Utah authorities are connecting serial killer Ted Bundy to another 1970s homicide
Advances in DNA testing helped investigators close the case and add another confirmed victim to Bundy’s record, officials said.
- On Tuesday, authorities in Utah are holding a news conference to link serial killer Ted Bundy to a decades-old homicide, as The Summit County sheriff and county attorney prepare to present findings and close the case.
- Advances in DNA testing continue to grow the tally of confirmed victims for Bundy, who killed at least 30 women and girls in the 1970s despite being dead for nearly 40 years.
- While the victim's name in this new case remains unreleased, the 1974 cold case death of 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith has long been listed as a cold case linked to Bundy.
- Utah County Sheriff's Deputy Jake Hall announced in April that definitive evidence linked Bundy to the murder of Laura Ann Aime, who disappeared on Halloween in 1974.
- Bundy was executed in 1989 by electric chair in Florida for the 1978 murders of two women at the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University; he confessed to previously unknown crimes in his final days.
