Janette Gardner is the brother of real estate agent Randall Gardner, who was murdered. Randall was altruistic with his money, buying Janette a studio apartment for her painting career. She never liked his wife, Belinda, knowing money was her only reason for marrying him.
Janette believed strongly that Belinda killed Randall, but her alibi was ironclad, and she was even more embittered Belinda got the inheritance she wanted. It was revealed, however, Belinda hired Adele Byrne to kill Randall, in exchange for Belinda killingAdele’s husband John. Both women were convicted on charges relating to the murders and imprisoned.
