The old bag sitting directly under the second microphone from the left is Mrs. Mary D. Nilson, who lived on Windsor Boulevard.
From what I can tell, we haven't seen anything of the Briggs-Nilson case here on NLA.... I discovered what may be the case of the world's worst mother-in-law if not just a son-in-law's murderous proclivities while working on the story of
514 South Windsor Boulevard.... There were lots of headlines beginning with this one of July 21, 1959, until the mid-60s. Long story short, Mary Nilson was not happy with her daughter Norma's choice of John Briggs as a husband...but then the bride
was three months pregnant.... Norma forgave her husband within days of the "accident"--but not Mary. Briggs pleaded insanity but was nevertheless found guilty of attempted murder and given a 1-20 year sentence. The decision was overturned. The old lady died intestate and Norma got her $2,708,000... then the Briggses divorced after much countersuing. And Norma appears to have then married her ex's brother.
