The Murders & Evidence
Bernice Worden and Mary Hogan
The Beginning
Evidence:
- Remains of 10 women
- lampshades, suits, armchair made of skin
- box of female genitalia
- bowls made from skulls
- belt made from nipples
- various preserved body parts
- Both shot and taken from their workplace, but he claims he was dazed at the time of the crimes
- Bernice's disappearance led to Gein and the gruesome discoveries
- Bernice was found in the barn, everything else in the house
- Aug. 27, 1906 - July 26, 1984
- Mother was domineering and had all the power in the family
- Father died in 1940, brother in 1944
- Mother died only one year later
- Spent a lot of time alone reading
- anatomy books, adventures, pulp magazines
- Nightly graveyard visits
Killer is Insane
Sits in mental hospital for 10 years
- Evaluated by psychologists and psychiatrists
- Ruled unfit to stand trial for the murders of Bernice Worden and Mary Hogan in 1957
- Considered mentally stable in 1968, tried for Bernice Worden
- Found guilty of first-degree murder, but because he was "insane" at time of murder, he was acquitted
- Died in mental facility in 1984
The Evidence Adds Up
Washington, Utah, Colorado, and Florida
Ted Bundy
Defying Stereotypes
- First arrested in 1975 on suspicion of burglary
- Discovered in his car: handcuffs, rope, icepick, a crowbar, and a ski mask
- Connected the car he was driving to the DaRonch kidnapping, and eventually the other Utah, Colorado, and Washington murders.
- Incriminating evidence included: credit card statements, blood typing, eye-witness accounts, and bite marks left on the victim's flesh
- First Trial: Kidnapping of Carol DaRonch in 1976 - sentenced to 15 years
- Second Trial: Murder of Caryn Campbell in 1976 - self represented - escaped but was soon caught
- Escaped a 2nd time less than one year later
- Chi Omega killing spree
- Third Trial: murder of Chi Omega students and Kimberly Leach - convicted and received death penalty
- Nov. 24 1946 - Jan. 24 1989
- Educated and charismatic
- Shy in his youth, but grew to be dominant, confident, and focused person in early adulthood
- Broke into houses of the women and killed them in their sleep OR lured them with his charm
Crazy or Sane?
- Due to his calm composure, his self representation, and his planned escapes, Bundy was ruled mentally sane and fit to stand trial.
- Unlike Gein, psychologists and psychiatrists who examined him did not find him to be psychopathic or a mentally impaired
- Also different from Gein, who only killed 2 people, Bundy was suspected of over 36 homicides
- this number could easily be over 100, but Bundy took this secret to his grave
