Bundy Death-Row Stay Halts Florida Execution
Theodore Bundy, 39, came within seven hours of execution for the murder of 12 year old Kimberly Leach before the 11th Circuit stayed the death warrant at 12 40 a m.

Leach’s body was later found in an abandoned pigsty near the Suwannee River after her Feb 1978 abduction.
