A Notorious Killer: Ted Bundy

Abstract

Bundy would impersonate authority figures, such as police officers and firefighters, to gain victims’ trust. So, he was able to rape and murder scores of women this way. He typically strangled or bludgeoned his victims as well as mutilate them after death. Bundy also displayed their decapitated heads in his apartment and slept with their corpses until putrefaction made it unbearable [1]. Serial killer Ted Bundy confessed to at least 30 murders and raped or murdered at least 20 people. He claimed to have a severe hardcore pornographic addiction. His initial sexual fantasies were sparked by the sexual violence depicted in those printed videos or detective magazines. Ted Bundy was a psychopath and extremely manipulative. Before committing those atrocities, he used to drink. He admitted that he was usually half-drunk when he killed and raped those young women. He was able to evade capture for decades by leaving virtually no evidence behind. Bundy died in the electric chair on January 24, 1989, after being convicted of his last murder.
