Rabbit Hole: Based on a True Story



Rabbit Hole:  Based on a True Story: Serial Killer Edition

Welcome back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast!

I am continuing here with our Based on a True Story series.  This is the first one on Serial Killers.

There are a lot of movies made about serial killers.   For instance, there are at least four movies about Ted Bundy.  There are at least two on Jeffrey Dahmer, two or more on John Wayne Gacy, two on the Zodiac Killer, etc.  For this series we will go over the movies and the crimes of these as well as all the lesser known serial killers.   Hopefully you will find a few movies you want to watch and possibly along the way learn a few interesting things, you didn’t know before. And of course, there will be names of some bonus movies at the end.

Welcome Back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast

On this episode we are continuing on with the Based on a True Story series where I am covering a movie that is based on a true crime story and we’ll go over the movie as well as what really happened.  Also, stay tuned at the end of each episode as I will be giving some bonus movie names.  These are names of true crime movies that I’m not going to cover in this series but you can go and look up and watch on one of the streaming platforms.

The movie for this episode is: Stalking Laura and it is really well done.  It’s one of those that have stuck with me, and really makes you think.

Based On A True Story



Based on a True Story: This is the first episode in a series of episodes to feature cases that also have movies based on them.  Our own Based on a True Story series.  Some movies are much more obscure than others but with a little searching you can find them on your streaming services or possibly on youtube.  For each episode: I will tell you all about what happened for real in the case and give you the name of a movie that it is based on it.  Also, stay tuned at end of each episode as I will give you some bonus movie names that you can look up and watch, and of course, are based on true crime stories.

The True Crime Movie that was based on this first case is:  And Never Let Her Go (2001 movie) Starring: Mark Harmon, Kathryn Morris, Paul Michael Glaser and Steven Eckhold. The movie is Based on the Ann Rule book of the same name.  I found the movie on TubiTV at the time of research for this recording.
