October 2023 will be the 40th anniversary of the telefilm Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer. Initially released on October 15, 1983, the film was based on the case that inspired the Judith Rossener novel Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Based on the brutal and shocking murder of Roseann Quinn in January of 1973 (Quinn was a late-20s schoolteacher for deaf children in New York City), this particular telefilm was a dramatization and recreation of the investigation into the 1973 homicide - with Quinn renamed Mary Alice Nolan. In the film, George Segal played New York detective John Grafton who only had a cartoon drawing found at the crime scene as lead. In the course of his investigation, he meets Logan Gay (Shelley Hack), Mary Alice's friend and co-teacher. Logan would later help Grafton in his investigation. Tracy Pollan played Eileen Grafton, John Grafton's daughter.
