Mesa County Sheriff's investigators learned that the movie "No Country For Old Men" was rented at the former Helmick home in Whitewater on April 26, 2008, Assistant District Attorney Rich Tuttle said during testimony Monday.

The movie, rented via Dish Network, includes a scene in which actor Javier Bardem's character places an article of clothing in the gas tank of a car, lights it and walks away into a pharmacy before the car explodes.

Four days after the movie rental, prosecutors allege Miriam Helmick set fire to her husband's car, which had a rope-type wick placed in the gas tank and was set afire outside a Delta business.
