Ted Bundy's 1978 capture and arraignment...

Item # 728605 ·
THE RALEIGH TIMES, North Carolina, Feb. 17, 1978

* Finally captured and arraigned in Florida 
* Ted Bundy - notorious American killer
* Shortly after the FSU sorority killings 

The top of page 13 has a five column heading: "Fugitive eyed in FSU killings" with lead-in: "One of FBI's 10 Most Wanted Caught" and rare photo showing Bundy in a Pensacola courtroom. (see images) 
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete with all 40 pages, light toning, a little close cut along the right  margin, a few small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice. 

background: Ted Bundy was arrested for the last time in the early morning hours of February 15, 1978, in Pensacola, after a Pensacola police officer, David Lee, noticed him driving suspiciously in a stolen orange Volkswagen Beetle and attempted a traffic stop; Bundy initially tried to evade the officer, then pulled over and violently resisted arrest, kicking and fighting before being subdued and handcuffed. At the time, Bundy was a fugitive who had escaped from jail in Glenwood Springs and later from Aspen, and had recently carried out the brutal January 15, 1978 attacks at the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University in Tallahassee, where two women were murdered and several others assaulted, as well as the abduction and murder of 12-year-old Kimberly Leach in Lake City; this arrest ended his final killing spree and ultimately led to his conviction and death sentence in Florida.
