“Ted Bundy V.S The Zodiac Killer”
Ted Bundy and The Zodiac Killer have a few things in common with each other, one being that they both are serial killers. In the 1970s Ted Bundy raped and murdered young women in several states, being connected to at least thirty-six murders. However The Zodiac Killers identity remains unknown, but is linked to at least seven murders in California.
Theodore “Ted” Bundy was born on November 24, 1946 in Burlington, Vermont. During that time if you got pregnant before marriage in very religious families was considered scandalous and wrong. Eleanor Cowell was twenty-two years old and unmarried when she had her son. Growing up in a deeply religious family, Eleanor had her son at a home for unwed mothers in Vermont. To hide he was an “illegitimate child”, Bundy was raised as the adopted child of his grandparents and was told his mother was his sister. (A&E Television Network) The identity of his father remains unknown. At the age of three he became in love with the idea of knives. He was shy but a very smart child who did well in school. The older Ted got the more the darker side of character started to release. At first very popular, happy and smart at school in junior high once Ted reached high school he became less social not knowing how talk to girls or people in general, seeming less happy and his academic process seem to go down. In 1966 Ted met the love his life Stephanie Brooks. She was everything Ted wanted: beauty, money, class, and influence. But Bundy’s lack of confidence, and use of manipulation ruined the relationship. Stephanie broke up with Ted due to feeling that he was immature and too childish. Dropping in and out of different schools he finally majored in psychology and was accepted into a law school. Ted also got involved with politics receiving a letter of recommendation from the republican governor of Washington. During this time women in Seattle and Oregon area went missing. Ted moved to Utah in 1974 to attend law school when women started disappearing from there too. About a year later he was pulled over with tools including a crowbar, facemask, rope and handcuffs.(A&E Television Network) Following that was when Bundy started getting convicted of kidnap and murder. While Bundy was on trial for the murders and kidnappings he managed to escape from prison. In result his last attack was to the Chi Omega house where he raped and murder many girls. During this time he also kidnapped and killed a 12-year-old girl. He then shocked everyone by calling Carole Ann Boone to the witness stand and marrying her. Three years later she divorced him after realizing Bundy did commit the murders and gave birth to this daughter. After Bundy tried to save his life countless of times, he was sentenced to death on January 24th, 1989. Right before his execution he had one last interview. The national review noted that Bundy stated in the interv.
Case 1 Mass MurderAndrea Yates was convicted of drowning he.docxdewhirstichabod
Case 1: Mass Murder
Andrea Yates was convicted of drowning her five children and given a sentence of life in prison.
Later, it was found that the sentence of life in prison was based on the inaccurate testimony of a highly respected forensic psychiatrist. Her life sentence was overturned, and she was found guilty by reason of insanity and sent to a mental hospital.
Yates suffered from severe postpartum depression and had been hospitalized for an attempted suicide before she killed her children. Yates was delusional and reported having thoughts that were degrading and persecuting her for her motherhood. She was also having command hallucinations telling her she was a bad mother and her children would grow up to be criminals, so she should save them by drowning them.
Case 2: Serial Killer
In 1980, John Wayne Gacy was found guilty of murdering 33 young men. He picked up some of his victims at a local homosexual bar. Other victims were taken home for "interviews" as prospective employees for his construction business. The remains of 29 victims were found buried under his home while the other four victims had been thrown into the Des Plaines River near Chicago.
Gacy always maintained his innocence throughout the trial and appeals process claiming someone else put the bodies in the crawl space beneath his house. Also known as "The Killer Clown," Gacy used handcuffs and chloroform to subdue his victims, and then he would tie a rope around their necks and slowly twist until he squeezed the life out of them.
Gacy had been married twice and had two children from the first marriage. Both marriages ended in divorce when his wives found items from his victims or were unhappy from a lack of any sexual contact between them. During both marriages and afterwards, Gacy was considered an outstanding member of his community. Gacy was executed on May 10, 1994.
Case 1 (mass murder) and Case 2 (serial murder) can be analyzed and categorized by fitting them into one or more of the theories developed to explain the phenomenon of multiple murder. The theories are developed by experts in the field who study mass and serial murderers.
What are the similarities and differences between the definitions for serial and mass murder?
What purposes are served by establishing the typologies that apply to a mass murderer? Are they the same purposes that are served by establishing the typology of a serial killer?
Could a serial murderer ever become a mass murderer and vice versa? Why or why not?
Considering the cases described above, which typologies apply to each killer? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

Education has changed since Covid struck. Teachers, students, and everyone inbetween have been required to find online methods for communicating and getting tasks done. One option for educators has been immersing their students in learning situations through virtual world activities. While some teachers are excited by the possibilities, others are overwhelmed by yet another technology being heaped on their already overladen plates. But using virtual worlds and creating the items you might need for lessons there, doesn't need to be intimidating.
This presentation is meant to help teachers and students over some of their perceived hurdles while creating many lessons for teaching idioms. Participants at the conference, or people who would like to review or process the information separately, can work through the step-by-step slides outlining best building practices at their own pace. The goal is to turn a daunting task into an enjoyable one.
Participants who attend the conference in Kitely in OpenSim will also be given a chance to tour Edutopia 1 and see many other teaching ideas via a car rally. The car rally is meant to showcase additional teaching tactics, and the car rally is also an example of another type of lesson teachers could immediately use with their students.
Finally, useful links are given to the presenter, her virtual worlds, and machinima posted on YouTube that further illustrate out-of-the-box teaching ideas.
This PowerPoint contains slides comparing virtual worlds grids and the Kitely grid where my worlds are. It also shows the incredibly wide range of free or cheap items in Kitely and all the games and exercises I have created and put on the Kitely Marketplace to teach English the way I think it should be taught in virtual worlds.

1. Who Killed My Daughter? Psychic Clues
• The psychic, Betty Muench, suggests Kaitlyn was killed because of some
information she had and Dung was involved and knows who killed her.
• Betty Muench identifies the car that chased Kaitlyn as a low-rider’s car, and also
says that Kaitlyn had seen one of the three people most involved before, and these
three people have split up and gone to Mexico, Chicago, and overseas. Betty also
says Kaitlyn was trying to get somewhere by 9:00.
• Betty Muench tells Lois the letters “R & J” on the door of a white vehicle were
important, and Lois discovers a rental car agency called R & J Leasing in Costa
Mesa near where Dung and Kait had gone on a car scam.
• Lois contacts another psychic, Noreen Renier, who uses a cross Kait was wearing
at the time of her death to establish a connection with Kait. Noreen says Kait was
afraid of a knife and that Kait had been driving in the hills above Albuquerque
just before her murder. Noreen also works with a police artist who sketches a
picture of the triggerman and the man who hired the triggerman by asking Kait,
through Noreen, about these two men. Lois is shocked to recognize the
triggerman as the hitman on the book jacket of her book Don’t Look Behind You.
The heroine in this book was modeled after Kait, and the hitman in the book was
hired by drug dealers. Noreen says this coincidence is because Kaitlyn is trying
to tell them a hitman was hired to kill her because she was going to expose a drug
ring.
• Noreen reveals Kait was romantically involved with someone besides Dung at the
time of her death, and this person was someone her mother knew and disapproved
of. This person is also who drove Kait to a villa in the hills above Albuquerque
on the night of Kait’s death, and it was at this villa the Kait saw a powerful, well-
known person buying drugs. Because of how powerful this man is, the police are
afraid to have anything to do with this and are interested in obscuring what really
happened.
• A third psychic, Nancy Czetli, becomes involved. She uses a photograph of Kait,
a videotape of the crime scene, a map with where the murder occurred marked on
it, a teddy bear of Kait’s, and a handwriting sample of Kait’s. She says Dung felt
Kait’s independence challenged his manhood, and he wanted to teach her a
lesson, the drug deal involved a lot of money, there is a credible witness still
alive, but he is too afraid for his own life and his family to come forward, the
hitmen were arrested because they were setup by the man that hired them to stop
the investigation from going further, and more people will die..
