Patrick Gallagher is an entrepreneur and businessman who retired in 2016 with a goal of writing the story of an infamous murder that occurred in Oregon in 1946. He has never published anything prior to this time.
Not a professional writer by trade, Patrick believes the story of the murder of Dr. Willis D. Broadhurst carries itself in its intensity and the sheer amazement that any person, let alone a woman in the 1940’s, would move from husband-to-husband in cold, calculated steps.
The author’s grandfather, PJ Gallagher was the lead defense attorney for the widow accused of first-degree murder in the death of her new husband. This was one of the most sensational murder trials ever conducted in Oregon, and it garnered nationwide attention in the news media.
Years ago, Patrick inherited from his grandfather a box full of ardent love letters from the victim to his wife. Knowing these letters were the basis for a story that must be told, Patrick committed to learning the story of this woman and her crime. Over the course of four years, Patrick researched the story through the trial transcripts, newspaper articles and over the internet. The result is a compelling story of one woman careening from husband to husband in search of something. What that “something” is becomes a central theme in the book.
The book written by Patrick Gallagher, ‘TIL DEATH DO US . . .’ tells the sensational story of the life of Gladys, her marriages, the events leading up the murder of Dr. Broadhurst and the investigation and trial of Gladys.
