Mary Agnes Hoffman, 74, died of a reported heart attack on May 26, 1986, but authorities viewed her death as suspicious. Her daughter, Virginia McGinnis, collected insurance proceeds after the death. McGinnis was known to have benefited financially from other suspicious deaths in her family, including those of her daughter and former husband.

Investigators lacked sufficient evidence at the time to bring charges in Mary Hoffmans case. It later became possible to convict McGinnis for the murder of Deana Wild, and McGinnis died in custody on June 25, 2011, at age 74. No arrests were ever made in connection with Mary Agnes Hoffman’s death, and the matter remains unresolved.

Did anyone who knew Mary Hoffman, her household, or the family’s affairs around 1986 notice anything out of the ordinary?
