Victim Studies 004: Ted Bundy
Content: After his arrest in 1975, Bundy was made to take many psychiatric examinations. It was determined, at the time, that he was a sociopath. Sociopaths are thought to know and understand what is right and wrong, but it does not sway their decisions. Bundy claimed to not believe in guilt and even until the day he was executed would not take responsibility for his actions. Throughout his time in prison and court he blamed pornography, his mother, police, society, his grandfather, the media, his absent father figure and on some occasions he blamed his victims for looking too vulnerable. Prior to his death Bundy began to give confessions concerning his murders. It is thought that he was confessing not because he felt any form of guilt, but because he wanted to avoid the death penalty for as long as possible. On January 24, 1989 Bundy was executed by electric chair. Although Bundy confessed to approximately 36 murders, police believe that he murdered more than 100 women during his serial series. Sources:
