This is coming 3 years late. You would need to type in Anthony Cortino and do a google search. The story was in the newspapers. There were differences in the TV movie. The real-life Cortino family was lower income Italian or Hispanic. Anthony never got over the guilt of murdering his brother. He committed suicide a few years later. Sad.
