The Guilty Surrounding Bundy's Cases

After years of killing, Bundy was finally captured. He was found driving a stolen vehicle with a stolen license while driving in Penescola (Margaritoff). After two days in custody, Bundy finally revealed his true identity (Margaritoff). Police were suspicious about Bundy and linked him to the Chi Omega Sorority killings (Margaritoff). Investigators had eyewitnesses and evidence linking Bundy to three murders, including a mold of his teeth from the bite marks found on the sorority girl (Montaldo).
