About this deal

Bundy died in the electric chair on January 24, 1989, at Florida State Prison. He was 42 years old. Marylynne Chino was best friends with Elizabeth Kloeppfer, who eventually went on to date Ted Bundy. However, Chino had a bad feeling about her friend’s boyfriend from the very beginning. In 1969, while hanging out at the Sandpiper Lounge in Seattle, Washington, she spotted Bundy staring at Kloeppfer. She recalled, “I’ve never forgotten this. I walked in, and across the room, I saw Ted for the first time. I will never forget the look on his face, it wasn’t evil but he was staring [and] nursing a beer.” Bundy: The Deliberate Stranger was written by Seattle Times reporter Richard W. Larsen and published in 1980. Larsen covered politics for the Times and had interviewed Bundy in 1972, several years before he became a murder suspect, when Bundy worked as a volunteer for the re-election campaign of Gov. Daniel J. Evans and had been seen trailing the campaign of Evans' Democratic opponent with a video camera. Molly Kendall, Liz's daughter, is portrayed at different ages by Macie Carmosino, Ava Inman, Morgan Pyle, and Grace Balbo. Director Joe Berlinger and cinematographer Brandon Trost make cameo appearances as the presenter and cameraman who interview Ted in Colorado.

Years later, when Bundy stood trial in court for his horrific crimes, young women would surge toward the public gallery to get a closer look at the serial killer—even passing love notes to his defense team. It was this attractiveness and charm that aided Bundy in his ability to lead his victims like lambs to the slaughter once he had gained their trust. Author Ann Rule was a former colleague of Ted Bundy. They both worked shifts together as telephone operators for a suicide helpline. In Rule’s best-selling book The Stranger Beside Me, she revealed it was his good looks that allowed his traits as a true sociopath to go under the radar.

Grace Victoria Cox as Carol DaRonch, a woman Ted kidnapped in Utah, leading to his first conviction. Rule later describes the trial of Bundy for the murder of 12-year-old Kimberly Leach in Florida. Bundy was sentenced to death in Florida. He continued to assert innocence for years, but shortly before execution confessed to over 30 murders in an apparent bid to delay his death.

The Stranger Beside Me: The Inside Story of Serial Killer Ted

In the documentary series Conversations with A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, DaRonch recalled, “He headed down a side street and then he suddenly pulled over up on the side of a curb up by an elementary school and that’s when I just started freaking out. And he grabbed my arm and he got one handcuff on one wrist. I had never been so frightened in my entire life. I thought, ‘My god my parents are never going to know what happened to me.’” [3] In 2003, The Stranger Beside Me was adapted into a made-for-TV film starring Billy Campbell as Bundy and Barbara Hershey as Rule. I liked him immediately. It would have been hard not to,” she described in her book. “As far as his appeal to women, I can remember thinking that if I were younger and single or if my daughters were older, this would be almost the perfect man.” [2] Brian Geraghty as Dan Dowd, Ted's public defender in Florida when he is re-captured after escaping in Colorado. The Deliberate Stranger is a book about American serial killer Ted Bundy written by Seattle Times reporter Richard W. Larsen that was published in 1980. The book spawned a television miniseries of the same title, starring Mark Harmon as Bundy, that aired on NBC on May 4–5, 1986.

Ted and Carole Ann grow closer as she visits him regularly; the two begin a relationship, but Ted continues to reach out to Liz who is following his trials via television. She carries the guilt of being the person who gave Ted's name to the Seattle authorities in 1975. Ted later proposes to Carole Ann mid-trial and they marry. Lily Collins as Liz Kendall, a college student and single mother who enters a relationship with Ted and believes his claims of innocence through his trials.
