Ted Bundy was an American serial killer and rapist, one of the most notorious criminals of the late 20th century. He confessed to 30 murders (some sources say 36) but was believed to have killed many more. He was executed in 1989 after being convicted of three murders. Despite the appalling nature of his crimes—he often beat, tortured, and sexually assaulted his victims before strangling them—Bundy became something of a celebrity, capturing attention for his charm and intelligence. He inspired a series of popular novels and films.
