Theodore Robert Bundy (né Cowell; November 24, 1946 - January 24, 1989) was an American serial killer who kidnapped, raped and murdered dozens of young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. After more than a decade of denials, he confessed to 30 murders committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978. His true victim total is unknown.
Bundy often employed charm to disguise his murderous intent when kidnapping victims, and extended this tactic vis-a-vis law enforcement, the media and the criminal justice system to maintain his claims of innocence. His usual technique involved approaching a female in public and luring her to a vehicle parked in a more secluded area, at which point she would be beaten unconscious, restrained with handcuffs and taken elsewhere to be sexually assaulted and killed.
To this end, Bundy typically simulated having a physical impairment such as an injury in order to convince his target that he was in need of assistance with something, or would dupe her into believing he was an authority figure. He frequently revisited the bodies of those he abducted, grooming and performing sex acts on the corpses until decomposition and destruction by wild animals made further interactions impossible. He decapitated at least 12 of his victims, keeping their severed heads as mementos in his apartment. On a few occasions, he broke into homes at night and bludgeoned, maimed, strangled and/or sexually assaulted his victims in their sleep.
In 1975, Bundy was arrested and jailed in Utah for aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault. He then became a suspect in a progressively longer list of unsolved homicides in several states. Facing murder charges in Colorado, Bundy engineered two dramatic escapes and committed further assaults in Florida, including three murders, before his ultimate recapture in 1978. For the Florida homicides, he received three death sentences in two trials, and was executed at Florida State Prison in Raiford on January 24, 1989.
In August 1974, Bundy received a second acceptance from the University of Utah Law School and moved to Salt Lake City, leaving Kloepfer in Seattle. While he called Kloepfer often, he dated "at least a dozen" other women. As he studied the first-year law curriculum a second time, he was devastated to find out that the other students "had something, some intellectual capacity", that he did not. He found the classes completely incomprehensible. "It was a great disappointment to me," he said.[131] A new string of homicides began the following month, including two that would remain undiscovered until Bundy confessed to them shortly before his execution.
On October 18, Melissa Anne Smith-the 17-year-old daughter of the police chief of Midvale, another Salt Lake City suburb-disappeared after leaving a pizza parlor at around 9.30 p.m. Her nude body was found in a nearby mountainous area nine days later; post-mortem examination indicated that she may have remained alive for up to seven days following her disappearance.
We studied him deeply in one of my Forensic classes. Excellent job Scott!! Very detailed and accurate. Studying the minds of these killers is amazingly fascinating. I even learned a few new details thanks to you!! That's why I love your channel more than shopping!!😁
Just sent you $20.00😊
I don't know how to post it on your wall. Hope you got it!!
I saw that you did Lisa ! (Your name was spelled Lisa on the PayPal ) Thank you so much! Very generous of you! I deeply appreciate it! For anyone else that wishes to help with my channel here is my PayPal link . All donations are greatly appreciated. Once again thank you Lisa! www.paypal.me/scottontape99
@@SCOTTONTAPE , so glad you got it!! No one ever spells my name right. 😂
@@leesashriber5097😅 glad I spelled it right too !
Well done scott interesting and he is truly evil
I've been working on a biography of Melissa for the past year and a half. Thank you for honoring her. I've been a fan of your work for years Scott, so it's especially poignant to see you pay Melissa a visit.
I look forward to reading that . Sadly there is not a lot of information on Melissa’s life online
Well GOD bless you for writing a. Biography that is quite a heart wrenching one to write.
Thank you. I'm not sure the end result will be a book. Biography is just the best word I can think up to sum up the thrust of the project.@@POSTAPRILSIXTH
@@SCOTTONTAPE Not sure if you noticed, but Melissa's buried between her father and her younger sister Jolene. Jolene, or Jo, as she like to be called, married outside the church at age 18, settled with her husband in the Las Vegas area, and would go on to raise a large family of her own, yet when her time came (complications from MS) a week or so short of the 40th anniversary of her sister's murder, she chose to be buried at Melissa''s side in Midvale under a matching headstone with the words "Families are forever." a touching post-script to the story I think.
@@EmanistanSuch a shame the cult disconnects people from their families. Shunning is reprehensible.
So glad that ted bundy can't hurt anyone anymore. Scott your the best great job Vickie😊
Never will understand.How a person can be so sick and twisted. I'm glad you focused on Melissa"s life.I have empathy for the victims and their families. Thanks for sharing such a difficult subject Scott. Rest easy to all the girls who lost their lives.🌹🌹🌹🌹
Wow that is the cemetery where both my parents are buried! I grew up in that area.
I just want to thank you Scott. My mom, who is also my best friend, is so into True Crime and anything Hollywood. She recently was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers, and it's been a struggle. But she watches your videos religiously. In a way, I think they help her remember. You do great things!!! I appreciate all you do. I don't know if you have merch, but I'd love to get her something if you do. Keep on keeping on, she's got me hooked too!!❤
That is so sweet Gail thank you so much. Please give your mother a hug for me. ❤️. Hopefully soon I will have some tshirts. Please say hello and give her that hug for me
I hope your mom is doing well, and continuing to enjoy Scott’s videos. He’s one of the good guys, that’s for sure! Alzheimer’s is an evil thing, but it often spares long term memory…and true crime often involves just that!
Thank you, Scott. I love that you focus on the victims and give them a face. No one else does that. Please stay safe. ❤
This going to be great horrific story Scott .lets dive right in .Rest in peace for all the victims
melissa was 2 weeks older than me. i'm in my 60's now. her life was so tragically stolen. thanks for your acknowledgement of her. 🌹
That horrific bastard and the damage he left behind. Great great in depth coverage Scott 👍🏻💪🏻✌🏻
Thank you for paying respect to these victims much love to you Scott ❤
I’ve been in his bedroom in Seattle near UW but I didn’t know it at the time. One of the creepiest things to ever happen to me. I am old enough to have heard about Ted when he was in the news. I can kind of remember hearing radio reports of Ted being captured after killing Kimberly Leach in FL.
RIP to all the victims. 😢❤ Thank you Scott. Your a very Respectful Man.
😢 2 days short of 50 years since her death. Ty scott for always respecting and bringing victims to the light!
Scott this was done so tastefully. Thank you for sharing Melissa's story with us.❤
Whats up Scott! Love your videos and channel. You are awesome and amazing. Thank you for posting this video, I am watching your video right now.
If I'm not to badly mistaken it took the murder of a 12 yr old in Florida to get this sick freak the death penalty here... Good stuff as always...Thanks for sharing!!!
I agree
Bundy got three death sentences. If they couldn't get him one on case they had the other case to get him. Smart move. He wasn't leaving Florida alive.
@@jeffharper9854 Facts!!!!
This animal had a rap sheet bigger than a rap artist. All jokes aside, he left many families without loved ones and terrorized a nation for years. As always Scott, your channel continues to speak for itself with the hard work and time spent doing them. We appreciate you and what you do man. 👍
Scott your compassion and caring in honoring the memory of the victims is so touching. As you said, the families heartbreaking loss never stops. 💔 rest in peace 🙏
Hi Scott, I grew up in Washington state and am very familiar with Ted Bundy and have read books and watched documentaries on him. I have even been to the park in Issaquah ( i.suh.kwaa ) Washington where he lured some of his victims, and commuted across Tiger Mountain where he dumped several bodies outside of Issaquah.
Thank you for doing this video with care...as always, you do a great job! Thank you! ❤
Hi there Scott 🙋🏽. Good Evening to you. Everytime I hear about what Ted Bundy did to these girls break's My Heart until this Day. I just never understood how someone could be so cruel. I couldn't do that to my worst enemy. Thank you again Scott for inviting me to watch your video and have a wonderful day ‼️❤️👍🏽😃.
Hi Scott, how in the world do you get bail when charged with these heinous crimes? Thank you for always being respectful in your videos. When you showed Melissa's grave she was 18 months younger than me....heartbreaking. Rest in peace Melissa and all of his victims.
you get no bail by weak district attorney that dont care . thats how you have no bail. and also the fools that vote them in. thats how you have a zero bail system.
Thank you Scott for these interesting videos and stories. I've only recently discovered your channel, and your compassion and care to the stories is brilliant. Sending you loads of love from Australia
Thank you so much Geraldine 😊
Super superb job once again.
I get so caught up in the music. It puts me like into a trance, lol.
I grew up in Salt Lake. My dad worked for the government and was called to interview Bundy the night he was arrested in SL. My dad, who was one of the best in studying character, which was why he was asked to talk to Bundy, came home and basically said that Bundy was a good kid and didn't do what he was arrested for. My dad has passed away, but Im sure he was stunned to learn later that Bundy was guilty. Bundy was that good at deceiving people. Great job as always Scott ❤
Thank you for helping my mind focus on something else, Scott. My husband had a massive stroke on 10/14, 7cm right temporal parietal brain bleed. He was in icu for 5 days and is now on intermediate care unit. Last night was one of his worst. Today is day 11 of this awful dream. My dear husband, Joe, is 48 years old. Entirely too young for this. But when is the “right age” for this? Please send Joe healing thoughts and prayers if you believe in the power of prayer. Thank you so much❤
I am so sorry to hear about your husband.
Please stay strong . We all hope he will make a speedy recovery
Sorry to hear about your husband, hard to beat Prayer 🙏
@@SCOTTONTAPEThank you so much ❤️
Sending prayers 🙏 A month later. So sorry! Just watched this video.
I hope your husband is continuing on the path to recovery…and that life has become easier for both of you.
R.I.P. all the innocent victims. It's so good to see attention paid to the innocent more than the monster. Can't help but notice the flock of pink flamingos behind you in the first minutes of the video.
Love these Scott 👍rip victims 🙏
Thank you for remembering the those he murdered.
Hello Scott you did a great job on this video..long drive from Vegas... Ted Bundy was also in Seattle..i don't think you had covered that...safe travels my friend...
He would go on to kill another young girl 4 days after Melissa on Halloween. I couldn't imagine living in that room. RIP Melissa and all the other young victims.
Everytime i find out more about Ted Bundys crimes it just chills me to my bones. I cant imagine what it was like when he was creeping around and murdering woman😢 i was just a baby born in 73. Excellent video as always Scott🫶😔
I’m originally from Utah, 45 miles south of SLC. One of my mom’s friends had a sister that was killed by Bundy. Crazy to think how close he came to my mom. They all hung out together.
it is very heart breaking for all those women and never can forget those victims that had to die in his hands and I hope he is rotting where he went and to the ones and their love ones and family God Bless them and RIP!! 💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thanks Scott, great job. My daughter is 17. I can't even imagine 😢
Awesome! This is one of my favorite channels. Keep it up Scott!
AH!! I can't believe you were here in Salt Lake City! I totally would have taken you to a great local restaurant!! Next time! There is a really great documentarian that has some videos here on UA-cam about Ted's home in the avenues and his relationship with Mormon church members. It's so shocking and eerie. I drive past the church he went to all the time. I didn't know exactly where the house was.
Great work Scott! Always important to remember some of the victims 👍🏻
Love all your work Scott, and I especially love the one's you make on serial killers and the macabre. Studying criminal psychology, and behavioral science, regarding serial killers, is really fascinating. You should do btk/Dennis Rader next if you're ever in Wichita. Stay safe and amazing job.
Thank you for another Ted Bundy video! I hope you do an Oregon, Colorado, and Washington.. I'm planning on going to Lake Sammish on July 14 of next year which would be his 50th anniversary and maybe I'll see you there
Wish I could but can’t afford to travel for a long time after this . Maybe sometime in the future
Scotty long soxs. Have you ever been to the Amadie Horror House? I kinda forgot? You're an awesome dude. Love your channel brother
Thanks man and no I have not
Well done. I didn’t know much about his time in Utah. Thanks!
Didn’t know you were in town! I messaged you on Instagram a picture I took of a grave of one of his victims. That daughter of that police chief in your video.
Great video Scott! Thanks for taking us along when you visit these locations. Much love.
Very very sad. Thank you Scott for sharing
I saw you in Adam the Woo I like your stuff man think I’ve watched everything in about a 3 day time period lol keep grinding
That’s awesome Matt thank you man
Can you do Dean Corll the Candyman. That's where john Wayne Gacy got the idea for the handcuff trick and the torture board
Changing the number of a room doesn’t change the fact of who lived in there I wouldn’t stay in that room he was sadistic and evil amazing video stay safe much love always ❤
A Fantastic vlog Scott! Appreciate your efforts! This was so very interesting Ty for sharing this with us Bro. Luv&Peace ✌🏼💫
The Wikipedia article on Ted Bundy is truly terrifying. The length of the article is mind boggling but worth the time.
Thanks Scott for another great video
Hello Scott good video greetings to you from London UK
I remember when all that happened. He even beat a girl and left her for dead at my church out beyond the parking lot. She was just barely alive but died at the hospital. The Murray police chief had him when he tried to kidnap Carol Daronch . He was daring him by leaving the girl he beat to death on his door step so to speak.
I've always heard that Bundy lived here in SLC. I live just a few street away from this house. Very creepy. WISH you had time while you were here to visit some different kinds of History and grave sites at the Salt Lake cemetery. If you ever come back here, I could show you around 😊
He did in fact go to law school not far from salt lake City. I believe he also has killed in that state multiple times.
@@NoAlarmsNoSupriseSs Ya, he killed 3 girls here that were students at the U here. I remember my parents telling us to lock our doors and keep the windows down and locked during that time. Glad he is gone.
I read a full page of interviews with women he had any type of relationship. The neighbor downstairs they got pretty close, she helped a lot in talking with the cops in leading to his guilty prosecution. He use to jump out and scare her, she realized he loved seeing the look of fear in women. She’d also wake up one night, he in her room “Your door wasn’t shut and locked, just wanted to let you know.” It’s crazy to hear all these women share that dark side that the public didn’t see from him. He was always dark and psychotic. Holding one girlfriend under water in Washington trying to untie her top. Another girl he scared to death while a group of them were going river rafting, pulled her top down made everyone uncomfortable because they didn’t know each other. He then untied the tube she was riding in from the main raft, it was her first time and she was completely scared. He also got very angry with the group, they never saw that before. Clearly had issues. Anyone lucky enough to share those stories, because he didn’t become murderous.
Another great video. I love your videos on these serial killers. You always provide information that I did not previously know. Keep them coming!
Salt Lake looks pretty nice town. A scary thought is there was a time overlap that Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer were active at the same time. I think its horrible his ashes were spread in Washington's Cascade Range, when there's a good chance some of his victims are still there undiscovered. Great video Scott.
Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Pigeon Forge TN displays the VW that Bundy was driving during his arrest in Utah.
Was somebody staring back at you from that window?? or am I tripping?
I was tripping... it's a small pumpkin lol 😅
I think so yes
@@SCOTTONTAPE Yea I watched it 3 times to make sure I wasn’t tripping and I was 🤣
Thank you for the heart you put into these videos.
Very well done!! Thanks for sharing...looking forward to your next video
Scott means so much to me because my dad died from cancer Oct. 25th 2003 and scott heals my pain. but im a strong person and i keep going. thanks again scott for making the world a better place. from Vickie😊💗
Although my opinions about Ted changed after watching confessions of a Killers Ted Bundy lost tapes on Netflix, do agree that he was an awful man for the things he did. It is interesting how they think and how they got that way in their words. Edmund Kemper is one of them. He is very intellectual and in prison he reads books for the blind and turned himself in when he knew he was going to do it again. Great video as always Scott. Thank you for brining us along.
thank you scott for telling this very professional and passionate you are the goat thank you
Thanks for sharing Scott!
Good video much respect to ya.
Bedankt He was a Evil man. May Melissa and all the victims rest in peace 💞Thank you Scott for telling about this.
Thank you so much Evie!
@@SCOTTONTAPE Your'e very welcome 💞
RIP sweet Melissa Smith. Out visiting with a friend and enjoying herself. Only to be savagely taken from us by this cruel world. 😢
The tedd bundy series are some of your best scott..
Watching from manitoba.
Thank you so much
Ann Rule was once quoted that Bundy's testicles briefly caught on fire during his execution in January 1989.
Scott very good video my friend
Welcome to Utah Scott.
Really well done Scott , you always keep it respectful and thoughtful! Stay safe @scottontape
Finally you come to Utah!
You have the dream job, would love to travel and see all these historic locations
Terrific and frightening video. Always a great watch!
Excellent video Scott👍👍
Great video!! Love the true crime videos!! I recently drove by the prison where Bundy was executed. Cant wait for the Florida videos!!
Thank you Scott for continuing with the Ted Bundy story, I have watched many documentaries, but your video's are so informative and told extremely respectively, please please do a video about Taylor mountain, so many poor souls taken far far to so in by this monster.
you can just imagine seeing him looking out the window looking for victims
Hi Scott, no more vicious attacks by him
Omg it’s so weird that fire escape is still there! No way I would live in that house!
Love your channel but my favorite os your true crime its on point ❤would you do the night stalker
Already did it’s on my channel😊
@@SCOTTONTAPE thank you I don't know how I missed it
That man was truly evil
Great video again Scott and tastefully done as always
RIP to all victims
Rest in peace Melissa Smith
Request: Would you consider doing a tour of the Training Day filming spots? I know you’re in the LA area often. Thank you Scott, love your channel!
I did! In my first year it’s here on the channel . I love that movie !
Only 17! RIP!
My father was one of the physicians who took care of the FSU survivors
Wow
I dont know if anyone has ever seen the rather short video with his younger brother and its just terrible! His little brother loved his big brother and when Ted was finally exposed for what he was! He later developed PTSD,drug addiction and other issues! Ted literally destroyed soooo many lives!
Indeed. And when his brother shows the picture and says that he used to feel happiness looking at the photo, he doesn't feel shit anymore because of what Ted did. It always gets me.
Thank you for this video.
So sad thanx for sharing the video
Condolences to any surviving family and friends and all of victims our hearts go out to you thank you Scott from Fl. ❤️🩹💐😇
I always cry when I watch your videos. Especially ones like this one. Today is definitely no different. Absolutely spectacular job, Scott. 😢😂💔
He killed really pretty girls. Such evil! I pray for all of their families. You cannot get over that. Many victims! The families are victims too.
you are in my state. However I live in south central Utah. 3 hours away.
Ted Bundy's younger brother was interviewed on video which can be viewed on you tube. It was recent. You can see this man was gutted, ashamed, & embarrassed being related to this man. He spoke about growing up with Ted when he was a child
Welcome to Utah Scott. Hope you get the great sites and is full of crazy and creepy history. For a possible add to this Bundy crime history. There is alleged house that he was staying at, in a part of Emmigration canyon. There is a chained off area and now just a foundation and a cellar door left. It’s a possible urban legend and paranormal peeps go at the spot. There is weird things happening around there. Good you went to grave and paid respects. I went to her grave a few times. I use to live in the area. I was a kid when Bundy ran around and did his murders. We thought he was coming to get us lol. But have a drink and some sites on me. I still reside in Utah and most natives want to forget this history. Thanks for doing this and great vlog
Had no idea Bundy killed that many in Salt Lake City. Thanks, Scott. Great video as always.
What a horrific monster he was. A man who would represent himself as a lawyer has a fool for a client.
Bundy got off too lightly, i wish they could have done more then the death penalty, thank you scott for sharring with is, your hardwork is appreciated
