Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Marilyn Bradshaw Reagan had tried but failed to prevent her sister Frances Schreuder from inheriting the fortune made by their father, whose murder sent Schreuder to prison. Reagan cited a Utah law that bars convicted killers from inheriting anything from their victims. Reagan, who stood to gain nothing financially had she prevailed, asserted Schreuder deserved no stake in the estate of their mother, Berenice Jewett Bradshaw.
Bradshaw's money came from her husband Franklin, who was gunned down in 1978 at his Salt Lake auto-parts store by Schreuder's son, Marc, then 17 years old.
(This biographical note was taken from a news clipping from the Deseret New, October 14-15, 1996.)
