Utah authorities link Ted Bundy to additional 1970s homicide through DNA evidence

Recent testing ties the serial killer to a second cold‑case murder and confirms his connection to a teenage victim whose remains were found decades ago.

State investigators said new DNA testing connects Ted Bundy to another homicide from the 1970s, adding to the cases already linked to the killer.

Earlier, officials attributed a 1974 cold case to Bundy based on their ongoing review of evidence.

Authorities announced that DNA analysis also confirms Bundy's involvement in the death of a Utah teenager.

A hunter had discovered the teenager's body more than half a century ago, leading to the recent forensic examination.

These findings expand the known scope of Bundy's crimes in Utah, according to the agencies conducting the investigations.
