The Killings and First Capture
Bundy's earliest known murders occurred in the Seattle, Washington area in 1974 and involved female college students. Bundy's usual method of abducting and killing women was to wear an arm cast and claim that he needed help carrying some object or objects to his Volkswagen Beetle. In the fall of 1974, Bundy began attending the University of Utah Law School and continued to kill. He was arrested in August, 1975, after a police officer stopped his car and found a crowbar, ski mask, handcuffs, ice pick, and garbage bags in the vehicle. Bundy was connected through these objects to the attempted abduction and murder of Carol DaRonch in November, 1974, and was tried, convicted, and sentenced to 15 years in prison.CourtTV Crime Library: Ted Bundy, Notorious Serial KillerEscape and More Killings
After being extradited to Colorado from Utah, Bundy managed to escape from prison twice. He was quickly recaptured after his first escape. During the second escape on New Year's Eve, 1977, Bundy was able to board a flight to Chicago, and eventually make his way to Florida, where he resumed killing young women. Finally, in Florida in February, 1978, Bundy was captured for the third time, tried, convicted, and sentenced to death by electrocution. Bundy died in the electric chair in 1989. Before his death, he blamed youthful exposure to pornography for his addiction to rape and murder.CourtTV Crime Library: Ted Bundy, Notorious Serial Killer-
