The names were changed in the movie which was based on the true story of former Baltimore police sergeant James Allan Kulbicki, 37, who was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1993 killing of 22-year-old Gina Marie Nueslein, with whom he had a three-year adulterous affair that bore a son. Kulbickishot Ms. Nueslein in the head at close range in his Ford pickup and dumped her body at Gunpowder Falls State Park because he did not want to take responsibility for their son. The slaying occurred Jan. 9, 1993, four days before Ms. Nueslein and Kulbicki were scheduled to attend a paternity hearing.

User Reviews

cool movie

while not the best movie in the world, it is way better than a lot of the made for TV movies that are around. i was surfing through the TV channels because there was nothing to watch and this movie was on court TV, so i decided to give it a try. i was pleasantly surprised at the acting. i thought it was great when compared to other made for TV movies and in fact i didn't even know it was a TV movie until the end credits started rolling. this movie surpassed my expectations and is probably one of the better made for TV movies i have seen. the casting for this movie was great and each of the actors fit their roles nicely. if it should come up, i strongly recommend watching this movie, it's a lot better than the movies on movie channels.
