预计犹他州当局将于周二把臭名昭著的连环杀手泰德·邦迪与另一起数十年前的凶杀案联系起来。此时距他被处决已近40年，而几个月前，DNA证据刚刚将他与一名17岁女孩的被害案联系在一起。
Utah authorities are expected to link notorious serial killer Ted Bundy to another decades-old homicide Tuesday, nearly 40 years after he was executed and months after DNA evidence tied him to the killing of a 17-year-old girl.
萨米特县警长办公室和县检察官预计将在周二的新闻发布会上确认受害者身份，并公布将邦迪与该命案联系起来的证据。官员们预计还将解释调查人员为何要了结这起数十年前的案件。
The Summit County Sheriff's Office and county attorney are expected to identify the victim during a news conference Tuesday and reveal the evidence linking Bundy to the killing. Officials are also expected to explain why investigators are closing the decades-old case.
据美联社报道，受害者身份尚未公布，但1974年17岁的梅丽莎·安·史密斯的死亡长期以来一直被列为悬案。
The victim's identity has not been released, though the 1974 death of 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith has long been listed as a cold case, The Associated Press reported.
周二的宣布大约在六个月前犹他县当局利用DNA证据将邦迪与1974年17岁的劳拉·安·艾梅被害案联系起来之后。
Tuesday's announcement comes about six months after authorities in Utah County used DNA evidence to link Bundy to the 1974 killing of 17-year-old Laura Ann Aime.
艾梅于1974年10月31日离开万圣节派对去买香烟后失踪。几天后，徒步者在美洲叉峡谷附近发现了她的尸体。调查人员认定艾梅遭到强奸、勒颈和谋杀。
Aime vanished after leaving a Halloween party to buy cigarettes on Oct. 31, 1974. Her body was discovered by hikers near American Fork Canyon days later. Investigators determined Aime had been raped, strangled and murdered.
几十年来，邦迪一直被认为是艾梅死亡案的头号嫌疑人。就在她失踪前两个月，他刚开始在犹他大学学习法律。
For decades, Bundy was considered the prime suspect in Aime's death. He began studying law at the University of Utah just two months before she disappeared.
这起案件悬而未决长达51年，直到犹他县警长办公室的调查人员利用新的DNA技术，从艾梅遗骸上发现的体液中提取出一份男性DNA图谱。
The case remained unsolved for 51 years until investigators with the Utah County Sheriff's Office used new DNA technology to develop a male DNA profile from bodily fluids found on Aime's remains.
该图谱被录入联合DNA索引系统（CODIS），在佛罗里达州匹配成功。进一步分析最终将该DNA与邦迪联系起来。犹他县警长迈克·史密斯在4月的一次新闻发布会上说：“我们了结了这起案件，更重要的是，为艾梅一家带来了了结。”
The profile was entered into the Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS, which produced a match in Florida. Additional analysis ultimately linked the DNA to Bundy." We bring this case to a closure and more importantly closure to the Aime family," Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith said at an April news conference.
犹他县警长办公室随后与其他执法机构共享了这份DNA图谱，希望借此确认更多邦迪的受害者身份。官员们当时表示，他们相信这一突破可能有助于破解另一桩悬案，但未提供更多细节。据美联社报道，邦迪在20世纪70年代期间在多个州杀害了至少30名女性和女孩。
The Utah County Sheriff's Office later shared the DNA profile with other law enforcement agencies in hopes of identifying more of Bundy's victims. Officials said at the time that they believed the breakthrough could help resolve another cold case, though they did not provide additional details. Bundy killed at least 30 women and girls across multiple states during the 1970s, the AP reported.
连环杀手的前妻与凶手同床共枕8年，从未怀疑过他致命的双重生活。在生命的最后日子里，邦迪供认了一系列谋杀案，其中包括警方此前并不知晓的罪行，但并非所有案件都得到了证实。
SERIAL KILLER'S EX-WIFE SLEPT BESIDE MURDERER FOR 8 YEARS, NEVER SUSPECTED HIS DEADLY DOUBLE LIFEIn his final days, Bundy confessed to a series of killings, including crimes that had previously been unknown to police, though not all of the cases have been confirmed.
他与1974年至1978年间在佛罗里达州、犹他州、科罗拉多州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州发生的谋杀案有关联。
He has been linked to killings in Florida, Utah, Colorado, Oregon and Washington between 1974 and 1978.
邦迪因1979年谋杀两名佛罗里达州立大学学生而被定罪并判处死刑，次年又因强奸并谋杀一名12岁女孩再次被判处死刑。他于1989年在佛罗里达州被处以电椅死刑。
Bundy was convicted and sentenced to death for murdering two Florida State University students in 1979 and received another death sentence the following year for the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl. He was executed in Florida's electric chair in 1989.
