Kari,
We are on the same page. The thing you have to keep in mind about Fuhrman’s “imagination” is that he is the ultimate eclectic. He takes a little of this and a little of that and combines them or moves them around. He changes locations or combines them. He takes the name, the sex or the role of one character and gives it to another one. He switches roles. Murder victims in one setting are cops, killers or innocent bystanders in another. The key elements are present, only in different places. Murder in Greenwich mixes so many elements of the Bundy murders with he Moxley murder that it’s sometimes hard to tell them apart. The Fuhrman connections I was surprised not to see in the movies I tracked before I saw his television movie where all there in spades.
In Fuhrman’s Murder in Greenwich book he uses three characters to say what he does in his movie with one character. In the book Rushton Skakel’s girlfriend sees the Current Affair program about Martha ELIZABETH Moxley’s murder and calls the State Attorney. One male informant that Fuhrman calls “PHILLIPS” tells him some things about MICHEL in the drug rehabilitation center. Another informant that he calls “Batman” (Michel Keaten was the first modern Batman) tells him other things. In his movie the people who do all of these things are combined into one character without a name. This person in reality died of a drug overdose after Fuhrman talked to him but before he could testify in Michael’s trial.
In A Killing Affair the first thing that stuck me as O.J. and Elizabeth Montgomery as police detectives entered the house where the maid was murdered were all the delphiniums in the front yard. O.J. had a lot of delphiniums in his front yard at Rockingham. I was also stuck by the Latin name of the murdered maid. The maid in danger of being killed in the O.J. case was Rosa Lopez. Neither Fuhrman nor Roberts reported that they talked to her. Had see recognized their voices, I don’t think that she would lived to tell about it. –Jasper
