Default Not something you see every day

Strangled three women. Sentenced to hang by the neck until dead. At least the answer is clear on the front page.

Default Movie

A movie was made in the 1980's https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092858/trivia

The local MV club , the VMVC, provided the vehicles for the movie. My Jeep was going to be the main Jeep used by James Coburn but I had to pull out at the last minute.

Unfortunately the movie production was beset with many problems and it turned out to be a horrible movie, a pity as it could have been a classic thriller instead of being a dud.

Known as the "Brownout Murders": see:

... for a contemporary take on the proceedings when reporters still reported the news.
