Trivia
After filming, Tiffani Thiessen who plays Jenny Monroe, met the Avila family.

Goofs
When Jenny is waiting for Carla on the porch, she takes a purple seashell mirror from her purse. When Carla comes to pick her up, she puts the mirror in the purse. As she gets into Carla's car she is carrying the purse with her--during the death scene, when Jenny gets out of the car her purse is still in Carla's car. But when Jean is given the clothes and items Jenny was wearing during her death, her purse isn't visible either meaning it is still in Carla's car. However, later on when Jean and Cheryl are cleaning out Jenny's room, Cheryl picks up the purple sea shell mirror out of Jenny's makeup basket. It couldn't possibly have been in the basket if it was still in the purse, which Jean doesn't have.

Quotes
Det. Patricia Staley: Why can't you just let us do our job?
Jean Monroe: Because you're not doing it!

Another made-for-TV movie inspired by true events, this movie is rerun on lifetime quite often. It's scary to contemplate a person treating another human being like the girls in this film. This movie is better than most "women in jeopardy, inspired by the story of" television flicks of the late 80s/early 90s. Patty Duke is excellent as bereaved mother and Loretta Swit (Hot Lips from M*A*S*H) lends solid support as the investigating detective who tries to keep Duke's character from jeopardizing the case. A very sad disturbing film.
