Summary
New DNA technology has allowed police to finally link notorious serial killer Ted Bundy to the brutal rape and murder of 17-year-old Laura Ann Aime. The teenager was found a month after she went missing from a Halloween party in 1974, her body naked, bound and badly beaten. DNA sitting in an evidence locker for more than 50 years was finally able to be recognized and matched to Bundy’s, creating a DNA profile that investigators say can now be used to provide answers in other unsolved cases where Bundy was a suspect.

| 0:02.5 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:06.0 | Hey there, folks. |
| 0:07.2 | He hasn't killed anybody since the 70s, but they are still solving Ted Bundy's murders. |
| 0:16.2 | And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. |
| 0:19.0 | Presents and Roe, we are presenting now is an unbelievable story of them now confirming that Ted Bundy did, in fact, kill a woman in 1974. |
| 0:31.5 | Correct. So, yes, this month, the Utah Sheriff's Office was able to proudly say this case is officially closed. |
| 0:41.8 | They finally confirmed that Ted Bundy, obviously the notorious serial killer, |
| 0:47.4 | killed a young woman. |
| 0:49.2 | She was 17 years old at the time. |
| 0:51.3 | Her name was Laura Ann Amy 52 years ago. It took them 52 years to bring closure for Laura and Amy's family. It's remarkable. |
| 1:02.1 | Didn't I see that, was that her sister? Says, I didn't even realize it was still an active open case. I didn't know they were still working on it. |
| 1:09.0 | Yep. That is amazing that this |
| 1:11.1 | was able to be done. And Rose, I guess, first, uh, he was always linked to this death, yes, |
| 1:18.3 | but they were never able to prove it. The way they described it was before his execution and |

| 1:29.4 | police that he was responsible for it, but he didn't give any details. He didn't give any |
| 1:34.3 | information to detectives that would make it able for them to connect him directly to the |
| 1:39.3 | case and be able to prove that he in fact, yes, did kill Laura and Amy. He just kind of said, yeah, yeah, probably, uh-huh. So it certainly didn't even come close to rising to the level where they could say, we know the Ted Bundy killed this young woman. Is he the most notorious? I'm just thinking about that as we're sitting here. I think about serial killers that we've known. I think about the Zodiac killer, |

| 2:06.0 | Gacy are the two, and maybe Jeffrey Dahmer. Those are the three big ones that are always linked |
