At the time, the murders grabbed headlines for the way they revealed a web of affairs, hired killers and other pre-Desperate Housewives titillations.

Read up in this Time.com article about the couples' death–featuring the hacky “Orange County Confidential” headline– so that you can check the facts when you watch the show, waiting for the killer to be finally revealed as an illegal immigrant choir boy Nobel laureate police officer. Wait, one of those things does not belong!
