Video examines Ted Bundy's LDS conversion during killing spree

September 14, 2026 at 3:34 AM MT · via YouTube / Cults to Consciousness · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

A video from the Cults to Consciousness channel examines how serial killer Ted Bundy joined the LDS Church during the period he was actively killing women, and how his religious conversion helped him evade suspicion. The video, featuring hosts from the Postmormon Postmortem podcast, has drawn nearly 34,000 views in 11 hours.

Bundy converted to Mormonism in the early 1970s while living in Utah, where he committed several murders. The video explores how his Church membership and clean-cut missionary-style appearance provided him cover and credibility with law enforcement and potential victims. Bundy was executed in 1989 after confessing to 30 killings, though the actual number is believed to be higher.
