From the beginning, the prime suspect had been Betty Lou's husband Bill. A dominating and controlling husband, he had kept his wife penniless and almost in bondage for 28 years until, finally, she'd had enough and filed for divorce.
A year earlier, Bill had somehow persuaded Betty Lou to take out a $250,000 life insurance policy, naming him as the beneficiary. His wife's murder would not only make him a rich man, but would eliminate the threat of losing half of his assets in a divorce settlement.
It seemed an open and shut case, but it was not to be. In this true story, author Dixie Murphy follows a trail of suspicion and intrigue, and reveals the virtually unprecedented means used to finally bring a murderer to justice.
