Jerry is a fictional counterpart to "Hank" (real name unknown), a man that Kloepfer met in Alcoholic Anonymous and who was not her coworker. While not left out completely, Kloepfer's drinking problem is downplayed and portrayed as arising after Bundy's first arrest. In reality, Kloepfer had a drinking problem during the better part of her relationship with Bundy, and missed some of his disturbing behavior because of it. For example, Bundy attempted at one point to suffocate her with fumes while she was asleep and she woke up coughing, but she attributed it to a bad hangover. She did not learn the truth until she asked Bundy if he had ever tried to kill her, when he was already in custody in Florida. | |

Adapted Out: Diane Edwards, the posh, dark-haired woman whose breakup with Bundy is thought to have triggered his killing spree, is not mentioned in the film. Instead, Liz is portrayed as the only woman Bundy ever really loved. | |

Mood-Swinger | |

The aforementioned disturbing behavior also included Bundy having unexplained mood swings, pushing Liz off a boat once for no reason, telling her to pretend to be dead while they had sex, having a hatchet under his car seat, stealing a crowbar from her, having crutches and plaster of Paris in the house (which he used to fashion an arm cast and lure victims by asking them for help), as well as a mysterious collection of keys. The only incident that made it into the film was Bundy spying on Liz under the sheets with a flashlight, but it is easily explained as him not trying to disturb her while reading. It is obviously intended to make Liz's final realization more of a twist, but it also makes the fact that she reported Bundy as a suspect to authorities almost come from nowhere (in reality, she did it three times). | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The film opens with Kloepfer visiting Bundy on Death Row in Florida. This did not happen; Liz and Ted never saw each other again after he was extradited to Colorado in 1977 (although he did call her after his Florida arrest in 1978). The guilty plea that Bundy tentatively accepts and then rejects in open court, the one that would have saved his life, was actually in a pretrial hearing rather than after the Chi Omega trial was underway as in this film. And his courtroom "marriage" to Carole Ann Boone actually took place during his second Florida murder trial, for the death of Kimberly Leach. And the daughter that Boone had by Bundy was born three years after his conviction in the Chi Omega murders.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
