Betty and Dan Broderick were a golden couple in San Diego, CA. He, a powerful attorney; she, a devoted, fun-loving wife and mother of four. But when Dan turned 40 he became a cliche. He bought a Corvette, fell for his much younger legal assistant, and left Betty after 16 years of marriage. Their bitter six-year divorce became the most contentious in San Diego County history, a battle over money, custody, and control. On November 5, 1989, it ended in shocking violence when Betty walked into the couple’s home and killed Dan and his new wife, Linda, as they slept, turning a local divorce drama into one of the most infamous true crime cases of the century.Listen to all three parts ad-free on PatreonSourceshttps://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5565-Coral-Reef-Ave-La-Jolla-CA-92037/16857585_zpid/ Betty and Dan’s househttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl2gx4wafQs Dan’s home in Balboa ParkBroderick, Betty.
