Serial killer who fakes having injuries

Post by BeeDub »

- Murder mystery.
- Features a serial killer who approaches women while faking having an injury (arm in a sling, leg in a cast, etc.) before killing them.
- Might have been a TV movie.
- Was probably made in the '80s, no later than 1995.

Given that description, it's likely to be about (or at least based on) Ted Bundy. Was it this Mark Harmon one perchance?

I remember it being more of a whodunit - the first few murder scenes didn't show the killer's face and used a lot of shots from his POV. The emphasis also seemed to be on the investigation rather than the killer's life. Was that done here?

I know this sounds obvious but Silence of The Lambs kind of fits the bill too.

It's not Silence of the Lambs, but it could be The Deliberate Stranger (which isn't easy to find these days, so confirming won't be easy). Thanks.
