The attack on Cheryl Thomas occurred shortly after the Chi Omega murders and further demonstrated Ted Bundy’s escalating and chaotic behavior during his final killing phase. Unlike earlier crimes, this attack was less controlled and occurred in a separate residence, indicating a rapid and disorganized pattern.
Bundy broke into Thomas’s apartment and assaulted her with blunt force. The attack was violent and sudden, consistent with his behavior during this phase. He fled the scene, leaving her critically injured.
The attack was linked to the Chi Omega murders due to timing, location, and similarities in method. This further strengthened the case against Bundy.
