This 1991 miniseries surrounds the rather twisted family of a very manipulative, selfish, and evil man, David Brown. It begins on a late night in March 1985. David is shown pulling out of his driveway. Soon after, the sound of gunshots awaken this sleepy neighborhood. The other occupants of this house are his wife, Linda, their baby, Amber, Linda's 17 year old sister, Patti Bailey, and David's 14 year old daughter, Cinnamon, from a previous marriage. Linda, his wife, has been shot in the stomach while asleep in bed. From here is the beginning of an investigation that seems to become tangled in its own storyline. Who killed Linda Brown? Why was she wanted dead? Who was behind this gruesome murder? Secrets are revealed, trust is betrayed, and someone is going to pay.

This is a rather serious movie with some compelling performances. Justice does prevail in the end, but Linda Brown still can't be brought back.

This movie is intriguing to me and I find myself watching it every time I find it while channel surfing. The idea of a father asking his young teenage daughter to murder his wife, her stepmother, makes a compelling story. David Brown, to say the least, is a sociopath. Clancy Brown did such a good job portratying sociopathic behavior that even now when I see him in other films, I always think about his haunting portrayal of David Brown. What I wonder now though is nearly 20 years after Linda Brown's murder, whatever became of Cinnamon Brown and Patty Baily, who were minors when Linda was shot to death.

If you like movies based on true stories, this movie is very well done! The story is gripping and the acting is excellent. I have seen this movie twice on Lifetime. I would love to purchase the video, but the price remains prohibitive! What gives?--it's 10 years old!

to find out what happened to Cinny & Patty just bring up Ann Rules web site. she wrote the real story & on her web site it tells you what happened to them.

Lindas Daughter is not named Amber her name is Krystal and Linda was not shot in the stomach she was shot in her cheast. Read The book If you really loved me by Ann Rule it is 100% acurate. this movie is based on Pattis testimony and is not acurate but it is very close. I know so much not from the book but becasue I lived it. Im Lindas Daughter and no im not lying. contact me if you dont believe me. [...]

(I know there are some people out there that claim to be someone they are not that is why i put that)

i thought this movie was heart wrenching and so sad. it was full of deceit ,lies and totally nieve individuals. the movie is one that i want to buy ,but it's not on d.v.d, it's on vhs only.

This true story is a brilliant film and has many twists and turns. I enjoy watching this movie and am glad to have found it on Amazon.

I thought it was a good movie,but I wouldn't pay that much for it.I thought the actors did a good job in portraying the people in the movie,Brown who plays the dad did a very good job,he gave me the creeps.

To my memory the movie was not an accurate portrayal. But then again I was only 17 years old. I played video games with David and his brother in law and Cinnamon when she was just a kid. Linda was pregnant the last time I saw them at Garden Square Bowl. I have been looking for this movie since it came on T.V. I'm glad I found it, but from what I remember, it was different in real life.
