A new DNA profile of Ted Bundy could help solve these Utah cold cases
A new DNA profile could strengthen evidence in Utah cold cases, where investigators say Bundy may be linked to several unsolved killings.
- Investigators recently finalized a complete DNA profile for Theodore Bundy, enabling authorities to re-examine numerous cold cases that have remained unsolved for decades.
- Previous testing methods yielded only partial, unreliable profiles from degraded samples or material mixed with DNA from multiple individuals, significantly complicating earlier forensic efforts.
- Laboratory personnel pieced together the profile using new genotyping technology and evidence collected at the time of the crimes, marking a milestone for cold case investigations.
- Comparing this profile against evidence from unsolved murders long suspected to be tied to Bundy, detectives hope to provide answers for families and exonerate the wrongly accused.
- Hundreds of unsolved cases that have persisted for years might finally be resolved, as authorities review files that have sat idle for decades.
