Laura Ann Aime was found dead in 1974. Now, over 50 years later, her family finally knows Ted Bundy was her killer. The 17-year-old was last seen on Halloween in 1974 and found dead less than one month later. Bundy — who raped and murdered dozens of young women and girls across the country between 1974 and 1978 and was executed in 1989 — was once looked at as a suspect, but the case ultimately went cold. That is, until April 1, when the Utah County Sheriff’s Office announced that the serial killer was linked to Aime’s death. The UCSO’s statement also included remarks from Aime’s family and friends, who are remembering the late teenager as a “tall, beautiful, outgoing free spirit who enjoyed outdoor activities and shared a passion for riding horses, hunting, and caring for her several siblings.” Her family also said that Aime was “one who found joy in everything she did, making the most of her time with her family,” per the statement. So, what happened to Laura Ann Aime? Here’s everything to know about how DNA linked Ted Bundy to her murder over 50 years later.
