DNA evidence ties Ted Bundy to Utah teenager’s 1974 killing
Utah officials said during a Tuesday news conference that DNA evidence showed serial killer Ted Bundy murdered 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith. She disappeared in 1974, and her body was recovered days later. The result follows county detectives’ confirmation in April, months earlier, that Bundy also killed 17-year-old Laura Ann Aime in Utah in 1974.
