Blondie singer Debbie Harry has claimed that she almost fell victim to the notorious serial killer Ted Bundy.
The front-woman of 70s rockers disclosed that she could have been the first of the mass killer's 30 victims.
In an interview she told how Bundy spotted her from his car in the early hours of the morning as she walked across town in New York, US.
He persisted in offering her a lift and because there were no taxis available she finally got in the small car.
Her instinct, however, saved her life because she noticed there were no door handles, and the car interior was stripped bare.
She somehow managed to put her hand through the window and open the door from outside and jumped from the moving vehicle.
She only later learned that the "smelly" driver was Ted Bundy who became one of the world's most notorious serial killers.
After his arrest Bundy told his lawyer that he made his first attempt to kidnap a woman in 1969 and implied that he committed his first actual murder in 1972.
