Theodore Robert Bundy was born on November 24, 1946, in Burlington, Vermont.
Bundy is often described as having a rough childhood. He spent his early years with his maternal grandparents, who raised him as their son, and Bundy thought his mother was his sister, said Al Carlisle, a prison psychologist who once interviewed Bundy, in the documentary "The Ted Bundy Tapes." He apparently didn't find out who his birth mother was until later in life.
Forensic psychologist and FBI and law enforcement consultant Darrel Turner told INSIDER previously that Bundy exhibited signs of conduct disorder as a child.
"He also looked at violent pornography at a young age and read detective magazines voraciously," Turner told INSIDER. "There is a large body of law enforcement that believes he killed a neighborhood girl when he was still a teenager."
Bundy's first attack is believed to be in January of 1974.
It's important to note that this was Bundy's first known attack. He assaulted 18-year-old Karen Sparks, who was a student at the University of Washington, by breaking into her apartment, sexually assaulting her, and beating her.
She survived, but she sustained severe brain damage and has no memory of what had happened to her, according to "Inside Edition."
Lynda Ann Healy was his first confirmed murder just one month later.
Healy was another student at UW. Bundy also broke into her apartment and abducted her on February 1. He later confessed to her murder, according to the AP.
