I am trying to find out the name of a film I remember watching late at night on the BBC during the eighties. It might have been an American TV movie but I'm not really sure. I can remember that someone was drowning in a river/lake as the opening credits rolled (but it wasn't Don't Look Now!)
It was a murder mystery movie along the lines of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew and I'm pretty certain that it had a bloke's name in the title, something like The Life and Murder of Peter Parker etc.
I had an inkling that Peter Coyote might have starred in it but after looking through his film credits on Wikipedia/IMDB he clearly wasn't. Maybe it was a similar American actor? Anyway, I know this all sounds a bit vague but it's all I remember!
