It was during their relationship that Bundy committed multiple murders, and it was Kloepfer who helped the authorities finally convict him. Penned by Michael Werwie, the movie shows how one man’s routine traffic stop leads to the revelations of his vast amount of crimes. Parsons will join an already star-studded cast list that also includes John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan, and Grace Victoria Cox besides Efron and Collins.
