Linda Kolkena Broderick, 28, was shot to death on November 5, 1989, in San Diego, California. She and her husband Dan Broderick were attacked in their bed; Linda was shot twice and died at the scene, while Dan was shot once. The attacker, Betty Broderick, entered the couple’s home using a key taken from her daughter.

The killings followed a long, bitter dispute between Betty and Dan over divorce-related matters including alimony, custody, and property, and the case drew intense media attention. Betty was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder; her first trial ended in a hung jury and a later retrial resulted in convictions for two counts of second-degree murder with a 32 years to life sentence.
