Ted Bundy: A Notorious Serial Killer
“What’s one less person on the face of the earth, anyway?” What type of person would say such an inhuman remark along these lines, you may ask. These very words came from the cruel, most notorious serial killer of the late 20th century. Also known as Ted Bundy. Ted Bundy raped and killed thirty-five women. Although, some thought he had committed as many as one-hundred murders or more. This man people describe as horrible, decided to plead insanity during his court case, but in reality he was not insane.
As bizarre as it may sound, Ted Bundy was once an ordinary young man. Everything was going good for him. He was a student at the University of Washington. He fell in love with a woman from California who also went to the University of Washington.
