A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION

 

Forensic Findings

Harvey’s victims died from a variety of causes. He smothered some by put- ting a plastic bag over the victim’s face and then using a pillow. He killed several patients by cutting their oxygen supply off. One patient died of peritonitis after Harvey punctured his abdomen. Another patient, Harvey placed face down on his pillow. The patient was unable to move, so he suffocated. The rest of the victims died of arsenic or cyanide poisoning. The poisoning cases were supported through exhumation, but most of the other cases would have been difficult to prove without Harvey’s confession. He was able to give details on these cases that collaborated his claims.

(9) QUOTATION BY UNKNOWN OWNER   9 Conclusion The present case study illustrated the role of high risk sexual fantasies in Ted Bundy’s case.   Although his fantasies played an important role in terms of selecting a victim, planning an offence and, nevertheless, coping mechanism, other factors, such as psychopathy, pornography, sexual sadism, compulsion to kill and victims’ availability are as well important in order to explain Bundy’s case. However, I acknowledge that a second data analysis of this kind is eventually biased as it does not allow for a clear understanding of Bundy’s life due to the large number of controversial biographies that have been published after his execution.
