My Neighbor's Secret

Females in jeopardy: Within the first two minutes, Gretchen is threatened by a gun thug at gunpoint. He ganks her by shooting her as she runs away. With about 9 minutes remaining, Casey is threatened by Brent in the bathroom. She uses a convenient candlestick to hit him and escape to the kitchen, and arms herself with a convenient knife. She is threatened by an approaching male and stabs him through some plastic sheeting, only to learn it was Jason. She is then captured by Brent and held at knife point. She hits him, escaping his hold, and uses a second convenient knife to stab him. The police arrive and Jason and Brent are taken away by ambulance.

Police do not make death notifications over the phone. A detective would not simply hang up after doing so, they would arrange for the spouse to be interviewed.
