In the five years between Bundy’s first killing in 1974 and when he was sentenced for murder in 1979, he was actually captured by police on separate charges, according to Biography. In 1975, Bundy was caught and charged with attempted kidnapping, and was later sentenced to as many as 15 years in jail. However, Bundy escaped police custody by jumping out of a courthouse window. Later, he was recaptured and sent to a Colorado jail, but ultimately he escaped from there, too.

After Bundy’s escape, authorities remained on the lookout for the prisoner. However, despite his newfound tabloid notoriety (via Britannica) Bundy opted not to go low profile and take a break from killing. Instead, after his December 30, 1977 escape, he made his way to northern Florida, according to ABC News, and less than a month after he made it out of prison, he found his next set of victims in a sorority house at Florida State University.
