During the 1970s, Bundy assaulted and murdered numerous young women.

Many of the serial killer's victims regarded him as incredibly charismatic and handsome. It was these traits that led Bundy to escape suspicion for years.

It's believed Bundy killed at least 30 victims across at least seven US states, however the true number of Bundy's victims is still unknown.

During Bundy's trial, he was able to escape twice from custody.

In the first instance, Bundy was free for six days. But in the second escape, Bundy sexually assaulted and murdered Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy, assaulted Kathy Kleiner and Karen Chandler, and murdered a 12-year-old girl.

Finally, after being caught once again, Bundy was convicted and placed on death row in Florida.
