Theodore Bundy

In my opinion among all the serial killers I have learned about, Theodore Bundy is one of the best.

Ted Bundy was born in November of 1946, in Vermont. He was aid to have a pretty stable "at home life" but he began to start being slightly disturbed in is youth by stealing things or peering through people's windows. To get to the interesting part Ted Bundy was/is a well known rapist/serial killer, there is no exact time as to when his killings started but it had definitely begun in the early 1970's (which is when he was attending University). His killings were said to have begun after his tragic breakup with his girlfriend.

The whole created in the ceiling
is how Ted escaped prison
Ted was said to be a very charming an intelligent man he graduated from university and attended law school. Although he was convicted in 1975 of raping and killing over 30 females, he was able to escape out of prison and get a head start from the police. He once again continued raping and killing messily two other girls. I feel as if he knew he would get caught once again and just wanted the abnormal satisfaction of killing one last time. After being caught he had received the death penalty and was killed in January of 1989.

Ted's murder kit
Ted was by far one of the smartest killers of all time, he was said to have most definitely killed more women then he was convicted of. Ted to me was highly intelligent but most definitely corrupt, his killings seem to have been a job for him, he had taken it very seriously. As I have explained in previous blogs Ted seemed to definitely be the organized type of killer. He had planned things well ahead, picked out his victims and even had a "murder kit".

It's almost incomprehensible how someone was raised supposedly well and in good hands but can turn out so vicious even from childhood. I would say life does that to you, as in maybe it was all cause of his breakup with his girlfriend that he was said to be madly in love with but that would be insane of me because no one with a non psychopathic mind should react in this way. Even so, Ted was said to be disturbed at a young age but did not show actual signs of possibly mental illness till his teens, which might bring up the topic of possible birth with psychosis.

The only downfall to his killings was simply that he had done it so many times he got comfortable he even stated "It's like changing a tire, the first time you are careful, but by the 30th time you forget where you left the wrench." He talked about killing as if it was nothing he did not feel remorse, he did not care, he once stated when asked if he felt guilty that he does not and feels bad for those who feel any type of guilt at all.

He was quite a confused person and is scary to think that there are people out there like that, and that are so capable of covering it up with charm and intelligence like Ted.

  1. I think everyone has heard of the notorious serial killer Ted Bundy. But I did not know much about who he was and what he has done specifically. I was surprised to know that he lived in a good home and was very intelligent but at a young age he stated to show disturbing signs... Very interesting blog Keep it up!

    1. It is rare that someone doesn't know who Ted is, I mean he even has a whole movie about him. He is so popular that a lot of other killers follow in his footsteps and styles of killing, unfortunately. Ted Bundy is definetly one of the most iconic killers, he was highly intelligent and with his charm he was able to gain the trust of his victims before killing them. he was the predator his victims were prey. I'm glad I could inform you more about him as a person.
