Murder victim. She and her husband, Dan Broderick, were shot to death by his ex-wife, Betty Broderick, following an extremely bitter divorce in what became a high-profile case. Dan was a college senior at Notre Dame in pre-med when he met Elizabeth "Betty" Anne Bisceglia, a freshman. They dated for the next three years while Dan attended Cornell Medical College, and were married on April 12, 1969, in Eastchester, NY. While in his residency, Dan decided to change careers and enrolled in Harvard Law School, intent upon becoming a medical malpractice lawyer. Betty took odd jobs to pay the rent while Dan studied. Dan, always a fashionable dresser, became known on campus as "Dapper Dan" while Betty always wore older, second-hand clothing. Dan began his legal career in San Diego, where he quickly became a successful medical malpractice attorney, while Betty became a real estate salesperson. They had four children, Kimberly, Lee, Danny Jr, and Rhett. As Dan became more successful, earning up to $2 million a year, he stayed at work more frequently, leaving Betty to raise the children alone. At age 39 In 1983, he hired Linda Kolkena, a pretty, 21-year-old former airline stewardess, as his personal assistant and soon began an affair with her. By 1985, he had decided on a divorce, and he and Betty legally separated. She moved with the kids to another house. He paid her $9,000 a month in alimony and child support, but she began to break into their house and vandalize it, not once, but several times. He retaliated by obtaining restraining orders each time, and Betty was jailed twice for violating the restraining orders. In 1986, Linda and Dan moved to another house, and sold the original house, giving half of the sale price to Betty. Betty retaliated by driving her SUV through the front door of their new house, for which she spent 3 days in a mental hospital. They were finally divorced on January 30, 1989, when Dan's legal team blocked all of her legal motions, and she received a $30,000 lump sum, and $9,000 monthly in alimony (she had sought $1,000,000 lump sum and $25,000 monthly). Dan won legal custody of the four children but had to give her visitation rights. After the divorce, she continued to threaten Dan and Linda (who married right after the divorce), leaving threatening telephone messages several times a day on their answering machine. On November 5, 1989, at 5:00 am, she drove to her ex-husband's house in San Diego and entered with a key that she had stolen from her daughter Kim. Finding them asleep in bed, she shot Linda twice killing her instantly and Dan once. A first trial resulted in a hung jury, but a new jury convicted her of second-degree murder at a second trial, and she was sentenced to 32 years to life in prison.
