This is certainly one of the best made for TV crime films I've watched recently.

The storytelling is great and the acting is fantastic especially, from the main leads Patty Duke and Margaret Welsh.

Both ladies did an excellent job portraying their characters. Patty made you feel the hurt, pain and anger that Irene Avila must have gone through when she lost her daughter as her character Joan in the movie. Equally, Margaret did a brilliant job at portraying the envious, manipulative and ultimately murderous Karen Severson as the character Ellen.

I'd definitely recommend watching this film especially, if you like crime films based of true cases.

This was one of the best made for TV movies based on a real life crime I've ever seen.

The acting from all the cast was fantastic and the storyline was absolutely on point. I couldn't believe what this family went through to not only lose a child in such an horrific way but, for the police and prosecutors to then twist everything to form their narrative was just appalling.

This film highlights how Jaclyn's case should be a warning for all law enforcement and legal personnel who fail to do their duty to victims and, the friends and family of those victims. Instead they got tunnel vision, misinterpreted evidence and failed to track down leads and viable suspects.

I would highly recommend this film for any one looking to watch a decent made for TV crime movie and especially, to anyone looking for one that's based on a real life case.

I truly hope Cindi, David and their whole family is doing well and that their future has been much brighter.

I came across this movie while looking for new made for TV movies/real life movies to watch based on true crime stories on my prime.

The film based on the real life shocking and ultimately heart breaking murder case of Roger "Butch" Pratt was a decent watch for a TV movie.

The acting was great especially from Kate Jackson who portrayed Rogers' mother Rose Earl in the movie. The scenes she shared with Neal Huff who portrayed their elder son Michael were particularly moving to watch.

The movie at times did feel a bit rushed however, that is sometimes the case with TV movies as they are only given a certain amount of time to cram the content/information into. I would of also, liked to have seen more scenes with Sean McCann who portrayed Mr Earl Rogers' father in the movie and, see how the disappearance and ultimately murder of his son effected him as well because he is a great actor himself.

I'd recommend this movie 100% it's not a bad watch for a TV Movie.
