SHOWS SUCH AS Bad Vegan, The Tinder Swindler and The Puppet Master have become worldwide hits with their almost unbelievable tales. To that list we can now add Murder Of A Jewish American Princess, an upcoming true crime series based on a shocking murder lifted straight from newspaper headlines.

Based on Shirley Frondorf’s non-fiction book, Death Of A Jewish American Princess: The True Story Of A Victim On Trial, the new series will explore the true story of the 1981 killing of Elana Steinberg at the hands of her husband in Scottsdale, Arizona, and the sensational murder trial that followed.

The project has been developed by journalist and author Cari Lynn, who penned the pilot, and Tom Mazza’s Everywhere Studios. According to the official description from the duo, the new series will recount the brutal murder of Elana Steinberg, who was “labelled in the courtroom and the media as the quintessential ‘Jewish American Princess’”.
