One of the most famous killers of all time, Ted Bundy vented his rage on women, mostly college girls, all the while maintaining the facade of a perfectly normal, intelligent, model citizen. His traveling ways, clever tactics, and thorough body disposal methods make it difficult to even say how many women Bundy killed during his reign, but he was definitely one of the most prolific and frightening serial killers of all time.

Bundy's rampage most likely megan with Kathy Devine, 15, a hitchiker who disappeared on November 25th,1973 and found on December 6th. She was sodomized, strangled, and her throat was cut. Lynda Ann Healy soon disappeared from her basement bedroom. In fact, women were disappearing throughout the upper Northwest, some abducted from their homes and some vanishing right off the street. Still other women had been simply attacked in their beds and most often left to die.

Washington investigators, where most of the abductions and attacks were centered, couldn't help but notice. In most cases though, there were no bodies, just missing women, so no true action could be justified. That all changed when a man identified as "Ted" by witnesses, abducted two women from Lake Sammamish State Park on the same day. Police had a finally had a name and witnesses to put with a disappearance. The discovery of the two women's remains about a month later, mixed in with the bones of other women, cemented the fact that a serial killer was on the loose. The hunt for Ted Bundy was on.

The unknown murderer continued killing despite the best efforts of law enforcement, however. Women soon began to come up missing in Colorado also. Bundy soon moved to Colorado to attend law school. It wasn't long before the abductions picked up where the Northwest's ended. But Bundy's luck finally ran out on August 16th, 1975 when Bundy was spooked by and fled from a squad car around Salt Lake. Arreested for possesion of burglary tools and released, it wasn't long before police noticed the similarities between Bundy and a man who had attempted to abduct Carol DeRonch previously. Bundy was son arrested for the attack, tried, and convicted.

It was fairly obvious at this point that Bundy was the man responsible for the killlings in the north, and when he was transferred to the Garfield county Jail in Colorado to await trial for the murder of Caryn Campbell. To the embarrasment of the police, he escaped out a second-story law library window. Bundy took to the woods and eluded the law for a few days until he was recaptured only to escape again from the Garfield County Jail on December 30th, with much more drastic results. He made his way to Tallahassee, Florida and settled near the Florida St. campus. While in Florida, Bundy killed several more women, including a horrifying blitz-style attack in a soroity house on the Florida St. campus that killed two young women, and the abduction of Kimberly Ann Leach, 12, from her school. She was found about two months later in a nearby state park.

Leach would be the final victim. Bundy was arrested for the final time in Pensacola, Florida after struggling briefly with a traffic cop. Despite Bundy's attempts to draw out his trials and appeals, acting as his own attorney much of the time, he was sentenced to death and executed on January 24th, 1989.
