Plot Synopsis

THE FATAL ATTRACTION MURDER is a two-part, three-hour documentary that explores the murder of Betty Jeanne Solomon, a case that drew comparisons to the hit 1987 erotic thriller FATAL ATTRACTION. When Carolyn Warmus was tried for killing her lover's wife, Betty Jeanne Solomon, the unapologetic, attractive, young elementary school teacher from a wealthy family was named "The Fatal Attraction Killer" by the press. The moniker, borrowed from the popular film due to the stunning similarities between the movie and the trial, was a label Warmus couldn't shake. The story of an affair that seemingly led to murder was a sensation, quickly garnering front-page news status and relentless coverage across television. Reporters from around the world descended on Westchester County to scrutinize every word of testimony, every nuance of Warmus' body language and every detail of her wardrobe. The two-parter features an exclusive interview with Carolyn Warmus, as well as the Greenburgh PD investigator who worked the case from beginning to end; Westchester County, New York prosecutors; jurors and reporters who covered the story first hand. All reveal what they thought about the case then and how they view it now. THE FATAL ATTRACTION MURDER aired at 8pm ET/PT on Oxygen on consecutive nights: Saturday, March 26 (8-10pm) and Sunday, March 27, 2022 (8-9pm).
