Ted Bundy was one of the evilest people to have ever walked the face of this earth. He was calculating, manipulative, callous, egotistical, bloodthirsty, and deceitful; and he showed no remorse for the pain he brought to countless families.

Was Ted Bundy imprisoned in Walla Walla?
Even though Bundy is strongly associated with Washington, as he spent much of his life there, his crimes spanned many states. Bundy left a trail of blood and wickedness as he made his way across the country. It wasn’t until he was in Florida that he was finally brought to justice. Unlike other notorious Washington serial killers who were incarcerated at the Washington State Penitentiary, Bundy was charged, tried, convicted, and executed in Florida.

So, I guess that’s where I don’t want my ashes scattered now. Thanks for that, Ted. Thankfully, the location where this was done wasn’t disclosed. Gotta love the outdoors.
