DVD Synopsis
A remarkably self-deprecating entry in the USA network's off-and-on Ann Rule Presents series of fact-based films, The Stranger Beside Me details how Ann Rule (Barbara Hershey), a smart and savvy veteran crime reporter, allowed herself to be bamboozled by baby-faced serial killer Ted Bundy (Billy Campbell). Working side by side with Bundy as a volunteer at a Seattle rape crisis center in 1971, Rule had no clue that the personable and charming young man was responsible for one the most terrifying sex-murder sprees of the 20th century. Even after suspicion fell upon Bundy, Rule was initially willing to give him the benefit of the doubt -- as, alas, were so many law enforcement officials of the era. But once the truth was known, Rule embarked upon her own mea culpa campaign by going after Bundy with every resource at her disposal. Based on Rule's 1983 bestseller of the same name, The Stranger Beside Me originally aired March 21, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

True crime writer ANN RULE worked alongside of TED BUNDY as a counselor at a telephone crisis/suicide prevention center. She has written a highly acclaimed book about her interactions with Bundy as well as his infamous life before and after that time. This film comes from that book. Watch it only if you dare. Serial killers turn my stomach. I want ALL serial killers to get their just deserves. Does that make me a wannabe serial killer of serial killers? Perhaps, but then I would be walking in their shoes.
