Bundy's Body Count Rises: Utah Teen Added

0:00It's April 2nd. This is Global News Today World Coverage, powered by AI. Ted Bundy's body count just went up again, thanks to modern DNA tech. Utah Sheriff's Office confirmed this week that the serial killer responsible for at least 30 murders also killed 17-year-old Laura Ann Aime back in 1974. She vanished on Halloween night in Utah, and her body turned up a month later on a highway side. That had been a suspect for decades, but now his full DNA profile seals it. Bundy terrorized women and girls across states like Washington, Utah, Colorado, and Florida from 1974 on, often breaking into homes. Or luring them with fake cop stories. He racked up dozens of victims, though exact numbers stay murky since he confessed to more before his execution. Compared to killers like Gary Ridgeway with 49, or Samuel Little over 60, Bundy still ranks high in horror. Folks were drawn to him during his 1979 trial, calling him charming and handsome despite the

Even the judge noted his smarts, but condemned the shocking evil. Investigators preserved evidence from Aime's case perfectly, letting new forensics match Bundy's profile and close this coal file after 50 years. They expect another Utah case to wrap up soon, with the same tech. DNA keeps rewriting history on guys like Bundy, bringing closure to families long after the chair dropped in 1989. Justice moves slow, but it don't stop.
