Short Overview
True story of a woman (Stephanie Kane) who, on the eve of marriage, finds out that her would-be mother-in-law (Betty Frye) has been brutally murdered, and the leading suspect is her would-be father-in-law. The father-in-law manages to evade a trial. A few years, Kane’s husband has a complete mental breakdown and walks away from the marriage.
