Answer by MystMoonstruck
In a Child’s Name (1991 TV miniseries)
IMDb synopsis:
A true story about a woman who fights her brother-in-law’s parents for custody of her deceased sister’s baby upon learning that her brother-in-law murdered her sister.
IMDb review:
Kudos to Valerie Bertinelli as Angela Cimarelli, the concerned sister who realizes something is awry with her sister’s “perfect” marriage. Her sister marries Kenneth Taylor (Michael Ontkean), who is a dentist with a supposedly great future. However, he cheats on his wife, and, when they return from their honeymoon, she already has been physically abused. Only Angela has the first instinct: something is wrong. … Kenneth buys the obligatory overpriced house, has a thriving practice, and is finally in control; he can pop home at lunchtime, do a few lines of cocaine and go back to his work as an oral surgeon. His life is perfect~he thinks. Then, his wife informs him she is pregnant. Their child clearly is an inconvenience to him. The scenes where he disposes of the body and the interactions between the sisters are very emotional. The Luminol scenes while the police investigate the house are disturbing and effective. Kenneth’s mother asks the police why the bedroom is glowing.
IMDb review excerpt:
The famous Luminol scene will stay with you long after the movie is over. (PS: I know for a fact that that scene is completely accurate. My grandfather was a detective on this case, as my family lives in Staten Island, where the Cimarellis lived, and he was in the room when this happened. He said it’s totally dead-on accurate …)
