A bloody footprint at the crime scene led investigators to charge Candace Montgomery who surprisingly received wholehearted support from the church after being released on bail

Elisabeth Moss's repertoire of television dramas is stunning, to say the least. The 37-year-old has turned out for roles in some of the most-lauded and critically acclaimed dramas this side of the 21st century, including 'The West Wing,' 'Mad Men,' and of course, 'The Handmaid's Tale'. She will soon be adding to that list with a new limited series from UCP tentatively titled 'Candy' which will follow the true story of a 28-year-old Texas housewife named Candace Montgomery who "seemingly had it all" before brutally killing her friend and fellow church parishioner. It's a story that many can't wrap their heads around even to this day; one involving betrayal of the highest order from a woman many would have told you was not even capable of hurting a fly but would go on to wield an ax with terrifying and deadly accuracy.
On the night of June 13, 1980, residents in a quaint corner of eastern Collin County were met with a scene they could not comprehend. The lifeless body of Betty Gore lay sprawled across the utility room of her home with every object around her coated with a paint of blood. A few feet away from her was the murder weapon: a heavy-handled, three-foot-long ax. Investigators knew almost immediately Montogomery was the culprit but found it hard to believe someone as small as she had the physical strength to wreak such carnage, reported Texas Monthy. As they looked into the relationship between Montogomery and Gore, they uncovered a motive and unraveled a complex dynamic between the two women that explained how a run-of-the-mill suburban housewife that everyone knew as a loving mother and devoted wife could sink to such depravity.
The two had become best friends after they were brought together by the Methodist Church of Lucas, a town that provided an escape for its residents from the havoc that was nearby Dallas. Montogomery had moved to her dream house there in 1977 with a hope of starting anew and her plan seemed to be trudging along pretty well. All that changed at a volleyball game at church in 1978, when Montgomery and Gore's husband, Allan, collided as they tried to play the same ball. While it was a pretty inconspicuous bump, Montgomery thought he "smelled sexy," and in the weeks that followed, told friends about wanting to have an affair to shake up her "very boring" life. While Allan did not seem like the type of man she wanted to fool around with initially -- he had a receding hairline, dressed blandly, and was developing a stomach -- the pair quickly realized that they both had some feelings for each other.
What started as innocent flirting at church and other social events eventually blossomed into something more when, after a night of choir practice, Montogomery confessed she wanted to have sex with him. The confession caused Allan to re-evaluate his marriage, which, like any other, had its problems. After a few weeks of wrestling with the idea because he did not want to entertain the thought of hurting his wife, Allan caved. On Montogomery's 29th birthday, he invited her out to McKinney for lunch, following which they started meticulously planning their affair so everyone else would be none the wiser. December 12, 1978, was the day they took the plunge. They arranged for a date at the Continental Inn on Central Expressway, and never looked back. For the next few months, every two weeks, like clockwork, they had sex.
But as Gore neared her due date -- she had been pregnant the entire duration of the affair -- the meetings grew more infrequent. After giving birth, she and Allan attended a marriage counseling session to work over their problems, which, in turn, resulted at the end of the latter's relationship with Montogomery. While he and Montogomery were on friendly terms afterward, he had little idea of the darkness that was brewing inside her that would spill out on Friday the 13th in June 1980 while he was away for a business trip. Montgomery, who was babysitting Allan's older daughter Alisa, had murdered Gore in cold blood while their infant daughter slept in the next room. When Allan called to raise concerns because his wife was not answering her phone, Montogomery insisted everything was okay and that she had seemed fine when she saw her earlier the same day.
A bloody footprint at the scene of the crime and Allan's confession of their affair led investigators to charge Montogomery with murder. However, she was released on bail and, surprisingly, received wholehearted support from the church. During her trial, she hired Dr Fred Fason, a psychiatrist and clinical hypnotist, who, after a few hypnosis sessions, determined she was suffering from deep-rooted childhood trauma that had triggered immense rage within her as an adult. She told the court that Gore had confronted her about her affair with Allan on the morning of the death and that she only retaliated her in self-defense after Gore attacked her with the murder weapon. Though the claim went against physical evidence as Gore had suffered 41 ax wounds, Montgomery was still found not guilty.
Moss, who can boast of a Golden Globe for Best Actress - Miniseries or Television Film for 'Top of the Lake' and a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for 'The Handmaid's Tale,' will have her work cut out for her 'Candy' but she's not one to shy away from a challenge. "I have been wanting to play an anti-heroine for a while now and have been trying to work with Robin [Veitch] again after ‘Mad Men’ for even longer, so when she asked me if I wanted to play a housewife from Texas who, some would say, got away with murder, I simply said, ‘Where do I sign?’" she said. "Adding the opportunity to work with Nick [Antosca] after his incredible work on ‘The Act’ was like taking a delicious dessert and putting 100 cherries on top."

Hulu's new drama " Candy " portrays the real-life story of Candy Montgomery, a Texas housewife.
Montgomery was accused of killing her friend Betty Gore with an ax in 1980, but later acquitted.
The whereabouts of the real-life Montgomery today are largely unknown, but some reports say she moved to Georgia.
Hulu's new drama " Candy " tells the story of Candy Montgomery , a seemingly well-adjusted Texas housewife with a husband and two children who was accused of killing her friend Betty Gore with an ax in 1980 and later acquitted by a jury.
Two Texas Monthly articles published in 1984 revealed that Montgomery had been having an affair with Gore's husband, Allan , as a result of her own sexually unsatisfying marriage. But when Gore confronted Montgomery about the affair in June 1980, a violent struggle ensued, leaving Gore (also a mother of two) dead — and with 41 ax wounds on her body .
In the new Hulu show, Jessica Biel stars as Montgomery , while Melanie Lynskey plays Gore. Pablo Schreiber and Timothy Simons appear as Allan Gore and Montgomery's husband, Pat, respectively.
Fans of the series may be wondering what happened to the real-life Montgomery after her acquittal and what became of Gore's two children after her death. On the heels of the "Candy" finale on Friday, here's what we know about the whereabouts of Gore's children and Montgomery today.
After Gore's body was discovered in the suburban home she shared with her husband —with their infant in a crib upstairs, unharmed— investigators soon turned their attention to Montgomery, and subsequently charged the housewife with Gore's death.
However, Texas Monthly reported that during the trial, Montgomery's legal team (which included a fellow member of her church, Don Crowder) suggested that she killed Gore in self-defense . The defense said that when Montgomery arrived at the home, Gore confronted Montgomery about the affair, and then brought out an ax. During a violent struggle, Gore told Montgomery to "shush," which the defense team claimed inadvertently triggered a deadly dissociative episode rooted in Montgomery's childhood trauma. Montgomery then "came to" after Gore was already dead.
Per Texas Monthly, the defense's explanation of events came about after Montgomery was hypnotized by a psychiatrist , who "uncovered" the tragic events of that day as well as Montgomery's hidden trauma. A jury later found Montgomery not guilty of Gore's death , and she was acquitted on all charges.
According to reports from outlets including Buzzfeed News, Montgomery and her family left Texas after the trial and moved to Georgia, but little is known about their whereabouts today. Some reports also suggest that Montgomery and her husband later divorced and that she now goes by her maiden name.
As for Gore's children, they moved to Kansas to be cared for by Gore's parents, and Allan Gore subsequently remarried, per Buzzfeed News . A member of Gore's family recently told the publication that Gore's children are now "happy and successful" in their adult lives, but have no interest in speaking about their mother's death.

If you’ve seen the first few episodes of Candy on Hulu, you may be wondering: Why did Candy Montgomery kill Betty Gore and was her motive to murder her best friend? It was more than her affair with Betty’s husband.
Candy is based on the 2018 true-crime book, Evidence of Love , which investigates the real-life case of Candy Montomgery, a housewife who was accused of murdering her close friend, Betty Gore, in Wylie, Texas, on June 13, 1980, after having an extramarital affair with Betty’s husband, Allan Gore. Candy—who lived by the Gores with her husband, Pat Montgomery, and their two children—was accused of assaulting Betty 41 times with a three-foot ax. In an interview with Pop Culture , Jessica Biel, who stars as Candy and also executive produces the series, revealed why she wanted to play the character. “[Candy is] such a fascinating person, and the story is just too crazy to be real almost, is what it feels like to me,” Biel said. “But I just love the pathology of a character like that. And I’m just interested in humans, and why they do the things that they do. I always think like, ‘Wow, we’re all capable of anything.'” She continued, “I like to put myself right at the edge there and look over and [ask], ‘Am I capable of this?’ Those are the questions that I’m always asking myself specifically with a project like this.”
Biel also explained to E! News about how she can relate to Candy, despite her character’s alleged crimes. “As we started to get into it and started to really understand who these characters are, just the pathology of what it was like to be a woman back then in the ’80s, I think I was really able to empathize with these women,” she said. “I could see myself struggling with some of the same issues that they’re struggling with.” She continued, “The pressure of being a woman and trying to do it all with a smile on your face, family pressures and work pressures and everything. I feel that.”
In an interview with Pop Culture, Melanie Lynskey, who plays Betty, explained how she wanted to do Betty justice with her performance in Candy . “I loved all the little moments where they just show the mundanity of the suburban life that these women were leading and how much was placed on their shoulders – how much they had to do every single day, how exhausted they both were and how [we] slowly get to know both of them,” she said. “Then, it all culminates at the end of the show in this way that’s so shocking.”
She continued, “I wanted to make sure her story was told in the fullest way possible. That you got an understanding of the fact that she was a woman who was really struggling and had absolutely no help in any respect and just the loneliness of that – of being somebody who needed help and was getting it from nowhere in the time when everyone was supposed to just be like, ‘Ooh, I got married, so that’s the rest of my life set.'”
So… why did Candy Montgomery kill Betty Gore and what was the reason for her murder? Read on for the motive that was revealed in the trial for why Candy Montgomery killed Betty Gore and whether Candy went to jail for her best friend’s death.
How did Candy Montgomery kill Betty Gore? Candy, whose full name is Candice Wheeler, killed Betty, her close friend, in their hometown of Wylie, Texas, on June 13, 1980. On the day of the murder, Candy visited Betty’s home to pick up a swimsuit for Betty’s daughter, Alisa, who was staying with Candy and her husband, Pat, for the night, Candy claimed in a hypnosis session with psychiatrist Dr. Fred Fason, according to Texas Monthly . While at Betty’s home, Betty accused Candy of having an affair with her husband, Allan, which Candy confessed to and told Betty that the infidelity happened a “long time ago.” According to Candy, Betty then left the room and came back with an ax, which she used to threaten Candy with to never see Allan again, which Candy agreed to.
