TVMovie #9: The Case of the
Lady in the Lake
Original Airdate: 5/15/88

Summary Edit

Sara Wingate-Travis has been brooding, even suicidal, over her twin sister Amy, who was kidnapped and disappeared without a trace and was assumed drowned in the lake 15 years ago. While reliving fond memories about Amy at the lake early one morning, Sara has a physical altercation with an old jealous girlfriend of her husband. Very shortly thereafter Sara goes missing (much like Any did). Her husband, a former tennis player, is charged with murder. Perry defends Mr. Travis against the charges.
