Vows of Deception (1996)
The actual Lucinda
This movie is a true movie and not a bad one at that. The actual Lucinda is Susan Grund. She married Jimmy Grund . A very prominent family from Peru Indiana. I read the book "Deadly Seduction" and the movie leaves a lot out. The book is so much better. This woman , if thats what you want to call her is very deceiving. Before she married Jimmy Grund she was married to Tom Whited Sr. She beat her stepson's so bad he is now mentally retarded. One of his hands remains in a curled position due to his mental retardation and after-effects of his medication to curb is seizures. He can only volunteer one coherent word and that word is Food. She is one sick human being. Susan Grund is the only one who knows exactly what happened that night in August. She still insists she is Innocent of the charges . Connie and James A. Grund (parents of Jimmy) still live in the same house on Main Street in Peru. Their feelings about Susan have never mellowed and they visit the grave of their murdered son each weekend. Gary Nichols (best friend of Jimmy) is still a detective for the Peru Police Dept. and has continued to work surveillance operations for the FBI and statewide drug organizations mainly on drug related cases. Darlene Worden (Susan's Sister) says she will still not stop loving her sister despite the murder she committed and the fact that Susan refuses to reply to her letters. Darlene admits she wishes she had not split the family by informing on her sister to the authorities. Nellie Sanders (mother of Susan) remains convinced that others were involved in the murder of Jimmy besides her daughter. Me personally cant imagine anyone else but her to have done it as Jimmy was a well respected and liked man. Nellie still lives in the same rundown house on 3rd street, Peru; the house that Susan so desperately tried to leave behind. Susan is now in a house she needs to stay in PRISON !!!!!! I hope the info I have provided you helps. Anyone with questions to this just post them if I can answer I will be happy too. I am also going to give you a timeline in hopes this can be of good info.

Someone She Knows (1994)
The Outcome of David Woodward ?
I just watched "Someone She Knows" although it was a very good movie I I wished it would have had the conclusion of the trial. Usually at the end of the movie there is the outcome of the jail sentence. It is so many people that could be and are in the same danger as this little girl was. This movie will help people think about others. This happened back in 1986, this is now 2007, I hate to imagine how many more children this has happened too. A sad thing too because children are innocent and so trusting to people they know ( think they know ).
I have tried to find out the outcome on the trial. When it took place and what his sentence was. I have not had any luck. What about the parents Belinda and Kim Sorrell ? Are they still in Kansas ? Did they ever have any more children ? If anyone has any information on this would you please post it ?
When No One Would Listen (1992)
The real Gary and Jessica Cochran
I too seen the movie and really liked it. I always try and look up any information on a true movie as in trying to find the real names the location, the trial etc....Here is what I have found so far. I hope this helps.
David was found guilty of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault in the 1987 shootings. He faces at least 40 years in prison before parole, and prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty. David Guenther -- 6-foot-5, 260-pounds -- beat Pamela regularly for 15 years. Her close friends knew it. But she stayed with her husband, who was unemployed and apparently universally disliked. When she finally left David, Pamela took her two children and secretly moved in with her boss -- who later became her lover. David -- who in 1986 killed a neighbor woman and wounded her husband in a bloody quarrel on the doorstep of the Guenther home in a Denver suburb -- tried to kidnap Pamela in a doughnut shop parking lot and threatened her life repeatedly.
After she got a restraining order forcing him to leave their home so she could move back in, he forced his way into the house and held her hostage at gunpoint for four hours before surrendering to local police.
Yet, eight hours after David was arrested, he was out on $10,000 bail, charged only with burglarizing his own home -- a fact that outraged Pamela's friends and neighbors. He began stalking Pamela, who hid from him in a shelter for battered women and insisted upon -- and got -- police escorts to her supermarket job. A week after the hostage episode, David jumped out of his car in a parking lot and shot Pamela to death in front of their children. He is serving a life sentence for first-degree murder.
