Theodore Robert Bundy known as Ted Bundy was born on November 24, 1946, in Burlington Vermont, and died on January 24, 1989, in Florida State Prison. Ted Bundy was one of the most notorious criminals of the late 20th century. He was a serial killer, rapist, and necrophiliac. In the 1970s he admitted to killing 30 women, but through some experts, his actual victim count could and most likely be over 100. He was arrested in February 1978 for good. He received three separate death sentences for the murders of two Chi Omega sorority members at the Florida State University, and a 12-year-old girl. Bundy had a “charming” appearance, so he was somewhat of a celebrity while on trial. He was then later executed in January 1989 at 42. All of Bundy’s murders seem to follow a pattern. He would often start by raping his victims before he would beat them to death. The way he would often lure women into his car by pretending to be injured and asking for their help. Most sources say that around 1974 he had started his murderous rampage. Around that same time, many women went missing around the Seattle Oregon area. Some of these women were last seen at Ted’s company. Ted had a girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer who was well known and helped police arrest him. Kloepfer and Bundy started a six-year relationship in 1969 after they met in a bar in Seattle. Bundy would say he would take care of her since Kloepfer was a single mother who had been struggling with alcoholism. By 1974 Kloepfer had suspected Bundy’s crimes, but when she would question his odd behaviors, like keeping a meat cleaver on his desk he would deflect her concerns by using his charm. Kloepfer then went to the police secretly with her suspicion of his involvement in prominent local murders because they didn’t believe that he was the killer. Kloepfer remained together with Bundy but they grew distant when he moved to Olympia the following year. In 1975, Kloepfer went back to the police with evidence that would help get Bundy arrested. Bundy then confessed to Kloepfer over the phone from his prison cell that he had tried to kill her but couldn’t resist his impulses when he felt “his sickness building in him”. Bundy had moved to Utah to attend law school, and women began disappearing there as well in the fall of 1974. The following year he got pulled over by the police, they searched his vehicle and he had a lot of burglary tools such as a crowbar, a face mask, rope, and handcuffs. He then got arrested for
