The Killing Mind is an American television movie of 1991 directed by Michael Ray Rhodes, starring Stephanie Zimbalist and Tony Bill.

Storyline

Isobel Neiman (Stephanie Zimbalist), a police detective in Los Angeles, formerly an FBI agent, studies the case of the murder of a ballerina twenty years earlier and does not understand why it was closed. Securing the help of Thomas Quinn (Tony Bill), a journalist who had covered the story, she reopens the case. Neiman runs into resistance from male colleagues, including Captain Harris (Stan Ivar), who believe the case is cold and is beyond the abilities of a woman detective.[1] [2]

The killer becomes aware of Neiman's investigation and decides to kill her.

The movie is rated PG-13 for violent content and the references to drug use.[2]
