Ted Bundy Your Future Lawyer

Eliška Sommerová

Ted Bundy or we should call him the handsome devil which he is also known for. He is also known for the numerous victims he has killed and for his law abilities.

Bundy was born in 1946 in Vermont to a poor family, his father left him at an early age, and his mother remarried which left him with a stepfather and half-siblings. This fact also brings the question if he had some unresolved trauma from his past.

The first known victim is Karen Sparks, which was brutally killed in January 1976, she was also sexually assaulted after her that, which makes Bundy necrophiliac. She was killed in her basement which is different from Bundy's usual type of killing.

The best-known trick Bundy used was taking young girls - mostly long-haired brunettes with a middle part to his car.

He used to trick them by telling the innocent girls that he is a police officer, or that he needed help with something, etc. Only one girl escaped his terror, her name is Carol Daronch who lately testify against Bundy in court.

He took away more than 30 innocent lives.

Bundy was arrested more than once, but he managed to escape from two prisons. Once he jumped out of the window of the court library, he was allowed to study in due to his previous lawyer studies, he was arrested 4 days after. Second time he escaped from his own cell through the hole behind the ceiling light, he had craved it. Bundy then stole some officers' uniforms and got out through the main gate of the prison, which is unbelievable. After this breakthrough he had killed several young girls from nearby university Omega Chi. Due to his reckless behavior he left many pieces of evidence (like tooth impressions, which were not commonly used as evidence in the 80s) on the crime scene which were later used against him at his final count.

As a law student he was allowed to defend himself in front of the judge and jury, which didn't get him any plus points, he acted arrogant and impolite. He even proposed to his girlfriend at the time to marry him in the middle of his hearing.

Unlucky for him, he was given multiple death penalties due to his final court being in Florida. He tried to plead insanity but it was too late. He was executed in Florida 24th of January in a local prison in Florida.
