DNA evidence 50 years later confirmed Ted Bundy's guilt in the murder of a young woman
A DNA test has definitively confirmed that serial killer Ted Bundy was involved in the 1974 murder of a 17-year-old girl in Utah.
Law enforcement officials reported this.
The victim, Laura Ann Amy, disappeared after a Halloween party, and her body was found a month later.
Investigators had long suspected Bundy, but the case remained unsolved for decades.
The breakthrough was made possible by new DNA analysis technologies, which allowed for the creation of an accurate genetic profile.
It was compared to the national database and found to be a perfect match for Bundy’s DNA.
The criminal had previously partially confessed to this murder, but without providing details.
Ted Bundy is linked to at least 30 murders of women in the United States in the 1970s.
