THIS STORY:
Ottilie "Tillie" Klimek was a Polish American serial killer, active in Chicago. According to accounts, she pretended to have precognitive dreams, accurately predicting the dates of death of her victims, when in reality, she was merely scheduling their deaths.

THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
Joe Klimek was my wife’s great uncle. Her family’s story was that when Joe got sick he went into the hospital and Tillie kept bringing him food insisting it was better for him than the hospital food. When doctors noticed that he was getting sicker after Tillie’s visits they got suspicious. Joe was a really big guy, a blacksmith by trade. That’s probably what saved him while having such a high level of arsenic in his system.
thank you for sharing those details!! interesting, he was a blacksmith...big guy. without you, we would never find out all of those details.
What a wicked woman to poison all these innocent people. May all her victims find heavenly peace
Great video!! I am a retired police Captain, before I retired I went into the records room and went through the old files and sit there and read for hours. Now I am a genealogist and work on my family history
If you need help looking up people family history I would glad to help.
thanks Captain. I'll tell yo what, if you come across an unknown INTRIGUING old story like this, let me know!!
Wow What A Generous Offer Captain.. We ALL Appreciate Those Who Help In This Group 👍💯Thanks For Your Years Of Service Sir.✌🏻
Can you help someone in Australia find ancestors ?
Hi, Mr. Thomppson, what are your fees for the research? Are you on IG?
Btw, are there really two p's in your surname? Curious; never saw it spelled that way.
Interesting stuff in police archives. During World War 2 our city was home to the Air Corps navigator training program. Mid 1943 an Army female clerk was found dead of strangulation and laying on RR tracks semi secluded by vegetation. The case was never solved but there was hundreds of pages of reports and interviews.
So 2007/2008 a couple of my crime scene techs decided to try their hand at cold case investigation. Both were superb experienced CSI by this time with excellent attention to detail. Short story they combed and sorted every detail. They ended up with a Number 1 suspect, an Army officer. The officer had been trying to get into the victim's skirt for quite a while, so there were lots of stories from the WAC's co-workers in the office.
With the #1 suspect identified then came the hunt for the suspect. Again a long story but he had shipped out to the Pacific theater of war shortly after the homicide. He was killed in action somewhere, somehow. So you could say justice was served.
I was pretty proud of the superb work which took a couple months. The suspect was staring at the police the entire time in 1943 in their reports and beyond. We even were able to get photos of all the victim's co-workers, and I'll just say I'm really glad those hairstyles went out of fashion.
After retiring I dove into family genealogy big time. That lead to so many interesting rabbit trails uncovering hanky-panky in the 1830's and other embarassing stuff. But it also confirmed and fleshed a number of family legends, like my dad's mom seeing Russian soldiers in the central Netherlands(Holland) in 1918. Long story how that mystery got solved but thanks to a history buff in Holland I found the Russians were POW's of the German Army. Incredible as I'd given up ever discovering what grandma was talking about.
What a unstable and crazy person she must have been... Sooo many folks sick and died... Finally she was stopped.. awesome story you gave us👏👏👏👏
I am totally fascinated by this story now ....id never heard any bit of this tale before either, now I'm gonna dig in this one .......I'm on a mission try to find the exact spot she is at and try to track down some of her victims as well because this all happened so local to me.... gained priceless knowledge here once again thanks to you sir, this one was great
you find her, Part 2!!!
Go get her....🤗🤗🤗🤗🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Yay! Way to go! Smiles, We aways love more information!
Do my cousins friend monikas grave and her death spot close to my high school.
@@FacesoftheForgotten gotten some new facts on this one and its pretty intriguing to say the least.... first and foremost Tillies' cousin Nellie was just as sinister, and she got acquitted!...she possibly killed more people than Tillie and in fact some of her victims were own children!!....the most prolific woman serial killers in Chicago history next to Belle Guness and until yesterday i had no knowledge at all of these two so im all in on this one....Tillies maiden name of Gburek is the lot at bohemia national I'm gonna be searching for as well as the husbands and Nellie at some of the surrounding places ie Montrose and St Adalbert....also the homely face we see in these pictures here are actually some of the better photos of Tillie believe it or not!!!.....many pics of her taken throughout her trial and afterward show just how "unattractive" she truly was....the fact she was so brazen and cocky to her beaus and friends is just beyond me.....this woman looked like a hideous wicked witch and that is no understatement
Such a crazy, evil lady. So sad she's responsible for so many deaths. Glad she got caught. I even feel sad for all the innocent dogs. Great story telling & video 👍❤
@@pippadot679 Your welcome. I'm an animal lover & that is just so sad.
I agree. She practiced on the neighbors' pets!!! So evil.
Me too...I feel so much for the dogs, too.
Bizarre and fascinating story, unbelievably how brazen Tillie was. You bring up a very interesting point- she didn't have the charm and looks that some of the other alleged killers apparently did, who finagled their way out of conviction possibly. I appreciate that you talk about the times these people lived in too, a big part of the story. Awesome job Ron!
P
Jennifer, thank you for the beautiful job on those graves and this dreadful but interesting story. I hope all those poor souls are resting in peace. As always Ron, great storytelling on this horrible woman. /cringe
What a heartless witch!! 💔 those poor souls who unfortunately crossed her path and trusted her 😔 thanks for sharing this and the victims will not be forgotten 💛
This reminds me of a case back in South Africa in the 1930's . She poisoned three of her husbunds and two sons for money. Eventually she was caught and executed In 1938.
Also reminds me of Mary Ann Cotton in England who poisoned many husbands and family members.

Some of my favorites are when it's a snow storm. So Peaceful.
Happy New Year everyone!! Time to dig out the exercise machines!! LOL Tonights menu is already sitting on the bbq...can you smell the deliciousness in the air? A big pot of hot chili!!! Cornbread in a cast iron skillet and a tossed green salad!! I brought BIG bowls so you can bundle up in a blanket n eat while watching another Mr. Ron spectacular!! History at its finest!! So come on over n fill ur bowl, grab a blanket n there's all kinds of drinks, hot and cold!! Let's all sit around......when Mr Ron arrives....."We are all in!!"
Love cornbread 😍
@@KimberlyLew hot cornbread with melted ghee (butter)...mmmmmyum
Oh that sounds great!!!!!!
I love cornbread
Sounds wonderful!! Just in time for that cold front that's rolling in tomorrow AM.
Love these stories! Your a great storyteller Ron. Stay warm!
He truly is ....in my opinion also.
I have enjoyed every last video of his I have seen ...
He remembers the forgotten and respects them ...and not your typical celebrity as topics
I can’t stay awake to watch it, 🛌🌙 here in Italy it’s too late, night 1.40! I return now from work (airport) , the weather here it’s so creepy , foggy foggy night. 🧤🧣 I’ll see the video tomorrow ! As always you’re the best story teller Ron! Thanks for all the stories that you tell us! I love your channel! 🇮🇹 🙋🏼♀️
it will be taped and there for you Lila! Totally understand, I couldn't stay up that late either 😊 sorry
foggy night tho...prefect for a story like this.
I spent Christmas and New Year in Italy 2021/2022 What a beautiful country! I didn't want to leave 😕 What a wonderful trip. The people are so kind and the hospitality was out-of-this-world. We hired a private tour guide, he was fantastic and funny. I'm going back this year so much to see and learn.
@@patriciahall3111 i live in Venice I suggest you my lovely city, it’s amazing and unique! 🙂
Never ceases to amaze the depths of human depravity . May all the victims now rest in eternal peace.
Really should have fried for all the evil that was done to her innocent victims !
Really liked the angel statue close to the end. More proof that evil does exist. Bless the victims and the dog😢 Thx Ron
I can't wait to see this one! Ron you do such great job on all your videos! Thank you!
In those days poison was easy to come by and often very difficult to detect until there were too many 'coincidental' deaths. It made sense for a woman to choose this method since they usually prepared the food. Still, it's hard to imagine how a person could poison a supposed loved one and watch them suffer and die.
Shout out to Jennifer and Jessica!! Ron love your stuff. Excellent story today
What a sick twisted evil person she was. I don’t think she is resting in peace either Ron. Awesome job telling this story. 👍🏻
She was so wicked. May the ones she killed rest in peace. Happy New Year, Ron. You are an awesome storyteller! Stay warm, take care, God bless you, stay safe.
Jet noise never bothered me none because I lived for 8 years within 2.5 miles of a air force base right in the direct plath of the runway. This women is a the true definition of a Black Widow type personality. Aircraft noise has never bothered me one bit because I now live one mile of a level 2 trauma center and all the noise that comes with it.
I live within few miles where Wurtsmith AFW was once. You get used to it.
You are very talented at telling a story. Thankyou for remembering the people we have lost. Very important
My Dad is buried there, thanks for the memories I'm going to visit him soon!
This was a very intense story! And you did a very wonderful job of telling the story! Thank you and I am happy these people are remembered!!
Loved that grin when you said "Let's go look for her". Reminded me of when I took my kids grave hunting for Billy Cook (serial killer in Missouri 1951) and the grins on their faces lol. Great episode! Really enjoyed this one. Thank you.
Sounds like someone was trying to compete with Belle Gunness! I'm of the sort to think 98%, Belle got away. I love the research you put into a story as always. I'm planning on finally doing some of the same thing here in Seattle, and I can blame you. In a good way of course. Happy New Year to you and yours! I'm gonna write a short film about one of these someday, I swear!!
There was nothing funny about this horrible woman killing so many people.
But, I did have to laugh when you said she gave people poison candy, as I was eating Christmas candy at the time! And then when you said, she told someone, oh, he's not dead yet, that's in 10 days! She definitely got cocky!
Thanks Ron!
Wow…..I just commented yesterday that that my brother was killed in Vietnam in 1967. PFC Donald R Petersen. A marksman in marines. Whole family is buried there. God bless & stay well.
🇺🇸
Thank you for all these fascinating stories of peoples' lives Ron. I'm so glad I came across your channel last year. It's so peaceful to listen and watch you. So good for mental health thank you xx 🇬🇧
My grandmother's maiden name was Kupec. She was Hungarian and they name is pronounced like the beginning of coop (as in chicken coop). I would think Polish is pronounced the same. I don't know how, but we have some Polish traditions and foods in the family. I think back in the late 1800's those countries were close together and people mingled. We also have Czechoslovakian in the family tree.
Another great story Ron . Enjoyed it .
Ron, love your channel. Interesting truths and histories. I believe I’ve watched all of your videos by now and your live streams. Please don’t stop any time soon.
Wow…just wow 😮. My hubby does most of the cooking 😳 😂 hmmm 😜. Thanks for sharing
I can't imagine the wicked things she said to those kids while "taking care" of them
I had never heard of her! This story was gruesome but so interesting!
Always enjoy your videos, Thank you for all your hard work. Very interesting to hear about some history that's been forgotten. I find your videos informative, interesting and entertaining. Thanks again and have a Happy New Year.
Every Sunday, waiting for these videos, the best!!!!👍🏻
Health and blessings for you and all your family!!! Happy New Year 2022!!🥳
Just wanted to say Happy New Year.!! I would also like to thank you for putting out interesting videos. They really helped me get my mind off my chronic back pain. They seem to help me relaxed and to think about how everyone is going thur pain /despair 💔. It makes me realized I not the only person suffering on this planet!! Keep us informed 👍
Hope your back heals and you find comfort.
Can't wait to hear this one! Happy New Year from Iowa
People like this get a trip out of taking someone's life. Makes them feel powerful and in control of others. Very cold, disconnected from life and she came from a bad seed.....
Love your work & appreciate all the effort you go to for us to watch these 💛 Happy New Year 💛 from Australia
Great work Jennifer & Jessica! You have done a beautiful job with the grave sites and those pretty flowers 💐 That takes some really special people to give so much time & energy as you two! I’m sorry but I thought Tilly was a man! She just doesn’t look like a real woman!
Very interesting.. wonder what made her so evil
Another fascinating story, thanks Ron! I think she got some type of sadistic satisfaction out of these poisonings ! It seems she thought she would never get caught. May all her victims rest in peace.
Geez, that was one evil woman! Odd that no one got suspicious sooner.
Loved this video Ron, delighted you tried to find her grave, I'm fascinated by the psychology of serial killers and wonder what she experienced to make her so deadly!☠
Happy New Year to you and the team💚
Great story Ron. No one tells them like you do!!
It's too bad the investigative technology to detect arsenic wasn't advanced enough until later. Would've been nice to catch her before she killed so many people. You have to be a pretty ice cold person to do what she did.
The greasy poisoner would be a good bar and grill or good restaurant name:P
don't eat there Amanda!!!!!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten haha Ron. :)
Love the jets. "No no, he hasn't died yet. It'll be 10 days." Wow. What a nut job.
that was the craziest part I think.
I can't recall how I stumbled upon your work, but am so glad I did. Just realized, in this video, that we share Niles, Il. as our 'hometown'. Tho my family moved from there when I was 3 years old, my beginnings were where yours were and now I know why your 'accent' feels like home. Keep up the great work! It is well done, and well appreciated.
wow, very cool!!! Niles!
@@FacesoftheForgotten , indeed. :)
Faces of the Forgotten- After I left Chicagoland, I relocated to Marshalltown, Iowa and I'd like to invite you to visit here and see for yourself the history and beauty of Riverside Cemetery. It dates from 1863 and in the 40's and 50's was considered one of the 10 most beautiful cemeteries in the country. We think it still ranks right up there! It is a 100 acre site with 24K+ souls resting there. Victims of the Spanish Flu, former slaves, town founders, a murdered 'bootlegger' and family members of screen icon Jean Seberg among them. There is also a legend of the haunted mourning chair that has garnered its share of attention. If you should choose to come our way, my husband and I would gladly pay for your overnight accommodations and, having just checked with her, I can could guarantee you'd get a first class tour and history lesson with the Manager, Dorie. Please let me know if you are interested! I SO hope you are! Thank you.
What another crazy story! Thanks for bringing these to us.
this was quite the evil woman!
Wow, what a charming lady, lol😂 great story, thank you for sharing💜
Great job Ron! I’m so glad you did this story! Thanks for the shout out!
right on!!! thanks for the lead.
I offer all my love and will pray for all the persons, pets, children that passed on because of this very sick women.
Wow, what a story. This woman was diabolical and cunning. How could she get away with so many murders. She has lifeless cold eyes. She was scary looking. 😦 Another great story Ron.👍👍❤❤
Thanks Linda!!! 👍❤️👍
Happy New Year, To Mr.Ron and All
The Gang Members....We Are in. ✍️...
Blessed new year to all! The Gang
Love your videos as they are so interesting. Thanks for all the effort you put into these.............................
HAPPY NEW YEAR
A heart attack for a heartless killer. How ironic
I just watched a tik tok about a little girl that died and they placed a dog statue next to her grave. She loved the statue and would always pet it. I believe in West Virginia. How do you find out background stories I’d like to know how she past etc?
Hey Ron and gang, 2022 and WE'RE IN!!! hope your New Year has started on a wonderful note, PEACE LOVE AND HAPPINESS, TOO ALL!!!!
My grandparents got married very young. My Grandma was 17 and my Grandpa was 20. They were married 70 years and died less than 24 hours apart. That’s a true love story I hope to have one day.
Are you sure she was psychic or was she just psycho?
Happy New Year from Washington State, Ron!!
Some people just don't know when to quit while there ahead!!!!
Happy New Year Ron!! From Joyce on Cape Cod.
She sure had a lot of hate. Way sad to many died and Thankful for the ones who didn't die. She was a really tough woman but after so many husband she should of been caught. Today world is about the same people do crimes and walk free. Again very interesting to watch but it another wow episode. R.I.P victims. Take the best care Sir and the Gang. Until next time! ❤🇺🇸
Way TOO many, Cathy.
@@russellishihara8390 Yes way to Many!
Thanks for this video I love the older stories you tell!
...and the great videos continue. Thank You Ron.
lots more coming!!
Hi Ron? HAPPY 2022 for you, your family and all this fabulous gang.
There are a lot of gorgeous monuments in that cemetery. She was a sick and scary lady for sure! With her looks, I’m not sure how she managed to snag one husband, let alone several! 😜 😱
I Agree
All nice looking guys too
Ron mentioned she was a good cook. Her food was away to theses men heart. So she knew how to charm them. It's a sad, sad world out here, even today! We have such a forgiving God and what I have learned growing up in church, if you take your own life, you are NOT forgiving! If you take someone eles life you repent and you are forgiven. To this day, I don't understand stand it😢
Hi Ron ! I really enjoy your videos. I really enjoy going to cemetaries. Wish I could learn about all the people.
Theres that meme of Gene Wilder and I can't unsee the resemblance! 😂
I saw Tillie's story profiled on the TV show "Deadly Women." That reported her as an abused wife whose first (?) husband was an alcoholic. She got fed up with him finally and slowly poisoned him. Aft,er that, she began to pass herself off as a psychic, "predicting" the deaths of subsequent husbands and neighbors she hated.
Great Sunday video! Thank you!
Hello! The pronunciation of Kupczyk would be close to “koup-tschik”. (Just like “Koulik” in Nellie’s name, which was most probably spelled “Kulik” originally). It’s a funny surname meaning “little merchant” (merchant is “kupiec”).
In those times, female murderers often used poison, because you could buy it at the drugstore or whatever and say that it was for the rats or bugs in your house.
What a wild story! Can't believe anyone could really do such a thing. Makes me think of the "Merry Murderesses" in the musical "Chicago.
The description of a community riddled with poisoners (~16:30) sounds like a good premise for a cheeky horror flick.
Psychopaths do walk among us,,, 😬
Good - day and a Happy New Year'Cemetery sauntering Ron!!! , with many macabre mysteries more to manifest:What an inhuman creature, her arrogance and egomaniac certainly contributed to her arrest! Too-roo! for now!! 🦋 🦋 🦋 ❤️
I like your videos because i love history and have respect for the dead,i appreciate the work you do and also thanks a lot to Jennifer and her sister for their kindness in tending those graves.God will bless those sisters.
Will u be going to Betty whites grave in Graceland cementary in mineral point Madison Wisconsin
maybe in spring or summer, right now i'm goin on the road south!
Definitely a "sick" tradition she should have been found out early on. RIP to the victims and to her, enjoy the heat.
It’s just amazing to me that all that energy went into killing other human beings. Imagine if she had used her efforts for good!? The poor families and loved ones that were left to mourn. I’m glad she was caught.
Great story!
Oh I remember hearing about her.
The lady as a resemblance in the face to the late actor Robin Williams
Hi Ron Happy New Year from cool Mesa Arizona
Wow very interesting video thank you 💗💗
Bit cold there, buddy...thanks 4the vids my friend, interesting stories, always explicit in delivery.
The statue at 11:36 is La Pieta (Michael Angelo). It is a sculpture of Jesus lying in Mary's arms after being removed from the cross.
I often contemplate those moments and think of the heartache she endured.
Definitely one dinner invitation I would have turned down. 😳 Heaven knows how I like to go out to eat! 😊 Thank you, as always, Ron for all you do to keep us informed and learning history every day. 🙏🏻❤️🥰 God Bless!
Nobody should criticize your pronunciation of foreign names! You do a great job!
Wow! Good storytelling! 👍
Would love to see this on Netflix.
I listened to you with my phone ear buds when I work my evening cleaning on in the western tech building by my self at night cleaning keeps me going 5 nights a week not lonely in this big building:)
Great story! I wonder if her escapades inspired the jazz song from about 1923, Whoa Tillie, Take Your Time!?
Hi Ron! Wow what a witch! And funny with that hat she looked like one too! Such a terrifying story…. Thanks for sharing that! I hope you can return to that cemetery and show some of the faces on the stones… seems like there were many you passed by…
As always I love your channel! You’re the best!!!
Happy New Year!!!!
Jeff ☺️
Wait...Did this woman live in the same house during the steady rotation of husbands? Neighbors didn't question that? Crazy. Thank you for the history lesson. Note to self....do not take candy from strangers. The grave markers here are beautiful, especially the lifesize angels. Thank you,
Peace
