Ted Bundy's blood could solve cold cases

Ted Bundy has been dead since 1989 when he was executed in Florida after confessing to more than 30 murders in a decades-long spree, but thanks to a vial of his blood law enforcement may be able to link the serial killer to multiple cases long considered "cold." It all began when investigators in Tacoma, Washington re-opened the 1961 case of a murdered 8-year-old girl who happened to live along a young Ted Bundy's newspaper route. They contacted Florida authorities who were able to obtain a complete DNA profile from the sample.
"The technology in the past 25 years went from archaic to phenomenal," Florida law enforcement spokesman Keith Kameg tells CNN.
On Friday (Aug. 5) the profile will be entered into FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) which could potentially link Bundy to several unsolved cases.
Though a link doesn't provide definitive evidence of guilt, it's a start for investigators across the country trying to close cases in which Bundy was a suspect.

I am wondering why they have not done this before now????....Duh!
Proabably because forensic analysts are busy working on newer cases? In my expereince, it's usually better to work a case and follow all of the leads before it turns cold and 20 years old...duh!
How absolutly horrible to know that that demon possessed - see above photo- was the last thing your poor daughter saw. I am glad that a lot of "cold cases" are being solved. I read about Bundy a while back and his aunt tells of an experience where she woke from a nap to find young Ted standing over her with a knife. Talk about a Bad Seed...from the beginning he was evil.
Ted Bundy was the man!!!
Hey nice handle @$$wEYEpe Ted is dead just like all of his victims!
I hope these families are at least able to get some kind of closure. I agree, newer cases should be pursued first, but at least some of these mothers and fathers might have a chance to know what happened to their children. I personally wouldn't want to know after all this time. it only opens old wounds.
