DNA connects serial killer Ted Bundy to the death of a Utah teenager, authorities announced Tuesday, more than 50 years after her body was discovered by a hunter.
Bundy has been dead since 1989, but the tally of his confirmed victims continues to grow due to advances in DNA testing. He killed at least 30 women and girls in multiple states in the 1970s, and many more escaped or survived with injuries.
The Summit County, Utah, prosecutor said investigators are satisfied that Bundy was responsible for killing 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith in 1974, a death that had long been listed as a cold case.
Bundy was executed in 1989 by electric chair in Florida for the 1978 murders of two women at the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University.

当局周二宣布，DNA检测结果将连环杀手泰德·邦迪与犹他州一名少女的死亡联系起来。这名少女的尸体是在50多年前被一名猎人发现的。
邦迪自1989年去世以来，由于DNA检测技术的进步，已确认的受害者人数仍在不断增加。他在20世纪70年代于多个州杀害了至少30名妇女和女孩，还有更多人逃脱或身负重伤幸存下来。
犹他州萨米特县检察官表示，调查人员确信邦迪应对 1974 年 17 岁的梅丽莎·安·史密斯的死亡负责，这起死亡事件长期以来一直被列为悬案。
邦迪因 1978 年在佛罗里达州立大学 Chi Omega 女子联谊会宿舍谋杀两名女性，于 1989 年在佛罗里达州被电椅处决。
