Ted Bundy, born Theodore Cowell in Burlington, Vermont was an American serial killer who killed 49+ women;he killed from 1974-1978 in seven different states. Bundy raped and murdered his victims and sometimes committed necrophilia, a process where you have sexual relations with a dead body. Most serial killers have a victim type, meaning they searched for a specific type of person that they wanted to kill. Bundy's victims were all pretty brunettes who reminded him of his ex-fiance who cut off their engagement.

Ted Bundy is an example of one of the worst type of serial killers, the enticing one. He was handsome, smart, charismatic, and (from what his victims know) wounded. There was no way he could possibly want to harm them. But they were wrong, there are many serial killers who were very smart and knew excatly how to use that to their advantage when "picking up" their victims. Smart serial killers make plans and "act out" the situation in which they win their victims over.
There was mainly one way that Bundy captured the many victims he murdered. He did this by faking an arm injury and would ask them for help with his books, bag, whatever it was that he had that he  used as a "prop." Bundy also impersonated a police officer and lured a young women to his car when he was too far from his car to ask her for help. He asked her to check to see if anything from her own car was missing after he reported that someone had been seen trying to break into her car.

Safety tips

• If anyone asks you for help to their car, don't.  Though there is a slight chance that that person might really need your help but there is a higher chance that they don't. It's not worth the risk. 
• If you do want to get some type of help for him/her you can go to an officer or security and tell them someone needs help in the parking lot. 
• If a person of authority asks you to accompany them to their vehicle and it isn't a marked police car, do not go. 
• When asked to file a complaint reply that you will follow through on your own, or offer to follow his vehicle to the police station. If you didn't see the incident occur there is nothing you can say anyway.

            "I wish I could stop but I couldn't. It was my only thrill and happiness."

This quote was said by Dennis Nilsen, a serial killer from London, England. Nilson was convicted of the murder of 15 young men. He often met the men at bars and would talk and drink with them until the night fell. When the men went home with him they engaged in sexual acts and to avoid being "lonely" Nilson killed them after they tried to go to their own homes for the night. During an interview when asked why he didn't just stop killing the quote above is how Dennis Nilsen replied.
