or any other federal agencies to crack down on states violating the Controlled Substances Act, which bans pot for any use. The Yahoo/Marist telephone poll of 1,122 adults was conducted last month and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
