Deliberate Stranger, The (DVD)

No one really knew him. Not local politicians awed by his "Kennedy-like" presence. Not the coeds he charmed. And when the nation found out who Ted Bundy was, it was too late to save the lives of innocent young women nationwide. Mark Harmon (NCIS) portrays serial killer Bundy in a movie that's harrowing as only true-life crime sagas can be. Seattle reporter Richard W. Larsen's book Bundy: The Deliberate Stranger provides the basis for this startling portrait of an elusive killer, who was finally tried and executed in 1989. Nerve-frayed investigators (Frederic Forrest, M. Emmet Walsh and others) detect a pattern in the victims' deaths and ultimately arrest Bundy -- who escapes twice! He resurfaces in Florida. And before the modern era's most desperate manhunt closes in, he strikes again.
