Saturday night’s Lifetime Original Movie, The Girl Who Wasn’t Dead, is inspired by true events and centres around the mysterious disappearance of 15-year-old Erica (portrayed by Emma Tremblay) and her unexpected reappearance three years later. Authorities and Erica’s mother, Carrie (Lydnsey Fonseca), initially suspected that she had fallen victim to a local serial killer. However, the truth was far stranger.
When Erica vanished, it sparked a wave of concern, and many believed she had met a grim fate. Yet, in a surprising twist, she reappeared during her murder trial, revealing that she had been living in secrecy with her 21-year-old boyfriend, Andrew (Kyle Clark), less than a mile from her mother’s house. Erica had chosen to run away and live a secluded life, hidden from those who knew her, including her mother, due to their disapproval of her relationship.
The Girl Who Wasn’t Dead premieres on Lifetime on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at 8:00 PM.
