his case
The FBI verified 36 murders, for which he was sentenced to death and executed by electric chair on January 24, 1989.Bundy's victims found him attractive and charismatic, and he took advantage of this to gain their trust. He usually approached them in public places and pretended to be disabled or injured, or pretended to be an authority figure. After intimidating them, he attacked them and took them to a more remote place. He would sometimes visit the places where the murders had occurred for hours and care for the corpse and have sexual relations with it until decomposition or destruction by wild animals made any further interaction impossible. He decapitated at least twelve of his victims and kept some of the heads in his apartment for a time as souvenirs. On some occasions, he simply broke into residences and beat victims to death while they slept.
