People have been curious to know about Karen Sparks Obituary, but let me tell you something interesting about it. 

Karen Sparks, the victim of Ted Bundy, is alive; hence there is no obituary of hers. The first known survivor, Karen Sparks-Epley, was attacked by the murderer in 1974. 

Bundy broke into her bedroom, r*ped her s*xually, and beat her with a metal rod. He also used a piece of her bedpost to knock her out. 

Karen Sparks Shared Her Experience With The Serial Killer, Ted Bundy

Karen Sparks has never before discussed her harrowing incident on television with Ted Bundy.

The first victim, Karen Sparks-Epley, was rendered unconscious by the “charming” killer after he viciously tore a piece of her bedpost off and attacked her with it.

The three survivors of Ted Bundy’s crime appeared on Fox Nation host and crime expert Nancy Grace.

Karen Sparks-Epley, Karen Chandler Pryor, and Cheryl Thomas were a few of the survivors. 

They joined Nancy Grace, anchor of Fox Nation and a crime expert, for a roundtable where they each revealed their terrifying tales. 

‘The fact that Bundy’s first known survivor and Bundy’s last known survivor are present here, in this space, at this table, at the same time, amazes me,’ Grace said in the show. 

In the five-part Ted Bundy: Falling for a Murderer documentary series on Amazon, women who knew the notorious serial killer or were impacted by his crimes make their first-ever on-camera appearances. 

Sparks was beaten and left for dead on January 4, 1974, while she was residing in the University District district of Seattle and pursuing her studies in political science at the University of Washington. 

‘It was awful,’ she claimed. ‘He broke my skull after breaking a bedframe off my bed when he broke into my house.’ 

‘He most likely used the same bedframe, smashing it into my bladder and vagina. It took Sparks over 20 hours for her roommate to notice that her bladder was completely separated. Bob believed I was still asleep… It was awful that he discovered me in that manner.’

Her injuries were severe enough to cause irreversible brain damage and substantial eyesight and hearing loss. 

She complained, ‘I have a terrible ringing and roaring in my ears. I also experienced epileptic fits for a while, but I overcome those.’

Sparks claims that she wanted to keep silent after her assault. 

‘I wished for private, independent life. Women like us, women who have been assaulted, raped, and survivors, they keep their secrets to themselves. I don’t understand why,’ she added, ‘We are taught to move forward.’

Sparks’ name has been featured in previous books and articles concerning Bundy’s atrocities, but Wood tells ET she was unaware of Sparks. 

There have been several reports throughout the years regarding how she is doing and what happened to her following the attack, but nothing was confirmed.
