“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.
