Crime Stories Evil Genius: Ted Bundy’s decade of kidnapping, raping & killing across America

Ted Bundy, one of America’s most notorious serial killers, was also a kidnapper, rapist, burglar, and necrophile who carried out crimes against dozens of young women and girls across the United States in the 1970s. Bundy’s killing spree was interrupted in 1977 when he was arrested and charged with a Colorado murder, but he escaped custody while being transported to a court hearing.

Bundy was caught again in Florida in 1978, but only after a brutal raid on a Florida State University sorority house in Tallahassee. Bundy confessed to 30 homicides, although it is suspected his death toll was much higher. Bundy was executed by the state of Florida in 1989.

Grace’s experts for this episode include serial killer historian Peter Vronksy, author of “Sons of Cain: A History of Serial Killers from the Stone Age to the Present,” and former SVU detective Steven Lampley, author of “Outside Your Door” — a collection of stories and cases from his police career.
