Bundy: Unmasking the Monster
Ted Bundy was an American serial killer, kidnapper, and rapist who committed his crimes during the 1970s. Born on November 24, 1946, in Burlington, Vermont, Bundy was known for his charm and intelligence, traits that helped him lure victims. His crime spree spanned across several states, including Washington, Oregon, Utah, and Colorado.
Bundy's modus operandi often involved feigning injury or disability to attract his victims, whom he would then abduct, assault, and often murder. He confessed to killing 30 women, though the actual number might be higher. His victims were typically young women, and he often used tools like blunt objects or knives to inflict harm.
Bundy was arrested multiple times and managed to escape custody twice, continuing his killing spree after each escape. He was finally captured in 1978 and convicted of multiple murders. In 1979, he was sentenced to death. Bundy was executed in the electric chair at Florida State Prison on January 24, 1989.
His case remains one of the most notorious in criminal history, often studied for its insights into criminal psychology and behavior.
