DNA links Ted Bundy to murder of 17-year-old Utah girl, sheriff says
Source: Reuters
April 1 (Reuters) - Utah officials announced on Wednesday that they were closing a five-decade-old case after finding "definitive proof" that American serial killer Ted Bundy killed a 17-year-old Utah girl.
The girl, Laura Ann Aime, went missing on the night of October 31, 1974, after leaving a party alone to make a purchase from a convenience store, the Utah County Sheriff's Office said.
Her body was found by two college students on Thanksgiving Day that year, according to authorities, who added that her body was found tossed several feet from the highway near State Road 92 in the American Fork Canyon.
"Case evidence similarities indicated that the manner of abuse and the likely cause of death was comparable to the modus operandi of Theodore 'Ted' Bundy," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

(55,176 posts)I've researched "Sociopath vs Psychopath" many times over the last 20 years and tRump is a psychopath. There IS a difference.
This is very scary since a psychopath is running the US. He will continue to do as he has been doing and he MUST be removed from office ASAP!!!!!
Every member of the House and Senate must bs sued for allowing this to continue for one more day!!!!,
HE MUST BE REMOVED !!!!!!!!!

(1,778 posts)Thats unsolved. Its generally accepted she was a Bundy victim. She was in Colorado, went missing, and was Bundys type.
Her murder has never officially attributed to him. The Utah case is not the only one like this.
