Thank you. !

Diver John Farrar testified that Kopechne's body was pressed up in the car in the spot where an air bubble would have formed. He interpreted that to mean that she had survived in the air bubble after the car submerged, and he concluded that: "Had I received a call within five to ten minutes of the accident occurring, and was able, as I was the following morning, to be at the victim's side within twenty-five minutes of receiving the call, in such event there is a strong possibility that she would have been alive on removal from the submerged car." Farrar believed that Kopechne "lived for at least two hours down there." John Farrar testified: "It looked as if she were holding herself up to get a last breath of air. It was a consciously assumed position…. She didn't drown. She died of suffocation in her own air void. It took her at least three or four hours to die. I could have had her out of that car twenty-five minutes after I got the call. But he didn't call." - diver John Farrar, Inquest into the Death of Mary Jo Kopechne, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Edgartown District Court. New York: EVR Productions, 1970.

This style of saying one sentence and then pausing for just as long is really unfortunate.

Thank you for this funny, fascinating, and calming video Oddie.

There is an 8 episode Spotify report by the daughters of Fauna Hodel that extensively covers Fauna, her (grand)father Dr. George Hodel and his connection to Elizabeth Short. George's son went on to become an L.A. cop & investgated Elizabeth's murder. He came to the conclusion that his father killed her. It's an intriguing & gruesome podcast worth the time to listen to. Interesting personal note: I was born 9 days after Fauna Hodel.

That client had to be the one who did it but perhaps working with the escort service.

great art good work

my old but now deceased employer had a wonderful arranged marriage. They clicked. Word is she divorced from her husband of almost 20 years for my employer who was 40 years senior. in fact my employer when married to his 3rd wife at the time, loved her in the earlier years and gifted them ( her married with her first child) real estate in an affluent neighborhood in los angels. they flipped it not able to pay property taxes- I believe it was expected. Anyhow my elderly employer passed away and she inherited his estate. She went into hiding for over a year and now lives near my ex-employers cherished alumni and care takes his endowment. her children doing well and we all still talk although im never invited to anything lol. I guess there's limitation when I comes to the help. but the trust is there for life

5 years later & I'll say this - anyone involved in a cult religion like THAT who'd allow murders to occur instead of a seperation from the cult for falling in love don't deserve to "rest in peace" do they? It's a shame that those wronged seem to be the ones doing the haunting, waiting for SOMEONE to undo the actual SIN OF MURDERS that were done in the name of the religion, which is a cult, really. I sound redundant. But any zealous extremes are dangerous no matter what title or banner it flies over its members, when there's no option other than death if you chose to leave it.

Thank you, Oddie. I just love your work. That is all.

The whole family is gone now. I wonder if the girl was trafficked out of the country since no one found her but found her ID & some belongings. This happens a lot more than people like to admit. Amazing vintage / record player too, Oddie! I enjoy your memories.

Coming from Sydney I remember the case well & have many friends from that area. Really well covered and love your personal stories

The music could be turned down a tad. It’s a little too loud for my liking thank you.

U should do something about what inspired Anne rice interview with a vampire

I so appreciate the creativity and care you put into your content. Also I adore the vintage postcards.

A tunnel to the grave yard and people burned alive in a church previously. Plus a headless fat man in a wig. Enough ghosts to go around without Crowley doing anything. Maybe his rituals were complete bs.

That scared the 💩 out of me! Great story! Love your channel!❤

He went to the mad house. Enough said folks.

I remember this one. So sad. I really hope those involved in her disappearance & death receive whatever karma they deserve! Great presentation as always, Oddie! Also love hearing about your old hangouts in Australia 🤟❤

I feel bad for the family of *Revelle Balmain* & for *Revelle* who did not get to live out her natural life 💔

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely believe that it was the last client who killed her. Her belongings were found not far from his home. She went there and I'm sure that upon her arrival, she was not happy that he was a substandard client. The fact that he sold his GF's clarinet to pay for her fully explains the conditions that Revelle walked up to upon arriving at his residence. Revelle probably thought, "This is not at all what I expected -- and I need to get the hell out of here!" But, she didn't leave, even though her gut was telling her to. She most likely just said to herself, "Okay, I'm here. I'll just get this over with really quick and leave." The guy sensed her wanting to get through it really fast and he probably got really pissed, I mean, after all the trouble that he went through to get the money! Selling his GF's clarinet! And THEN he was probably over-anxious and a bit nervous meeting Revelle and in the end he failed to make the session last for very long and once that happened, she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. And, I think that because it happened 'prematurely' he was expecting her to 'give him more time', he expected her to stay with him longer. And she wouldn't. If you go back and look at all of the injuries on him in the photos the police took, you're going to see all of the signs where Revelle fought him off while he was probably choking her. He has fingernail scratches on his neck and face, he has multiple abrasions and bruises. This man had been in a physical altercation with someone. Here in the United States, he would have been indicted by a grand jury just from the fact that he was the last person to see Revelle, and then with all of the fingernail scratches, the condition that his hands were in, the scrapes, and bruises on his body would have been enough to convince a grand jury! He was the last person to see her. There are thousands of "One time only killers" out there walking the streets. This is where an individual has murdered someone and disposed of them, and then they never killed again. They go on to live normal, ordinary lives and grow old and die -- with their loved ones never knowing that about them. They take their secret to their graves! It's sad that her parents died without ever knowing where her remains are. I hope that her last client will someday be held accountable and sent to prison for killing her. He did it! .

She was facing alot of jealousy, to be original, and inspire others etc and not get what she truly deserved is unethical also there is a big chance that others partially saw her perspective yet we all know how by standers operate. Her family was jealous and they saw a chance to kick her down when she was already down feom depression that everyone experience but yet called it "crazy".

What is in texss???

Awesome thank you

Revelle chose a very dangerous profession in which to support herself. I can't help but wonder what profession she would have gone into had she lived and actually relocated to Japan. Final thought: No disrespect to Mark Coulton's 58 years of living, but he has aged rather badly. Could be from the stress of a guilty conscious. 🤨

Another great video!❤

Revelle deserves justice and to be properly laid to rest by her surviving family. I hope they find her remains so she can have a funeral, and I hope her killer or killers are held accountable. Given as this was the mid 90s and Christ knows what was going on in the Balkans at that time, I can’t help but wonder if the two Serbian / Yugoslav clients were horrendous war criminal types well accustomed to doing what they wanted to women and wouldn’t have thought twice about hurting a call girl, and getting their mate to cover it up afterward. It was a really brutal time in that part of Europe and many terrible crimes were inflicted on people by those involved in the military and local militias - violence became the norm and women and girls in particular really suffered 😢

Hi Oddie. I remember this case. In 94 i was 20 and working in Woolloomooloo. On friday nights I'd take the Newcastle train home for the weekend. I used to do stupid things like walking home late at night from paddington to randwick but cut through centennial park. Having been raised in Newcastle i didnt have the fear i should have had. I think the Soldiers Point Revelles mother lived at was in Port Stephens not the central coast. There is one at Norah head, i think they just reported the wrong one. I danced on pool tables at Selinas but i kept my clothes on. My local at Randwick was the DOG. Thank you Oddie for walk down memory lane.

well this doesnt make me feel inadequate

Boredom and a way out of the vows attached to being a nun seem more likely the reason for this "possession"

I wonder if this house still exists. It was called "la Voulzie"; in France, old houses got a name.

Here is how I see it: the surfer was the coke dealer- she was scoring coke. The pimp couple who ran the “agency” are lying- Kelly was the alibi. There were no “Slavic friends “ that was made up. Who’s protecting the agency? I assume that she had a big coke debt- regardless of her lifestyle, she was beautiful, young and someone’s daughter. This was done well- I never knew that Sydney had a shady side. Love the stroll down memory lane- sad when a pub house loses its “charm.” I always thought you were from England, your accent sounds more British…😬sorry.

I look forward to every new upload by Oddie because I know it is going to be a great case

great video as always. As an assuie, i remember seeing Revelle's face on the cover of Oyster magazine. Feel very sad for her parents. Particularly liked the personal touches at the end of the video, showing us your old stomping grounds.

Today's generation woman like gerda is not only rare but almost impossible to find, women like gerda are gifts from heaven.

Boy, you almost gave away how old you actually are!! LOL!!

at 3 and 7 you would think that they would have bonded with abby

Always a great story Oddie❤

Lovely gramophone too. What a nice thing to own!

The guy checks into a Hotel hoping for a bit of peace and quiet. Judging from this report : he was disturbed by maids bringing towels or wanting to clean his room who listened to his phone calls and watched as he went out of the hotel . And then they all decide he was weird.!! When I book into a Hotel I DON'T want staff knocking on door every 5 minutes to ask if I need anything..!!

if rodin would have married her he could of gotten her out of the asylum

i think the brothers and the twin sisters would have made a marvelous match.

Crowley gets a bad rep for being too liberal for his time. All the bs about him rapin and killing are rumours at best

Whoops 🤭. How did I miss this! 😊

GDay. ❤

💙🔥💙 #RIPRevelleBalmain

Oddie - the photos are phenomenal! Thank you for all your hard work!! 💖

Greetings Oddie! 😊 So grand to see you!! ❤️ 😊

Thanks for the story! Got a chuckle out of the weed part. Getting the shit beat out of me, would make me say it was great weed! LOL. On the map, I think you can click on the road ahead and it will move you forward. Blessings to you and family.
