I just watched ALLELUIA, the recent movie by Fabrice du Welz. which is based on the story of Martha and Fernandez (!) and which fascinated me that much that I googled Martha Beck and arrived here. The movie to me covers the subject very well and Lola Duenas is great as ‘Martha’, though not carrying her weight. This is not needed. It is indeed about the psychology (the psychological weight) of this couple that starts murdering because they became a couple indeed (it is the idea I also got, even by just watching the movie Stacey, am curious how you yourself covered the story.

In reply to timothy carlson.

Yes, it would definitely be the same murders. Dolphine’s story is the saddest of all, in my opinion. The movie is called Lonely Hearts and starred John Travolta.

I was wondering what the name of the movie was regarding these murders. I am a distant relative of Delphine Downing and my grandmother asked me to see if I could find out the name of the movie as she would like to see it. I have some of the newspaper articles about the murders. So I’m sure this is the same “lonely hearts” murders.

In reply to Stacy Green. My friend Andrew said Martha was married to his mom's brother at one time his last name was Beck. We live in Milton and she is buried a half mile from my house and the home she grew up in which is a couple blocks away from me.

In reply to Stacy Green. I live two blocks from the house Martha Beck Grew up in and I stopped by and looked in windows and took pics of the house no one is living there at this time but it looked as if someone is trying to fix it up.

In reply to UnrestrainedFancy. Yes, it really is. They were both victims, and I'm not sure Fernandez would have been a killer without Martha. And I don't think she would have been a criminal without him. You're very welcome, and thanks for the comment.

Such a sad and frightening story. Both were victims themselves, but it could never excuse what they became. Thank you for the interesting post.
