- Main article: The Mary Alice Brandon File
Lillian was married to Edgar and had a daughter, whom they named Mary Alice. At an early age, Alice demonstrated the gift of premonition, and Lillian accepted this part of her with stride, unlike her skeptical husband. Years later, she was pregnant again. Alice predicted it to be a girl, and Lillian named her Cynthia.
When Alice turned eighteen, she had a vision of her mother being murdered by a stranger in the woods on her way into town: The man sat in a Model T and ran Lillian's buggy off the road just outside of town, where there was a steep drop. Alice knew she was too late, but she kept running until she reached the scene. Lillian's death was declared accidental, and Alice's protestations to the contrary were met with disdain and suspicion. Edgar ordered Alice to be silent. It was later revealed that her husband hired the man to have Lillian murdered in order to marry another woman.
