Ted Bundy was an American serial killer of the 1970s. He was arrested under the charge of murder, and kidnapping, of all his victims. After years of a lie, he finally confessed to about 30 murders between 1974 and 1978. Bundy was sentenced to jail in 1975 and was sent to jail in Utah. He had a child with his then-wife, Carol Anne Boone, whom they named Rosa Bundy. She and her mother are believed to have changed their identities shortly after Bundy’s execution.
Who can really blame them? The Amazon docuseries Falling for a Killer was based on the interviews of Ted’s victims and survivors like Karen Sparks. The series makers also interviewed his Ex-girlfriend Liza Kendall.
Early Life, Education, and Family (Parents and Siblings)
Ted Bundy was born on November 24, 1946, toEleanor Louise Cowell in Vermont. His birth certificate names his father Lloyd Marshall, who was a US Air Force Veteran and a salesman.
However, there are speculations about his father that he is the son of Jack Worthington who abandoned his mother after she became pregnant. But no evidence was there to prove this speculation true. He spent his three initial years in Philadelphia, at his maternal grandparents’ home.
To avoid stigma around the birth outside of wedlock, he was told that his maternal grandparents are his parents and his mother is her older sister. However, he came to know the truth after finding his birth certificate, as he told biographers, Stephen Michaud, and Hugh Ainsworth.
Ted developed a disturbing behavior at an early age, in an instant, he was found smiling by her maternal aunt when she woke up and saw herself surrounded by knives.
In 1950, Ted left Philadelphia with his mother to move to her cousin’s house in Tacoma, Washington. A year later, his mother met Johnny Bundy and married him after which Johnny officially adopted Ted.
Ted remained distant from his stepfather even though he tried to include him in family campings since he said that Johnny was not his real father(as he told his girlfriend).
His recollection of memories to the Biographers varied, he told Michaud and Aynesworth that he roamed the neighborhood to collect trash barrels to get pictures of naked women while he told Polly Nelson that he pursued detective magazines, novels, and documentaries of sexual violence.
As an adolescent, he preferred to be alone since he did not understand interpersonal relations. He attended Woodrow Wilson High School where his classmates say that they don’t know what underlays his social interactions. During high school, he was arrested twice for auto theft and burglary.
Ted Bundy Daughter,Rosa Bundy was born on October 24, 1982. There is very little information available about Rosa. She is 37 years old. It is believed that she and her mother changed their identities to waive off the name of her infamous murderous father.
She maintains a low profile and is under a low-radar profile. During the imprisonment days of her father, she was not to visit her till his execution.
Ted proposed to Carol during his murder trial. She immediately accepted the proposal, and they got officially married shortly after. The couple was married for six years (1980-1986). Three years after their divorce, he was executed.
Ted Bundy’s Wife and Daughter Picture
Girlfriend
Elizabeth Kendall dated Ted Bundy from 1969-1974. She first time got the opportunity to speak in front of the media in 2021. When the filmmaker, Trish Wood, of the Amazon Ted Bundy’s series “Falling for a Killer” approached she spoke to her relief. She seems to have been quite fascinated to know about the project. She claimed that Ted was a “bad boyfriend”.
Years at University
After he graduated from school in 1965, he attended the University of Puget Sound for a year before enrolling at the University of Washington.
In 1967, he was romantically involved with a classmate from the university, who was pseudo-named in his biographies but was most commonly known as Stephanie Brooks. Ted Bundy dropped out of college in 1968 and started working at minimum wage jobs.
During that time, he also volunteered for the presidential campaign of Nelson Rockefeller in Seattle and started working as a driver for Arthur Fletcher and eventually as the bodyguard of Arthur during his Lt Governor campaign in Washington State.
In August 1968, he attended the Republican Convention held in Miami. Soon her girlfriend broke up with him and returned to her hometown California after which he was left devastated and traveled to Colorado and farther east and visited his relatives and later enrolled in the first semester at Temple University.
In early 1969, he visited the Office of birth records located in Burlington to confirm his parentage. By the end of 1969, Ted Bundy met Elizabeth Kloepfer, a single mother who worked at UW School of Medicine. Her daughter, then three, treated Ted as a father.
Ted was arrested when she was 10 and she described how he was sexually inappropriate with her in the name of playing games. In mid-1970, he enrolled as a Psychology major at the University of Washington, he soon became an honor student and was well-regarded by his university professors.
In 1971, he started working at the Suicide Hotline Crisis Center in Seattle, where he met Ann Rule, a former police officer of Seattle and an aspiring crime writer, who later wrote a book on Ted Bundy, however, she found nothing absurd bout him and described him as kind and empathetic.
After completing his graduation from UW in 1972, Ted joined the re-election campaigns of Governor Daniel J Evans. After posing as a college student, he shadowed Albert Rosellini, Evans’ opponent. He was later appointed to the Crime Prevention Advisory Committee of Seattle by Evans.
After Evans was re-elected as the Governor, Ted was appointed as the assistant to Ross Davis, who was the chairman of the Washington State Republican Party. Davis considered him smart, aggressive, and a believer in the system.
In 1973, Ted Bundy was admitted to the law school of UPS and the University of Utah on recommendation letters from Davis and Evans even though his LSAT scores were low.
During the summer of 1973, while on a visit to California on Republican Party business, he rekindled his relationship with his former girlfriend Brooks.
She was awestruck by his demeanor as a serious and dedicated professor. However, Bundy continued to date both Brooks and Kloepfer and none of them were aware of the fact.
Brook flew to Seattle several times to meet Ted and they discussed marriage Ted introduced her as his fiancee to Davis. However, in January 1974, he abruptly broke off with Brook, and her calls and messages went unanswered. Later, he revealed that everything was planned as a return to the breakup she did in 1968.
Although there is no evidence to prove when Ted Bundy committed his first murder, however, he told Nelson that he did his first kidnapping in 1969 in New Jersey but he did not kill anyone until 1971.
Contrary to his earlier statement, he told psychologist Art Norman that he murdered two women in 1969 while he was on a visit to his relatives in Philadelphia.
He hinted to detective Robert Keppel that he murdered a woman in 1972 in Seattle and murdered another woman in 1973, however, he refused to elaborate on how he murdered them. Rule and Keppel came to believe that he might have started committing crimes while he was a teenager.
The first documented homicide by Bundy was committed in 1974 when he was 27. In January1974, Ted Bundy entered the apartment of Karen Sparks, an 18-year-old dancer, and student at UW.
After beating her with a metal rod he sexually assaulted her with the same rod causing severe internal injuries. She was unconscious for about ten days but later survived with physical and mental disabilities.
On February1, 1974, he broke into the room of Lynda Ann Healy, beat her to unconsciousness and dressed her in jeans, a blouse, and boots, and carried her with him. In the first half of 1974, female students of the university disappeared at a rate of one per month.
In March1974, Donna Manson disappeared while going to a jazz concert. On April 17, Susan Elaine disappeared while returning to her room from the advisors’ meeting. Two females reported encountering a man wearing a sling asking for help to carry a load of books to his car.
On May17, Roberta Kathleen Parks disappeared while on her way to have coffee with her friends. The investigators from the city and King County were concerned about the matter but there was no evidence to track the disappearances since the victims were nothing similar except being young, white, and college students.
On June 1, Brenda Ball disappeared near Seattle Tacoma International Airport, she was last seen in the parking lot. On June 11, G. Hawkins disappeared. Ted later said in his confession that he lured Hawkins to his car and made her unconscious and drove 20 miles away from Seattle, where he strangled the girl and spent the night with her body.
After Hawkins’ disappearance was made public, witnesses reported that they saw a man in the alley behind a nearby dormitory and he was struggling hard to carry the heavy suitcase. A female witness reported that the man asked her for help to carry the brief to his car, a light brown Beetle.
At the same time, Ted Bundy was working in Olympia as the AD of the Crime Prevention Advisory Committee of Seattle. Later, he started working at the Department of Emergency Services where he met Carole Ann and began dating her.
Pressure on law enforcement agencies increased abruptly after all the disappearances were made public but due to lack of evidence they were unable to take any action and the little information with the police was not disclosed to the reporters.
Similarities like disappearance time and site and clothes were noted to find the clues, at many crime spots a man wearing a sling and driving a tan or brown Beetle was spotted.
Ted Bundy murder
On July 14, the series of murders reached the climax after the abduction of two females from a crowded beach in the daylight. Some witnesses described that a young man wearing the tennis outfit introduced himself as ‘Ted’ and asked them for help in unloading a sailboat from his car.
Four females refused him while one accompanied him to his car but fled away when she spotted no sailboat. Three more witnesses saw him approach Janice Anne Ott with his fake story and saw her leave the beach to help him. Four hours later, Denise Naslund left for the restroom but never returned.
King County police, after getting a detailed description of the prime suspect, posted the fliers across the city of Seattle. A sketch was printed in the local newspaper and broadcast on the local news channels.
Kloepfer, Rule, a DES employee, and a UW professor recognized him and reported Ted Bundy as the suspect, however, detectives believed that a law student with no criminal record can be a suspect.
In September, two bird hunters came across the skeletal remains of Ott and Naslund in Issaquah and reported them to the police. Later, the remains of Hawkins were found in the nearby area.
Six months later, a student of Green River College found the skulls of Healy, Rancourt, Ball, and Parks on the Taylor mountain peak where Bundy hiked frequently. However, Manson’s remains were never discovered.
Idaho, Utah, Colorado
In August 1974, Bundy after receiving acceptance from the University of Utah Law School shifted to Salt Lake City.
Ted Bundy continued his relationship with Kloepfer but dated more than a dozen women at the same time. While attending the first year the second time, he found the class completely incomprehensible.
He again started murdering women after a month. In September 1074, he kidnapped, raped, and strangled a hitchhiker in Idaho, she is still unidentified.
In October, he kidnapped Nancy Wilcox in Utah and informed investigators that her remains are buried near Capitol Reef National Park, however, they were never found.
Again in October, the daughter of the police chief of Midvale was abducted and her nude body was discovered after nine days in the nearby mountains.
On October 31, Laura Ann disappeared and her body was found on Thanksgiving Day in American Fork Canyon. Both girls were beaten, raped, and then strangled to death.
On November 8, Ted approached Carol DaRonch and asked her to accompany him to the police station since someone broke into his car. When she noticed Ted driving on a different route, she pointed it out to him.
In an attempt to prevent her from escaping, Ted tried to handcuff her but inadvertently put the handcuffs on the same wrist and so she was able to open the car and escape. On the same evening, Debra Jean Kent vanished while leaving to pick up her brother.
One of the school teachers and a student reported to the police that a man asked them to accompany him to the parking lot to identify a car. He was again spotted by the teacher in the auditorium. Later, the investigators found the key to unlocking DaRonch’s handcuffs outside the auditorium.
Kloepfer reported Bundy thrice to the police but they considered the Lake Sammamish witness more reliable, however, she failed to identify Ted Bundy from the pictures.
Ted Bundy came to Seattle after his final exams to spend a week with Kloepfer, however, she did not tell him that she had called the police thrice. In August, she made a plan to visit Ted in Salt Lake. In 1975, Ted shifted his criminal activities to Colorado.
On January 23, Caryn Campbell vanished while walking in a hallway. Her body was found after a month next to a road outside the resort. On March 15, Julie Cunningham disappeared and on April 6, Denise Lynn Oliverson disappeared.
In May, he lured Lynette Culver and later assaulted and murdered him and disposed of her body in the river. In Mid-May, three DES co-workers visited Ted and stayed with him for a week. He later spent a week of June with Kloepfer in June and she again did not mention her discussion with the investigators.
On June 28, Susan Curtis vanished, her murder was the last murder he confessed. Bundy, by August or September 1975, was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ, however, he was excommunicated from the Church following his 1976 kidnapping conviction. While preparing a list of suspects, detectives found Bundy at the top place.
Arrest and Trial
On August16, 1975, He was arrested by the Highway Patrol Officer named Bob Hayward from Granger, a Salt Lake City suburb.
Hayward observed an overspeeding car after seeing a patrol car and noticed some items kept on the seats of the car which he initially assumed were the burglary tools. He explained to the police that the masks are for skiing and the rest are household items.
In search of Bundy’s apartment for evidence, Police found a guide to Colorado Ski Resorts and a brochure of Viewmont High School from where Kent disappeared. However, they did not get enough evidence to detain Bundy.
Bundy later informed them that they have missed a collection of Polaroid pictures of his victims that he destroyed following his release. Bundy was now kept on 24-hour surveillance and Thompson and two more detectives flew to Seattle to interview Kloepfer.
She informed them that she found objects that she couldn’t understand in her and Bundy’s house after Bundy left for Salt Lake City. Bundy was in debt and she believed that he had stolen all the items that he currently possessed.
Detectives confirmed from her that Bundy was not with her on the night the victims disappeared, nor on the day of the daylight abduction. She learned from the detectives about Brooks and their engagement on Christmas 1973.
In September of that year, police found his Beetle and found the hair samples matching the hairs obtained from Campbell’s body.
In October, detectives put Bundy in front of the witnesses to identify him and they identified him with different identities he told them.
Ted Bundy Killed many Girl
There was enough evidence to charge him with kidnapping, assaulting, and murdering DaRonch. However, he was freed on $15,000 bail paid by his parents. He lived in Seattle between his indictment and trial and was kept on surveillance.
In November, three investigators met in Aspen and discussed the matter with thirty other investigators from five states. At the end of the meeting, investigators were convinced that Ted Bundy in the murderer they were looking for and agreed upon finding more evidence to charge him with murder.
In February 1976, Ted Bundy underwent trial for the DaRonch kidnapping. On the advice of a jury member, he waived his right to a jury due to the negative publicity of the case.
After a four-day trial, he was found guilty of kidnapping and assault and was sentenced to one to fifteen years in Utah State Prison.
In October, he was found hiding in the bushes of the prison with an escape kit. In the same month, he was charged with murdering Campbell. He was transferred to Aspen in January 1977.
Escaping from the Court-House Library and Garfield County Jail
In June 1977, Ted Bundy was transported to Pitkin County Courthouse from Garfield County Jail for a preliminary hearing. While serving as his own attorney, a court judge excused him from wearing handcuffs or leg shackles.
During the break time, he took permission to visit the courthouse library to research his case. When he noticed that he was not being shielded by the guards he opened the window and jumped from the second floor to the ground while injuring his ankle.
He removed the outer layer of clothing and roamed through Aspen to avoid the roadblocks set up on the outskirts to search him.
While walking south on Aspen Mountain, he broke into a cabin and stole food, clothes, and a rifle. On the next day, he left the cabin to continue walking in the south towards Crested Butte town, however, he was lost in the forest.
For the next two days, he wandered there aimlessly missing the roads to his destination. On June 10, he broke into a camping trailer on the Maroon Laake, stole food and a ski parka, and started heading back towards Aspen escaping roadblocks and search parties.
After three days, he stole a car near Aspen Golf Course and drove back to Aspen City since he was severely sleep-deprived and in pain due to injury. Two police officers noticed the car moving out of the lane and pulled him over.
The officer found maps of the Aspen Mountains in his car that were being used to discover Campbell’s remains and understood that his escape was planned rather than spontaneous. Bundy was again sent to the Glenwood Springs jail where he ignored the advice of his friends and advisors.
While his case was weakening, he gathered another plan to escape from the G\arfield County jail. He somehow acquired the floor plan of the jail along with a hacksaw blade from inmates and got $500 in cash.
In the evening, while other inmates were taking showers, he sawed a hole of about one square foot in the cell ceiling and crawled through it in the space above it. For the next few weeks, he did trial runs and explored the space.
In late 1977, Bundy’s trial became a heated topic of conversation in the city while Bundy filed for the change of venue to Denver.
On December 23, he was granted the request, but to Colorado Springs. On December 30 when most of the staff was on Christmas break, he piled the books and files on his bed and covered them with the blanket to make it look like he was sleeping, and went through the crawl space.
After crawling through the narrow space, he broke into the apartment of the chief jailer while he was out with his wife, changed his clothes from the wardrobe, and walked out of the front door.
He stole a car and drove to the east of Glenwood Springs but the car broke down on the mountains in Interstate 70. However, a passerby gave him a ride to Vail and from there he took a bus to Denver and from there boarded a flight to Chicago.
In Glenwood Springs, his escape remained undiscovered until 31st December noon and by then Bundy had already reached Chicago.

Florida Trials and Marriage
From Chicago, Bundy took a train to Ann Arbor in Michigan. Five days later, he again stole a car and drove to Atlanta where he again took a bus and reached Florida on January 8. There he rented a room alias Chris Hagen, near the Florida State University campus.
Bundy thought that he would find a legitimate job in the city and refrain from Criminal activities but his job application was rejected since he could not present his identity. After getting rejected, he returned to his shoplifting and stealing habits.
On January 15, 1978, he entered Chi Omega house, a women’s fraternity, through the rear door having a faulty lock.
At 2:45 am, he bludgeoned Margaret Bowman and garroted her with a stocking. He then entered Lisa Levy’s bedroom and beat her to unconsciousness, strangled her, tore one of her nipples and bit deeply into her buttock, and sexually assaulted her.
In the next room, he saw Kathy Kleiner and attacked her, and broke her jaw. He also attacked Karen Chandler, but both women survived the attacks.
After this Bundy escaped but the sorority sister Nita Neary saw him. The detectives saw that the four attacks took place within just fifteen minutes while the witnesses heard nothing.
After leaving the house, he broke into another apartment that was eight blocks away and attacked Cherly Thomas, fracturing her jaw and shoulder in five places. She was left deaf which damaged her dance career.
On February 8, Bundy drove to Jacksonville and stole a van. In the parking area, he approached Leslie Parmenter who was the daughter of the Chief of Detectives of the Police Department, however, he retreated after seeing his brother coming.
In the same afternoon, he drove back to Lake City, where at a Junior High School, Kimberly Dianne was summoned by a teacher to bring a forgotten purse, however, she never returned to the class.
Seven weeks later, her mummified remains were found in the Suwannee River State Park. She appeared to have been raped and then killed by a knife. On February 12, Ted Bundy was left with insufficient cash to pay his overdue rent and with a suspicion that police were closing in on him, he stole a car and drove to Tallahassee.
Three days later, he was stopped by David Lee, a Pensacola police officer after a wants and warrants check. When the officer told him that he was under arrest, Ted kicked him in the leg and started running.
The officer fired warning shots and then chased and caught him. The two struggled over his gun before he finally subdued Ted and arrested him. In the car, the IDs of the murdered students and a TV set were found.
While Lee was taking Bundy to jail, he was unaware of the fact that he had just arrested the most wanted murderer, he heard Bundy saying “I wish you had killed him”. In June 1979, after a change of venue to Miami, Bundy stood for trial for Chi Omega homicides.
Bundy stood for his own defense even though the court had appointed five attorneys. In his book, Nelson wrote, ‘While Ted was facing murder charges but all that mattered to him was that he be in charge. During the trial, testimony came from sorority members Connie Hastings and Nita Neary.
In less than seven hours, a jury convicted Bundy for the murders of Bowman and Levy, three attempted first-degree murders and two burglaries. The trial judge Edward Cowart gave Ted Bundy the death sentence for the murder convictions.
After six months, another trial was held in Orlando for the murder of Leach, and Bundy was again found guilty. During the penalty phase, he took advantage of the law and declared that he is legally married to Carole Anne Boone after asking her for marriage.
On February 10, 1980, Bundy was again sentenced to death, and as soon as the sentence was announced he shouted “Tell the jury they were wrong!”In October 1982, Carole Anne Boone and Bundy became parents to a daughter Rose.
Death Row Confessions and Execution
After the Leach trial, Bundy was interviewed by Stephen Michaud and Hugh Ainsworth.
He recounted his stealing and confirmed Kloepfer’s suspicion that everything he possessed was stolen by him and stated that those possessions were important for rapes and murders and sexual assault fulfilling his wish to completely possess his victim.
He said that at first, he killed the victims to get rid of his fear of being caught, however, later murder became an adventure for him.
In 1984, two hacksaw blades hidden in Bundy’s cell were found by the prison guards. After a few months, an unauthorized mirror was found following which he was shifted to another cell.
In October 1984, Bundy contacted Keppel and offered him his expertise in serial killing psychology. Keppel and Dave Reichert, a detective, interviewed him.
Keppel later published the brief documentation of the interviews and also collaborated with Michaud for the examination of the interview material.
In April 1986, after the announcement of his execution date, he confessed to Hagmaier and Nelson details of how he murdered his victims and what he did to them. He explained how he revisited several victims after their death to spend time with their bodies and perform sexual acts.
He explained that in Utah, he applied makeup to lifeless Smith’s face and repeatedly washed Aime’s hair and made them whatever he wanted them to be.
Less than 15 hours before execution time, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals stayed it indefinitely and sent the case for review based on technicalities including Bundy’s mental conditions following which a new date was given for the Leach trial.
In May 1988, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Ted Bundy, however, in December the Supreme Court denied the ruling. After ruling out the motion to review, a new execution date was announced and courts moved him as fast as they could.
With no motivation to deny his crimes, Bundy agreed to speak about the crimes truthfully to the investigators. He described the victims and their remains and also the crime spots where the remains were found. He confessed to the detectives about the additional homicides including the ones that were not known to the police.
When it became clear that there would be no further stays, Bundy’s supporters looked for the only option they were left with, they petitioned Governor Bob Martinez for postponing the execution saying that this will give time to Bundy to reveal more information.
However, contrary to this governor said that there will be no further delay in the case. Meanwhile, Boone felt betrayed and guilty and so left for Washington with her daughter and also did not accept his call.
Ted Bundy was then executed on January 24, 1989, in Raiford Electric Chair. His last words were directed to his attorney “Jim and Fred, I’d like you to give my love to my family and friends”.
As the execution was under process, many of the families and revelers danced and set off the fireworks outside the prison and cheered as the white hearse containing his ashes departed from the prison. His remains were scattered at an undisclosed location in Washington according to Bundy’s will.
Undergoing Psychiatric Examinations
Ted Bundy underwent several psychiatric evaluations, however, the conclusions given by experts varied. Psychiatry professor Dorothy Lewis, initially diagnosed Bundy with bipolar disorder, however, he later changed his conclusion, she also hinted at the possibility of a personality disorder based on his interviews.
However, the majority of evidence did not indicate any kind of bipolar disorder or any other mental issues. Prior to his Chi Omega trial, after confessing to thirty murders, he was given the opportunity to take responsibility for the murders, and if took the responsibility at the time he would have been spared from the death penalty.
