Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I a ia e tatari ana ki tana whiunga i roto i te ruma mate e ono ki te waru whatianga te rahi, e whakapono ana a Christian Longo kāore e taea e ia te utu mo ana mahi kino. I whakawakia te matua o nga tamariki tokotoru ki te mate mo te kohuru i tana whanau, ka whakakii i a raatau ki roto i nga putea ka maka o raatau tinana ki nga kokonga takutai moana i Oregon i te Tihema 2001 ki te 'whakakahoretia i nga here o te oranga o te kaainga'. Kātahi ka haere ia ki tētahi hararei inu waipiro ki te wāhi whakangahau o Cancun, Mexico, i reira ia i whakatū ai hei kairipoata whakama o New York Times - i mua i tana hopu e te FBI, ka hopukina, ka whakawakia. Inaianei kua puta mai he kiriata e pā ana ki tōna oranga, True Story, ko James Franco me Jonah Hill ngā kaiwhakaari, ā, kua kōrero mai te kaipatu kino i muri i ngā here. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Christian Longo, nana i patu tana wahine me ana tamariki tokotoru i Oregon i te tau 2001 i mua i tana haerenga ki Mexico i te waipiro, e whakapono ana ia kaore e taea te utu mo ana mahi kino. I whakaahuatia ia i tana whakaaturanga i mua i tana whiunga mate. Kua tukuna he kiriata mo tona oranga e whakaatuhia ana e Jonah Hill hei kairipoata o mua o New York Times a Mike Finkel (taha maui). Ko James Franco (matau) te kaiwhakaari o te kohuru. I te tuhi reta ki te iwi mai i te whare herehere o Oregon State i Salem, e kii ana ia ko te hara he 'wahi nui o taku nohoanga o ia ra, ko te mea pono i hangaia ai aku moemoea moemoea katoa. Engari e mōhio ana au kāore e taea e au te mahi i tētahi mea i tēnei wā, haunga te whakamātau ki te ora i runga i te aronga pai ka taea, me te whakaaro kāore au e tika ana ki ngā manawa ka taea e au te tango... Kaore au i te whakaaro ka taea te whakahoki mai i ahau. 'E whakapono ana ahau he kino rawa ētahi mahi, ā, kāore he mea e taea e tētahi mea te utu mō rātau.' I tīmata te take ki te mārama i te kitenga o te tinana o te tama a Longo, a Zachary, e whā tau te pakeke, i te 19 o Tihema, 2001. I herea he kopare ki te toka ki tona waewae. I kitea tana tuahine, a Sadie, e toru ona tau, e toru nga ra i muri mai. Kātahi ka kitea ngā toenga o tana wahine, o Mary Jane, 34, me tētahi tuatoru o ōna tuakana, o Madison, tokorua i te 27 o Hakihea. I kitea te tokorua nei i roto i tētahi kete e taumahatia ana e ngā dumbbells. I te kitenga o ngā tinana...
Kua tuhia e Christian Longo he reta ki te iwi mai i tana ruma mate. E whakapono ana 'he kino rawa ētahi mahi e kore e taea e tētahi mea te utu i a rātou' I te tau 2001 i patua e ia tōna whānau, i whakanohoia ki roto i ngā kete, ā, i maka ki te pungawerewere. E toru ngā tamariki me tana wahine a Mary Jane i kitea e ngā kaihopu pirihimana. I whai te FBI i a ia ki Cancun i reira ia i noho tahi ai me tētahi wahine Tiamana. I whakapakari i a ia hei kairipoata whakama o te New York Times a Michael Finkel. I kawea ia ki te whenua o Amerika, ā, i whakawātia ia ki te mate i te mutunga o te whakawakanga o te marama. Kua puta te pikitia a Jonah Hill rāua ko James Franco e pā ana ki tōna hononga ki te kairipoata.
