MICHIGAN CITY --- A month from the day he is set to be executed at the Indiana State Prison, Matthew Eric Wrinkles will appear on national television, confronting the family of his victims and Oprah Winfrey.

Wrinkles, an Evansville man convicted in the 1994 murders of Debra Jean Wrinkles, 31; her brother, Mark "Tony" Fulkerson, 28; and Fulkerson's wife, Natalie "Chris" Fulkerson, 26, is to appear on "The Oprah Winfrey" show with relatives of the victims, including his two children, according to a preview on the Oprah.com Web site.

The show airs at 9 a.m. Tuesday on WLS- Channel 7.

The state Supreme Court upheld Wrinkles's conviction and death sentence, and he is scheduled to die by lethal injection in Michigan City on Dec. 11.

Wrinkles is scheduled to be the first Indiana inmate to be executed in two years, barring any last-minute appeals or a commutation of his sentence by Gov. Mitch Daniels.

The Wrinkles separated after years of marital strife, which took a deeply violent turn July 21, 1994, when Eric Wrinkles donned face paint and camouflage clothing went the the Fulkersons' home to seek out Debra Jean, who had moved in with the couples' two children.

Wrinkles cut the phone lines and kicked in the back door, then gunned down his three victims. The Fulkersons' 9-year-old daughter witnessed him shoot her parents, then Debra
Jean. Wrinkles has maintained his judgment was clouded by methamphetamine addiction.

Natalie Fulkerson's mother, described in media reports as a devoutly religious woman, has said she wants Wrinkles' sentence to be commuted to life in prison.

Wrinkles will interview with family members via satellite uplink from the prison.
