The true story it was based on?

Does anyone know about it? When I Google "The Stranger Beside Me" all I get is stuff about Ted Bundy.

Sounds like it was based on the case in this book:
Evil Beside Her: The True Story of a Texas Woman's Marriage to a Dangerous Psychopath by Kathryn Casey

That's the book I'm reading right now. In fact, I bought the book because I recognized the case from this move.

Zeke Robertson. And I ain't your son either.
Catch ya on the flip side.

This is an unrelated movie with the same title. It is a movie about a rapist, and not a serial killer, though in 2003 a movie was made based on the book about Ted Bundy which is also titled "The Stranger Beside Me."

I'm watching an episode of, "Who the (bleep) did I marry" that is very similar to this movies storyline.

Edit:

It was based on the couple in the show, James and Linda Bergstrom...The original title was, "The Enemy Within: The Linda Bergstrom Story."

Here's to those who wish me well...
