What happens

Torso: The Evelyn Dick Story is a 2002 Canadian made-for-television crime thriller film directed by Alex Chapple and starring Kathleen Robertson. It is based on the 1946/1947 murder trial of Evelyn Dick that remains a lurid murder case in Canadian history. After children find only the torso of her missing husband, John, Evelyn is arrested for his murder. The film was originally scheduled to be aired on September 11, 2001, but was delayed until March 18, 2002 due to the terrorist attacks on the original air date. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
