About this listen

Marguerite shares the story of Betty Ann Duncan, the patron saint of toxic boy-mom energy. Back in 1958, she decided her pregnant daughter-in-law, Olga Duncan, had to go… so she outsourced murder like it was a household chore.

The case blew up nationwide, because nothing says scandal like a mother-in-law hiring hitmen. In the end, Elizabeth Ann Duncan earned a grim little footnote in history: she became the last woman executed in California, right before the death penalty got benched by the Supreme Court in 1972.
