A Lifetime Original movie inspired by true events, The Girl Who Wasn’t Dead tells the story of 15-year-old Erica (Emma Tremblay) who vanishes without a trace. Authorities believed Erica may be the victim of a local serial killer, but her mother, Carrie (Lydnsey Fonseca) refused to believe the worst. In an incredible turn of events, Erica emerges from the shadows at her own murder trial, three years after her disappearance. Erica wasn’t abducted, but had run away and chosen to live in seclusion with her 21-year-old boyfriend, Andrew (Kyle Clark), less than a mile from her mother’s house. Banned from seeing her older boyfriend, Erica chose to spend her teenage years hiding from visitors and concealed behind drawn curtains.
