What happens

Willing to Kill: The Texas Cheerleader Story is a 1992 American television film directed by David Greene. It stars Lesley Ann Warren and Tess Harper. It was nominated for a Young Artist Award in 1993. It preceded, but was ultimately overshadowed by, the bigger-budgeted and more star-powered version of the "true story", The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom.
