In the cases of Ted Bundy, he was not just any regular murder. He was a serial killer. He thought outside of the box and got ahead of anyone he came in contact with. Bundy was facing two murder trials within a few years apart. Bundy was linked to thirty-six different murders in different states and chose to represent himself without a defense attorney. He became the main suspect in the 1978 murders in the Chi Omega sorority murder in Tallahassee. He was convicted for the Chi Omega murders on July 23.

Later a police officer’s daughter was approached by the Bundy and she got the lance plate numbers. Police ran the tags and the van he had stolen from the Chi Omega sorority house. The van contained a lot of valuable evidence including blood,...
