    I was a producer of this film, and writer of both the screenplay and True Crime book "Citizen Jane" that it is based on. When the casting director phoned me and asked "what do you think about Meatloaf for the homicide detective," I jumped on the chance. He phoned me a week later to ask how to play the character and I told him the real detective was a great interrogator because he never talked "me talking ain't the point" was the key line in the screenplay and film. He fumbled around like Columbo. But let me respond to a few comments here - a number of folks said there are "mistakes" in the script because cops would never let Jane and her boyfriend Tom view the crime scene and "touch things" and contaminate it. They never touched anything in the film, but that's EXACTLY what they did - tour the scene to look for anything missing and clues to Gertrude's activities. But it's even worse - I left out what the first cop really did. San Jose PD was short on officers on their night shift, so he let Jane and Tom SPEND THE NIGHT IN ANOTHER BEDROOM that was not part of the crime scene. That's correct. And it was during that night - after Jane pointed out the check registry was missing from her Aunt's checkbook - that Tom replaced it. And that's what hung him - when a 2nd photographer arrived the next day and re-photographed the entire scene, the checkbook had been moved slightly and another detective - who did not confer with the first - reported the checkbook was normal. IT'S NOT LAW & ORDER - cops make mistakes all the time. The real detective in this case compensated for the mistakes of others - and that's how Meatloaf played him. Years later, that brilliant detective put all these complex pieces together and compared everything from e very investigator the preceded him. We call them the Super-cops, and he was one of them..

      I think this was a compelling movie and have watch it a few times.. By the way my father was a cop in san jose and i was born there although he died well before this crime and I didn't remember it. I would have liked to see more of the behind the scenes detective work.. For instance when they first found the rag stuffed down her throat and then the part about the handy man . He later tells Jane he was in Monterey but he had told her he cashed a check a few hours after the murder.. Also the 1st detective didn't do much of a follow up.. Many must have thought she knew the murderer and it was not a robbery.. Also the detective thinking that prompted him to start investigating the LA connection.. It is interesting how someone could kill a women that he knew and was the woman that raised Jane. And then go to her house like he had just gotten back from a trip. You are right this detective was brilliant . Anyway a movie worth watching

I sold it to CBS, then Court TV - the same years they all went out of the movie business. It was an unlikely buy at Hallmark because they never did a True Crime/True Life Movie, but they loved it so much they wanted to take a risk.

    My girlfriend was murdered when she was 18 and I was 19.
    By the time of her funeral, all I owned was a pair of Levi's and my dog.
    My friend kept me alive for months with heavy tranquilizers, hot meals, and a place on his floor.
    I don't know how strong this woman had to be to do anything for anyone after her closest friend was murdered; because it almost killed me~

      Criminal justice is even more criminal when public defenders make plea bargains that put innocent people--usually Black--into jail for a lesser crime they did not commit, because they don't think they'll be found not guilty. I loved this movie and was happy with the ending, but better a hundred guilty people go free than one innocent person be found guilty.

    If this movie is based on a true story, Jane Alexander is the most amazing woman other than another truly amazing woman who was a paratrooper shot down by Nazis when she flew into German air space.She would not allow mental and physical torture
    make her reveal the location and identities of WWII freedom fighters.
    It's so much easier to fold and give up when things go against you. These two women got the strength and resolve
    , God only knows from where or how they kept fighting when everything went against them.
    The name of this paratrooper was Hannah Senesh. She died during her interrogation after they dismembered her while she was still alive.

      I have heard her amazing heart wrenching story! I have lived through a pow exp, & I have to tell you, we can bare more than we realize, then we feel GOD'S shelter in HIS wings, & HE gives you the next breath & the ability to make the next step! A really great homicide detective worked with me on my sisters murder. Coroner insisting it was an od! SHE DIDN"T LIKE DRUGS! 1 Detective listened to me, though he couldn't technically make a case without the Coroner starting it, he promised to keep his head up & looking into as he could. Coroner was a jerk & refused to even acknowledge she had severe defensive wounds all over her that hadn't been there a couple hours before when Mom left her apartment, 1 am & she was headed straight to sleep after a long day! Shortly the Detective called me to say another women died the same way in the apt below my sisters, & now they had him! He was able to add my sis in & be on the case! We had a ton of info we dug out of my sister's apt that aided them a bunch. The landlord had said the guy who lived below my sis was responsible from the beginning! It was actually 3 people that we knew of, a team that deliberately got easy to manipulate people addicted to heroin, etc & then force them to do fraudulent returns for more drugs. Only they kept shooting them up with bad dope. My sis definitely didn't do needles, but had talked with me the day before about these really nice people that were having her babysit their kitten, & were trying to talk her into trying shoving needles, the conversation ended with NO WAY! You fight like hell not to let that crap get put in you, she did GOD BLESS her! We didn't find the kitten, but for some reason they had moved in a bunch of boxes between when Mom dropped her off & a boyfriend found her dead body around 4am. We found a ton of evidence to give cops on their schemes & involved extended family members locations! Mom & I worked on it for months! Then Detective called ton say he was dead! That Detectives attitude actually helped a great deal to bare the pain of loosing her so horribly! We had spent a long day together just hours before. 4th of July wonderfully blessed time with her singing " This little light of mine, I am gonna make it shine" in her beautiful 4 octave voice, while all my kids were doing their sparklers! She fought hard, then was with JESUS immediately! No one could ever hurt her again!
