We can approach this question with many doubts. We have to begin stating that under suspicion was 14-year-old paper boy Ted Bundy, the kid from the next block. Another fact is that she was snatched from her home at night. Bundy was convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to prison as an eyewitness and Bundy's gas card receipts placed him at the scene. Getting gas in a middle of a crime is not a smart thing to do; he should have filled the tank before and pay with cash. That was not very organized.
After his capture in Florida, it took years in death row for Bundy to spit out crimes and clean himself. Ted had been confessing for days, hoping to postpone the electric chair. Experts did know he lied confessing to a larger number than the ones he committed.
Bundy wrote "you have been misled by rumors about me…I had nothing to do with her disappearance…At the time I was a normal 14 year old boy…I had absolutely no desire to harm anyone."
In his confessions to extend his life, he couldn't tell some places that bodies were found in Colorado and Washington. If he had something with those crimes, he could have a change to bargain. Having killed this girl, he would have something good to make a deal by leading then to the burial site. Most thinkers don't think he did it. In the other hand, the reason that he became a suspect at 14 years old points to a fact; that persons knew there was something wrong with him.

What was Ted Bundy's crime span?
Bundy's crime spree lasted from 1973 until his capture in Florida and 1978. But it seems likely that Bundy's first victim was Ann Marie Burr in 1962 when Bundy was only 14 years old.
Could you have some examples of good books to read on Ted Bundy?
I can name my favorites, which are based on the accuracy and research on the part of the author. Anne Rule's The Stranger Beside Me, is in my opinion, the Bundy bible. Rule was a personal friend of Bundy's during his college years in Washington state. Ted Bundy: Conversations With A Killer written by Steven Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth gives the reader a glimpse into the Bundy after his crimes. They did a very competent job. And lastly, Rebecca Morris' Ted and Ann, explores the possibility that Bundy's first victim was Ann Marie Burr, abducted from her home and never found, when Bundy was the Burr's paperboy, at the time he was 14 years old.
What's the date of Ted Bundy's first kill on record?
When Ted began his operations, women began disappearing from college campuses around Washington and Oregon and then Utah. Lynda Ann Healy, a 21-year-old radio announcer, was among those who were missing but she is not in the record. There were eleven in Washington (including Parks, abducted in Oregon but killed in Washington), three of them unidentified. The record doesn't support a first victim killed by him. //It is possible that Bundy's first victim was eight year old Ann Marie Burr of Tacoma, WA. Burr went missing on August 31, 1961, abducted from her home on 14th St. Recently DNA from Bundy was entered into the national data base hoping that there would be a match between Bundy and Burr. No such luck. The samples of Ann Marie's DNA had been contaminated, rendering the tests useless. Before his execution in Florida's electric chair in 1989, Bundy refused to confess to Burr's disappearance. In the next breath he told his interviewer that there are some things a killer won't ever admit to, one of those things being the murder of a child. If Burr was not Bundy's first kill then next in line would be Lynda Ann Healy, who disappeared on February 1, 1974. It should be noted that although Bundy did confess to over 20 murders, he was also a notorius lier and was very evasive about the correct number of victims but hinted that the total was much higher, possibly over 100.
What facts support Ted Bundy's involvement in the abduction of Ann Marie Burr?
Ann Marie Burr was eight years old at the time of her disappearance on August 30, 1961. Many feel it is too much of a coincidence that the Burr's home in Tacoma WA crossed paths with a 14 year old paperboy named Ted Bundy. Bundy denied it, Bundy's mother denied it, and even the Burr's had doubts that Bundy was responsible. Here are the facts related to Burr's abduction. Just hours before Bundy died in Florida's electric chair former Seattle policeman Robert Keppel interviewed Bundy in the hope that he would disclose more gravesites and possibly clear up cold cases. Bundy explained to Keppel that there are some murders that a serial killer would never admit. Murders committed at a young age. Murder of a young child. A murder that took place close to the killer's home. All three apply to the Burr case. When Keppel asked Bundy about Burr he abruptly brought the interview to an end. Bundy was in fact questioned within the first days after the disappearance by police and was very evasive and uncomfortable. Lack of evidence left police with little choice but to release Bundy. Ann's mother found the door and window in the livingroom wide open, below the window was a footprint made by a sneaker. The imprint was small and for a time police thought perhaps the abductor may have been Asian, who are usually smaller in size than Caucasions. Ann's father drove through the entire neighborhood hoping to find his daughter. He saw a boy standing by a ditch a few blocks from the Burr house. He later identified the boy as Ted Bundy after police showed him Bundy's picture. The Burr family stayed in the house where they lived at the time of Ann's disappearance for six years. Reluctant to change addresses in case Ann would someday come back. Mrs. Burr died in 2008, her husband years before her. She never stopped hoping that she would some day see her daughter again. Chances are good that the mystery of Ann Marie's disappearance will never be resolved. I believe that there are cold case detectives working on the case at present. The best chance of resolution was lost forever in January 1989 when Bundy paid the ultimate price for his crimes, a date with the electric chair.
When was Lauren Ann Bundy born?

How did Ted Bundy choose his victims?
Victim selection is somewhat of a mystery, many times even to the killer himself. Many serial killers choose victims that fit a certain physical criteria that appeals to the killer. Ted Bundy's victims had obvious similarites, dark hair parted in the middle, and of college age (usually). Dr. Helen Morrison, in her book My Life Among The Serial Killers, put forth an interesting theory. She feels that some victim selection may be similar to the physical attraction that happens between two people as they meet and fall in love. The 'spark' of some kind of chemical and/or physical reaction when people are attacted to each other romatically. It seems like a sound theory. Footnote:The exception to the above victims is Kimberly Leach, the 12 year old who had the misfortune of being Bundy's last kill. It also should be noted that Ann Marie Burr, a young girl living in Tacoma, WA, is believed by many to be Bundy's first victim. The Burr's home was in the direct path of 14 year old Bundy's paper route. Ann Marie was abducted from her bedroom in 1963. Her body was never found, no arrests have been made. Bundy denied he killed her even as he was escorted to Florida's electric chair.

How long was Ted Bundy on death row?
I guess it would depend on which victims you think he killed. There is compelling circumstantial evidence that Bundy killed for the first time when he was 14 years old. Ann Marie Burr, an 8 year old Tacoma girl went missing from her home in 1961. Not only did Bundy know Burr (she took piano lessons from Bundy's uncle) but the victim's father spotted Bundy in the neighborhood the morning of her disappearence. Recently law enforcement were hoping to close this old case with DNA evidence but were disappointed with the results. There was not enough DNA for an accurate profile. This does not clear Bundy as Burr's killer, just that there was not enough to prove she was his first victim. Bundy began his crimes in earnest in 1974 and was finally arrested for the final time in June 1978 in Florida approximately 1 week after he killed 12 year old Kimberly Leach. If Burr was Bundy's first victim his killing career spanned from 1961 until his arrest in Florida in 1978. The bulk of his murders were between the years 1974 and 1978.
