Ted Bundy killed at least 5 Wasatch Front teenagers as he went to law school and joined the LDS Church in Utah. Now a Netflix documentary and a Sundance movie are retracing his steps.

He started murdering women in Washington, and he killed his final victims in Florida before he was executed there. But in between, he killed at least five (and possibly eight) young women in Salt Lake, Davis and Utah counties. He attended the University of Utah’s law school. He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

And, because one young woman escaped from him in Murray, Bundy was convicted — despite the support of fellow church members — and sentenced to prison. (He subsequently escaped from custody in Colorado, where he was sent to face murder charges.
