What drives a person to want to kill or harm another individual? What can cause someone to reach their breaking point and want to harm another person? The following report you are about to read will take you on a journey. You will learn who "Ted Bundy" is and why he chose to live a double life. Ted was a special individual who only killed women he had a thing for. Ted Bundy was like a tiger in the wild and women were his prey. When he went out he always targeted vulnerable women. Ted would sweet-talk them until they trusted him, then he would wait until they were alone and kill them. In the following paragraphs, you will learn about Ted Bundy's background, where he comes from, what kind of parents he had, and the way he was raised. Why did Ted only target women? What happened in his life that made him not care about women? Ted Bundy was born Theodore Robert Cowell to Eleanor Louise Cowell was born on November 24, 1946. On his birth certificate Lloyd Marshall was listed as his father, and his mother later said another man was his father. Eleanor was abused and molested by her father until she had Theodore. Many people believed that her father was the father of her child. For the first three years of Ted's life he and his mother stayed with his parents in Philadelphia. At that time people would shame you for having an illegitimate child. Eleanor's parents decided that they would claim Ted as their own and Eleanor would be his older sister. The rest of the family agreed to go along with him. Even though it bothered Ted's mother, he knew that the decision he made had to be made. When Ted took over, he and his cousins ​​never saw eye to eye. They always make fun of him and insult him. One of his cousins ​​kept calling him a bastard and... middle of paper... January 24, 1989. He was a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure in hurting people by causing them pain. Ted Bundy stated that “He was the most ruthless son of a bitch you would ever meet.” In conclusion I learned that you don't always have to come from a disruptive background to become a serial killer. You may come from a rich background with good grades and become a murderer. I still couldn't understand why Ted only targeted women. The one thing I learned from researching Ted was that he was the sweetest person in the world. This is how everyone starts out sweet and caring. I didn't understand how he lived separate lives and how his girlfriend didn't know. I also couldn't understand why he didn't hurt his girlfriend if he targeted women. If Ted were alive today I would ask him why he did it. Why would you hurt so many innocent women and not care?.
