Ted Bundy A.K.A. The Lady Killer murdered at most 30 women from 1974 to 1978. Before we talk about that, however, we have to talk about his early life.

Theodore Robert Bundy was born as Theodore Robert Cowell on November 24, 1946, to Eleanor Louise Cowell and an unknown father. For the first three years of his life, Bundy had been told by his grandparents that he was their adoptive son and that his mother was his sister. It isn't certain how, but sometime later he saw his birth certificate and realized the truth. 1951, Ted's mother married a man named Johnny Culpepper Bundy, thus, charging Ted's surname.

Often during his younger years, Bundy read crime novels which may have impacted his mental state, due to the sexual and horrific violence.

Despite his mental illness, Bundy graduated university as a psychology major. For many years, Bundy worked as on a suicide prevention hotline and a criminal act prevention organization. Around this time, Bundy killed his first victim.
