当局周二宣布,DNA将连环杀手泰德·邦德与犹他州一名少女的死亡联系起来,此时距一名猎人发现她的尸体已过去50多年。
DNA connects serial killer Ted Bundy to the death of a Utah teenager, authorities announced Tuesday, more than 50 years after her body was discovered by a hunter.
邦德已于1989年死亡,但由于DNA检测技术的进步,其已确认受害者的人数仍在不断增加。20世纪70年代,他在多个州杀害了至少30名妇女和女孩,还有更多女性逃脱或受伤幸存。
Bundy has been dead since 1989, but the tally of his confirmed victims continues to grow due to advances in DNA testing. He killed at least 30 women and girls in multiple states in the 1970s, and many more escaped or survived with injuries.
犹他州萨米特县检察官表示,调查人员确信邦德应对1974年杀害17岁的梅丽莎·安·史密斯负责,这起死亡案件长期以来一直被列为悬案。
The Summit County, Utah, prosecutor said investigators are satisfied that Bundy was responsible for killing 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith in 1974, a death that had long been listed as a cold case.
邦德因1978年在佛罗里达州立大学Chi Omega女生联谊会宿舍杀害两名女性,于1989年在佛罗里达州被处以电椅死刑。
Bundy was executed in 1989 by electric chair in Florida for the 1978 murders of two women at the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University.
