Storyline
Plot Summary |
Based on a true story, this film depicts the life of Theodore Robert Bundy, the serial killer. In 1974, after having murdered several young women, he leaves Seattle for Utah, where he is a law student and where other girls disappear. It takes the cooperation of a number of police forces to work efficiently on this case. Soon, but not soon enough, the police eliminate endless possibilities and close in on him. Bundy is tried in the media and his good-boy attitude brings him sympathy but also the hatred of many.

Did You Know?
Trivia | According to Ann Rule, in an updated edition of her nonfiction bestseller "The Stranger Beside Me," the real Ted Bundy started to receive hundreds more love letters per day after The Deliberate Stranger (1986) first aired on NBC. Rule concluded that many of the women were actually writing to Mark Harmon, or imagining that Bundy looked and acted more like Harmon than Bundy did in reality. See more » |
Goofs | The Utah mall incident occurred in 1974 yet the Stevie Nicks album "Rock a Little", which is displayed on the store window behind Bundy and his intended victim, was not released till 1985. See more » |

Quotes |
Richard Larsen:
[Voiceover- first lines]
My name is Richard Larsen. You'll meet me soon at the beginning of our story, our nightmare that began in Seattle in 1974, and ended, for most of us, in Miami in 1979. It didn't end for the families, the husbands, the lovers of the victims. It will never end for them. This story is about them too: the victims, their loved ones, and the few dedicated men who didn't give up. See more » |
