A True ZombieTed Bundy to this day is one of the biggest serial killers in America’s history. Around 1974 he began a large killing spree of young white women. What fueled him to kill all those women? Many different elements are put together to build a monstrous serial killer like Ted Bundy. Serial killers are always portrayed as a crazy guy with a mask and a chainsaw but that is the complete opposite of Ted Bundy. He was actually a smart clean cut upcoming lawyer that looked and even acted like a normal person. But he was far from normal, Theodore Bundy once said “We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, and we are everywhere. And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow.” Ted Bundy was born Theodore Robert Cowell on November 24, 1946 in Vermont. His mother Eleanor Louise Cowell didn’t know who was the father of her child, so her parents claimed Ted as there son and so he grew up unaware that his sister was actually his mother. He would not find out the truth about his real mother until years later. Ted’s actual grandfather Samuel Codwell is part of the reason why he grew up to be violent. Samuel was an abusive father that physically harmed his children.
