Bundy’s rise to infamy can be attributed to his horrific crimes and the way he manipulated his victims and the legal system. In the 1970s, Bundy embarked on a series of brutal murders, targeting young women across several states, including Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, and Florida. His modus operandi involved luring women into his car by pretending to be injured or impersonating authority figures. Once they were isolated, Bundy would overpower and kill them, often sexually assaulting them before and after death.
