No one is a true " born murderer ". It is this Ted Bundy who committed more than 30 murders. In fact, looking back on his life, just like the judge said in the verdict: " You should have been A young man with a boundless future, but you have chosen another path ." So, what is the reason for him to choose another path?
In an exclusive interview with reporters, Ted Bundy believed that whether it was himself or many of his inmates, most of them took the road to crime because they were addicted to all kinds of pornography. Obviously, this analysis cannot be too convincing, because almost everyone will inevitably come into contact with these things in the process of growing up in their lives, but most of them have not become Ted Bundy’s. Look like.
The psychologist who did personality analysis for Ted Bundy believes that his childhood abandonment by his father may have contributed to his final crime, but Ted denies this, and he even thinks it is simply nonsense. talk. As Ted who also obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology, he has a certain ability of self-analysis. It should be said that he knows whether his biological father has any influence on him. He said no, maybe it is really not because his biological father abandoned him. At the time, he was just born.
It should be said that compared to being abandoned by his biological father and being abandoned by his first love girlfriend, it may be a fatal blow to Ted. In Ted’s self-description, he was originally a bad-spoken person, but with his handsome appearance, he was in college. Accidentally captured the heart of a wealthy girl, which made Ted’s self-confidence in him unprecedentedly high. In his own words, she made me know more about my extraordinary place . After that, he not only participated in the Republican presidential election. His propaganda team had also practiced in the police department’s department for female crimes. The ideal of participating in politics began to grow wildly in his heart, and becoming a lawyer is undoubtedly an important weight on the road to participating in politics in the future.
However, he was shocked by the fact that in the process of applying for law school, Ted did not get his wish to enter a prestigious university, which not only disappointed his originally optimistic teachers and classmates, but also made his rich girlfriend gradually away from him. In the summer of 1973, Ted, who wanted to be in the upper class society, completely lost his direction in life.
In April 1974, a girl named Linda from the University of Washington began to disappear mysteriously, and several female college students disappeared in the following months, which caused panic in the neighborhood of Seattle. During the police investigation, a man who claimed to be Ted became the number one suspect. To the surprise of the police, a girl took the initiative to confess to the police that her boyfriend was suspected of committing the crime, and his name was Tai. De Bondi. However, when the police showed Ted’s photo to witnesses, they almost all denied it was this person. In addition, Ted Bundy was a college student at the time and had no previous convictions, which made the police give up on him. Further investigation.
Ted, who was lucky enough to escape, chose to go to Utah to continue his law studies. The move to move from Seattle to Utah made Ted’s friends feel puzzled. However, in hindsight, Ted should have been Feeling the attention of the police, and the bloodthirsty and addicted Ted has been unable to control himself, he must find the next hunting ground.
In the fall of 1974, not long after Ted Bundy arrived in Utah, three consecutive disappearances of young women occurred in Utah. On November 8, 1974, when the fourth kidnapping was carried out, Teddy After a miss, the girl broke free and went straight to the police station to call the police. But what is surprising is that Ted did not stop there. Instead, four hours after the attempted kidnapping, he kidnapped two other girls. This time, he left one at the crime scene. Key to handcuffs.
At the same time that Ted was committing crimes frantically in Utah, a group of students found the remains of many people on the Taylor Mountain in Seattle. After investigation, they were the girls who had disappeared before.
On January 12, 1975, in a resort in Colorado, a girl named Karen Campbell disappeared from the hotel. 36 days later, her remains were found five kilometers away. Soon after, two other people in Colorado The girl also mysteriously disappeared and her body was not found. Due to the lack of information exchange between the police departments of the states at that time, although so many murders with similar modus operandi occurred, everyone did not check and compare evidence clues with each other. This greatly extended the days of Ted Bundy's impunity, but an accident changed everything.
In Salt Lake City, Utah, at two o'clock in the morning one day, a police officer on patrol found that the lights of a Volkswagen Beetle were not turned on during the driving process. It was stopped, and the driver in the car was Ted Bundy. At first, the police thought this was just an ordinary driving escape incident. Unexpectedly, when inspecting the Beetle, they found handcuffs, ice cones, face masks, bed sheets and other items, and these made the police suspect that this was called Ted. Young people, maybe related to the girl who disappeared before.
The police found the only girl who had escaped from Ted before and asked her to identify whether this person was the one who kidnapped him before. Behind the single-sided glass, the girl recognized Ted Bundy at a glance. It was the attempt that day. Kidnap yourself. The news made the police overjoyed, and they hurriedly gathered all walks of life to prepare for a good trial of Ted.
But what is surprising is that when preparing to go to court, Ted jumped out of the court window and ran away. After discovering that Ted was missing, the police rushed to the street and deployed control at various checkpoints, but found nothing. Then they organized a large number of manpower to search the mountain, but returned without success, but just a few days later, a patrolman stopped on the street. It was found that the man driving inside was Ted. It turned out that Ted stayed on the mountain for a few days. Because it was raining all the time and the weather was too cold, he had to run down the mountain and stole a car, but was arrested again.
However, the episode of this escape did not make the police aware of Ted's cunning. As a result, during the subsequent detention, Ted ran away from the ceiling of the cell again. The escape lasted for 45 days. During these 45 days, Ted came to the University of Florida community, killing two women one after another, and seriously wounding three people. On February 15, 1978, on a Florida highway, Ted was arrested for the third time for driving suspiciously.
Ted, who could have been released on bail, refused to explain his true identity, so the police had to temporarily detain him. Judging from the information on his stolen car and credit card consumption records, the police suspect that he may be related to the recent homicide at the University of Florida. After a long period of interrogation and exchange of terms, Ted finally confessed his true identity.
In view of the fact that Ted successfully escaped twice, the police can be said to be on the verge of an enemy this time. Three locks were installed on the door of Ted's cell alone. In the investigation and evidence collection, because the murderer's bite marks were left on the ass of the murdered girl, the police deliberately took Ted to the dentist and cast a mold of his teeth. It was this tooth mold that allowed the jury to finally find that Ted was guilty of murder and sentenced to death. In another murder trial, Ted was also sentenced to death.
Although Ted was sentenced to death in 1978, he was not officially executed in the electric chair until 1989. During this period, Ted married a female admirer of his in prison and gave birth to a daughter. Although he confessed to the crime he committed before his death, it did not save him from death. It is said that his last dinner was burritos, rice and salad. According to his will, his ashes will be scattered on the Cascade Mountains after his death, where he had spent the happiest time in his life!
