The movie is great. Such a tragic story. I hope over the years you have found some sort of peace.

I remember reading the murder story in when i was 17, i was consumned by the contrast of a “movie star” exposed to such violence. of course as a matured and particiapated in drugs i all to well understood why and how this can occur.

i am happy for you and especailly susan it is a miricle she survived.

i am very proud for you getting your life back and wish you well.

I saw this movie and was intrigued by the characters and how I could see some of my friends ending up the same way. It’s sad but true and ever since I’ve seen this movie I stop to think about everything, and I mean every little thing. I can’t give out prayers because of my beliefs, But I can give out my heart to Dawn, Susan,Sharon and the others who lost their lives on the night of July 1st, 1981. I can do the same for all the others who had a tragic end of something that could have been so much better. I give my heart out to everyone who was victimized by this and have to let them know that they are always in my heart for opening my eyes in general. It’s good to see that someone did make it out, and Susan you will always be living for you will always be remembered in my heart. Sharon you are very brave for standing up to something that was so difficult to endure and watch something so close rise and become what John did. Dawn, I am in awe in the whole story and haven’t not thought of what you went through ever since I saw the film. May those who have passed Rest in Peace. Barbara, Ronald, Joy, and William. And Dave Lind, Where ever you may be, I’m Sorry for the loss you encountered,

Ron Launius is an extremely interesting fellow…they should make a movie solely about him…during the Vietnam war he was with the U.S. Air Force, which is where he got hooked on drugs, and he was part of a covert CIA operation, to smuggle Heroin to the United States and to Europe, transporting it in the bodies of dead Soldiers…needless to say he got caught and scapegoated by the military and then court-marshalled and dishonorablely discharged…after getting back he went right back to selling drugs eventually in the mid 70’s his wife susan (portried by Christian Applegte) was kidnapped and held for ransom by the Baja Cartel, Launius came back to the United States and robbed two banks to get the $100,000 they demanded, then went to pay the ransom, after he got his wife released he systematicaly killed well over a dozen Mexican Baja Cartel members in the Sacramento area…he was also suspected of 27 additional murders…they should have included that into the story

Back in the mid/late 1980s, I was finishing up at Eastern Kentucky University, and we had a guy on our floor who claimed to be Tracy Ray McCourt – and claimed to have been a part of this… Had a bunch of jailhouse tats, including some sort of Beatles thing on his chest (IIRC – might have been a different band). Had a serious rap for the (considerably younger than he was) ladies, and laid it on pretty thick… Could this have been the same guy?

If so… Can’t say as I overly mourn him, but he did make life around him interesting…

RPTerror…thankfully, you are not the moral compass for which any of us should live our lives. I’m not sure what I would consider less desirable…a life of criminality and early death of my own making, or a life centered on the self-righteous judgment of others. I would certainly place those with sympathy for others, regardless of how undesirable you might judge those others to be, well above either the criminal or the self-righteous, far and away. Talk about self-centered pretense…your post and your attitude crystallize that idea in the most hypocritical fashion and the funny/disturbing thing is you don’t even recognize that fact. Very sad indeed.

dirtbags, shitheads, scum, filth. The only people to feel sorry for are the coroner’s and such who had to clean HIV ridden filth up.

great movie, I am obsessed with it… but remember they lived their lives to the fullest so hey some people stay off drugs and dont steal and die alone and miserable lonely and depressed with no adventure in their lives so hey if thats your cup o tea. my 2 cents. I especially feel bad for Barbara though. but RIP all of you.
