Ted Bundy

     Theodore Robert Bundy is one of the most notorious serial killers we know in America.  With charming looks, being a student in college, and volunteering for a crisis hotline joined by Ann Rule who eventually wrote a novel about him; you would never believe the things this man could do.  Bundy has confessed to forty murders within his time that he was convicted and charged with, but that does not account for the murders he did not admit to doing.  Some even believe that he started his killing spree at the age of fourteen.  Many disappearing's were happening at around the same time, yet Ted Bundy went right along with his day.


     The man who was doing all of these killings always wore a cast and asked pretty little girls in parking garages to help him carry his books or a package to his old Volkswagen beetle.  He would then hit them on top of the head, suffocate them, and finally rape all of the women.  He liked to leave the bodies in a wooded area, usually the Taylor mountains in Washington state.  Bundy was even questioned at one point but cleared because he did not seem to fit the person of interest.

     Bundy eventually moved to Utah and killings began to happen there and in the Colorado area.  He was eventually arrested by the Salt Lake City police for possession of burglary tools.  As the police searched his car they found handcuffs, masks, and many other weird things.  During a police line up a victim, who fortunately made it away from Ted when he tried to murder her, identified him as the killer.  In January of 1977 Bundy was extradited to Colorado to be tried for murder.  After escaping from jail two times, Bundy went on a murdering spree and killed many girls, raping some, and invaded a fraternity house.  Eventually he was caught again and obviously sentenced the death penalty for his wrong doings by electrocution.  This was a man who was completely out of his mind, wanting to murder any girl he ever saw and completely deserved the death penalty.

"We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow."
