Body of Evidence (1988 film)

An unsuspecting nurse (Margot Kidder) fears her forensic pathologist second-husband (Barry Bostwick) may be the psychotic serial strangler behind a recent rash of grisly murders. A local police detective (Tony LoBianco) does his best to unravel clues that may prevent future slayings.[1]

There is a serial killer loose in the area. He is killing young girls by garrotting them with a wire noose. The motive is unknown and therein lies the danger because it is then almost impossible to find out who is behind the crimes. The pathologist involved in most of the murder investigations, discovers a number of clues. He knows that the murderer is Afro-American, left-handed and sterile. He deducted all this from his examinations of the bodies.

As the police detective delves deeper and deeper into the murders, he keeps coming up against a brick wall. Every advantage he gets is lost, as if the killer had the gift of always keeping one step ahead of the detective's investigation.

As the intensity of the killing increases, the need to catch the killer becomes more and more important.[2]
