8:00PM (EDT) No One Would Tell (1996)

Shy sixteen-year-old Stacy Collins can't believe that the most popular guy in school, an attractive athlete named Bobby Tennison, is interested in her. At first she is flattered by his constant attention, but then he becomes possessive and jealous-telling her who she can speak to and what she can wear. Threats escalate into violence when Bobby thinks Stacy has stepped out of line. Soon she is walking on egg shells and living in fear. Having seen the tell-tale bruises, Stacy's best friend convinces her to break things off with Bobby-but in a moment of weakness, Stacy goes to meet him.

8:00PM (EDT) Taken: The Search for Sophie Parker (2013)

Sophie is 18-years-old and heads to Moscow for spring break, but things don't go as planned. She is with a friend on the trip. They are actually at the U.S. Embassy because her dad is a friend of someone working there. Of course they don't just stay there where it is safe though and instead they venture out. The girls end up getting taken by someone.

Her mom, played by Julie Benz, is a detective in New York City. She will fly to Moscow when her daughter goes missing and she is willing to do everything that she can to find her. This movie is based on real events.

Note: I watched this film when it premiered on Lifetime last Friday night. It was a decent made-for-TV movie about the sex-slavery business in foreign countries. One thumb up from BetteDavisEyes ;)

8:00PM (EDT) Whisper of Fear (2013)

Telling the chilling story of a tough, hot-headed cop with a troubled past who teams up with a polished, politically savvy Assistant District Attorney to take down a dangerous stalker, the thriller is inspired by a true story from the book “Whisper of Fear: The True Story of the Prosecutor Who Stalks the Stalkers”, by Rhonda Saunders, a criminal prosecutor who wrote the law on stalking in California.

Frustrated with the judicial system’s indifference towards stalking cases, ambitious A.D.A “Julia Winston” (Jodi O’Keefe) is determined to establish a task force charged with tracking and prosecuting predators before they harm or kill their victims. However, Julia’s “boys club” of bosses dismisses her concerns as trivial and repeatedly rebuffs her efforts. Meanwhile, recently hired detective “Diane Harkin” (Drea de Matteo) faces similar resistance from fellow officers in her new precinct when she discovers numerous unsolved stalking cases...

Note: While not based on true crime, Runaway Jury is an outstanding, suspenseful, well-acted courtroom drama starring John Cusack, Gene Hackman, and Dustin Hoffman. The 2003 film is based on a novel by John Grisham and airs today at 10:00AM (EDT) on AMC.

10:00 PM (EDT) The Blue-Eyed Butcher (2012)

Texas beauty Susan Wright appeared to have a fairytale life with an adoring husband, Jeff, two beautiful kids, and close family and friends. But in 2003, six years into their marriage, the fairy tale crumbles when Jeff is found dead and buried in the backyard of their suburban home. The close-knit community is shocked as police accuse Susan of pre-meditated murder -- luring her husband into the bedroom, tying him up and violently stabbing him almost 200 times before haphazardly cleaning up the crime scene. As Jeff's family reels from the devastating news, Susan begins to mount her aggressive defense; that she needed to kill Jeff out of self-preservation for herself and her children after years of physical and mental abuse. But prosecutor Kelly Siegler is skeptical of her defense and forcefully argues she is a cunning, doe-eyed sociopath, who has used her good looks to try to get away with anything in life -- even murder. The jury rejected her claim of self-defense, and sentenced "the blue-eyed butcher" to 25 years in prison for murder. In 2009 the Texas appeals court granted Wright a new sentencing hearing, after determining that her "counsel rendered ineffective assistance during the punishment phase of trial." On November 20, 2010, Wright was re-sentenced to 20 years in prison, five years less than her original sentence.
