Question: is river's edge a true story?
Answer: “River's Edge” is, as they say, “loosely based” on the strangulation murder of 14-year-old Marcy Conrad by Anthony Jacques Broussard, then a 16-year-old student at Milpitas High School. After Broussard choked Marcy to death, he tossed her body in the back of his pick-up truck and dumped it in the hills.
