Murdered: Burke Dennings
Burke Dennings is a Hollywood director known for being a relatively nice guy—until he gets drunk. Then it’s anyone’s guess which version of Burke Dennings you might get. From screaming to vulgar language to property damage, Burke Dennings leaned into the forgiveness extended to creatively-minded men in the 1970s to engage in whatever his ego told him it wanted to do.
And when Burke Dennings ends up dead, Georgetown police have no shortage of suspects that may have wanted him dead.
But motive and opportunity are two separate things. And while the details of Dennings death make an accident unlikely, the circumstances surrounding his death make murder seem near impossible.
Because at the time of his death, Burke Dennings had gone to the home of his star actress, Chris MacNeil. The only person home at the time was her young daughter, who was stuck in bed with an illness doctors had yet to successfully diagnose.
Regan is the only person with the opportunity to have murdered Burke Dennings. But there’s no way this young girl had the means to perform what was, but all recorded accounts, an intensely physical murder, requiring a strength even most men wouldn’t have possessed.
So how did Burke Dennings end up dead? And what role did Regan MacNeil play in it?
Today episode is based on the book, The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty.
