    Remembering The Woman Who Sued Her Husband's Mistress: 'The Price of a Broken Heart' (The Hutelmyer Case)

      The Price of a Broken Heart, based on Dot Hutelmyer, is true movie nostalgia. I remember this movie and the real case. The true story made headlines in the 1990s when jilted North Carolina wife, Dorothy Hutelmyer, sued her husband's mistress.   Today, they call mistresses side-pieces… The Price of a Broken Heart is also known as Alienation of Affection. The 1999 legal courtroom drama has some heartbreaking moments. We see a devoted wife and mother who encourages her husband every step of the way. But the more his business flourished, the more his eyes wandered. What a shame… It was a long marriage, and Dorothy felt the difference after 18 years. Joe had lost it for her. They were no longer sleeping together, and well, he seemed to have no interest in her. Then, he left. Whoa.. He broke her heart. But he didn’t get away. Dot Hutelmyer was not going to let this woman take her man without compensation.  And Joe? Well, he wouldn't get an ounce of peace until they paid...

    The Legend of Dead Darrius: The True Story of Birmingham Alabama's Urban Legend--Mummified Stuffed Boy

    Dead Darrius  was said to be a  stuffed boy whose mummified body   sat on a porch in Birmingham, Alabama , between the 1950s and 1960s. Since I was a child, I have always loved a good story—not storybook stories—but real stories, the kind you hear from listening to grown folks talk on the front porch. When someone tells a good one, I immediately know if it's something I want to sink my teeth into. The Legend of Dead Darrius was that kind of story. The boy who sat on the front porch known as Dead Darrius (Credit: File Photo Traciy Curry-Reyes) Ivy Brook Walker  It was around midnight on January 8, 2019, when my daughter, Ivy Brook Walker, entered my room to show me a tweet and a creepy photo of a boy they called Dead Darrius. The tweet urged Birminghamians to ask their parents about the story. Ivy asked me if I'd heard of it.  I hadn't. But the photo intrigued me. I got right up and scoured the Internet for hours trying to find information about this boy th...

    'Too Close To Home' Frank Duncan Interview

    When the Lifetime movie "Too Close to Home" aired in 1997, few viewers outside of California realized it was based on a chilling true story. As a curious writer and researcher, I became determined to uncover the real names behind the made-for-television film. I remember scouring old newspapers for similar cases, which eventually led me to the disturbing story of Ma Duncan , her son Frank Duncan, and the tragic murder of Olga Kupczyk—a pregnant woman in the 1950s. Too Close to Home was based on Ma Duncan (credit: Police File Photo & Artwork Traciy Curry-Reyes    I think what made this movie so interesting was the strange relationship Elizabeth had with her son, Frank Duncan. She loved him very much---to the point of obsession. Let's Look at the Title and Plot Thinking about the movie now, it's obvious that the title, Too Close to Home, is inspired by two facts. 1. The killer---who turned out to be his own mother---was right under Frank's nose and literal...
