Is Dear John Betty based on a true story?

Like the first season, which told the story of real-life conman John Meehan and his last victim Debra Newell, this season is also based on a true story—this time about the Brodericks and how their seemingly picture-perfect marriage deteriorated and ended with Betty murdering Dan and his second wife, Linda Kolkena.

What did Dan Broderick do to Betty?

Against Betty’s wishes, Dan moved out in February 1985. He eventually took custody of their children after Betty left the children on his doorstep one by one. Betty claimed that Dan confessed he had in fact been having an affair with Kolkena, and a long, drawn-out, and hostile divorce ensued.
