Deep Family Secrets is a 1997 American drama television film directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman,[2] that first aired on April 15, 1997 on the CBS television network.

The film is based on the true story of Gaylynn Morris, who was found guilty for the murder of his wife Ruby Morris, after Ruby disappeared in 1989.[3][4] The names were changed to Clay and Renee Chadway in the television movie.[3]

Plot[]

Renee has just surprised her husband, Clay, with her younger sister, Ellen, while they are at a restaurant. This impromptu meeting persuades her that her husband is cheating on her. Devastated, Renee returns home, hesitating to talk to her husband. Soon after, Renee disappears, mysteriously.

JoAnne, the couple's young daughter, does not know what to think of all these events and does not take long to bring back stories that had until then been carefully kept secret. Clay soon appears as the prime suspect in Renee's disappearance. Was she kidnapped or is it a murder?
