Ted Bundy Original Wanted Poster

This original FBI wanted poster was issued during the nationwide manhunt for serial killer Ted Bundy, one of the most notorious criminals in American history. Produced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the poster dates to the period when Bundy was being sought for interstate flight to avoid prosecution for murder following his escape from custody in the late 1970s.

The poster prominently features Bundy’s photograph along with the name Theodore Robert Bundy and detailed identifying information used by law enforcement at the time. It includes physical descriptors, known aliases, behavioral notes, and a caution statement warning that he should be considered armed, dangerous, and an escape risk. Such posters were distributed nationwide to police departments, federal offices, and public bulletin boards as authorities attempted to locate Bundy after his dramatic escapes from jail.

Bundy would ultimately be linked to the murders of numerous young women across multiple states during the 1970s, becoming the focus of one of the most widely publicized manhunts in U.S. history before his capture and eventual execution in 1989.
