Nearly three decades after his execution police are still investigating cold cases believed to be tied to serial killer Ted Bundy.

I was surprised to learn that Washington state still does not have an official sample of his DNA.

As KIRO 7’s Dave Wagner continues his series on Bundy, he explained to me why that is.

“You would think there would be Ted Bundy DNA available to any investigator,” he told me.

Listen to the entire conversation here.

Dave Wagner’s story will air at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Ross: Does the right to protest outweigh the right to learn?

When does a protest cross the line? I can answer that. When it devolves into violence, obviously it crosses a line.

Ross: Are we killing car culture? Or is car culture killing the US?

I don’t think the question is whether we're going to "kill" our car culture. The real question is can we stop our car culture from killing the U.S.?

Ross: As cars release driving data to insurance, is your driving my business?

Every move you make, every swerve you take, every lane change you fake – someone’s watching you. Do drivers have a right to keep driving data private?
