Theodore Robert Cowell ka janam 24 November 1946 mein Elizabeth Lund Home for
Unwed Mothers
, Vermont, Burlington, USA mein hua tha. Ted ke biological father ke baare mein koi bhi
publicly available information nahi hai.
Aur as for his mother, Ted ki maa ka naam Eleanor Louise Cowell tha. Eleanor ek bahut hi
deeply religious family se aati thi.
Back at that time,
jab koi kisi bahut hi religious family se belong karta tha, toh usse expected hota tha ki woh
parivaar ki izzat bachaye, strict gender roles follow kare, aur apne dharm ya jaati ke andar
hi shaadi kare.
Unke liye yeh bhi zaroori hota tha ki shaadi ke baad hi bacche ka plan ho — kyunki shaadi
se pehle maa banna society ki nazar mein sabse bada paap maana jaata tha.
Isi wajah se jab Ted ka janam hua, toh uske birth ki news ko public se chhupa liya gaya.
Ted ke janam ki khabar sirf Eleanor, uske parents aur woh nurse jinhone delivery ki thi —
sirf unhi logon ko pata thi.
Us waqt society itni harsh thi ki aise cases mein ladki ko hi blame kiya jaata tha. Isliye
Eleanor ki family ne, shame aur criticism se bachne ke liye yeh decide kiya ki Eleanor ke
parents Ted ki responsibility lenge.
Unhone Ted ko adopt karne ka ek jhoota naatak kiya, taaki koi unse sawaal na kare — aur
Eleanor ko jo ted ki real mother thi use Ted ki sister portray kiya gaya.
Yahaan tak ki ye baat Ted ko khud bhi pata nahi tha.
Usse lagta tha ki woh apne parents ke saath reh raha hai — aur Eleanor uski sister hai.
Ted bachpan se kaafi intelligent tha. Woh school mein studies mein excel karta tha. Uske
mentors bhi Ted ko pasand karte the for his early interest in academics.
Speaking of his house
uske ghar ka environment kaafi toxic tha. Ted ko khud ke he ghar me kaafi isolated
aur rejected feel karta tha
Is wajah se Ted ke class mates use shy aur socially awkward person ke roop mein describe
karte the. Ted ko lagta tha ki woh kahin fit nahi ho sakta.
Usse aksar interpersonal relationships samajhne mein dikkat hoti thi. Isi wajah se usne
apna poora schooling period isolation mein nikala — without having a single friend.
Woh is baat se apni khud ki identity like self doubt karne laga.
He started feeling frustrated.
Aur yeh frustration dheere dheere badhta gaya.
Kyuki ted ko na bachpan se woh basic care, love, aur protection mila hi nahi jo ek bache ko
apne parents ya close logon se milna chahiye. Aur jab ek bacha chhoti si age se hi emotional
connection feel nahi karta na, toh uska development wahi se bigadne lagta hai. Uske andar
trust aur attachment jaise emotions properly develop hi nahi ho paate.
You must’ve heard this —
“A child is not born a monster… they’re shaped into one.”
Aur Ted ke case mein, woh shape karne waala influence tha uska grandfather — Sam
Cowell.
Sam ki personality outwardly respectable but inwardly unstable thi.
Woh church jaata tha, apne aap ko ek disciplined aur proud family man batata tha — lekin
andar se woh ek short- tempered, controlling, aur emotionally cold insaan tha.
Sam often showed no empathy.
Woh animals ko brutually maar tha retha , aur logon ke saath verbally cruel hota tha.
Ted bhi dheere dheere wahi sab cheezein absorb karne laga
Jaise jaise time beetta gaya, Ted ke behaviour mein dheere dheere ajeeb aur unsettling changes
dikhne lage.
Apne andar ke frustration aur negative emotions ko nikalne ke liye, kafi early age se hi woh alag
alag tarah ki knives collect karne laga Phir unhi knives se woh chhoti chhoti insects ke body cut
karta, aur unhe sambhaal ke rakhta —aur phir parts as prize apne pass [Link] he really was
enjoying it ,
Aur yeh sab cheezein, din-ba-din aur intense hoti ja rahi thi
Ted ki aunty ke according, ek baar jab woh so rahi thi, toh Ted ne uske charo taraf knives
rakh diye — aur jab woh uthi, Ted use dekh kar kaafi creepy tarah se has raha tha.
Ted ke jo neighbours the, unhone bhi Ted ki complaints ki thi.
Ted par allegations the ki woh stray cats ko kapde pehna kar unhe aag laga deta tha.
Ted ko bachpan se hi logon se connect karne mein dikkat hoti thi.
Usne kabhi emotionally connect karna seekha hi nahi.
Isliye usne dusron ke emotions ko observe karna aur unhe mimic karna shuru kiya.
May 19, 1951 — yeh wo din tha jab Ted ke liye sab kuch badal gaya.
Us din usse yeh sach pata chala ki jise woh hamesha apne parents samajhta tha, woh
actually uske grandparents the.
Aur jise woh apni sister maanta tha… woh actually uski real mother thi.
Aur Ishi din Eleanor ne Johnny Bundy se shaadi ki, aur officially Ted ko adopt kiya.
is poore event ne Ted ke mental state par kafi deep impact pada.
Speaking of ted and aur stepdad ke realaton
Ted aur uske stepdad ke relations kuch khass nahi the ted
ko Johnny bilkul pasand nahi tha — uske nazar mein Johnny ek boring aur dumb insaan tha.
Apne college ke dino mein Ted pehli baar kisi ladki ke liye strong feelings develop karta hai.
Us ladki ka naam tha Diane Edwards — ek intelligent, classy aur upper-class family se belong
karne wali ladki. Diane har angle se Ted se kaafi alag thi — confident thi , sophisticated thi
aur financially [Link]
Ted us waqt bas ek average-looking, awkward aur financially struggling ladka tha. Lekin
Diane ne usme interest dikhaya, aur dheere dheere dono dating karne lage. Ted ko pehli
baar kisi ke saath ek genuine emotional connection feel hua tha.
Par jaise jaise time guzarta gaya, unke differences saamne aane lage. Ted hamesha insecure
=rehta tha Diane ke status ko lekar — uske andar ek inferiority complex develop ho gaya
tha. Aur ye sab diane notice kar rahi thi and for diane own personal reason aur dating bus 5
6 mahine baad
1970 mein, Diane ne bina kisi explanation ke Ted se contact tod diya.
Yeh sudden breakup uske liye ek jhatka tha. Pehli baar kisi ne usse is tarah reject kiya tha —
aur yeh baat uske dimaag mein baith gayi.
He was really devasted with this thing who pura din uski yaad mai douba rehta ,kud ko toda
time dene ke baad ted ne
khud ko badalna shuru kiya — apni appearance pe kaam kiya, communication skills better ki, aur ek
nayi image create ki.
1971 mein, college ke last phase mein, Ted ne Seattle ke suicide crisis hotline center mein
volunteer ka kaam shuru kiya. Wahaan logon ki help karta tha, unki suicidal thoughts ko
sunta, aur unhe mentally support karta. Irony yeh thi ki jo banda khud andar se itna
disturbed tha, woh dusron ki zindagi bachane ki koshish kar raha tha.
Isi phase mein Ted ne Washington ke Republican Governor ki campaign ke liye bhi kaam
kiya — aur uski performance itni impressive thi ki Governor ke office se uske liye ek
recommendation letter bhi issue kiya [Link] apne app ko puri tarah transform kar liya
tha , jise kabhi koi notice nahi karta tha ab sab log use notice karne lage the ,
Ted ke colleagues usse ek articulate aur warm-hearted insaan maante the.
Bahar se woh ek charming, confident aur composed insaan lagta tha — jiski presence hi sabko
comfort feel karwati thi.
Sabko laga wo strong ban gaya hai…
Lekin andar kya chal raha tha,who bus who hi janta tha.
1972 mein Ted ne University of Washington se apni psychology ki degree complete ki. Uske baad
usne Utah ke law school mein admission liya, lekin kuch time baad hi usne wahan se drop out kar
diya
1973 ke aaspaas, Ted ne Diane se dobara contact kiya. Ab uske paas ek stable image, better
confidence aur social status tha.
Diane, Ted ke transformation se kaafi impress ho gayi thi, aur unhone usse dobara milna shuru kar
diya. Dono ek baar phir se date karne lage. Lekin is baar Ted ka motive kuch aur tha — wo sirf yeh
dikhana chahta tha ki usne apni life sudhaar li hai, aur ab wo us rejection se poori tarah upar nikal
chuka hai.
Jab Diane ne dobara uspe trust karna start kiya, tab Ted ne achanak bina kisi explanation ke usse
contact tod diya — bilkul wahi cheez, jo kabhi Diane ne uske saath ki thi.
Lekin is baar fark yeh tha ki sab kuch Ted ke control mein tha.
Us moment mein usse aisa feel hua jaise usne apni khoi hui power wapas le li ho — jaise ab decision
lena uske haath mein tha. Yeh control ka ehsaas uske liye ek tarah ka mental high tha, jiska wo pura
maza le raha tha… bilkul waise hi jaise wo insects ko cut karte waqt enjoy karta tha apne childhood
day mein.
Dr. Al Carlisle — jo un logon mein se the jinhone Ted Bundy ka interview liya tha — unka maanna tha
ki yeh incident ek turning point tha. Isi moment mein Ted ko pehli baar control ka ehsaas hua — jaise
cheezein uske hisaab se ho rahi ho.
Yehi control ki feeling, jo usne bachpan ke baad kabhi mehsoos nahi ki thi, uske liye kaafi powerful
thi — aur ho sakta hai isi ne uske dangerous behavior ko trigger kiya ho..
4 Jan 1974
Karen us raat ek party se wapas aa rahi thi.
Usne drink kar rakha tha, cuz of that usko thoda headache ho raha tha.
Raaste mein usse yaad aaya ki laundry se apne kapde pick karne hain.
Woh laundry room gayi… lekin waha usse ek strange feeling hui —
jaise koi uska peecha kar raha ho.
Par usne pi rakhi thi so she thought it must be an illusion.
Woh kapde lekar apne room aayi aur sone chali gayi.
Lagbhag raat ke 3 baje, ek aadmi chupke se Karen ke room mein ghusta hai
aur ek metal rod se Karen par zor ka attack karta hai.
Karen severely injured ho jaati hai.
Before that person could hit her again,
usse room ki taraf approaching footsteps sunayi dete.
Isliye woh turant waha se nikal jaata hai.
Fortunately, Karen ki jaan bach gayi,
but she was beaten badly.
February 1, 1974 — Raat 2 baje.
21 saal ki Ann, ek smart aur disciplined student, University of Washington ke dorm ke ground floor
room mein so rahi thi., kamra bilkul shaant tha.
Us waqt, peeche se ek aadmi, takriban 6 feet ka, quietly building ke rear side se aaya.
Side window ya back door — woh exact nahi pata, lekin woh bina koi awaaz kiye andar ghus
gaya.
Woh seedha Ann ke room tak gaya.
Ann gehri neend mein thi.
Us aadmi ne ek metal rod uthayi — aur Ann ke sar par zor se maara.
force itna strong tha ann ki on spot death ho gayi
ann ab is duniya nahi rahi
Phir us aadmi ne Ann ke body ko blanket mein wrap kiya aur bina koi awazz kare
building se bhar aay, uski body ko car tak le gaya aur phir ek remote are— Taylor
Mountain, jo Seattle ke southeast mein [Link] leg gaya
Taylor Mountain pe:
Woh aadmi body ko le jaata hai ek private jagah mein, dense trees ke beech.
Wahan usne
Ann ki lifeless body ko nilaya use teeth brush kiye aur use naye kapde pheneya aur phir uska
makeup kiya he made that body look like he pleased
Phir uske body ke saath intercourse kiya —and this didn’t stop there who
Usne Ann ke body ke saath multiple baar sex kiya… over several days… jab tak body
completely decay hona shuru nahi ho gayi.
Ab tak tum samajh hi gaye hoge… yeh aadmi aur koi nahi, Ted tha. Jab is bare mai padhha I
couldn’t belive how can a person can do such a disgusting thing .its realy sad that such people
exist
Aur jab Ann ki missing report file hui… police ke paas koi solid clue nahi tha.
Na forced entry, na struggle, na koi witness.
Aur isi se tum andaza laga sakte ho… ki Ted ne Ann ko maarne ke liye kitni detail mein
planning ki thi
Bundy sirf power feel karne ke liye murder nahi karta tha,
woh murder karta tha perfect crime banane ke obsession mein.
Usne murder ko ek skill ki tarah treat kiya —
aur us skill ko master karne ke liye
woh detective magazines padhta tha…
jisme details hote the ki kaise log crime karte hain,
aur bina pakde bach jaate hain.
Is point ke baad Bundy ne apni strategy badal di.
Ab woh sirf soyi hui ladkiyon pe attack nahi karta tha.
Ab usne apne cornman tricks use karna shuru kiya —
Apne good looks, speaking skilsl, aur educated demeanour ka fayda uthake ladkiyon ko trap
karta tha.
You know, as per psychology, agar koi good-looking hai, toh people are most likely to help them this
is our natural response ..since budy was a psychologist iska kya fayda uta kar
Woh random ladkiyon ko ride ke liye invite karta,
Kabhi-kabhi woh apna haath sling mein daal leta tha…aur kabi crutches use kartha aur helps hone
ka ntak karta again he used to exploit humans natural response is metod ke picke ka reason tha
According to psychology, jab koi insaan ek disabled person ko dekhta hai — especially someone
who looks injured or helpless
Toh ek person ka sympathy trigger hota hai towards that person and chances are high if that person
needs help we will give it wihout any second thought
ted W unhe phir apni car tak le jaata,
jo pehle se hi kisi quiet, sunssaan jagah pe park hoti. , ya pe zyada logo ka anaa jana
nah hota
Phir, sahi moment dekh kar,
woh ladki pe attack karta, uska murder karta,
aur later uski body ke saath necrophilic acts perform karta.
Phir un bodies ko woh jungle, mountains aur isolated areas mein chhupa deta. Kyunki
uska focus un bodies ko revisit karna tha rather then disposing them —the reason was
to perform necrophilic acts
Aur ye sab murders Ted ne kiye aur kisi ko kuch pata hi nahi chala. Yaha tak ki uske
family members ko bhi nahi. That was his level of charm. Kyunki uske paas looks ,
attractiveness , aur itna charm I am not exaggerating log uspe doubt hi nahi karte
[Link] well dressed kapde phena karta aur volvawagen beetle car chalata jo ek cute
car ki mani jaati thi ishilye usko padaka kaafi tough tha kyu ki uski profile kabi serial
killer ke profile se fit hi nai hue
Aaya tak ki jab police uska hi crime scene investigate kar rahi hoti the, woh waha se
confidently pass karta. Aur kabhi-kabhi toh ruk ke police se baat bhi karta tha.
Ted apne victims ko ke select karth tume se kuch ke mind ye doubt hoga I will u at the
end of this video
Ted jab bhi apni killing strik par nikal tha aur ladki ko target he was not always successful who kabhi
kabhi girls ko apne trap me lure karne mai fail hojata and next time he would perfect it
Ted ne ek ya do nahi... kai ladkiyon ki jaan le li thi. Police in cases pe pehle se kaam kar rahi thi, lekin
kisi bhi case mein solid lead mil nahi rahi thi. Har jagah se similar reports aa toh rahi thi, but koi aisa
evidence ya common point nahi mil raha tha jisse kisi case ko further investigate kar se.
Kahi baar reports aayi ki last time jab kisi victim ko dekha gaya, toh uske aas-paas ek sling phena
aadmi tha
Ted ne job hi kidnapping kit hi who multiple cities mai kit hi ,
ek din… multiple cities ke police officers ne milke ek joint discussion kara. Jab sab cases ko table pe
rakha gaya, tab ek common pattern saamne aaya: was
Volkswagen Beetle car ye car haar baar victim ke aaas pas deki jaati thi even in other citeies ja pe
same pattern se kindnapping hue thi
Police ne jo bhi ye model own karta use ki talshi lena shuru karti hai
Ek din, jab Ted apni wahi Beetle car leke kahin jaa raha tha, tab police ne usko roka —
kyunki car match karti thi. Jab unhone car ki talashi li, to andar se handcuffs, crowbar,
rassi, ice pick, aur aur bhi kuch suspicious items mile.
Lekin problem yeh thi — yeh sab cheezein directly prove nahi karti thi ki Ted hi murderer
hai. Ye evidence strong tha, but not enough.
Police ne uske ghar ki bhi talashi li, lekin wahan se bhi kuch solid nahi mila
Par police ye 100 % sure thi ted hi serial killer hai
time ke saath investigation badhti gayi. Police uske peeche lagi rahi… aur dheere-dheere
puzzle ke pieces fit hone lage.
Statements, evidence, aur patterns — sab kuch Ted ki taraf point karne lagta hai.
Court trials shuru hote hain. During this jab ted ko jail mai raka gaya tha
Ted 2 baar jail se bhaag gaya par iske bawagood who pakada jata hai aur jan 29 1989
Ted Bundy — jo tab tak 42 saal ka ho chuka tha —
usko electric chair se execute kiya jata hai
Uske last words the:
“I want you to give my love to my family and my friends
And during this trials ted jabka psycartist valation kiya gaya , toh pyscarits evealuation mai
ye samne aaya ted ko aspd tha aur reports mai ye bi tha that ted was not insane
Matlb: Woh clearly jaanta tha jo woh kar raha tha
Ted ne confess kara tha ki usne 1974 mai appal phle murder kiya ted ki
aakhri known victim thi bus 12-year-old Kimberly Leach, jise usne 1978 mein
murder kiya.
Total, Bundy ne 30 women ke murders ka confession diya, lekin experts
maanta hain ki actual number shayad isse zyada ho sakta hai
Ted ke kahi sare inteviews bhi hue te usme ted se poocha gaya kya use apne crime ka
guilt hai for that ted smilied and said I don’t feel guilty for anything. I feel sorry
for people who feel guilt.”
