Dominick Dunne investigates a murder in a seedy Las Vegas motel. The chain of evidence leads back to the Delaware mansion of the powerful Dupont family.
It would be ironic if it wasn't so sad, that to keep Linda away, the one person who could have turned Dean's life around, Lisa sent her son directly into the arms of a junkie. Lisa really screwed her children up.
she could have been so thankfull for this middleclass bookkeeper daughter in law. She could have given to her husband that normality that his mother couldn´t
Underneath those fashionable clothes and that perfectly coifed hair was a truly despicable, miserable, bitter and controlling woman. Lisa Dean is a piece of work
+Susan Nunes I didn't hear anything about her passing away!!! Dean died?? When?? I know that they said that Peter overdosed in 1995, but Dean?? What did he die from? Thanks for the info!!
K Tibaijuka Ann Slater is one of those pitiless venom-filled socialites with impeccable cosmetic surgery, perfect grooming and hair and manners, including the seductive way she has of throwing her head back when she laughs. She's intelligent and has been around the scene for many years. The Slater family is old money, well known for its wealth on the East Coast and New York in particular.
I beg to differ from Dominick Dunne's opinion on the DuPont family...For all the rich and elite God is shown all your works..daily! Everything we do and say is recorded...guess what no one is exempt ...for the ETERNAL LAW BOOKS!
It is sad that Lisa could not be convicted, but thats how life is, unfair at times , but I am sure that she will be answerable for her actions in the hereafter in front of The Lord.
I was here thinking exactly that. She might have gotten away with it in this life, but no money, lawyer, fame or prestige can insulate her from true just that is only renderable by the almighty creator. She is no Du Pont in front of the Almighty God. Rather, she is just another sinful, disgusting human being who is deserving of her recompense for all the pain she inflicted on others whilst on this earth.
Ser Torrhen Clegane I already lost that one. I make minimum wage. I am grotesquely obese. And the $40 hookers in my neighborhood are foul, toothless, scabby, disease ridden, horror shows. Most likely I will die alone.
While the rich are interesting, I would never refer to the as "royalty" since so many of them are monsters under the trappings of wealth. And I believe this is the second murder attributed to the Duponts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Eleuth%C3%A8re_du_Pont
"They" thought of themselves as royalty because of their money. Sickening. The inter-marrying of relatives did produce a lot madness and monsters in the Dupont family. Who knows how many more criminal acts were covered up with such wealth.....Blueblood, nah, cold-blooded and selfish, yup!
I think the Sons hated their mother , She had taken their father away . She didn't really care about her sons. I mean his first wife wanted to get him help . That Lisa Woman , as cold as a fish.
Mrs. Ann Slater is such a elegant and refined woman. I have seen her on other programs of Dominic Dunns and she has the most interesting society stories to tell. In one program she talked about how she entertained the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The Duke of Windsor was King Edward of England for a time and then he abdicated the throne of England for the woman he loved. I love Mrs. Saters blue glasses.
Dominic and his producers should have looked at the stripes on the guy's arms. "never rising above sergeant". He was a fairly senior one. The most distinguished people in the Army are long serving NCOs.
The inbreeding seems pretty evident, don't you think? I've often heard it said that the duPonts are crazy as shit house rats. Lisa was indeed gorgeous, but apparently way off the rails. Can you imagine smoking as much as this broad did? Makes me sick to think about it.
Mosley was a crazed maniac who only lusted after money and more money and more money. He blew thousands of dollars on his own during the "Mission Dean" and was about to get more from Lisa in the form of the club house. Had the cops not intervened, only God knows what else he might do for Lisa or who else he could take care of for her. In some ways, Lisa had hired a hitman for a husband to take care of her problems where she being the Du pont heiress did want want to get her hands dirty.
I doubt she did know - he would not want to bother her with detail - he would surprise her with the very good news that the girl had apparently been murdered by one of her low life circle. But if she did know it would make no difference - Mosely realized quite quickly he could go to jail protecting her or he could take her with him. In the first instance he WOULD be cared for for the duration of his incarceration, and quickly transferred to a low security "holiday farm" - in the second he WOULD NOT be cared for and would almost certainly be dead with in a matter of weeks. That kind of money can buy things mafia god fathers can only dream of.
Dominick Dunne was one of the greatest crime writers' and novelist in America. What made him famous was his ability to enter the close communities of the elite (The Duponts) and famous(O.J), because he was famous in his own right. He's also known because of the murder of his daughter Dominique Dunne; she played the oldest daughter in the film Poltergeist . Dunne was strangled by her ex-boyfriend, John Thomas Sweeney.

They should have gotten her really high and then overdosed her with drugs and a poison. Really folks, not that hard...Everyone walk out arm in arm and singing a song till out of camera range and then a drive to the desert and a shovel...years later
+Layla Hassan Layla, you are either completely uneducated or just a moron. Condolences is an expression of sympathy, especially on the occasion of a death. CONDONE means to accept and allow (behavior that is considered morally wrong or offensive) to continue. Stay in school and if not in school, register for school as soon as you can for as long as you can.
I don't think it' simply because you're rich you get away with murder. You have talented knowledgeable lawyers and inept lawyers...and who's gonna win.
yes ok people SHE CONDONED IT...this is a fabricated type of journalism..MR.DUNNE since when according to the law are you guilty because in your mind and only in your mind you wish another person dead???
well there is no evidence at all against lisa so why accuse her, detectives saying she was part of it, dont blame her cause shes rich. dumb detectives looking to catch a big society fish to get that name for themselves THEY HAD NOT 1 SHRED OF EVIDENCE and footnote Dupont family dont forget i accept gifts i know you are a very kind family love you bye
