The Unicorn killer in this movie the approach is nonsense

(1999) The Hunt For The Unicorn MYSTERY/ THRILLER

Made for TV movie shown in two parts which can be seen together on one disc, based on a true story about Ira Einhorn nicknamed the 'Unicorn killer' who's a well known celebrity activist during the 60's and 70's but has an irrational behavior toward his female relationships that he lives with, particularly Holly played by Naomi Watts who went missing but then later found. Made in the same fashion as "All Good Things" except this one is a made for TV movie with the killer always getting away. I also don't like the fact how the assumed perpetrator gets away and viewers never know what this guy really looks like in real life since this is all made up- I should not have to 'google' this information on my own if this is indeed supposed to be a true story, at least provide an actual picture of what this guy really looks like at the end, for listening to this for 3 hours divided into two parts.
