Born a KillerDoes the name Ted Bundy mean anything to you? A handsome, intelligent and complicit young man, responsible for around forty murders between 1964 and 1978. Ted (Theodore) Bundy was born on November 24, 1946 in Burling, Vermont. The mother Eleanor Cowell was at the stage in her life where she was a single mother capable of caring for her child. So she let her parents step in and raise young Theodore. With this, Theodore grew up believing that his biological mother was his sister and his grandparents, where his parents were. Ted showed a very strange interest from a very young age. At the age of 3, he became very fascinated with knives.

She ran into the kitchen, put the knives back and told her mother what had happened. No one thought anything of it but she knew something was seriously wrong. While Theodore stayed with her grandparents, Eleanor decided to move to Tacome, Washington for a few years, but not alone. It was a very difficult decision, but she wanted young Theodore to follow her, things just wouldn't be the same. In 1951, she married a man named Jonnie Bundy and the couple enjoyed life like any couple and had several children together (TB Bio).

He also tried to keep his case alive by trying to take it to the United States Supreme Court, but his case was thrown out. He even tried to provide more information on an unsolved case in order to avoid Florida's electric chair. Now it was too late for him to sort things out and be honest. Ted had to face time for the brutal things he did to these beautiful young women, even if it killed him. On January 24, 1989, Theodore “Ted” Bundy was put to death at 7 a.m. that morning. As Bundy fried under the chair outside, the crowd praised, lit fireworks, and even cheered as they finally knew that justice had been overturned. Families could finally sleep knowing that the killer who had suffered so much in their lives now answered to someone beyond that..
