 At her wedding in April 1989, 28-year-old Linda Kolkena couldn’t stop shaking. 


Dressed in white, she smiled for photos and tried to enjoy what should have been the happiest day of her life — but inside, she was terrified. Before walking down the aisle, she begged her groom, 44-year-old Dan Broderick, to wear a bulletproof vest. She was convinced his ex-wife, Betty, might try to kill them. Seven months later, her worst fear came true.





Linda had once been Dan’s secretary — bright, full of life, and deeply in love. Their romance began while Dan was still married, a secret affair that would eventually tear two families apart. When he finally divorced Betty in 1985, it wasn’t the end of their story — it was the beginning of a nightmare.


Betty Broderick, heartbroken and consumed by rage, couldn’t let go. She left venomous voicemails, vandalized their home, and even rammed her car into the side of their house. Her anger burned hotter with every wedding photo, every reminder that Dan had moved on.


Then, in the early morning hours of November 5, 1989, Betty broke into the couple’s San Diego home. As Dan and Linda slept, she entered their bedroom, pulled the trigger, and ended both their lives in a single act of vengeance.
