Ted Bundy was born Theodore Robert Cowell on November 24, 1946, to Eleanor Louise Cowell (1924–2012, known by her middle name) at the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers in Burlington, Vermont. "Ted," she wrote, "was the very definition of heartless evil." Bundy was executed at Florida State Prison in Raiford on January 24, 1989.īiographer Ann Rule described Bundy as "a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure from another human's pain and the control he had over his victims, to the point of death and even after." He once described himself as "the most cold-hearted son of a bitch you'll ever meet," a statement with which attorney Polly Nelson, a member of his last defense team, agreed. For the Florida homicides, he received three death sentences in two trials. Facing murder charges in Colorado, he engineered two dramatic escapes and committed further assaults in Florida, including three murders, before his ultimate recapture in 1978. He then became a suspect in a progressively longer list of unsolved homicides in several states. In 1975, Bundy was arrested and jailed in Utah for aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault. On a few occasions, he broke into dwellings at night and bludgeoned his victims as they slept. He decapitated at least twelve victims and kept their severed heads as mementos in his apartment. Bundy often revisited his victims, grooming and performing sexual acts with the corpses until decomposition and destruction by wild animals made any further interactions impossible. He would typically approach his victims in public places, either feigning a physical impairment such as an injury, or impersonating an authority figure, before bludgeoning them into unconsciousness and taking them to secondary locations to be raped and strangled. īundy was regarded as charismatic and handsome, traits that he exploited to win the trust of both his victims and society as a whole. Bundy's true victim total is unknown, and is likely significantly higher.
After more than a decade of denials, he confessed to 30 murders he committed in seven states between 19.
