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 Au-dessus de tout soupçon (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.

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.

Quotes
Ted Bundy: Ted Bundy wants something out of all this. Maybe he doesn't deserve it, but I gotta take care of survival.

Mark Harmon gives a chilling performance as Serial killer Ted Bundy in this 1986 TV movie that played over two nights. Harmon at the time was known for his role on the TV series St. Elsewhere and probably relished playing such a dark character. The movie focuses more on the victims families and the police detectives fight to bring him to justice. There is not any details about his childhood and why he became the monster he became except to say he was cold blooded sociopath who could appear as the guy next door. The police detectives must have thought they were chasing a supernatural phantom as Bundy managed to escape from custody twice. Bundy was eventually caught in 1979 and later executed in Florida in 1989. The movie is now available on DVD from Warner Brothers Archive Collection from Amazon.com and it looks great!!
