It’s not unusual for people to murder other people for purposes of collecting the insurance money. What is unusual about the case of Virginia Rearden, 55 – whom was convicted in 1992 of murdering her son’s girlfriend – Deana Wild, 20 – was that her three-day trial was held near the crime scene.

The trial revealed that Wild had been drugged and deliberately pushed off a cliff in Big Sur, California – falling 390 feet to her death in 1987.
