Prosecutors say Stripper Mechele Linehan Followed Movie Plot to Kill Fiance

A murder case in Alaska is the forum for a real-life drama that ended in the killing of stripper Mechele Linehan's fiance at the time.

Mechele Linehan is on trial for masterminding the murder, where prosecutors say Linehan followed the plot in the film "The Last Seduction," where a female character talked her lover into murdering her husband for cash. Prosecutors claim Linehan was obsessed with the film and followed the script to the end, including the murder of 36-year-old fisherman Kent Leppink.

Prosecutors also say the motive for the murder was the life insurance policy of Leppink, which was for $1 million. What she didn't know is Leppink was suspicious and made his parents the beneficiaries only days before he was murdered.

Leppink's body was discovered on the ground by utility workers, having been shot three times with a .44 Magnum.

Actress Linda Fiorentino, who played the role of the femme fatale in the film said, "Isn't it unbelievable? I'm a little shaken up by it."

John Carlin III, who was another fiance of Linehan's, was convicted of murdering Leppink in April.

The case broke when Carlin's son gave testimony that he had seen his dad wash the murder weapon with bleach in a sink while Lineman looked on. He wasn't able to testify originally because he was underage at the time, and wasn't allowed to be his father.
