“179seconds to death".

Christine Bennett (Megan Ward) gives up being a nun and goes out into the real world with a house that she inherits. A close cousin, Gene Wirth (Matt Lutz), is in a mental institution nearby. Gene has a friend there, Edward Talley, one of a pair of idiot savant twins (both played by Rutanya Alda), who were suspected of matricide 30years ago but never brought to trial. Christine, with the aid of Det. Jack Brooks (Morgan Weisser) is determined to get to the bottom of this and put the suspicions to rest one way or another. Looks like many people had motive and opportunity; there is a lot of finger-pointing and confessions. We get to speculate and participate. This is a made-for-TV movie based on "The Good Friday Murders," the first of a series of mystery books by Lee Harris, all with holidays in their title. Deviates somewhat from the book, but does a fair job of filling in the background and characters around the middle of the movie. Even if you guess who did it, it is fun to watch how they figure it out or not. This looks like a made-for-TV pilot. Look closely, Patty Duke is Mother Joseph.
