37. Black Widows: Betty Broderick & Betty Neumar

Happy holidays to our favorite listeners! If you are the type of person who likes to listen to a murder story while baking cookies, you’re in luck! I remember last year when I watched Don’t F With Cats while wrapping some last minute gifts. This week, we bring you two black widow cases. Nathalie tells the story of the infamous Betty Broderick. Betty did everything she was supposed to, she was a devout Catholic, she got married, had babies, and supported her husband during graduate school. When her husband decided to ditch Betty and marry his younger receptionist, Betty snapped. Rachel tells the story of another Betty, Betty Neumar. Betty was a kind woman, she ran her own salon and volunteered with the church. Betty got married a few times, but all of her husbands ended up dead. She was finally charged with the murder of her fourth husband, prompting authorities to reinvestigate their deaths.
