The astonishing reason why all these men from the same area could have turned into some of the world's worst serial killers - from Ted Bundy to Charles Manson
In the early hours of August 31, 1961, an eight-year-old girl named Ann Burr disappeared during a deafening thunderstorm from her family home in Tacoma, Washington state, and was never seen again. Nobody was ever charged with her murder but police found a small shoe print outside a living room window that was consistent with that of a teenage boy.
Poor Ann is now widely thought to have been the first victim of Ted Bundy, one of America's most prolific serial killers. Then only 14, he lived very close by and delivered newspapers to nearby houses.
