The worst mother-in-law in California was also the last woman to be executed in the state, in 1962. Elizabeth Ann “Ma” Duncan was 58.
Alex Murdaugh found the bodies of his wife and son after family members said he had been away checking on his mother and ailing father.
Both were both shot several times and found outside the family's home in nearby Colleton County, authorities said.
The current elected prosecutor isn't a family member, but stepped aside last month after citing developments in the case without giving any additional details.
The statement from PMPED law firm came hours after Alex Murdaugh said he was resigning and entering rehab.
It was also the first time Ventura County Dist. Atty. Roy Gustafson prosecuted a capital murder case under a state law he wrote that created a separate penalty phase of the trial. In 1948, Ma Duncan was living in Long Beach with the youngest of her six children, Patsy Ann, 15.
Ma Duncan’s 1959 trial focused a harsh spotlight on Ventura County, where the prosecution painted a grim portrait of an overbearing, obsessed and terrifying mother, consumed with an intense hatred for her pregnant daughter-in-law and a perverse love for her son--so much that she resorted to murder to separate him from his wife.
Before she hired two thugs to murder the wife, Ma Duncan had tried to break up their marriage by impersonating her daughter-in-law at an annulment hearing and paying a stranger to pose as her son. The trial was just as bizarre as the crime.
Six years later, Louise Peete was sent to the gas chamber for robbing and killing a woman who had befriended her while she was in prison. In the 1920s, Peete had killed her employer, who was also her lover.
After Frank left for work each morning, his mother telephoned Olga or went to her apartment to threaten the woman, hoping to scare her out of town. When that failed, she bought a gun and threatened to kill herself in front of her son. He took the gun away. Olga feared for her life and that of her unborn baby.
She told her girlfriends and wrote to her parents about her fears. She moved from apartment to apartment to keep away from Ma Duncan. But when she told Frank about his mother’s threats, he refused to believe it; his mother told him it wasn’t true.
Her son went to police, intending to get the men in more legal trouble. But it didn’t work out that way. Police soon became suspicious about Olga’s disappearance and pressed the men, who confessed and implicated Ma Duncan. They would later say that if they had known Olga was pregnant, they would not have killed her.

Rule's name might sound familiar, as she is the daughter of legendary true crime writer Ann Rule, who wrote the classic book "The Stranger Beside Me" about her friendship with Ted Bundy.
Then, in August 2013, Golyar's house caught fire, killing her family pets, including two dogs, a cat and a snake. Fire investigators believed it was arson, and Golyar told police she suspected Farver was the culprit.
After Golyar left, Avis drove over to her house to interview her, pretending it was about her complaint. She told Avis she now thought it was Flora who had been sending her threatening messages this whole time, not Farver.
Meanwhile, Kava got to work sifting through the contents of Golyar's cell phone after the second download. He discovered Golyar had registered "upwards of 20 or 30 fake [email] addresses," all of which had some variation of Farver's name.
About six months after meeting Golyar, Kroupa said an "extremely attractive woman" walked into the auto shop. It was Cari Farver , a single mom who had brought in her Ford Explorer for maintenance.
Kroupa said he signed up for a couple of dating sites. The first person he met through one of them was a woman named Shanna Elizabeth Golyar, who went by "Liz.". Tayandy Braver. Shanna " Liz" Golyar is seen here in this undated photo.
For Kroupa, the harassment wasn't just over text and email, he was also being stalked.
For decades, Joe Biden lied about the cause of the accident as he exploited the accident to promote his candidacy. He shamefully changed the details of the story, claiming the driver was drunk and responsible for the accident.
Found photo of car, other than that details are slim but by all accounts Neilia veered into the lane of tractor. pic.twitter.com/K5JH7YP6DR
Police determined that Biden’s first wife drove into the path of Dunn’s tractor-trailer, possibly because her head was turned and she didn’t see the oncoming truck. Dunn did everything he could to avoid hitting the car. He even overturned his rig while swerving to avoid a collision.
Wallace was visibly stunned at the last election. He can't fact check himself.
According to Wikipedia. “Stalking is unwanted or obsessive attention by an individual or group toward another person.

There are many resources available online to help. Victimsofcrime.org’s Stalking Resource Center offers help and education for victims of stalking. The Department of Justice also has a stalking site www.ovw.usdoj.gov/aboutstalking.htm.
The more we educate ourselves, the more we can protect our lives and those of our children. My wish is for the broken family law system to recognize stalking and obsessive behaviors more and make decisions accordingly, BEFORE physical violence erupts. Just because a man in the divorce process has not shown (much) physical violence in the past does not mean he will not during or after divorce.
Anyone can be a stalker, and anyone can be a stalking victim. In a study conducted in 1998 by the U.S. Department of Justice, it was determined that one out of every twelve women and one out of every forty-five men in the United States has been stalked at some time in their lives.
According to a 2002 report by the National Center for Victims of Crime, “Virtually any unwanted contact between two people [that intends] to directly or indirectly communicates a threat or places the victim in fear can be considered stalking” [1] although in practice the legal standard is usually somewhat stricter.”.
Stalking should never be taken lightly. A person you thought you knew and could never be violent, could turn violent in an instant. Many police departments are connected with Victim’s Assistance programs and their counselors will help you determine what steps to take to protect yourself and children if you are a victim of stalking.
