How can anyone live in a house knowing there are dead bodies hidden all over the place. That's very creepy. I enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you liked! Hard to imagine waking up in the morning and being asked by your mother - please go get that trunk and give me a hand will you...Thnak you for your support!🙏
That was one crazy tale!
Thank you. Enjoyed. Have a great week ahead, everyone!
Glad you liked! We thought at first there was a third body involved, but no - it was a red herring. We think there were only the two she was involved in. Have a great week!🙏
Once again I can't comprehend how a jury didn't pronounce a death penalty in the heinous murder of Madame's B. second husband. Also, that applies to the acquittal of her daughter it's unbelievable to me as well that she was acquitted. I personally believe that Madame B. killed her first husband, too. Do you know whatever happened to Madame B's daughter after the trial? Great investigating, presenting, backstories, illustrations, photos, and videos, too. Take care 🦋
Mmme B's solicitor was supposed to be the French version of our Marshall Hall - just brilliant apparently. It is rather astounding that she got off. There were some stories that stated the daughter stood up in court, dramatically pointed to her mother and shouted - she did it! She killed him! with the mother rising and saying "Shut up!" This was in one of the French papers but - as fab as that ending is, we could not get it verified by any of the British papers who had reporters there who would certainly have reported it, so we think it was part of the drama of the trial. No, we do not know what happened to the daughter - possibly she went back to Mexico? Her relationship with her step-father had been poor, so it is doubtful she was n line for his money at his death. Her mother was another women on the edge! Thank you as always for your support!🙏
Here you are again! Bringing great content! God bless.
Glad you liked the show! Thank you for your support! 🙏
OOOOOH!! What a FASCINATING story!! I reckon our Madame Besserabo was a bit of a black widow!! I suspect she murdered Hubby No. 1 for his money!! Hubby No.2's infidelity coupled with her money problems gave her a good excuse to "dispose" of HIM as well!! I'm not sure how much her daughter was involved in the whole affair!! I think she just did what her mother told her!!
EXCELLENT job, Robin!! ❤💞👍👏💖
We think so too! WHAT a character! Yes, we think she killed hubby number 1 as well! Her stories were just so unbelievable and she thought she could pull them off! Very glad you liked the show!🙏
It's interesting that these killers try to copy others that didn't get away with it.
Interesting you should say that! We have this theory that at least one of our mysteries that remained offically "unsolved" was based on another unsolved case a few decades before! The Ramsgate Mystery from 1893 czcams.com/video/1mjH8qmy6NM/video.html
seemed to us to be the template for the mystery of Julia wallace czcams.com/video/5Ds4pU-FnQg/video.html
some 50 years later! Hmmmmm 🤔
Totally numb
🤭
Those French! I was reading a book on English and French women murderers, and I'll have to say I got bored with those French with their "crimes of passion". Interesting which cultures take that more seriously when passing sentence. In this story, I'd hate to see what passes for justice in Mexico!
The Latin country’s seem to have a different approach to what constitutes a crime
Thank you for your support 👍
