• 'A Husband to Die For: The Lisa Aguilar Story' is based on a true story, with the real Lisa Aguilar consulting on the film to ensure its authenticity. Jon McLaren plays the character of Darren West, and is inspired by a real man who nearly killed his wife while she was eight months pregnant. According to reports, in April 1994, Darren West attacked his then-wife, stabbing her more than fifty times while wearing a gorilla mask to hide his identity. However, he failed to remove identifiable items like his T-shirt, watch, and shoes, which ultimately allowed his wife to recognize him and led to his arrest.

• Lisa Aguilar testified seventeen times at parole hearings to keep her ex-husband in prison after he pled guilty to attempted murder.
