After Tallahassee reporters were required to testify, Bundy’s trial was moved to South Florida. Bundy assaulted and murdered at least 30 young women, and possibly many more, in the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and Florida between 1974 and 1978. After more than a decade of denials he confessed to 30 homicides, but the true total remains unknown.
