A 17-year-old girl disappears on Halloween. And for more than half a century - no definitive answers.


In 1974, Laura Ann Aime vanished after leaving a party in Utah. Weeks later, her body was found in the mountains. Investigators long suspected Ted Bundy - and before his execution in 1989, he even confessed to her murder.


But it wasn’t enough to close the case.


Now, decades later, a major breakthrough in DNA technology has finally confirmed Bundy as her killer - officially bringing an end to one of the many cold cases tied to his name.


In this episode of The Trial: USA, host Kayla Brantley is joined by Daily Mail Senior Crime Correspondent Rachel Sharp to unpack the latest breakthrough and explain the new DNA technology that made it possible.
