That DOES sound very much like the first episode of the Trilogy, with the child being the last one to see the guy she killed alive, having stolen a medallion (like the missing locket) and the "family curse" that psychopathy/insanity is genetic...
I might have to find this movie and watch it.
Apparently there was a TV series remake of this story/movie in the 1980s, so it's quite possible that Deborah Pratt had seen this not long before writing the Trilogy...
