I figured out awhile ago he's remembering an episode of a series...not a TV movie or mini-series. So you're never going to find it.
No I'm not. It was either a TV movie and lasted over an hour or it was like a 3 part mini-series. I definitely remember that it wasn't an episode from a show.
ETA: I suppose it could have been made in the 80's too, but like everything else in this thread I'm not sure.

It sounds like the plot in one of Patricia Cornwell's "Kay Scarpetta" novels. Can't think of the name, though.

The only details I remember is that the show was based in some place that gets snow and the sheriff sleeps with one of the other major characters. I think it was a blonde woman.
That's straight out of Fargo. I think you are combining multiple mediums and shows and whatever else.

Not it, but that sounds interesting.

It's general "details" that can be applied to most movies/shows/etc. However I remember them because they were in the show, I'm not pulling them from outside sources.

The final scene shows the 3 kids (murders) at some ice rink I think, definitely snowing, and they're talking about this missing kid (kid they murdered)and I think it fades out. But it shows that they started when they were kids. Creepy.

I'm guessing it was a show called 'Chiefs'.
That was my first instinct, but some of the OP's clues didn't belong.
However, Chiefs was a great mini-series. Foxy Funderburke was the serial killer played by Keith Carradine. I'd like to watch it again, to see how it holds up 30 years after it first aired.

The only thing I can come up with is "Night Sins." It was a TV movie but doesn't sound like the right time frame. Read the message board on IMDB and they have the same comments about wondering who the third killer filming was.

That actually looks like a possibility, but I can't find enough about it to confirm.

That may be it. I found this:
Night Sins

"Night Sins" is different from most network TV miniseries. It's actually interesting enough to merit its four-hour format. (It airs Sunday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. on CBS/Ch. 2.)And, in addition to its strong story, "Night Sins" features great direction, good performances and enough thrills and chills to creep the heck out of you. Don't watch this one alone! Valerie Bertinelli stars as Megan, a state investigator whose new assignment to a small town in the Northwest unexpectedly becomes exciting - quickly. On her first day, an 8-year-old boy is kidnapped. The only clue is a cryptic note left by the abductor. Megan teams up with Mitch (Harry Hamlin), the town's police chief, to lead the search for the boy. It turns out that Mitch has a dark secret - his wife and young son were kidnapped and brutally murdered some years earlier. And the investigation uncovers a whole slew of dark secrets in the seemingly placid town. Some of them end up being directly related to the case, others not - which is part of the intrigue. And the kidnapping turns out to be related to a string of murders that stretch back 20 years. Unlike so many TV dramas of this sort, chances are you're not going to figure out whodunnit in the first hour. The narrative points to almost everybody in town as a suspect at some point - and these aren't just annoying red herrings thrown in to divert you. John Leekley's script - an excellent adaptation of Tami Hoag's novel - takes viewers on the same frustrating, frightening journey the characters are carried on. Clues that seem promising fail to pan out, while some that seem insignificant end up being of major importance. And everything that happens is tied together before the four hours wrap up. Director Robert Allan Ackerman is known for much different types of TV movies - including his Emmy-winning job on the multiple-Emmy-winning "David's Mother." But he does a fabulous job of making "Night Sins" at once intriguing and frightening. This is the sort of suspense/ thriller that Hollywood used to make for theatrical release - the kind of movie that will give you a start without spilling buckets of blood. "Night Sins" is, however, downright creepy, from the suspect with the grotesque glass eye to the mummified corpse to the bizarre notes left by the abductor (or is that abductors?) to the mysterious phone calls. Yikes! In addition to Bertinelli and Hamlin, "Night Sins" features strong performances by Karen Sillas and Martin Donovan as the kidnapping victim's parents, Mariska Hargitay as an awful TV reporter, William Russ as a pompous sheriff and David Marshall Grant, Colm Feore, Michael Cumpsty, Tim DeKay and Jeffrey DeMunn as various townsfolk/suspects.

Where at? I wanna watch it too.

iOffer.com It was a copy that a guy recorded from TV I think because it's never been released on DVD.
If it's the right movie I'll try to upload it as a torrent or put it on rapidshare or something.
Night Sins
That's the link. The guy might be able to make another copy.

Yeah, you can't buy this anywhere...it was a Lifetime Movie (I knew it would be) and they haven't released it for DVD or even VHS ever. (As far as I can tell.)
