Dorothy Robards (b. 1977) is known for the poisoning murder of her father at age 16 in Fort Worth Texas[2]. The trial received media attention since she was a promising student and patricide is a rare crime more commonly committed by men[3].

The crime was fictionalized in Megan Abbott's 2018 novel Give Me Your Hand [4], as well as episodes of both Forensic Files and Redrum.
