Romance and True-Crime TV for V-Day
Valentine's Day rapidly approaches, and what better way to celebrate it than with the touching story of Peter and Rinette?
They were a happy couple who seemed to have it all. Money, good careers, house in Tahoe. A favorite romantic spot that boasted a great view of the Reno lights. . . and a 1,000 ft sheer vertical drop.
Rinette was killed instantly when their brand-new F-150 plunged to the bottom of the rocky hillside; Peter survived, near the top. It seemed he had been "miraculously" thrown out of the vehicle as it blasted through the heavy guardrail. He blamed brake failure.
But a few months later, after the insurance settlements came in, he bought an identical new F-150.
"Over the Edge" premieres Wed. night at 10ET on Court TV. . .
