And this time the movie tells the story of this chilling serial killer from the perspective of Ted's ex-girlfriend played by Lily Collins. This also makes many people feel that this is suspected of beautifying criminals. After all, it's the girlfriend's perspective.
So what is the most notorious female serial killer in American history?
The most cold-blooded animal in the world
Ted Bundy said he was "the coldest-blooded beast in the world", and the crime he committed exactly matched his own description.
In the summer of 1974, the police in the Pacific Northwest of the United States fell into panic. Female college students in Washington and Oregon have disappeared, and the number is increasing. The police have no idea about this.
In just 6 months, 6 women were kidnapped. The case of two young women disappearing for no reason on the crowded beaches of Samamish Lake State Park in broad daylight caused the area to panic.
But this time the boldest kidnapping also brought the police the first clue to solve the case. On the day of the disappearance of the two young women, several women reported that they had been tempted by an unknown man, but they were unsuccessful.
They told the police that this man was very charming, as long as his hands were tied with a sling. The car he drove was a Volkswagen Beetle, and he said his name was Ted.
After making the information public, the police received reports from four people who also pointed to a man living in Seattle: Ted Bundy. However, the police felt that this college student with no criminal history should not be a suspect, and he was excluded from consideration once.
It was this kind of judgment that allowed Ted Bundy to escape repeatedly and successfully commit crimes many times. He became one of the most notorious serial killers in American history, killing more than 30 women in the 1970s. (The real number is unclear)
At that time, he was playing with people in stocks, and people didn't doubt him at all. But as his lawyer of final trial said, "He is synonymous with extreme evil."
Ted Bundy’s Childhood
Ted Bundy was born in Vermont on the northwest coast of the United States, which will later become his crime base.
The mother was pregnant when she was a girl, and her grandparents felt very ashamed of this. Grandparents brought him up. He always thought that his mother was his own sister in his childhood. I didn't know the truth until after university.
Ted’s grandfather often beat and scolded Ted’s mother and her son, so they often had to go to relatives’ homes to take refuge. During this period, the mother met her stepfather and remarried with Ted. Ted didn't like his stepfather, saying that he was not smart and would not make money.
Little is known about Ted’s childhood, and he is ambiguous about his childhood memories. Although he himself said he was a teenager who loved to track women, people around him said that he was very rational when he was young and was very popular with others.
College time and the first crime
Ted Bundy entered Puget Sound University after graduating from high school in 1965, and transferred to the University of Washington to study Chinese language a year later. In 1968, after a brief drop out of school, he quickly changed his major to study psychology. During college, he traveled to the East Coast of the United States. It was during this period that he learned that the sister he had always thought was his own mother.
In 1973, Ted was admitted to the law department of Puget Sound University as a graduate student, but he stopped attending classes a few months after he went to school.
In January 1974, at this time, cases of bizarre disappearances of women began to appear on the Northwest Coast of the United States.
Tedi's crime was not murder, but sexual assault on an 18-year-old female college student from the University of Washington. Ted broke into the apartment, stunned her with a stick and sexually assaulted her. She was in a coma for 10 days and suffered a lifelong disability.
Ted Bundy committed the first crime in Seattle
After that, Bundy killed the first woman in his crime career: Linda Ann Haley, a female college student at the University of Washington.
Ted broke into Linda's apartment one morning, knocked her unconscious and moved her into the car. Since then, people have never seen Linda again. A part of her skull was found in the place where the body was thrown a few years later.
After that, Ted continued to target female college students in this area. And formed a pattern: pretending to be disabled or disguised, and then trick women to help him put things in the car, and then take advantage of the trend to kidnap and kill them.
What’s more photographable is that Ted Bundy will return to the place where he threw the corpse afterwards, and rape the corpses of these women, and the corpses at that time will be decayed and the skulls of these women will be preserved as himself. Of the loot, sleep with these skulls every night.
Ted said in an interview: "The crime is not because of desire or violence, but more because of wanting to possess a person, including their lives and bodies, and make them a part of themselves."
More crazy murders
In the summer and winter of that year, a total of 7 female students disappeared in Utah, Oregon, and Washington. All the victims were white, slender, living alone, with long hair, and they were dressed casually when they disappeared, and they were all at night. In October, the 17-year-old daughter of Utah State Police Chief Louis Smith was also missing. The body was found 9 days later, again using the same technique, strangulation, anal sex, and rape. Thirteen days later, Laura also disappeared . On Thanksgiving Day , the body was found by a river in the mountainous area. She was beaten on the head and face with an iron crowbar. She was also subjected to anal sex and rape. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. In all cases, the evidence seems to have been deliberately eliminated. The police departments of the three states started operations together. The only evidence at this time is a name "Ted" --- "Ted".
Bare feet
Lynn Banks was the best friend of Ted's girlfriend of Meg at the time. She read about the murder in the newspaper. After seeing the synthesized photos, she immediately thought that her boyfriend Ted might be the murderer. Meg felt so after seeing it, but she didn't believe that the man she loved would be a murderous demon. But after repeated hesitation, she finally decided to call the police.
However, due to the negligence of the police, this report was ignored. Ted escaped the police again. And on December 8th of that year, Ted acted again. This time the deceased was 18-year-old Carlo. He told Carlo that someone seemed to be stealing her car, so they went to the parking lot to see. Carlo thought this man was a bookstore clerk, so he had no doubts. When he arrived at the parking lot, the man told her that he was a police officer and asked her to go to the police station with himself to make a transcript. Carlo followed him in the car after seeing his badge. But Ted drove the car in the opposite direction . After a while, he stopped suddenly and she disappeared without even touching the car door. Later, the police found a bunch of handcuff keys in the parking lot and found that it was the one in Carlo's hand.
On February 12, 1975, the Carlins went to play in Colorado. At a hotel on the way, one night she found that she had forgotten to take the magazine, so she went back to her room to fetch it, and never came back since. After knowing it a month later, Carlin's naked body was found only a few miles away from the hotel. The cause of death was continuous blows to the head. A few months later, another female body was found 10 miles away from the place where the previous two female bodies were found, which was later confirmed to be Brenda. The cause of death was a blunt head injury. The police conducted a search in the Taylor Mountains and found another body. The deceased was Susan, and then two more bodies were found, one of which was Linda Ann Haley. The cause of death of the victims was very consistent, all of which were blunt head injuries. The number of dead is still rising, and 5 more women were later found to have died in Colorado.
Arrested and brought to justice
Until August 16, 1975, Utah Highway Patrol found a suspicious car. After he turned on the lights and approached, the car turned off the lights and started to escape. The police chased after him and ordered the driver to undergo interrogation. The driver's name is Theodore Robert Bundy. Then he and two other police officers searched the car and found a crowbar, ski mask, rope, handcuffs, electrical wires and an ice axe. Ted was arrested immediately. In subsequent inspections, the police found that Ted Bundy had many similarities with the suspect .
The police found that Ted Sui seemed to be living a double life , full of deception and infidelity. But despite increasing evidence against Ted, he still claims to be innocent. Due to insufficient evidence, the court only heard Carlo's case, and Ted appeared very relaxed and confident. When Carlo was crying and testifying against him, he stared at her coldly. Later, because of insufficient evidence, he was only sentenced to 15 years in prison and was able to be released on conditional parole.
In prison, Ted conducted a psychological evaluation. The doctor’s evaluation was "psychotic tendency, neuroticism, organic brain injury, alcoholism, drug abuse, forgetfulness, but there is no sexual deviation. " Other doctors pointed out that he was "strongly Depend on women". The unanimous assessment of doctors is that Ted always has a strong fear of humiliation about his relationship with women. At this time, the police found more evidence and decided to prosecute him for murder .
In 1977, Ted was transferred to Garfield County Prison to await his sentence. Ted became increasingly dissatisfied with his performance. He removed his lawyer and decided to defend himself in court. At this time, Ted had a certain amount of freedom, so he started planning to escape. In June, Ted succeeded in breaking out of prison. The prison organized a large-scale search and even used blood tracking dogs, but found nothing. Ted stole a car and escaped from the local search circle. But soon he was caught again and taken back to prison.
A few months later, Ted escaped from prison again. On December 30, he used the ceiling to climb to the other side of the building. He escaped this time until he was discovered the next afternoon, and 15 hours had passed by this time. This time he went to Chicago, his destination is the Buddha Lori reached. In mid-January 1978, he changed his name to Chris Hagen and lived in Flori. The neighbors didn't know about him. He spends a lot of his time wandering around the campus of Florida State University , occasionally sneaking into the classroom to listen to classes, and usually watching TV at home. At this time, stealing became another life for him .
The Floridian police were not very clear about Ted at this time, so they did not suspect him either. On February 9, the Lake City police received a call to the police saying that 12-year-old Kimberley was missing. Someone reported seeing her in a stranger's car. Eight weeks later, Kimberley's body was found, and the body was highly decomposed. Just a few days after Kimberley disappeared, Ted looked at the 14-year-old Leslie again. But soon Leslie's brother came, picked her up, and then copied down the license plate number. Their father, the sheriff, finally, with their identification and the help of the police shooting, Ted was arrested and brought to justice.
Trial
The trial of Ted took a long time and did not end until January 1980. He always defended himself. He was very confident and firmly believed that he would be acquitted. He even moved the jury for a while . But the testimony of the witness and the tooth mark he left on the victim eventually led to his conviction. January 23. He accepted the final verdict and was sentenced to death in an electric chair on the 31st .
He was sentenced to death three times in total. The total number of victims was 28, but many people believe that it is far more than that. This number may not be clear to Ted himself. He was finally executed by electrocution on January 24, 1989.
Funeral
There are a huge number of books, videos, and victims' self-reports about Ted Bundy, and he seems to have become the most famous serial killer in American history. He seems to be second to none in terms of quantity or brutality. He is even the prototype of "The Silent Lamb." The 2002 movie was named "Ted Bundy" directly after him. People who remembered his name in the 1970s have shuddered up to now.
Ted’s own confession in 1989 indicated that he liked to keep the victims drowsy for a long time before killing them, and he always buried the victims’ bodies in the same place, and then often went back to see them. He constantly emphasized to the police: "Killing them is not just to satisfy the need for violence, but to possess. When you watch the last breath of their bodies leave, you feel that they have become a part of yourself... Looking into their eyes, you feel like a god."
