    I wonder if the baby actually belongs to him and his daughter. That would make sense about the way he killed the baby.

      Mary Lou didn’t belong to Charlie and Marie. I know Fanny gave birth to her. It is speculated that Charlie impregnated his daughter and that she was showing signs of pregnancy during the last days of her life. I’m sure there are things that no one really knows about that family.

      @@NerdEpix I was curious if the daughter was pregnant when he killed her. But if he did this to one maybe another. But it was a family secret thing to pretend babies belonged to the mother of the family when born from under age or unmarried daughters.

      no one will ever know if she was actually pregnant, and if she was with his kid. if you hear otherwise then think about this, how would they know ? this happened 95 years ago and they do not know factual.

    I've spoken to a few of the Lawson family members. There's a lot of nonsense people are spreading about the murders. Even in that book that was written. The owners of the grave site are not usually happy about visitors, so anyone thinking about going, you need to either have to have family buried there, or get permission to be there. They are serious.
    Do not try to go the property where the murders happened, because the property owner there will not be happy. There is literally nothing there left from 1929 left anyway.

    I lived a couple hundred yards from there from 1997-2002 the Lawson house was just through the woods to the right of the headstone about 100 yards , if you go out that gravel road to leave and you'll see an old barn when you get to Brook cove turn left and go all the way down the hill and you'll see some rock and stone columns on your left at Watts roads is private property but part of the old Lawson house there's a covered bridge up there and it has part of the old Lawson house as part of the covered bridge

    I have heard this story before,but wouldn't they have done autopsy to the daughter after the murders and they could see if she was pregnant. Maybe she was pregnant from her boyfriend. I read she had a boyfriend or they did the autopsy and they found she was pregnant but they kept it quite many possibilities we will never know.

    • @NerdEpix
