Betty â displaced, dispossessed Betty and her five-shot nickel-plated Smith & Wesson â saw to it that they would never live to share that bed again.

Thirty years ago, a man and his new wife were murdered in their bed. Thatâs a long time for a double homicide to stay in the public eye and imagination, but these were no ordinary murders. The killer was the manâs first wife, Betty Broderick. Betty and Dan Broderick had looked like the perfect couple, right up until they werenât. After four children and nearly 15 years of marriage, after the riches they both worked for were finally within reach, he walked out and began having an affair with his assistant. But divorce ended the Brodericksâ marriage only on paper. âTill death do you partâ turned out to be the way it would ultimately end: bitter, savage and fatal. Thirty years after five bullets, two coffins and one California prison inmate No. W42477, why canât we look away from Betty Broderick?
Premiering May 26th, 2020.
