Robert Bundy Biography
Blogs are a spare reader’s post, you can start writing on the site and you can also know a lot of terrible bloodthirsty killers, but if you ask one of the housewives to name the first one who comes to mind, with a high degree of probability you will hear the name Ted Banda. Why even today, 30 years after execution in an electric chair, is this maniac so famous?
Theodor's life Robert Bundy began somehow atypical for a serial killer. He was not raped by his stepfather, he did not force him to steal the food of the mother, and he did not strangle cats. Ted did not know her father - his mother gave birth to him at 19 and shortly after that she went out for a resident of Seattle John Bundy, a good guy who treated his child as his son.
Bandi’s school years are unremarkable - the boy studied well, played sports and was in the scout detachment. Having received secondary education, Ted entered the University of Seattle, but did not stay there for a long time - he transferred to Washington and began to study as a lawyer in the capital. It is quite obvious that Bundy had a remarkable mind and craving for knowledge, but could not find himself in life.
In the year, suddenly, he throws his studies on the legal and enters Stanford, to the Chinese language course. For two years, Ted devotes eastern philology, but he again changes the decision and goes to Philadelphia, where he continues to study as a lawyer. In parallel, the guy attends psychology courses, on which he becomes one of the best listeners. In the year, having finished with study, Ted Bundy gets up to work in the Center for Assistance to the Victims of Violence in Seattle.
He treated work very responsibly - he was on a good account with the authorities and even made a memo for the victims, which coordinated their actions. By the nature of their activities, Banda had to constantly move around the United States. Apparently during the business trips, he realized that he had committed a crime was not at all difficult to get lost in a huge and densely populated country.
The criminal was also divided into states when a significant part of the police powers ended at the border of the administrative unit. Bundy gave the impression of a very positive young man. The man was educated, had a well -suspended tongue and attractive appearance. Charm and acting talent helped the killer quickly find a common language with the victim and euthanize its vigilance.
At 28, Lett Ted Bundy committed his first murder. His victim was a student, summer Linda Ann Hilly. The maniac killed the girl right in her room in the hostel, not paying attention to the fact that there were many people around. The body, cut by a knife, on the blood impregnated with blood was discovered by a neighbor Hilly. After that, Bandi fell off from the chain - he began to kill regularly and the intervals between bloody crimes were from 2 weeks to 1.5 months.
As victims, Ted chose young, sociable girls, usually students whom he met at concerts, in bars and just on the street. Sometimes Bundy used acting talent. To his seventh victim, he approached the beach with a tied hand and a suffering grimace. The killer asked Janis Orr for help and she left the man from the coast. Of course, no one saw her more alive. On that day, July 14, Bandi killed two at once.
The second victim was Denius Nesland. She and Janis were found only after 2 months - both girls were raped and brutally killed. During the investigation, it turned out that on this day Bandi was especially active and met at least 10 girls. Each of them he seemed to be his real name - Ted. At the end of the summer of the year, Bundy quits work in the center of assistance and changes his place of residence.
Of course, soon a series of murders terrible in its brutality begins in the city. Before the murder of Debra, the maniac attacked another girl, Carol Ranch, but he managed to jump out of the car where Bandi lured her, posing as a policeman in civilian clothes. After the failure of Banda, realizing that he could now be identified in Utah, moved to Colorado. After the arrest, the maniac admitted that in this state, 4 girls, whom he killed from January to April, became his victims.
It is interesting that the ex -friend of Bundy, Elizabeth Kendall, learning from the media about the bloody reprisals against girls in different US states, repeatedly turned to the police with a statement that her former boyfriend could be the killer. A selection of "happy" photos of Liz and Ted with the daughter of Liz Molly. Photo by Liz with the daughter of Molly.
Obviously, the cops received many such signals from the girls offended by the guys and had no desire to check each signal. This indifference continued to cost young women throughout the country. During his bloody tour of the country, Ted has repeatedly intersected with the lawyers of the law, but always came out of the water dry. The maniac was almost exposed to the year of August.
On this day, police officer Robert Howard drew attention to the Volkswagen car, parked on the street with violation of the rules. A sleeping man was discovered in the car, presenting the rights in the name of Ted Banda.Having watched the car, the policeman discovered a strange set of objects: a ski helmet covering his face, small scrap, handcuffs and nylon stockings.
The finds did not alert Kopa and he, having written out a fine, retired. After a while, Ted was nevertheless detained as a suspect of murders and even identified by Carol Ranch, who managed to escape. But not one of the 10 girls who unsuccessfully met Bandi near the places of brutal murders was able to identify the maniac. As a result, Ted was accused of trying to abduct and released on a subscription to the will.
The talent for reincarnation helped Bandi in his crimes. He skillfully applied makeup, cheated on his hairstyle and had several pairs of glasses. To one of the victims, Jordanne Hawkins, the killer approached the crutches and with his foot in a plaster. Under Ted had a suitcase, which was very inconvenient to carry. The girl herself offered assistance and brought the mail to the murderer’s car.
After that, the maniac hit her on the head and took her into the forest, where he raped and cut off his head. A feature of Banda was that he tried to communicate as little as possible with his victims, since, having learned some details from their life, he began to see people in them and doubt. This was different from many other serial killers who, before committing a crime, sought to establish close contact with the victim, chat and learn about her life.
Bundy raped his victims before the murder and after, and in some cases performed various actions with bodies, for example, washed their hair or applied makeup. According to Bundy, at the time of the murder he felt like God, who was given at his discretion to perform the fate of people. In this, the maniac was not at all original - many serial killers were recognized in such thoughts.
Ted also admitted to investigators and psychologists that he repeatedly experienced pity for his victims after the abduction, but understood that he was late. The court in the case of an attempt to abduct Karol Ranch took place on February 23. Quite unexpectedly for Bundy, the case turned into a symbolic punishment at all - he was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Literally immediately after the trial he was transported to Colorado, where they began to interrogate in the case of the murder of one of the girls - Caroline Campbell.
Bandi realized that the ring was compressed and if the term for an unsuccessful attempt to abduct left good chances of a quick exit to freedom, then the murder would put a bold point on his life. Therefore, Bundy decided to escape. Under the pretext of familiarizing themselves with legal literature, the killer achieved permission to attend the prison library. It was from there that he made a daring escape through the roof of the building.
This happened on December 30. The negligence of the police cost dearly. After the escape of Banda, instead of laying on the bottom, as it fell off the chain. The day of January 15 was the most terrible in his career. The killer entered the student hostel of the city of Tallahasi, Florida with a heavy baton. Turning from the room to the room, the maniac stunes the girls with a club, raping and strangling.
This raid cost the lives of two students - Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy. Two more girls were brutally crippled, but survived. The maniac rape and kills the child, after which he throws the body to pigs on the farm outside the city. A week after this crime, Bandi was arrested and again led him a car. This time he was parked according to the rules, but police officer David Lee suspected that Volkswagen was listed in theft.
When checking the documents, Ted attacked a policeman, hit him and tried to flee, but was immediately caught and handcuffed. Lee delivered a strange guy who constantly asked him to shoot him, to the station like a bully and went home, as his shift was over. The policeman found out that he caught the most terrible US maniac later, when the whole country began to discuss the details of the investigation over a pretty merciless killer.
First of all, crimes committed in a female hostel in Florida were proved. The trial of Ted in this state did not leave him any hopes, since the killer in this state could only count on an electric chair. After that, Bandi, who had nothing more to lose, calmed down and decided to be a little with a star. He gladly talked about his crimes and willingly gave an interview to the press for investigation and ships over the serial killer followed the whole world and for a while of Bundy became one of the most recognizable people of the planet.
The words of the judge of Edward Kovard, who handed the maniac, the first death sentence are noteworthy. Immediately after the highest measure of punishment was approved, he said: “I consider the tragedy that such a smart young man was on the bench of the defendants. You could become an excellent lawyer. I admit, I would be glad if such a brilliant lawyer worked next to me.
But you chose another path” after this Bandi tasted on the courts and literally gathered mortal sentences. The movements of the criminal were accompanied by a stir among the female half of the population - the ladies wanted to look at a beautiful, charming killer at least with one eye. While Teda was judged, he managed to marry his former colleague from the Center for Assistance to the victims of violence, Carol Ann Boon.
Two years after the first sentence, Banda was born to his daughter while in jail, Bundy willingly advised investigators on the issues of capturing other serial killers. It is officially believed that Theodore Robert Bundy has 30 victims, but there is a version that the number of those killed about a hundred.
