A more than 50-year-old Utah cold case murder has been identified as another victim of the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy using advanced DNA techniques.
The bombshell announcement represents a breakthrough that may lead to resolving other unsolved cases across the United States, and potentially Wyoming.
The Utah County Sheriff’s Office announced at a press conference last week that Bundy was responsible for killing 17-year-old Laura Ann Aime in 1974, a crime that went unsolved for 52 years.
Aime had been at a Halloween party in Utah County the night she disappeared after leaving the party on foot by herself to get some items from a convenience store.
Aime’s body was discovered less than a month later on Thanksgiving when two hikers found her several feet from the highway in American Fork Canyon.
Her naked body had been bound, severely beaten and strangled with a nylon stocking, trademarks of Bundy, who wouldn’t be arrested until more than three years later, on Feb. 15, 1978.
