Good looking, charming, intelligent, well educated. Many people with these traits go on to make a positive name for themselves; however, one man took this concept in a different direction. Ted Bundy exploited his good looks and charm to his advantage taking the lives of young women and girls who were too trusting, and too vulnerable. And his path of terror made him one of the most memorable serial killers of all time.
Ted Bundy’s full name was Theodore Robert Cowell, he was born at the Elizabeth Lund home for unwed mothers in Burlington, Vermont on November 24 in the year of 1946 to Eleanor Louise Cowell a single unwed mother.

He continued to date Kloepfer as well, though neither woman was aware of each other's existence. Bundy continued courting Brooks, who flew to Seattle several times to stay with him.

He found a ski mask, a second mask fashioned from pantyhose, a crowbar, handcuffs, trash bags, a coil of rope, and an ice pick, and other items initially assumed to be used for burglary.

Detective Jerry Thompson remembered a similar suspect and car description from the 1974 DaRonch kidnapping, and Bundy's name from Kloepfer's December 1974 phone call. In a search of Bundy's apartment, police found a guide to Colorado ski resorts with a checkmark by the Wildwood Inn, and a brochure advertising the Viewmont High School play in Bountiful (which was the area that Debra Kent had disappeared). but nothing sufficiently incriminating to hold him. He was released on his own recognizance. (Bundy later said in an interview that the searchers missed a collection of Polaroid photographs of his victims hidden in the utility room, which he destroyed after he was released.) Salt Lake City police had later been placed Bundy on 24-hour surveillance, and Thompson flew to
