Ted Bundy confessed to 30 murders, though some believe he killed hundreds. In 1979–80 he was convicted of three murders in Florida: two college students and a 12-year-old girl. He was executed in 1989. In the ensuing decades, more murders were linked to Bundy through advanced DNA testing. These include the 1974 murders of Laura Ann Aime and Melissa Ann Smith in Utah.
