First off there's a lot that doesn't meet with real life in this one. The boy with a record wouldn't have been allowed to work as a security guard anywhere. The policeman brother would have not been allowed to do anything on the case because it involved a family member. The boy would have been locked up in jail for the murder charges. The mother should have filed a complaint against the policeman brother with his commanding officer. The policeman brother would be under investigation by internal affairs and possibly suspended from duty. The movie would have a more believable plot!! I can think of more, but mainly I'm sitting here thinking about fast forwarding to the end. By the way, I do like Lindsay Hartley so started it because she's in it!!

First off, she did not hand the gun to him. He yelled at her and grabbed at it. That could easily be used as evidence that she is not an accomplice along with the fact that she called 911.

A judge would not have let a killer out on bail that has a violent criminal history. He would have been considered a danger to society.

How does a body float down a river if it is chained to a brick. I don't think so, if they were not found immediately because of the brick then they would have been considered escaped convicts. As soon as they didn't find a body that is an escaped fugitive from law, the Marshal service would have taken over not his brother and fellow police officers. With the tape missing the jump and no bodies the Marshal service would have looked for him and investigated his brother.

once again the victim knocks a bad guy down and instead of continuously hitting them or taking their weapon they run away. I would prefer if producers would start taking a bat to writers heads anytime they write that garbage.

One last thing, the beginning of the movie she tries to get the daughter to come home with her and of course the daughter doesn't. The moron harassed the mother and asked for a 3 way. All the mother had to do is tell the daughter that and she would have gone home with her.

A super annoying girl with depressive issues can't stay away from this nasty piece of work Boyfriend. To the consternation of her mom and her stepfather she still loves him even after he kills someone in a road rage incident. By this time you think the girl deserves to be institutionalised but there is worse to come. The irritating young couple fake a suicide to disappear. Well, mom sets out to get her back because she thinks it is a fake suicide. But she isn't worth it.

Surprisingly it's quite watchable in the sense you want to see how things turn out.

***SPOILERS*** They were young and in love but not all there in the head especially the girl Emily Yates, Paloma Kwiatkowski, as they decided to take a lovers leap off the bridge and end it all as we see at the start of the film. Why did these two young persons Gary Smith, Jedidiah Goodacre, and his 16 year old girlfriend Emily with everything to live for do themselves in at such a young age? The reason is simple in that because all they had to look forward to in life was for was a long stretch behind bars in a road rage murder and assisted murder conviction waiting for them back home in court!

It's Emily's mom Jill Yates, Lindsay Hartley who refuses to accept her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend Gary's death and since the bodies were never recovered Jill feels that they faked their suicides and planned to start a new lives together somewhere in the "Sky Country" of Montana as husband & wife raising and selling cattle to the public! As Jill soon finds out she was half right in her assumptions. With the help of private investigator Al Jennings, Jay Brazeau, Jill finds out that it was bad boy Gary who not only planned the whole thing but is holding Emily hostage by keeping her comatose and off her meds to get Jill not to only put out for him, Gary has this thing about older women, but pay him some 25 grand as ransom.

***SPOILERS*** With her wimpy and scared of his own shadow but well built, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, 6 foot 4 inch 230 pound live in boyfriend Connor, Dan Payne, not willing to do anything but leave it to the out of touch local police who by now dropped the case. Jill goes on her own to save her daughter Emily risking both her and her daughters lives whom Gary and his brother a member of the police department Ritchie, James Pizzinato, are planning to murder if she doesn't come through with their demands.

Gary despite being a 1st class mountain man gets himself together with his brother Ritchie lost in the woods trying to track down Jill and her daughter Emily who escaped from his confinement and trying to get back to civilization. Being a poor shot Gary guns down Ritchie, who looks nothing like the two women he's chasing, by mistake and then finishes him off to keep Ritchie from spending the rest of his life, when he's caught, behind bars with every convict there looking to get a piece, in Ritchie being an ex-policeman, of him. As for Gary he ends up like he started at the beginning of the movie in trying to fake his death by falling off a cliff to his death, after Jill whacked him, and this time cracking his skull on the rocks below!

A daughter is taken away from a mother by a young man who has to have had the worst upbringing imaginable. Gary is crude, rude, and violent. He also has quite the imagination when it comes to conning people, including his family members that include a police sergeant.

The brother-policeman named Ritchie is also a piece of work. During the memorial service for Gary, who has just been convicted of second-degree murder, Ritchie gives a testimonial to "a great guy." The mother of Gary and Ritchie also does not get passing grades for the way she raised them in the trailer park.

As appropriate for a Lifetime film "A Mother's Suspicion" (a.k.a., "Dying to Be Loved"), the focus is on Jill Yates, the courageous mother who is trying to protect her daughter Emily from the clutches of Gary. Emily had a rough upbringing due to a lout of a father who deserted her, culminating in her bouts of depression and an attempt on her life.

Jill has met a new and good man, Corey, and they are engaged. While passive and never showing much emotion, Corey is nonetheless an improvement on husband #1. Jill recognizes right away that Gary is bad news, asserting that they all are living in a "slow-motion train wreck." That turns out to be an understatement in the devious machinations of a psychopath and boyfriend out of hell.

But Jill Yates will prove to have the resilience, tenacity, and courage lacking in the local police force as she pursues her daughter. The love of a mother will triumph over all adversity, especially the incompetent police force.

A lot of plot twists in this absorbing Lifetime film. An emotionally unbalanced teenager suffering from depression finds a boyfriend who is even more off-the-wall than she is.

Her mother, an attorney, is living with a guy who she hopes to wed shortly.

Gary, the girl's boyfriend, reacts to a road rage incident by shooting to death the guy in the other car and he is convicted of murder. How he was allowed to stay out of jail until sentencing was the one major flaw to me in this engrossing film.

Gary and his depressed girlfriend supposedly jump off a bridge to their deaths, but her mother, the attorney, has her doubts and hires a private investigator to pursue the matter. The results are more than what anyone bargained for. Gary's brother is a police officer but turns out to be up to his neck in this engrossing thriller.

Connor, the mother's boyfriend didn't exactly do the greatest of acting here.
