A Utah teenager found dead more than 50 years ago has been named as yet another victim of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy. 

Authorities said Wednesday that DNA helped link Bundy to the killing of Laura Ann Aime. The 17-year-old vanished after leaving a Halloween party to buy cigarettes on Oct. 31, 1974, Utah County Sheriff’s Office used new DNA technology to link Bundy to Aime’s killing. 

"We bring this case to a closure and more importantly closure to the Aime family," Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith said at a news conference Wednesday morning, male DNA profile using bodily fluids found on Aime’s remains following recent testing, KTVX reported. 

The genetic profile was reportedly input into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), a national DNA database, which provided a match in Florida.

Following additional analysis, investigators were able to link the DNA profile to Bundy. 

Aime is believed to be Bundy’s third victim in Utah.

The Utah County Sheriff’s Office has since shared the DNA profile with other departments in hopes of finding more of Bundy’s victims, with authorities reportedly adding they believe the development will provide a resolution to another cold case – though no additional details were provided. 

Bundy has long been linked to the killings of several women in Florida, Utah, Colorado, Oregon and Washington from 1974 to 1978.

He previously confessed to a total of 28 murders, but investigators believe he could be responsible for hundreds of killings. 

Bundy was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of two Florida college students in 1979, and received another death sentence in 1980 for the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl.

He was executed by Florida’s electric chair in 1989. 

"I know that she would be really happy to know that [her case] has been closed," Michelle Impala, Aime’s younger sister, said Wednesday, according to KTVX.

"And just to know that Ted Bundy is, like, gnashing his teeth in hell is really – I don’t know. I hate to think of people doing that, but with him and a few other people in the world, that’s what they deserve."

The Utah County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
