from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ted Bundy (born November 24, 1946 in Burlington , Vermont as Theodore Robert Cowell , † January 24, 1989 in Starke , Florida ) was an American serial killer and rapist who between 1974 and 1978 at least 30 young women and girls in the states Washington , Utah , Colorado , Oregon , Idaho, and Florida killed. After his arrest, he was sentenced to death and executed on the electric chair in Florida State Prison . He is one of the most famous serial killers in US history.

Ted Bundy (1980)

Life

Childhood and youth

Bundy's mother, Louise Cowell, gave birth to her son on November 24, 1946, in a home for unmarried mothers in Burlington, Vermont. Louise Cowell said her son's father was a war veteran named Jack Worthington, but Bundy never met. For the next four years, Bundy and his mother lived with his strictly Methodist grandparents, Samuel and Eleanor Cowell, in Philadelphia . In order not to be stigmatized by having an illegitimate child in the family at the time, Samuel and Eleanor Cowell posed as the birth parents of their grandson, and so Bundy initially grew up believing that his mother was his sister. It was not until years later that he could find out his mother's true identity on his birth certificate; his father was listed as "unknown" in the document. Samuel Cowell was seen as a bitter racist who beat women and tortured animals, but in retrospect he was glorified by his grandson. There was later speculation that Bundy's grandfather might actually have been his biological father. Bundy first began to experience behavioral problems when he was three years old when he put several butcher knives in his sleeping fifteen-year-old aunt's bed and grinned when she awoke in shock.

In 1950 Louise Cowell and her son moved to live with relatives in Tacoma , Washington State. She soon met John Bundy, whom she married in May 1951 and who adopted Ted. The couple had four children together: Linda (* 1952), Glenn (* 1954), Sandra (* 1956) and Richard (* 1961). The relationship with his adoptive father became increasingly tense, and Ted eventually refused to refer to John as his father.

Bundy attended Woodrow Wilson High School in Tacoma and was a good student, but also a loner who stood out for his unpredictable temperament and showed little interest in dating girls. To his great disappointment, he was not accepted into his school's basketball or baseball team. Instead, he began to ski, stole the necessary equipment and forged ski passes.

University years and political engagement

After graduating from school in 1965, he studied for a year at the University of Puget Sound before moving to the University of Washington in Seattle in 1966 to study Asian Studies. In addition, he took an intensive Chinese course at Stanford University , but his performance soon fell behind that of the other students. For a short time he took courses in urban planning, but was not successful in this subject either. In 1967 his first girlfriend, a fellow student, left him because she thought he was "immature".

In 1968 he broke off his studies at the University of Washington and took a semester at Temple University in Philadelphia. In the fall of 1969, he returned to Washington, where he entered into a relationship with Elizabeth Kloepfer and enrolled again at the University of Washington, this time in psychology. He also worked part-time on a suicide hotline. He was involved in the successful re-election campaign of the Republican politician Daniel J. Evans as governor of Washington and worked as a member of the Seattle Criminal Investigation Commission on a bill to ban hitchhiking . In 1972 he completed his psychology studies. He then took some law courses at the University of Puget Sound before moving to the University of Utah law school and converting to Mormonism .

Start of the series of murders in Washington and Oregon

It is uncertain when Bundy began his series of murders as he gave conflicting information. One of the most distant acts he confessed to was the murder of an unknown hitchhiker in May 1973 in Olympia . In 1974, the number of missing young women in Washington State increased. Lynda Healy, 21, was the first to go missing. On January 31, 1974, Bundy broke into her Seattle dorm and abducted her from her room. He drove her to Taylor Mountain, where he raped and killed her. On March 12, 1974, 19-year-old Donna Manson disappeared on her way to a concert, but police did not link her disappearance to Healy's.

Bundy's VW Beetle , in which he took his victims with him.

On April 17, 1974, 18-year-old Susan Rancourt disappeared on the way to a film screening in Ellensburg . A witness later reported to the police and reported that three days earlier she had encountered a man with a bandaged arm at the entrance to the library of Ellenburg's Central Washington State College who appeared to need help carrying his books. She then carried the books to his VW Beetle and noticed that the passenger seat of the car was missing. When the man had harshly asked her to get into the car, she ran away. Another missing person case came on May 6, 1974 in the US state of Oregon after the 22-year-old Roberta Parks did not return from a walk in Corvallis . On June 1, 1974, Brenda Ball disappeared on her way home from a pub in Burien . Ten days later, Georgann Hawkins' trail was lost on the way from a friend's house to their fraternity in Seattle. The Seattle Times reported for the first time of a possible connection to the Healy case. Witnesses also came forward who had observed a man on crutches at the scene of Hawkins' disappearance, whose description also matched the VW Beetle owner with the bandaged arm, who had been seen in Ellensburg on April 14, 1974.

The responsible police authorities investigated in all directions and met the suspicion emerging in the media that a serial killer might be at work, but with reluctance. This changed when, on July 14, 1974 , two young women, Janice Ott and Denise Naslund, disappeared from Lake Sammamish in King County . Among the estimated 40,000 people who had visited the lake that day, several witnesses were found who had seen a man in a sling approach young women and introduce himself as "Ted". Some of those addressed reported that the man had asked them for help loading his VW Beetle. Ott had seen another witness go with him. The police now had a pattern and a precise description of the suspect and initiated the public search for the Volkswagen driving "Ted". Thousands of calls were made to the authorities from the troubled population, investigating every suspicion they had raised. The received reference to the politically committed law student Ted Bundy was quickly ticked off as absurd.

Due to the similar circumstances of their disappearance and the same appearance of the eight missing women - all of them were young, attractive and had their long hair parted in the middle - the police now assumed a connection between the cases and recognized a temporal pattern: "Ted" was looking for his Victims at regular, approximately monthly intervals. But instead of the early news of the disappearance of a "Miss August" feared by investigators, the first corpses were not found until the beginning of September 1974. In a wooded area near Issaquah , hunters had come across human bones that could be assigned to Ott and Naslund with the help of x-rays and dental records. The remains of a third woman were also discovered at the location of the two missing persons, but she could not be identified. In March 1975, body parts of Brenda Ball, Susan Rancourt, Roberta Parks, and Lynda Healy were found scattered around Taylor Mountain near Issaquah.

Continuation of the series of murders in Utah

In the fall of 1974, the series of missing persons in Washington ended. The investigating police authorities therefore assumed that the killer had moved on. In fact, Bundy had moved to the University of Utah by the fall semester. On October 2, 1974, 16-year-old schoolgirl Nancy Wilcox, who was last seen in a passing VW Beetle, disappeared in a suburb of Salt Lake City . One year older Melissa Smith, daughter of the police chief in nearby Midvale , disappeared on the evening of October 18, 1974 after hitchhiking, according to witnesses. Smith's naked body was found in a ravine ten days later. The autopsy revealed a fractured skull and high blood loss. It could not be ruled out that the victim had lived up to a week after his disappearance. The coroner also found that Smith had been raped.

On Halloween night in 1974, 17-year-old Laura Aime disappeared after a party in Orem ; her body was found on November 27, 1974 in a mountain range near Salt Lake City. On November 7, 1974, 19-year-old Carol DaRonch was approached by a non-uniformed man in a shopping mall in Murray , who introduced himself to the local police as "Officer Roseland". He claimed DaRonch's car had been broken into and asked her to go with him to the station. After showing her a brand, DaRonch got into Officer Roseland's VW Beetle. While driving, the man suddenly tried to handcuff her and threatened her with a gun. However, DaRonch managed to jump out of the car while it was driving and she filed a complaint with the Murray Police Department. That same day, Debra Kent, who had attended a play at Viewmont High School in Bountiful a few miles north of Murray with her parents and was last seen on the way to the school parking lot during the play's recess, disappeared . A 24-year-old teacher later told police that she noticed a handsome man sitting behind the Kents during the performance. The same man spoke to her several times before the start of the play and tried to lure her to the parking lot under an excuse.

Colorado murders

The nurse Caryn Campbell, who was skiing with her boyfriend in Snowmass near Aspen , disappeared on January 12, 1975. Witnesses had last seen the young woman alone on the way to her hotel room, but never got there. Her frozen body was found on a dirt road near Snowmass in March 1975. The inquest revealed a fatal traumatic brain injury from blunt force. Rape could neither be confirmed nor ruled out.

On March 15, 1975, the ski instructor Julie Cunningham disappeared in Vail without a trace. Denise Oliverson, 25, was last seen alive in Grand Junction on April 6, 1975 while riding a bike home after visiting her boyfriend. Her bike was later found under an overpass, and there was no trace of Oliverson himself.

Arrests

In the early morning hours of August 16, 1975, Bundy was stopped by a police patrol in Granger, Utah, because he had driven too fast in his VW Beetle and ran over several stop signs. When the police inspected his car, they noticed that the passenger seat was in the back seat. They also discovered several suspicious items including a crowbar, ice ax, handcuffs and a stocking mask, whereupon an arrest warrant was filed and Bundy was arrested on August 21, 1975 for possession of burglary tools. In the days leading up to his arrest, investigators had suspected Bundy might be responsible for the abduction of Carol DaRonch on November 7, 1974. During a comparison on October 2, 1975, DaRonch recognized the man in Bundy who had passed himself off as "Officer Roseland". Bundy was then charged with kidnapping and attempted murder, and his bail was set at $ 100,000. He spent the next seven weeks in jail until his bail was lowered to $ 15,000 and could be requested by his parents. The trial began in the Salt Lake City Courthouse on February 23, 1976 and ended on March 1, 1976 with a guilty verdict. Bundy has been sentenced to between one and 15 years in prison, with a first parole hearing in less than three years.

Bundy managed to escape for the first time on June 7, 1977 by jumping out of one of the windows on the first floor of the Pitkin County Courthouse .

While Bundy was serving his sentence in Utah State Prison , investigators worked to prove him murdering Caryn Campbell in Colorado. When the police searched his home, he found a ski pamphlet that had a cross marked with a cross on the Wildwood Inn where Campbell was staying. His credit card statement also showed that he had refueled on January 12, 1975, the day Campbell disappeared, in Glenwood Springs , 40 miles north of Aspen. In the trunk of the VW Beetle, the investigators also found a hair that had the same structure as Campbell's hair. After a witness reported who saw Bundy on crutches at the Wildwood Inn , Bundy was charged with the murder of Caryn Campbell in October 1976 and transferred to Colorado in January 1977.

Bundy insisted on defending himself. For this reason, at a court hearing on June 7, 1977 at the Pitkin County Courthouse in Aspen, he was allowed to move without handcuffs or ankle cuffs and to go to the courthouse law library during a hiatus. There he jumped out of a window on the first floor in an unobserved moment and fled. He hid in the mountains for a week before he ran into a police checkpoint with a stolen car and was arrested again.

In December 1977 he managed to escape again, this time from prison in Glenwood Springs. After at least three other murders in Florida, where he attacked the Sorority Chi Omega fraternity house, Bundy was caught again on February 15, 1978 and sentenced to death after a trial for three murders . He was convicted of bite marks on the victims, among other things by dental reports.

Prison and execution

While Bundy waited in prison for his lawyers to delay the execution of the death penalty, he was sentenced to death again in another trial. During the second trial, he married an administrative clerk Carole Ann Boone, with whom he remained married for eight years and fathered a daughter. Bundy was executed on January 24, 1989 at 7:16 am EST for triple murder in Florida State Prison. It was only the day before his execution that Bundy confessed to numerous other murders when interrogated by police officers in the states concerned. He also gave a television interview to psychologist James Dobson . Half an hour after his execution, a car with Bundy's body left the prison for the crematorium. A hooting crowd followed the vehicle.

Bundy's ashes were scattered in the mountains of the Cascade Range in Washington state as requested .

Course of the deeds

With his looks, charm and eloquence or even a semblance of authority by posing as a police officer, Bundy succeeded time and again in persuading women to accompany him to remote places. There he usually beat or strangled his victims to the point of unconsciousness in order to then rape them. In the end he strangled or slew the young women. He then dismembered the corpses and transported them over long distances to cover up traces. He would often return to the crime scene for masturbation . He often took his victims in a VW Beetle to the place where he killed them, for which purpose he took out the passenger seat so that he could better transport his victims.

Victim

The exact number of his victims is unknown. Bundy officially confessed to having committed 30 murders. However, the actual number of victims is estimated at 60 to over 100. In addition, several women fell victim to him, some of whom were seriously injured, and managed to escape. His victims were almost exclusively young, attractive women with their long hair parted in the middle. The remains of many of the victims attributed to Bundy's series of murders have not been found or identified. His known murder victims include:

Figure of media reception

Ted Bundy's images have been portrayed as the epitome of insanity in pop culture. He shares this with other serial killers, e.g. B. John Wayne Gacy or Jeffrey Dahmer , as well as the general public known felons such as Charles Manson .
