Answer:

Ted Bundy left the teeth marks on the victim of Chi Omega's murder. This evidence was presented at the court and the match was found between the mark and Bundy's teeth. He was convinced for all the crimes, even though previous witness reports were often dismissed.

Explanation:

In the historic case of serial killer Ted Bundy, the physical evidence was crucial that determined his connection to the crime.

While there was already evidence from testimonies that Bundy can be connected to the various murders that he committed, including evidence of women who saw him leave with the weapon, the physical evidence was crucial at the end.

There were bite marks on one of the victim’s body, and the court insisted to compare those to the casting of Bundy’s teeth. He protested first, probably knowing there will be the match. As suspected,<u> the mark proved to be complementary with the cast of Bundy’s teeth, and a forensic odontologist confirmed the match.</u> Bundy’s teeth were chipped and misaligned, just like the ones that left the mark on the body. This was the only physical evidence found at the scene and it proved to be the crucial one. <u>Bundy was convicted of the murders and crimes he committed.</u>

We can see how crucial physical evidence here is, as Bundy was suspected before for various crimes,<u> even turned in by his girlfriend - his name, car, and appearance matched the records given by the victims and witnesses. </u>However, they were often dismissed by the police and attributed to the emotions and shock. <u>Yet, with this kind of hard physical evidence, it was finally determined Ted Bundy was the one who attacked and murdered the women.</u>

Question: How many Dalmatian puppies are in Pongo and Perdita’s litter?
oee [108]
<span>The correct answer is 15.
Originally, Pongo and Perdita has fifteen puppies in their litter. We only know the names of some of them: Patch, Lucky, Rolly, Penny, Freckles, and Pepper. However, over the course of the movie, Cruella de Vil and her 'gang' steal the puppies in order to make her expensive clothing out of their pelts. Luckily, the 15 puppies manage to get saved, along with 80+ other puppies that were kept in Cruella's captivity - that's why the movie is called 101 Dalmatian. </span>
