Via murderfacts.tumblr.com
By far one of the most popular serial killers ever in the United States, Ted Bundy was a charming handsome young man who confessed to the murder of 35 young women. Experts guess that number to be false and to be well over a hundred. Ted was a smooth young man who would lure girls to his car by asking for help with his belongings while faking an injury. He would beat them unconscious with his fake arm cast and then drag them off to to be raped and murdered. His spree lasted for two years with dozens of young girls going missing in the areas he was stationed, including Utah, Florida, Colorado. The first time he was arrested in 1975 was for the kidnapping of one of the few girls to escape his grasps. During his trial he acted as his own lawyer. During a trip to the courthouse he jumped out of a window and escaped for 8 days until he was pulled over and brought back in. Two years later he made another escape, this time from his jail cell where he went unnoticed for 14 hours and had made his way to Florida where he killed 3 more girls before he was apprehended in 1978. Ted fought long and hard in court against the death penalty but was eventually sent to the electric chair a year later. To this day he is still a celebrity serial killer to Americans everywhere.
