'Murder Ordained' is a television film that originally aired for CBS in 1987, starring Keith Carradine, JoBeth Williams, and Kathy Bates. It was co-written and directed by Mike Robe. Based on actual events that occurred in Emporia, Kansas, in 1983, the film tells the story of State Trooper John Rule (Carradine), who investigates what appears to be a traffic accident resulting in the death of a local minister's wife. His investigation leads him to believe foul play was involved. Much of the principal photography and filming occurred on location in Kansas, and some of the dialogue comes directly from court transcripts.[https://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/05/arts/keith-carradine-stars-in-murder-ordained.html?pagewanted=2&src=pm KEITH CARRADINE STARS IN 'MURDER ORDAINED' Page 2 New York Times]
