Today, the MU team explores the life and times of Ted Bundy - America's more notorious serial killer. Learn what made this monster tick, and how his actions have lasting effects even 50 years later.

Next week, hear from Ted's very own cousin, author Edna Cowell Martin, who offers a chilling glimpse into the man whose name is synonymous with murder.

Theodore Robert Bundy was born in Burlington, VT on November 24th, 1946. Bundy had a difficult childhood, including a strained relationship with his stepfather. His shyness made him a frequent target of bullying. Later, however, his intelligence and social skills enabled him to enjoy a successful college career, and he developed a series of apparently normal emotional relationships with women. Despite this apparent stability, he sexually assaulted and killed several young women in Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, and Florida between 1974 and 1978.

Although he would ultimately confess to dozens of murders, some estimate he was responsible for hundreds of deaths.

Following a well-publicized trial, he was sentenced to death in 1979 for the murder of two college students. In the following year he again was sentenced to death, this time for the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl. Bundy was executed in Florida’s electric chair in 1989.
