Jill Coit  Jill Coit (born June 11, 1943 or 1944) is an American convicted murderer. A con artist and serial bigamist who has been married 11 times to nine different men since 1961, Coit was convicted of killing her eighth husband in 1993 and is also suspected of killing her third husband in 1972. Coit is serving a life sentence with no possibility of parole at the Denver Women's Correctional Facility. Coit was born Jill Lonita Billiot in New Orleans. She is of Native American descent. Her upbringing was apparently normal and without any major trauma or unusual features, and she was described as popular at her school. However, Coit did not fare well academically and dropped out of high school in 1961 to marry her first husband. Less than a year later she filed for divorce and liquidated their shared bank accounts. She married for a second time, to Steven Moore, and gave birth to a son in 1964, filing for divorce soon afterwards. Coit married engineer William Clark Coit, Jr. in January 1966, while still legally married to Moore. The couple had two children, William Andrew Coit (called Andrew) and William Coit III. William Coit, Jr. adopted Jill's son from her previous marriage. William Coit, Jr. was killed on March 29, 1972, shot twice in the back by an apparent intruder shortly after he filed for divorce from Jill. She was suspected of the murder, but the police could never find sufficient evidence to charge her. Additionally, she checked herself into a mental hospital to avoid further questioning. Shortly after Clark's death, Jill Coit moved to California where she also persuaded an elderly gentleman to informally adopt her, and subsequently inherited "a large portion of his estate" after his death. Coit's fourth marriage was to Donald Charles Brodie, an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. The couple divorced in 1975 after two years of marriage. Coit later twice married and twice divorced one of the lawyers who represented her during the investigation into William Coit's murder. While separated from her fifth husband, Coit married Eldon Duane Metzger in Ohio. In 1983, she married husband number seven, a schoolteacher in Indiana. While renovating a bed and breakfast with her sons, Coit regularly visited Gerald Boggs' hardware store in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. They struck up a relationship and in 1991 Boggs, a 52-year-old bachelor, married her, becoming (unbeknown to him) her eighth husband.
