Ted Bundy: The boy next door
He was 31 years old in 1978. He was a handsome man, by most people's accounts. Its physical properties have read in a personal ad in the back of each local newspaper or on a website for singles. He was tall, slender with his height and weight proportional to its slim, athletic build. He studied law and also had a degree in psychology. He played tennis at the local country clubs and wore white tennis shoes. His name was Theodore Robert Bundy. His friends called him "Ted".
When Ted refers, most people noticed that he was handsome, good-looking, or attractive. "It was a special dapperness about him," writes Richard W. Larsen, Bundy: the conscious foreigners. The men envied his good looks and long brown hair, sets Larsen. Ted was often described words such as: "very sharp young boy" or "good-looking young man" or "rather handsome" or "terribly charismatic" or "rather good-natured" or even Ted fourth grade teacher him as a reminder "Impeccable." "happy, well-adjusted child ... to learn always eager," said Larsen.
In 1972, Ted received a bachelor's degree in psychology and was in republican politics and campaign efforts actively. Then the next year, in 1973 he was an assistant for a few months to Ross Davis, chairman of the Washington State Republican Party, who recalled later that "Ted, a super bright guy was" and an "effective workers" writes Larsen , in terms of what Davis said. Davis' wife, Sarah, called in the same interview that "We just loved all Ted." Those
that Ted knew him as him intelligent, articulate, and confident. "All awards, all praise filled memories of Ted in place was a portrait of an intelligent young man of power, heat and sincerity to make," says Larsen.
Then, three years later, in 1975, some news reporters were called the Inter States Law Enforcement Conference, the "Ted Squad" because thirty detectives and prosecutors had in Aspen "gathered dozens of similar unsolved cases to compare the murdered girls and young women in several states - California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado, "said Larsen. The focus and interest in Ted Bundy had starting with policemen and detectives in circulation. Young women under suspicious circumstances and in alarming frequency disappeared.
The "Ted Squad" Ted has not deterred; However, the public seemed to have only encouraged him. Ted magnificent view of himself and his narcissistic tendencies began surface, as he welcomed the attention and fame after his arrest and during his trial. He was obviously "Chipper" after his release from prison, says Larsen, and even boasted that he as the prison of his time "paid eight-week course, by the county, in the criminal justice system." Ted confidence also some hearings provisional court was seen when he told reporters in the corridor that he welcomed an attempt wanted to clear his name, and wanted "it's all outdoors," says Larsen.
The investigations into the deaths of so many victims continued with similar physical phenomena. Women who were known Ted were asked during police interviews about Ted's sexual preferences. A former girlfriend described sex with Ted as more of a "slam-bam-thanks ma'am sex," says Larsen. Cas Richter, Ted longtime girlfriend, reported in a separate interview, Ted moved experimenting with different sex and start methods. He had asked her once if he could tie them. She agreed initially, but after three or four times, she decided it did not like, and cut him off. She later recalled that while she was tied up, strangled Ted.
sexual behavior Ted began to develop in a profile. Despite thousands of interviews, detectives were never able to "discover a proof homosexual tendencies or activities in Bundy life," said Larsen, who would have been the most law enforcement agencies as being "an expectable feature for a man suspected of violence against women. "
the sexual behavior of a suspect is crucial for investigators. Sexual deviancy, especially homosexuality and the preference for anal sex, is an important clue to the underlying psychological symptoms or personality traits that motivate certain behaviors; especially when the suspect a sexual sadist. "Some examiners this behavior into account [anal sex] sadistic in any context, because it is the infliction of pain linked to a victim with a sexual act involved," writes Brent E. Turvey, author of criminal profiling: an introduction to behavioral evidence analysis.
There have been numerous reports of Bundy's "necrophilia and other postmortem fantasy-oriented behavior," said Turvey. The psychosexual orientation of the perpetrator is a critical factor when offenders to assess motives and behavior. Considering that no longer alive, most victims of Ted were rooted in the psyche of a sadist to describe his sexual behavior, prosecution was instructed that the descriptions given by former girlfriends during interviews that uncover helped them, the animalistic properties , Victims of sexual homicide have not testify the luxury.
analyze psychologists and criminologists behavioral characteristics of separate and different perspectives. The psychologist specializes in the diagnosis of certain known persons to determine whether there is mental illness. Criminologists develop typologies of offender behavior by unidentified suspects on experience, crime statistics and behavioral analysis of crime scenes and potential suspects. However, each group is committed to general behavioral assumptions regarding the complex composition of a sexual sadist. "Psychopathy and sadism offender classifications are determined behaviorally," said Turvey. This means that the behavior of the offender largely determines the diagnosis. Ted "is widely known as a psychopathic sexual sadist," says Turvey.
The primary characteristic of sadism is "the intentional infliction of physical or mental suffering on a conscious victim, capable of pain or humiliation for the purpose of the offender to experience sexual satisfaction," said Turvey. Sexual sadism was the main subject of Ted Bundy criminal behavior and the subsequent murder of at least thirty-three young women who were victims during the early 1970s.
Ted not live under the sides of the society, as in the Ted Bundy investigation by all parties reports; Instead, he interacted with business leaders and politicians, while hiding his weapons of choice that he wore in his yellow Volkswagen Bug with him. Ted was the man who could mix with and mingle with intellectual sophistication in the fabric of society. He was socially adept and able for almost ten years vary from one murder to another, without getting caught. He was a handsome man, by most people's accounts. He did not "see" like a criminal.
