In the early hours of January 15, 1978, serial killer Ted Bundy assaulted four women at the Florida State University Chi Omega sorority house using a wooden log; killing 21-year old Margaret Bowman and 20-year old Lisa Levy, and injuring 21-year-old Kathy Kleiner and 21-year-old Karen Chandler. Bundy then broke into a home on Dunwoody Street and attacked FSU dance major Cheryl Thomas eight blocks away from the Chi Omega house, who survived.
Bundy had escaped from jail in Colorado on December 30, 1977, two weeks prior. The FSU murders would be, along with the murder of 12-year-old Kimberly Leach, the only murders Bundy was convicted of, although he later confessed to murdering at least 30 women and girls. Bundy was sentenced to death for the FSU murders in July 1979. See also 2022 University of Idaho murders 2025 Florida State University shooting
