Trivia

The character of Maggie Thomas, the confined child murderer who is trying to help Tony locate where she buried her victims, is evidently inspired by Myra Hindley, the "Moors Murders" killer who was taken by the police on highly-publicized expeditions to try to locate where missing victims were buried.
