Informative Speech Outline
Many people may argue that Ted Bundy had a traumatic childhood that made him feel
unloved and unwanted, but the choice of his victims is undeniably unique to his love life with his
ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer. His actions are an outburst of his inner feelings of both love
and hate which dictated his choice of victims as well as his actions towards them. Indeed, the
motivation behind choosing victims that resembled Liz as well as his untamed desire to control
and subdue them, is the value that his relationship with her had in his life. He felt ruined and
bitter that it was over couldn’t get over it hence taking his anger out on her look-alikes.
