Ted Bundy (full name Theodore Robert Bundy) had all the tools to lure women toward him. He was a charming individual who’d pick women up in a car and ask them if they needed a lift. After his arrest in 1978, he denied the accusations of murder for almost a decade. However, he later confessed to murdering over 30 people in a 4-year span, from 1974 to 1978.
