With Murder in Mind (1992)
This is my families story... real information but may spoil it:(
I really can't judge fairly from 1-10 as this movie is about my mother, my family, my wedding at the end. For the people who may be feeling compassion for the man who committed this crime, shame on you. When movies are made "based" on true stories, there is no possible way that all the information can be portrayed in 100 minutes. This was a long drawn out process for my mother as well as our entire family. Technically there were no murders committed but the intent of the perpetrator was to leave these people dead. The movie portrays our family loosely but the actual events of the crime are accurate. Some may sense that there was not enough evidence to convict this man of this crime where we know otherwise. The paper trails that were tied to this man were undeniable including a multitude of phone records connecting him to my mother for a length of time prior to the crime setting up appointments to gain entrance into the home. I truly believe in the real world if someone is behind you with a gun pointed at your head and they are speaking to you that you would never forget that voice. It is that voice that my mother heard on that actual day at the Randy Travis concert at a local fair. When wondering why she waited until the next day to contact authorities (and it was not over a casual lunch), this man was a mounted policeman. I guess people need to realize that there is a lot of corruption in law enforcement which would make my mother leery of contacting police at that very moment. This man did have real life financial difficulties and burned down his own home d/t these financial reasons. Nothing is ever black and white and movies are just that MOVIES. They are there to tell a story but also for our entertainment. Yes this is 2011 and I am just commenting now as I came across this website by accident. Our family has since moved on but this tragedy is something that will stay with us forever. As far as the wedding scene at the end seeming like a fairy tale ending, it just happened that the man was convicted on the day of my rehearsal for my wedding. My mom never used this experience to become "famous", this opportunity was brought to her. Because of this experience, Realtors now use different techniques for safety which in the current world we live in is a good thing. As a side note, previous to this incident, my twin sister was abducted by two men after being lured to a cabin they said they had wanted to list. The man responsible for her kidnapping was also responsible for a murder in Colorado and my sister had to go there and testify. There are heinous crimes all around us and no one should judge the outcome or prison sentence until you have lived through it.
