bundy's first known murders were in 1974 with his first known violent attack on january 4 when he crept into the room of an 18-year-old girl called joni lenz and beat her with a crowbar while she was asleep. he then sexually assaulted (raped) her with a metal rod that he took from the bed. she was found the next morning in a pool of blood. she was not killed but would remain in a coma and suffered brain damage (damage to the brain that stop the body from working properly). a few weeks later on january 31, bundy broke into another woman's basement and beat her over the head. he then dressed her, wrapped her in blankets, and carried her away. she was found a year later in seattle, washington with no head. in between this time and june 1974, he killed eight more women in washington. in june, he kidnapped janice ott and denise naslund from a park near seattle. these attacks, unlike the attacks before, were in 'broad daylight' - in front of other people.
