Landscape Suicide 1988

The film recounts, and parallels, two murders that took place thirty years apart: Bernadette Protti's stabbing of a high school friend Kirsten Costas in Northern California in early 1984, and the infamous double homicide and taxidermies committed by Ed Gein in Northern Wisconsin three decades prior.

Jeannette and Sister Virginia Varela look like twins! Yeah the sister whose knife killed Kirsten.

Jeannette aka Bernadette looks just like her banker sister Virginia Varela. Virginia testified that she used a large knife in her car to cut veggies. If that's true how do these people live with themselves? 

In my opinion she perjured herself. I do not believe it was her knife, I feel she was covering for her sister so the prosecution couldn't charge Bernadette with first degree premeditated murder. If she was found guilty of that maybe she would still be in jail. 

I truly believe she planned to kill Kirsten. And thought she would get away with it. 

Jeannette Tomanka's quote of the day

'Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what could be' 

Great mantra for a killer. Let's all forget you viciously and violently killed a child. Yeah easier said than done.
