Notorious Betty Broderick dies in prison at 78
Elisabeth 'Betty' Broderick, the La Jolla socialite who killed her ex-husband Daniel Broderick and his wife Linda Kolkena in 1989, died in prison at 78 from natural causes; after a 1990 mistrial and a 1991 conviction for two counts of second-degree murder, she was sentenced to 32 years to life and denied parole in 2010 and 2017, with her case inspiring books, a TV movie, a podcast, and an eight-episode miniseries.
