    You are a hero Eva!

    Eva LaRue played the part of Carrie perfectly. I loved seeing her on All My Children and now she is in a movie that taught me how people really act in this world. The scene in the movie that I liked was at the end when she was asking Rosa if she knew who she was. I want to be a police officer when I get older because I want to protect people from harm. Eva you taught me that family is the most important thing in life and how to live your life to the fullest. You are a hero in my eyes. You are an excellent actor and you have the talent to go very far. You are so cool and you are always going to be a role model to me. When I get older I hope to be just like you when I get older. Eva you are the best!

    Enjoyable afternoon mystery

    I could not stop watching this movie, although I've seen it at least twice since 2006. It was very believable and unpredictable at the same time. Definitely one of the most entertaining lifetime movies- with great acting from everyone. I for one was glad that they cut down on the "blatant gore" factor, something which is very unnecessary for those that enjoy good acting/entertainment. I remember Eva LaRue from " All My Children". She was a was a standout even then. I would definitely recommend this movie for a lazy Saturday/Sunday afternoon with friends or family. I'm not sure what others- who've rated this movie 2-3 stars- are looking for in a good made for TV movie. This one has it!!

    Insipid drivel for sure

    Home from work sick and watched this horrid piece of crap. Predictable storyline and no real mysteries here.

    The script was not well written at all and full of clichés. The only mystery here is what was "Scott", a youngish and good looking guy, doing messing around with "Rosa" who was older and not attractive at all........

    The actress who played Carrie the policewoman was okay but I don't get the other reviewers who thought she was so tremendous. Best of the bunch is the actor who played her partner.

    A very disappointing movie. From the credits it appears that it is a Canadian production. Surely we can do better than this?

    Good Story Line - Very Unrealistic

    The story was based on the very realistic happenings that occur in this sick world of ours today. The problem with the movie is that the actions of the police, the heroine and the parent the movie were so far fetched and unrealistic that it made the movie not worth watching. Over the years, I come to expect Lifetime movies to be a tad on the corny side. But they are generally very clean and devoid of gratuitous sex and violence so I always watch them. To me that is a worthwhile swap. This movie was over the top and very predictable. The movie did have a bright spot and that was Eva. Not her role mind you, but just watching her was wonderful.

    Loved Eva

    I love Eva as the conniving (spelled right?) Natalia on CSI Miami and she was great in this movie too! I thought she brought a lot of compassion to her character and made me really feel for her. Does anyone know when she's doing another movie?

    Her and her partner also had a great chemistry and I wanted to see them hook up in the end. I can't believe there have been actual crimes like this. It did also feel like the Lacy Petersen thing at times to. The husband was even called "Scott." I wonder if that was intentional. I just wanted to slap that mother though, lol. And the husband. It was a fun ride though.

    • Trivia
      In real life, Eva LaRue's younger sister was listed as a missing person in Los Angeles County. This was due to a listing of girls suspected to have been kidnapped/murdered by serial killer William Bradford in the early 80's. It turned out, however, that Eva's sister was, in fact, alive and well.
