True Story?


Does anyone know if this movie was based on a true story? Or if there is a book written about it anywhere, if so, what is the name of the book?
Thanks.

reply

Yes, it is a true story. There is a book about it by Barry Siegal called "A Death in White Bear Lake." Hope that helps.

I met Rick, Buck, Grant and Renee, who were all adopted by the Jurgens. Rick lived across the street from me in Atlanta GA, and yes this is DEFINITELY a true story....

Yes this is a true story. Lois is a relative of mine. The book version is "A Death In White Bear Lake" by Barry Seigel.

sorry -i'm sure your life hasn't been easy -w/ the story being so public. I know what it is like to have a creepy person in the family, and for people to talk. -Especially if it is a small community!
I know it was several years ago, but my sympathies go out to you.

If I were to find her, I would make her suffer dearly. She's a widow now.
