"I Didn't Kill My Sister" (a.k.a, "Murder Unresolved") is a story about two sisters so alike and so different. Yet there is a deep bond between Carmen Campbell and her younger sister Heather Pearson that endures long after the violent death of Carmen.

In the City View newscast, Carmen was a superstar alongside her dashing husband Mason Campbell. The team had vowed to continue their partnership on air even through a bitter divorce. Then, the unthinkable happened when Carmen was discovered floating in her swimming pool by her daughter Brooke and her sister Heather.

The film was routine in an odd assortment of forgettable secondary characters. The scenes at the news studio were sluggish, and the filmmakers introduced Seth, an addiction counselor at the Compassion Substance Abuse Center as a plot device to provide the clincher to Heather about who murdered her sister.

It was also never very convincing that Heather would be a suspect in the case. The detective was unconvincingly suspicious due to the lack any physical evidence. Young Brooke always seems to be on the verge of nervous breakdown. The sleazy attorney Sandra Conroy first tells Heather than she cannot represent her while Mason is her client. But we are then expected to believe that Heather would confide in Sandra anyway.

The most intriguing character was Heather, who was an aspiring news broadcaster herself. It was clear at the outset that the sensitive Heather was not jealous of her older sibling. To the contrary, she was loyal to Carmen while she lived, and she honored her memory in death. The bond of two sisters knows no bounds.
