One famous serial killer is Ted Bundy. Bundy was a notorious American serial killer who confessed to murdering at least 30 young women during the 1970s. He would often approach his victims in public places, feigning an injury or disability to gain their trust before abducting and killing them. Bundy was known for his charm and good looks, which he used to manipulate and lure his victims.

Ted Bundy can be classified as a hedonistic serial killer. This type of serial killer is motivated by the thrill and pleasure they derive from the act of killing. Bundy's crimes were characterized by a high level of sadism and sexual violence, indicating that he derived pleasure from the suffering of his victims. Additionally, he often revisited the crime scenes and kept souvenirs from his victims, further demonstrating his hedonistic motivations.

Furthermore, Bundy's ability to charm and manipulate his victims, as well as his intelligence and ability to evade capture for an extended period of time, are consistent with the characteristics of a hedonistic serial killer. His crimes were driven by his own personal gratification and pleasure, making him a classic example of this type of serial killer.

Nonphysical harm here refers to fear,anxiety,and other emotional states.
