Real Life Murder

Ed Sherman's murder of his wife Ellen on August 3, 1985[1] was inspired by this movie. Just like the movie, Sherman turned on the air conditioner in order to establish an alibi. He was later sentenced to fifty years in prison in 1992 but only served four because he died of a heart attack in 1996.[2] This murder was featured in the Forensic Files episode "A Dinner and a Movie."[3]
