Oh, he pretended, of course. It was one of his last games to manipulate that pastor into believing his remorse.
I'm no expert, of course, but as I said, I read a lot on serial offenders. They tend to be master manipulators and narcissists with no feelings of empathy. The profiler John Douglas wrote a lot about Bundy and how he tried to manipulate them, even after he was sentenced.
Wouldn't be surprised. Apparently he was very charismatic and charming in person, which he also used to his advantage when luring women.
Here's his last interview:
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
