New Chapter in Hartman Tragedy
The clan is zeroing in on a popular prescription anti-depressant as the culprit behind Brynn Hartman's sudden murderous bent, tonight's 20/20 reports. Lawyer Andrew Vicary tells the ABC newsmagazine that he is preparing a lawsuit on behalf of the family against the manufacturer of Zoloft.
An autopsy showed traces of Zoloft as well as cocaine and alcohol in Brynn Hartman's system.
To the Hartman camp, it's Zoloft--not the illicit drug, nor the booze that was the wild card.
"What else was different?" Vicary asks. "She was taking cocaine before. She had taken it in the past. She had taken alcohol before. She had never done this kind of thing before. So what was different in this instance?"
In a statement, Pfizer says there is "no substantiated evidence" linking Zoloft to violent behavior.
Police say Brynn Hartman shot her TV star husband as he slept in their bed in the early hours of last May 28, then later, took a bullet herself. Brynn was 40; Phil, 49.
Hartman insiders tonight paint twin portraits of Brynn. One side says the troubled woman's darkest days seemed to be behind her. The other says she was in turmoil over career and mid-life crises.
"I had an idea about the drug problems...but it seemed really in the past," Saturday Night Live alum (and former Phil Hartman costar) Julia Sweeney says.
"She was really insecure but working on it."
Family nanny Lorraine Blanco says Brynn was happy that Phil had turned down a movie job to spend his NewsRadio hiatus with her and their two children.
"They were very excited about going to Malibu for the summer," Blanco says.
But family friend Marcy Toscher, who received a frantic phone call from Brynn after the first shooting, says the woman was struggling after falling off the sobriety wagon.
Two notable non-interviewees tonight: The two young Hartman kids--son Sean and daughter Birgen.
"Their peace now is that their parents are in heaven and that Brynn was forgiven by God and that Brynn was very sick that day and didn't know what she was doing," nanny Blanco says. "They really believe that there parents are in heaven watching over them."
20/20 airs tonight at 10 p.m. (EST/PST).
