Ted Bundy Theodore "Ted" Bundy confessed to 28 killings, though many estimate that he killed as many as 33 to 100 female victims during the 1970's. Often he would sexually assault his victims with items such as crowbars or hairspray bottles. All of these actions surprised those who knew the clean-cut, charmingly well-spoken young man. Bundy preyed on women's caring, sometimes wearing a cast on his arm to get women to help him. Police pulled Bundy over in his gray Volkswagon Bug in 1974, finding an ice pick, a crowbar, a ski mask, some rope, and a pair of handcuffs. This made him a burglary suspect, and police had no idea they had stopped a serial killer. |
