Fearbook: Ted Bundy

My reading standard is 11.R.5.1. I have summarized this on a different document. I am still going through the Fearbook and learning about past notorious serial killers and what made them blow up like a ticking time bomb.

The second man I have researched and many people should have heard about him. His name is Ted Bundy also known as Theodore Robert Cowell. He was born on November 24, 1946 in Burlington, Vermont. Throughout the years, he always thought that his sister was his mother and his grandparents were his real parents. Ted Bundy was an attractive young man who was very intelligent especially when it came with politics.


When he entered college, he fell in love with a girl who broke his heart which made him start his depression. After awhile they got back together because she loves the “new” Ted Bundy. He started to run for campaigns, but soon after he left politics and Washington after suspicion from police when they started investigation of missing women. Ted decides to move to Salt Lake City, Utah to attend law school. Soon after he was charged with murder, but he somehow escaped from the prison. He was soon caught after and went back to prison, but soon after he escaped once again.



Ted Bundy murdered from 20-100 women, but he only confessed to 29 murders. There was a young woman by the name of Nita Neary who was an eye witness and saw Bundy leave a house of two women who were murdered. He was arrested for the third time for those murders. He went to trial and he was his own lawyer. After the counts of murder, he lost the trial and was sentence to death by the electric chair. Ted Bundy was executed on January 14th, 1989.
