美国犹他州执法部门宣布，借助现代DNA检测技术，臭名昭著的连环杀手泰德·邦迪被正式与一起发生于1974年的冷案凶杀联系起来 12345。这一突破性进展使得警方和检察机关得以关闭针对该起悬案的调查 35。案件的核心受害者为17岁的梅丽莎·安·史密斯（Melissa Ann Smith），她于1974年在犹他州失踪并遇害 35。
此次关联主要依赖于Y-STR DNA特征匹配分析 3。盐湖城警长罗西·里维拉（Rosie Rivera）在通报中强调了长期保存物证对于侦破陈年旧案的关键作用 3。犹他县警长办公室中士迈克·雷诺兹（Mike Reynolds）则引用受害者姓名，对凶手的行为予以谴责 3。
这并非近期唯一通过新测试确认为邦迪所犯的罪行 3。就在今年四月，另一项DNA检测结果已证实邦迪杀害了另一位17岁少女劳拉·安·艾姆（Laura Ann Aime） 3。警方指出，从艾姆尸体提取的体液样本中发现的DNA特征，与史密斯尸体上的Y-STR DNA特征相匹配，从而建立了两起案件与邦迪之间的直接联系 3。随着最新证据的确立，史密斯案长达数十年的调查宣告终结 3。
Authorities in Utah have connected serial killer Ted Bundy to the 1974 homicide of a teenage girl, bringing closure to a decades-long cold case 124. The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office and the Utah County Sheriff's Office announced that new DNA evidence identifies Bundy as responsible for the murder of 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith 3. This development follows a similar breakthrough earlier this year, when testing confirmed Bundy’s involvement in the killing of another teenager, Laura Ann Aime 3. Prosecutors stated that the genetic match was sufficient to close the investigation into Smith’s death 5.
The evidentiary link relies on Y-STR DNA profiles extracted from both victims, which matched samples associated with Bundy 3. Police noted that body fluids recovered from Laura Ann Aime’s remains matched the profile obtained from Melissa Ann Smith, thereby tying the two cases together under the same suspect 3. Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera emphasized the critical importance of preserving physical evidence over such long periods to enable these modern forensic conclusions 3. Additionally, Sergeant Mike Reynolds of the Utah County Sheriff's Office cited the names of the victims while condemning the actions of their killer 3. Historical records indicate that Bundy sexually assaulted and murdered at least 30 women across the western United States and Florida between 1974 and 1978 before his execution in 1989 3.
