From Unsolved Mysteries to Hollywood: The Jeepers Creepers Murder Case
When a couple's quiet Sunday drive turned into a terrifying chase on a Michigan backroad in 1990, they had no idea they'd just witnessed the aftermath of murder. This is the story of Marilynn DePue, a high school guidance counselor who tried to escape an abusive marriage, and how her death became the unlikely inspiration for a horror movie that millions of people have watched without knowing the real woman behind the story. We're talking domestic violence, a year-long manhunt, the power of 90s true crime TV, and how Hollywood turned a real tragedy into the monster movie Jeepers Creepers. But most importantly, we're talking about a mom who deserved so much better than how her story ended up being remembered.
