Ted Bundy Biography english Documentary part 1

His good looks and charm helped America's worst serial killer escape justice for years as he crossed the United States, torturing and killing scores of young women. Theodore Robert Cowell was born in a Vermont home for unwed mothers on 24 November 1946, to Louise Cowell, and was raised initially by his grandparents. Teddy, as he was known, believed that his grandparents were his parents, and that his mother was his elder sister, a circumstance that was fairly common in illegitimate births at that time. When his mother married Johnnie Bundy in 1951, her son took his stepfather's name, and was known thereafter as Ted Bundy.
