An heiress to the Scripps newspaper fortune, Anne Scripps had a privileged upbringing. When her first marriage ended in divorce she quickly met and married a new man, a house painter named Scott Douglas who was nine years younger than Anne. All Anne wanted was the simple life of a suburban housewife, doting on her children and giving them the warmth and love that she didn’t receive in her own childhood. But her new marriage quickly turned into a nightmare, with a tragic outcome that would reverberate for years to come.
