Rivals

Laurie Show was a naive and trusting 16-year-old girl (Jennifer Finnigan), that became entangled in the lives of Lisa Michelle Lambert (Marnette Patterson) and her boyfriend Lawrence Yunkin (Rel Hunt). Laurie was initially befriended by Michelle, who later turned on her after Laurie was raped by Lawrence. Believing that Laurie was lying about the rape and that she had pursued Lawrence, Michelle began harassing and stalking Laurie, often with the assistance of friends. This harassment culminated in Michelle murdering Laurie in her home with the help of her friend Tabitha Buck (Joanne Vannicola). Laurie's mother (Mary-Margaret Humes) discovered the body and Michelle, Lawrence, and Tabitha were quickly arrested. Lawrence pleaded guilty and testified against the other two girls in exchange for a reduced sentence, with Michelle and Tabitha receiving life sentences without parole.
