On October 9, 1980, Ted Bundy married Carole Ann Boone, a woman he had met while working for the Department of Emergency Services in Washington, the agency that coordinated rescue teams for some of his victims. At the time Bundy was on trial in Florida for the murder of 12-year-old Kimberly Leach, and Boone was on the stand as a character witness. (Bundy had already been sentenced to death for the murders of Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy.) Using an obscure Florida law, Bundy proposed, Boone accepted, and the couple were officially married. While Bundy was on death row, they reportedly had several conjugal visits—Bundy likely bribed guards since such visits were prohibited—and Boone later gave birth to a daughter. The couple divorced in 1986.
