Lillian A Jarvis

Lillian Jarvis was estranged from her husband, William Jarvis, who was a former air-traffic controller, when she was killed. William was accused of murdering Lillian with a bomb disguised as a Christmas gift, which he left on her parents' doorstep. She was living with her parents at the time. The bomb exploded when she opened the present in her parents' bathroom, killing her and injuring her mother and boyfriend. William went on trial for the murder. See the complete story of her death and the trial at Prosecution Rests In The Jarvis Murder Trial. In November of 2003, William was found guilty of murdering Lillian. He was sentenced to three life sentences: convicted of first-degree murder, first-degree arson, and two counts of placing a bomb causing injury. See Man found guilty in bombing.
