Gone Girl Isn't a True Story - But It Does Have Real-life Inspiration

Gone Girl isn’t technically a true story, but a tragic true-crime case and the subsequent media circus somewhat inspired the source novel.

The toxic relationship at the center of Gone Girl parallels the real-life Scott and Laci Peterson case.
The media's obsession with airing the couple's secrets is a significant theme explored in Gone Girl that has been featured in multiple real-life cases.
While the ending of Gone Girl differs from many real-life cases, the similarities between this fictional psychological thriller and reality are difficult to ignore.
