# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Theodore Robert Bundy was born November 24, 1946. His first confirmed murder occurred in February 1974 in Washington; over the next four years his crimes spread to Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Florida. He lured victims by feigning injury or posing as authority, then bludgeoned, restrained, and killed them in remote locations. He returned to the bodies repeatedly until decomposition made it impossible. Arrested in Utah in 1975 for kidnapping, he escaped custody twice in Colorado and murdered three more people in Florida before recapture in 1978. Biographer Ann Rule called him "a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure from another human's pain and the control he had over his victims, to the point of death and even after." He was executed by electric chair on January 24, 1989.
