Psychology of a Serial Killer Ted Bundy was an American serial killer, rapist, kidnapper and necrophiliac who assaulted and murdered at least 30 women, and most likely many more, in a number of states between 1974 and 1978. Bundy employed two separate and very distinct modi operandi. In both scenarios his assault methods of choice were blunt force trauma and strangulation as every recovered skull, bar one, showed evidence of blunt trauma, often with broken front teeth. Every cadaver on which an autopsy was possible exhibited evidence of strangulation. He purposely avoided firearms as murder weapons due to the noise they made and the ballistic evidence they left behind.
Authorities were stunned by what they described as the "senseless violence," which spanned about 25 miles of normally placid suburbia.

"This is my last day." Police discovered the first victim early Tuesday at a beige-and-white stucco condo in an upscale Ladera Ranch community.
