Is 12 Desperate Hours based on a true story?

12 Desperate Hours is based on one of the stories told by prolific true crime author Ann Rule; her work also served as the basis for last week’s Lifetime movie, A Rose for Her Grave: The Randy Roth Story. 12 Desperate Hours is one of the stories featured in Rule’s true crime anthology Last Dance, Last Chance.

Rule’s story “The Desperate Hours” takes place in Kent, Washington in 1963. In the story as told by Rule, a man named Denny Tuohmy strangled his ex-girlfriend’s mother after blaming the breakup on her. He then shot his best friend Fritz Donohue dead to steal his car. When the car didn’t start, Tuohmy broke into the house of Patricia Jacque — a mother of three — and kidnapped her. Tuohmy forced Jacque to drive him to his brother’s house. When Tuohmy’s brother refused to help,Tuohmy forced Jacque to keep driving until police intervention put a stop to the situation.

Ann Rule’s story was adapted into the Lifetime movie 12 Desperate Hours, which updated the setting and some of the names.

However, Rule’s story was also an adaptation of sorts in that the murderer / kidnapper’s name was changed. If you search newspaper archives, you’ll find that the real criminal’s name was Gary Lee Quinlivan, who was — at the time of the crime — a 29-year-old laborer in Seattle. The crime spree was committed on December 20, 1963. In the case of his friend Fred “Fritz” Donahue, he claimed that a rifle went off accidentally and killed him. Quinlivan was charged with two counts of first degree murder, one for his girlfriend’s mother Gladys Bodine and another for Fred Donahue. Quinlivan was sentenced to death in 1971 after being convicted of first-degree murder (Donahue), second-degree murder (Bodine), and kidnapping (Jacque). However, according to Rule’s story, his sentence was commuted to life in prison and he was paroled in 1991. Quinlivan died on August 21, 2011.
