Betty Broderick was raised to become a wife and mother. She’s achieved these goals, and was living the high life in the swanky La Jolla neighbourhood of San Diego, California with her husband, Dan, and their four children - Kim, Lee, Daniel, and Rhett. But in 1983, Betty’s idyllic (and highly hostile) marriage came crashing down around her.
Death Do Us Part – Part 1
The saying goes: “Love and marriage; they go together like a horse and carriage”. What the saying doesn’t tell you is that horses get spooked, and the carriage can crash. Similarly, love dies, and marriages end. Accepting the end of a marriage is not an easy task - and Betty Broderick certainly did not take the ending of hers very well at all.

The Pigeon King
Nine times out of ten, most people know they’re committing fraud when they’re running a con or a scam. But then there’s that one - that one who, seemingly, just doesn’t know what they’re doing.
The Glamour Girl Slayer
Hollywood is all about who you know, and your reputation with those people. Making it in Hollywood isn’t easy - or so I’ve been told. But when you have no reputation, you’re practically invisible. And that makes it easy to get away with murder.
The Hatton Garden Heist
If you’ve ever seen Snatch, or any of the Ocean’s movies, you’ll know a good heist when you see one. However, they’re not all super convoluted plots with a personal vendetta. Sometimes, a heist is just a group of people who want to see if they can pull it off.
Black Widow – Part 2
In 1924, Louise Peete was incarcerated for murder. Three of her husbands had committed suicide, she was acquitted of the murder of Joe Appel, and convicted of the murder of Jacob C. Denton, a wealthy man living in Los Angeles, California. Death followed Peete wherever she went. And she was supposed to serve a life sentence for one such death.
Black Widow – Part 1
Bad luck can follow some people around like the plague - constant, ever present, and with no cure. Some people have more than bad luck following them around. And others are harbingers of death. Louise Peete was certainly a harbinger of death. Wherever she went, someone would die.
