A popular 17-year-old girl, Jenny Monroe (Thiessen) is found beaten, tortured and drowned in a creek. Her best friend, Ellen Holloway (Margaret Welsh), swears to find the killer, providing moral support to Jenny's mother, Jean (Duke). Moving into the Monroe family home, Ellen becomes like a daughter, helping Jean search for a killer who continues to hide in plain sight. Originally airing on CBS-TV on December 8, 1992, A Killer Among Friends was based on the 1985 murder of Missy Avila, whose killers were eventually convicted of second-degree murder. Sentenced to 15 years-to-life, one was released after serving 21 years, while the other remains in state prison. *Actress in a Supporting Role, The Miracle Worker (1962) Review: Worth Watching - I recalled this story from the news many years ago. The movie is based on the murder of Missy Avila. I also saw interviews with the murdered girl's mother. She appeared on several talk shows that included conversations with one of the murderers - Karen Severson - from prison. The movie is very well made and Patty Duke's acting is especially superb (as usual). This story is a reminder that people are not always what they seem, and that there is no limit to the evil that can result from jealousy. After killing Missy Avila, one of the murderers, Karen Severson actually moved into the victim's home, pretending to find the killer, when what she really wanted was to watch (and enjoy) the victim's mother suffer. And, to illustrate our pathetic justice system, this piece of human garbage, Karen Severson, has been paroled. Review: Great movie - Sad the way they did their alledgely best friend. This is a great movie. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BDZV8ZM | | Actors | Loretta Swit, Patty Duke, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,409 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #13,608 in DVD | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (609) | | Director | Charles Robert Carner | | Item model number | 380756 | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 7.5 x 5.5 x 0.5 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | February 12, 2013 | | Run time | 1 hour and 36 minutes | | Studio | Warner Archive | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Charles Robert Carner, Loretta Swit, Patty Duke, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen - **Format:** NTSC - **Genre:** Mystery & Suspense - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 36 minutes ## Images ![A Killer Among Friends (A.K.A.

This is a great movie. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Patty Duke is empowered! *by K***0 on May 8, 2014* I have always been a Patty Duke fan from the distant days of her sit-com where she played a double role. This particular story is true, and is quite sympathetic to the victim, unlike the accounts you can find on-line that claim the victim was less "innocent." Regardless, the plot moves along well and some people have it all figured out before the ending.
