Ted Bundy

• Ted Bundy's Dna Added to Database

LOS ANGELES - The DNA profile of Ted Bundy, one of the United States' most notorious serial killers, was uploaded Friday into a national database in the hope that the new material will help solve murder cases that have gone cold over the years. Executed in January 1989, Bundy was linked to brutal murders in at least six states before he was captured in Florida after daring escapes elsewhere. He received three death sentences in two separate trials for three known Florida murders, perhaps the most famous of which was that of 12-year-old Kimberly Leach. It was that conviction that put Bundy in the electric chair in Raiford Prison in Starke, Fla.

• Museum Displays Serial Killer Ted Bundy's Volkswagen in D.C.

WASHINGTON -- It may not be the Lincoln Memorial or the Smithsonian, but the tan 1968 Volkswagen Beetle driven by Ted Bundy, one of the most prolific serial killers in history, is now a tourist attraction in the nation's capital. The car, with spots of rust, missing trim, a cracked windshield and a somewhat tattered interior from where police tore it apart looking for evidence, sits in the lobby of the National Museum of Crime and Punishment.

• Terri Schiavo Deserves the Same Rights As Ted Bundy

WASHINGTON, March 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Ted Bundy, the BTK killer and others like them currently receive more protection under the law than Terri Schiavo, the Florida woman who has been sentenced to death by starvation and dehydration by the Florida Courts. However, if Congress passes "The Incapacitated Persons Legal Protection Act," they can rightfully change that. Ken Connor, Chairman of the Center for a Just Society and former legal counsel to Gov. Jeb Bush and the state of Florida in defending "Terri's Law," released the following statement: The outrageous outcome of court rulings surrounding this case is this -- a convicted capital felon in Florida receives more due process protection than a disabled person at risk for starvation or dehydration because they have become burdensom...

• Terri Schiavo Vs. Ted Bundy

Linking the Terri Schiavo case to the death penalty is as unscrupulous as the now-infamous memo urging congressional Republicans to exploit a great political issue by intervening in the case. For weeks, bloggers and others accused Democrats of concocting the memo in a sequel to Rathergate. The document points out the political advantages of congressional action. Now the author has been outed.

• Is the President Responsible for Murder?

To the Editor: Suppose a murderer was running for the presidency and the name on the ballot was John Wayne Gacy or Ted Bundy. Both killed over 30 people and did so methodically and without remorse. Would you vote for such a person even if their political party was singing their praises? Of course not? What if that candidate donned $2000 suits, spoke your language and made alluring promises that you believed might benefit you?

• Dear Abby: ; Family of Sex Offender Urged to Act Cautiously at Holidays

DEAR ABBY: As a clinical psychologist, I believe your advice to "Protective Mom in the Midwest" (Oct. 26) was oversimplified. You told her she was right in not permitting her husband's brother, a registered sex offender, to visit the family during the holidays. She didn't want her 10-year-old daughter around him. You have made the common mistake of seeing everyone who carries the "registered sex offender" label as alike. They are no more alike than are people who drink too much. Some alcoholics get drunk, angry and violent, but most do not. Some sex offenders act like Ted Bundy, but most do not. Some are guilty only of having a younger girlfriend.
