A state prosecutor in Tijuana, Mexico, is warning that three recent murders in the town along the U.S. border display similar characteristics to the killings of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy.”This subject has criminal tendencies associated with violent and psychopathic behavior,” Baja California Attorney General Ricardo Iván Carpio told reporters in Tijuana, KSWB-TV reported. “His profile is very similar to someone who became very well known decades ago: Ted Bundy.”Carpio said that three of the 1,859 homicides recorded so far this year in Tijuana, which sits directly across the U.S. border and 20 miles south of downtown San Diego, exhibit signs of a killer who seduces vulnerable women, convinces them to meet in a private setting and then subjects them to violent sexual acts before murdering them.In addition to the similarities in the way the crimes are carried out, Mexican authorities believe the suspect is an American who traveled across the border and have notified American authorities of the killer’s possible identity in hopes of apprehending him in the U.S.US CITIZEN ON THE RUN AFTER KILLING MULTIPLE PROSTITUTES AFTER SEX IN MEXICO, OFFICIALS SAY
