The Ted Bundy Murder That Took 50 Years to Prove
About this episode
This episode discusses the breakthrough in DNA technology that confirmed Ted Bundy as the killer of Laura Ann Aime, a case that remained unsolved for over 50 years.
A 17-year-old girl disappears on Halloween. And for more than half a century - no definitive answers. In 1974, Laura Ann Aime vanished after leaving a party in Utah. Weeks later, her body was found in the mountains. Investigators long suspected Ted Bundy - and before his execution in 1989, he even confessed to her murder. But it wasn’t enough to close the case. Now, decades later, a major breakthrough in DNA technology has finally confirmed Bundy as her killer - officially bringing an end to one of the many cold cases tied to his name. In this episode of The Trial: USA , host Kayla Brantley is joined by Daily Mail Senior Crime Correspondent Rachel Sharp to unpack the latest breakthrough and explain the new DNA technology that made it possible.
