Preview 'Snapped: Betty Broderick,' Airing July 15 On Oxygen
On Nov. 5, 1989, powerful San Diego attorney Daniel Broderick and his new wife, Linda Kolkena Broderick, were gunned down in their home.
Oxygen, the network for high-quality true crime programming, takes a deep dive into the story that captivated a nation, the case of La Jolla socialite Betty Broderick, in “Snapped: Betty Broderick,” premiering Wednesday, July 15, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Convicted of murdering her ex-husband, Dan Broderick and his new wife, Linda Broderick on November 5, 1989, “Snapped” investigates the tale of a woman scorned, a shattered family, and a violent double murder.
“Snapped: Betty Broderick,” depicts the shocking details of the heinous murders of Betty’s ex-husband, Dan, and his new wife, Linda, along with the investigation, and trial that led to Betty’s 32-years-to-life sentence. Through in-depth interviews with former detective, Terry Degelder, friends of Dan Broderick, Betty’s attorney Jack Farley, and the author of Forsaking All Others: The Real Betty Broderick Story, Loretta Schwartz-Nobel, the episode delves into the history of Betty and Dan’s relationship and its ultimate demise.
Taking a different perspective, the special aims to unravel the age-old question: Had Betty Broderick been plotting a murderous attack all along against a husband who took her for granted for years, left her for a younger woman, and put her through a vicious custody trial — or did she just snap?
"Snapped" is produced by Jupiter Entertainment with Stephen Land, Patrick Reardon, Todd Moss and Dale Fisher serving as executive producers.
