What do you do when you are investigating a 1961 cold case and you learn one of the most prolific serial killers in American history (Ted Bundy) may be a suspect? You get to work! 

Cold case detective (retired) Lindsey Wade was reviewing cold case files in Tacoma, Washington, and realized Ted Bundy could have killed the victim from their oldest case. It was a long shot, but one that needed to be explored. Evidence was going to be sent to the lab for DNA testing. But she didn't have a reference sample from Bundy. 

But surely Ted Bundy would be in the CODIS (national) DNA data base right? He is the poster child for why we need one! Serial killer who operated in numerous states across the country, likely committing many crimes that have never been solved but DNA might be collected someday. 

But not even the state of Florida, where he was executed, had his profile. That had to be fixed. So detective Wade, along with numerous others, went to work and eventually found some of his blood that had been stored in a safe for 40 years and managed to get a DNA profile from it. 

Was he the killer? Listen to the episode and find out!
