Ted Bundy, born in 1946, made headlines in the 1970s for committing crimes against humanity. He was a notorious serial killer whose victims were young women. He was arrested, charged with murder, and escaped twice from jail to continue with his crimes.

While authorities don't know when Bundy killed his first victim, the earliest crime they linked him to was in 1974 in Washington state.

Following the incident, young women began to disappear mysteriously every month. The serial killer eventually admitted to abducting, raping, and killing over 30 women. He was found guilty and executed on January 24, 1989, aged 42.

Bundy Proposed to Carole Ann Boone in Court

Despite being convicted of murder, that didn't stop Bundy from carrying on with his personal life. In February 1980, he proposed to Carole Ann Boone in court during the sentencing phase of his trial. The two first met in 1974 when they worked in the Washington State Office of Emergency Services in Olympia and dated before Bundy's initial arrest.

In Rule's book, she portrays Bundy's daughter as a kind and intelligent person.

Boone believed Bundy was innocent, and while testifying before a judge at his sentencing hearing, she said, "I've never seen anything in Ted that indicates any destructiveness toward people." She went on to describe Bundy as a warm, kind, and patient man.

Shortly before the jury recommended that Bundy be sentenced to death, he proposed to Boone, and they married. Boone frequently visited Bundy while he was on death row, but physical contact was not permitted.

Bundy and Boone Shared One Child

Still, Boone became pregnant in 1981 and gave birth to daughter Rose Bundy in October of the same year. Boone initially declined to reveal how it happened, saying it was no one's business. A Netflix documentary later featured an audio of her revealing how their daughter was conceived. She said:

"We kept looking out the window. There was a black guard who was really nice. After the first day, they just didn't care."

Boone eventually divorced Bundy in 1986, a few years before his execution. Following the divorce, Boone lived a private life for over three decades. According to reports, she passed away in 2018 aged 70.

Author Ann Rule, who knew the serial killer, disclosed in her book, "The Stranger Beside Me," that Bundy's daughter, now in her 40s, lives a private life. In Rule's book, she portrays Bundy's daughter as a kind and intelligent person.

Over three decades after Bundy's death, his story has been retold in crime series and documentaries. One notable example is "Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes," a Netflix documentary that debuted on January 24, 2019, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Bundy's execution.

The 2019 crime drama film, " Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile," also tells the story of Bundy. Zac Efron takes the role of the notorious serial killer, and Kaya Scodelario plays his wife, Boone.
