Here's how the cast of Hulu's 'Candy' compares to the real-life people they're portraying

Montgomery seemed to have it all — she appeared to have a happy family life with her husband Pat and their two children, and her bubbly personality made her popular among the other congregants at her local church.

But in 1980, after Betty Gore was killed with an ax, Montgomery quickly became the main suspect, and it came to light that she and Gore's husband Allan had been having an affair.

After a highly-publicized trial, however, Montgomery was acquitted by a jury.

Gore and Montgomery were reportedly friends before Gore found out about the affair, and Montgomery even threw a surprise baby shower for Gore during her second pregnancy.

Gore was on a business trip at the time of his wife's death and later revealed to investigators that he and Montgomery had been having an affair.

Pat Montgomery worked as an engineer at Texas Instruments, but the family reportedly left the state after Candy's trial.

Crowder also belonged to the same church as the Montgomery and Gore families, and later represented Montgomery in her murder trial.
