Today in History - February 1, 1974 - Serial Killer Ted Bundy Strikes Again

Serial Killer Ted Bundy Strikes Again - February 1, 1974

     This killer made his way through three different states murdering women and eluding the authorities. He was known to wear a cast and drive a volkswagen. The day came when he finally met his fate.

   Here is an excerpt from www.history.com:


University of Washington student Lynda Ann Healy disappears from her apartment and is killed by Ted Bundy. The murder marked Bundy's entry into the ranks of serial killers as he had recently attacked his first victim, Sharon Clarke, in her Seattle home. By the time he was finally captured on April 27, 1979, Bundy had become America's most famous serial killer.
In the summer of 1974, Bundy attacked at least seven young women in Washington. Bundy's victims looked remarkably similar to each other: Nearly all of them had long, dark hair parted in the middle. Those who knew him said that he was very smart and personable and he used his charm to pick up his victims. In another gambit, he also used a fake cast on his arm to appear less threatening.
