The Murder of Betty Gore by Candy Montgomery

What a Creep<br />Season 17, Episode 6<br />The Murder of Betty Gore by Candy Montgomery<br /><br />Candy Montgomery was just another bored 70s suburban Texas housewife when she was tried for committing a crime so heinous people still have difficulty making sense of it. The murder of Betty Gore was the subject of a TV series starring Jessica Biel and Melanie Lynskey on HULU called Candy. It will also be adapted into an HBO series starring Elizabeth Olsen and Jesse Plemmons next spring. <br /><br />What is so unusual about a murder in 1980 (which was also adapted into a 1990 TV movie starring our forever “old man crush” Brian Dennehy, A Killing in a Small Town) that captures our imagination? Let’s see if we can figure that out today. <br />Trigger Warnings: Murder<br />Sources:<br />Candy: A Death in Texas<br />Candy Montgomery Wikipedia<br />Texas Monthly: Jim Atkinson & John Bloom<br />Oxygen Snapped<br />UPI 1980<br />History Vs.
