Theodore Robert Bundy was born Theodore Robert Cowell on November 24, 1949. His mother, Louise Cowell, was unmarried at the time and the name of his biological father has never been determined with certainty, however Lloyd Marshall was named on his birth certificate. Louise moved into her parents' house shortly after Ted was born and allowed him to raise him as her "brother" for quite some time. When Ted's mother married Johnnie Culpepper Bundy in May 1951 in Tacoma, Washington, when Theodore was four years old, Theodore took his stepfather's last name, Bundy. Theodore Bundy lived a normal life as far as is known, however his shyness and self-doubt made him a constant target of bullying as a young man. During his high school years Ted's popularity blossomed, but he was reluctant to date as he was more involved in extracurricular and work activities. However, he was never kept in the same job for too long, as his employers considered him unreliable. His job wasn't the only place where Ted was considered untrustworthy. When Theodore transferred from the University of Tacoma to the University of Washington he met and fell in love with Stephanie Brooks. At first everything was fine in this relationship: “But Stephanie was pragmatic. It was wonderful to be in love, to have a college romance, to walk hand-in-hand through the wooded paths of campus…but she felt that Ted was floundering, that he had no real plans, no real prospects for the future” (Rule, 2000 ). Much to Ted's dismay, Stephanie soon ended this relationship. Some argue that this is one of the many things that helped push Theodore Bundy over the edge into homicidal rage, and most cite a similar description of Stephanie Brooks for most of his later victims. Therefore...... half of the paper ...reduces the social impact of their behaviors.” (Black, 2006). As witnessed with Theodore Bundy, incarceration and ultimately execution were the only way to prevent him from brutally killing again. Works CitedBell, R. (2011). Ted Bundy.
