Ted Bundy was a notorious American serial killer, kidnapper, rapist, burglar, and necrophile who confessed to murdering 30 young women across several states between 1974 and 1978, though the true number of his victims remains unknown and is likely much higher. He was known for his charm and charisma, which he used to lure his victims. Bundy escaped from custody twice and represented himself during his highly publicized trial. He was eventually convicted of murder and executed in Florida in 1989. His case remains a chilling example of the dark side of human psychology and the ability of individuals to mask horrific intentions behind a facade of normalcy.
