Question

how did they interview and investigated

Answer 1

They didn't do anything significant. One of his victims escaped, called the cops, and led them right to his door. The bodies weren't even hidden...

Oops sorry, that was Jeffrey Dahmer, my bad.

In the early hours of 16 August 1975 Bundy was stopped while driving without lights in a Salt Lake City suburb. Bundy's evasive answers fuelled the suspicions of Utah Highway Patrolman Bob Hayward, who soon discovered a balaclava, a stocking mask, an iron bar and a pair of handcuffs on the floor of the car. Had he finally been discovered?

Bundy was arrested but he remained cool under pressure and explained away the items, he said he needed the balaclava and mask for skiing and had found the handcuffs in a rubbish bin. A search of Bundy's flat uncovered a brochure from a hotel in Snowmass.

Bundy denied having been to Colorado, but by now Detective Jerry Thompson was beginning to see through his harmless, self-confident exterior. He ordered an identity parade and Bundy was picked out by Carol DaRonch and two other witnesses. It seemed that Ted Bundy had been caught.

He was convicted of the aggravated kidnapping of Carol DaRonch and was jailed for 15 years. In June 1977 he jumped out of the window of a court building and escaped, only to be recaptured eight days later. The authorities in Colorado were confident they could put him on trial for the murder of Caryn Campbell, the girl who was killed in Snowmass at the height of the skiing season.

But in December 1977 Bundy escaped again, this time by cutting a hole in the ceiling of his cell with a hacksaw blade and this time he would not be caught so easily.

On the run
Bundy fled east and by mid-January was in sunny Florida, 1,500 miles from chilly Colorado. By now he was another different figure. Bundy was no longer the dapper, mild-mannered Republican who could charm the birds from the trees. He was an unkempt fugitive from justice, living on food stolen from supermarkets, whose murderous urges were out of control.

On 15 January he broke into a sorority house on a university campus in Tallahassee, Florida. He strangled 21-year-old art history student Margaret Bowman and beat to death Lisa Levy, 20, after assaulting her. Two other girls who lived in the house were also beaten with a wooden club, but they survived.

A month later Bundy claimed what would be his final victim, 12-year-old Kim Leach. She was abducted from a high school gym, sexually assaulted and strangled. Bundy's days as a free man were, however, numbered.

Recapture

Bundy was finally arrested in the early hours of 15 February 1978 as he drove a stolen car towards Pensacola and in June 1979 he went on trial for the sorority house murders. Bundy protested his innocence and conducted his own defence.

The evidence for the prosecution, including evidence from a dentist that his teeth matched bite marks found on Lisa Levy, was overwhelming and the jury found him guilty. Sentencing him to death, Judge Edward Cowart told him: "I bear you no animosity. But you went the wrong way, partner. Take care of yourself."

Bundy spent the next 10 years on Florida's Death Row, using legal tactics to delay his execution and offering confessions to his crimes in exchange for a reprieve. After years of living in denial, insisting he was innocent, Bundy finally came clean, although he referred to himself in the third person and claimed the killings were carried out by an "entity" within him.
