Theodore "Ted" Bundy was something of a celebrity throughout the 70's and 80's. He

allegedly killed 36 women, but by his own admission, there were at least 100 more

unaccounted for. His trial was marked by alot of pomp and arrogance on his own part,

and the media and public ate it up. He went out with a bang in 1989, when he was at long

last, executed by electrocution. Below is the list of women he murdered. Katherine

Merry Divine, 15. Disappeared: Nov 25, 1973, from Seattle Wa. Found: Dec.6, 1973, in

incredible thing is, this poor girl lived through the attack. It left irreparable damage to her

internal organs, and she was left with no memory of the attack. It had also left her

severely brain damaged. She was a shy, friendly girl with no enemies, and it was

determined to be a random act of savage violence. Lynda Ann Healy,21 Disappeared:

Jan 31, 1974 Seattle, Wa Found: March 3,1975 Taylor Mountain, Wa A tall, slender

beautiful girl with long dark hair and blue eyes. Upon investigation, the police pulled

back her bedcovers and found a heavily blood stained pillowcase and blood-soaked

sheets. Her nightgown was found stuffed in her closet, the neck lined crusted with dried

blood. The clothes she'd worn that day were missing. Not one trace of the attacker or her

body could be found. A year later, during a thorough investigation of what came to be

known as Bundy's graveyard, Lynda's skull was found, bearing the unmistakable marks of
