Ted Bundy was a man who admittedly murdered over 30 women throughout his life. His first documented murder took place on January 4, 1974 and started a killing spree in Seattle, Washington that would shock the nation. At this time he worked at the Washington State Department of Emergency Services in Olympia, which was a government agency involved in the search for the missing women? He even had a girlfriend by the name of Elizabeth Kloepfer whom he lived with at the time. Bundy was also a law student at UPS Law School in Seattle.
These bits of information are what really make me so interested in this eerie case. This was an all American man who people trusted; he was going to college, he held a decent and respectable job; yet at the same time he was a vicious serial killer. So how do we tell a serial killer apart from someone else, are there any real techniques to keep ourselves safe from these murderous criminals? Women especially, how are we supposed to know that this handsome, gentle, sweet man isn’t going to kill us?
Well ted bundy was one of the most famous serial killers, but what happen to all of his victims, who were they? We might know the names but we really dont know who they were/what were their favorite hobbies, or what they did on their time off. We can't just kill the name but there is a lot that we have never found out about him. or why...
ReplyDeleteDo you think that publicity is what he really wanted? Attention for being so crazy? Or do you think he really believed that he would get away with all of the murders? Part of me thinks serial killers eventually want to be caught.
ReplyDeleteI actually think he did it because it was his high. Like drug addicts use drugs, I think he was addicted to killing. My personal opinion is that getting caught wasn't even on his mind, he just killed and killed because it was what he loved to do.. Although I think that's an interesting way of looking at it, it's very possible that some serial killers have a dream of being notorious so they work to make that happen so they can go down in history.
ReplyDeleteHey Kara what a interesting subject to research. Ted Bundy was a man on a mission and succeeded in not only rendering fear in the heart of people, but taking helpless victims and preying on them. While doing your research, did you come across any information that led Ted to accomplish these murders? Did he have an abusive childhood? Did his mom leave him and make this seemingly innocent person perform these hideous atrocities? Since doing this paper have you been in a situation where you have looked around and wondered who is watching you?
ReplyDeleteGreat job on you blog.
