Heiress to a tobacco fortune, murdered by her own son, Steven. Margaret had coddled Steven his whole life, giving him homes and money. But, Steven chafed under her control. He decided to kill his mother, nephew, and sister in a spectacular car explosion, thus gaining a full inheritance for himself. He fixed a bomb under the car, then herded everyone into it. He then said he had to return to the house for something. As he walked back out of the house, the car burst into a tremendous fireball. The only survivor was his sister, who had left her car door open, but she was covered in burns. Her testimony about Steven's actions that day, plus the astute investigation by police, led to Steven's conviction and sentence to life imprisonment.
