Authorities in Summit County, Utah, planned a news conference Tuesday to attribute another 1970s homicide to Ted Bundy and to close the case, according to Associated Press reports carried by The Boston Globe and ClickOnDetroit1.
The sheriff's office said the sheriff and county attorney would describe the investigation and the findings behind that conclusion, those reports said1.
The victim's name had not been released; AP noted that the 1974 death of 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith in the area has long been listed as unsolved1.
AP said Bundy killed at least 30 women and girls in the 1970s, was executed in Florida in 1989, and that Utah officials in April attributed the 1974 killing of 17-year-old Laura Ann Aime to him1.
Bundy made several confessions shortly before his execution, including to crimes police had not previously tied to him, and not all of those cases have been confirmed, the same accounts said1.
