<p>A blast from Melissa's college days turns into a rollercoaster ride of Murder-to-Movie- to-Murder!  A recollection of a movie from 1985 called "Blackout" - released when Melissa was still in college - pops in to her memory banks as she looks into the 1971 case of John List, who murdered his wife, children and mother in the most macabre way and went on the lam for nearly two decades before "America's Most Wanted" finally smoked him out.  Was "Blackout" based on the List murders? You decide!  BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Not long after the made-for-HBO "Blackout" was released into video stores, another murder with INCREDIBLY SIMILAR facts popped up in the investigation of Ed Sherman in Connecticut.  Could one TV movie be the fulcrum in two different murders 14 years apart?  Melissa thinks so.  What about you?</p>
