This is a good movie, but the real story, and the real guy, was actually a good deal worse than portrayed here. The girl was also somewhat younger and witnessed such brutality by him after she broke off their relationship (he killed not only her stepfather but also her mother and little sister, and shortly after raped and killed a teenage girl) that she likely accepted very early in the game that she had no choice but to accompany him and do whatever he said if she was going to have even the slimmest chance of surviving (her involvement is kept quite ambivalent in the movie). She did escape, and he was captured shortly thereafter. He'd killed a total of 10 people - every single person he'd come into contact with during and after killing the girl's family. He was executed and she spent 18 years in jail as his "accomplice", based largely on his testimony that it was she who had murdered some of the victims.
