Summary
Loosely based on a true crime story.
The majority here is fiction. The parts of the crime that seem unbelievable are true. The parts that make perfect sense are fiction.
True crimes shows usually entertain me. This particular episode of Your Worst Nightmare, is truly everyone's worst nightmare.

First thing's first, you are a bonafide screenwriter. I can tell that by your writing. You have a very unique voice and it works well with the script you have written. There isn't much to tell you about the craft of screen writing because it's obvious that you have put much study into it. You write like someone that has been doing it for years. You know what you want to say, you know what you want your characters to do and you know where you want...
