The DNA profile of serial killer Ted Bundy will be uploaded to a national database today, good news for future episodes of "CSI" on television - and maybe some actual CSI people in the field.
Bundy was executed for murdering a child in 1989 but he had claimed to have been involved in killing 30 women. Lacking a DNA profile of him, some cold cases were going to stay cold but David Coffman, Chief of Forensic Services at Florida Department of Law Enforcement in Tallahassee, says they recently discovered blood drawn for supporting evidence in the murder case of Kimberly Leach, the 12-year-old girl killed in 1978. His conviction in the Leach case got Bundy the electric chair at Raiford Prison on January 24, 1989 and made the creepy white van a staple of child abduction fears.
The blood was drawn in 1978 and they were still able to get a complete DNA profile so nationwide investigators who suspect his involvement in other unsolved murders may not get some additional help.
