The Brief Summit County authorities in Utah are formally linking another unsolved 1970s homicide to executed serial killer Ted Bundy. The victim's name will be announced at a Tuesday news conference alongside the specific investigative findings that led to closing the case. Modern DNA advances continue to resolve decades-old cold cases attributed to Bundy, who confessed to dozens of murders across multiple states before his 1989 execution.



Authorities in Utah announced Tuesday that another decades-old cold case homicide has been officially linked to infamous serial killer Ted Bundy.

The Summit County Sheriff's Office and the Summit County Attorney are holding a news conference to detail the investigative steps, physical evidence, and forensic findings that led detectives to identify Bundy as the perpetrator and close the investigation.

Good Day Live plans to stream a press conference from Utah authorities at 11 a.m. PT. Watch live here and the player above.

Bundy, executed in Florida nearly 40 years ago, is officially known to have slain at least 30 women and girls across several states during the 1970s. However, investigators have continued to cross-reference unsolved disappearances against his prison confessions and modern scientific breakthroughs.

What we know:

Authorities in Summit County scheduled Tuesday's announcement to outline how modern forensic methods helped detectives officially solve the case.

While investigators have not publicly named the victim ahead of the briefing, the area has long carried unresolved cases from Bundy's mid-1970s hunting period. Among them is the 1974 death of 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith, an open homicide that has remained unsolved for five decades.

In April, Utah investigators linked Bundy to another historical murder: 17-year-old Laura Ann Aime, who went missing on Halloween in 1974.

What we don't know:

Officials have not revealed in the specific forensic evidence, such as newly extracted genetic profiles or fingerprint matches, used to confirm Bundy's responsibility.
