Ted Bundy had admitted to one of his psychiatrists that the compulsion to kill first gripped him while he was a very young man in the 1960s, walking on the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. There is an unsolved missing person case involving a young woman from Harrisburg, who was last seen in OC during the same point in the timeline of Bundy. While the body hasn't been found, she is believed by some to be his first victim.
If I remember correctly, he steadfastly denied this particular murder. Yet, as he often did, Bundy contradicted himself by saying to police that they were "years off" from properly identifying when he committed his first murder. It is commonly believed that Bundy's murder spree started in 1974. During Bundy's last hours of confession, I believe that the earliest murder he confirmed was in January 1974. These murders occurred in the Pacific Northwest. But Bundy was in his mid-20s by then. I tend to think if he did start killing at a younger age, then it was on the East Coast with Bundy killing a little girl named Ann Marie Burr. Bundy was only in his teens and has widely been considered a suspect in her murder because he lived in very close proximity. The other reason is that Bundy found out in the late 1960s that he was illegitimate on a trip to Philadelphia. He was seeking confirmation on this trip and many believe that the discovery of being a bastard child was a strong factor in his becoming a killer. Obviously Bundy had other deep psychological problems, but this discovery may have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
