- Two flappers were murdered within a year of each other under similar circumstances. Both were performers and beloved among the societies they associated with. Who killed Lou Lawson and Dot King?

You should create a podcast version of this channel! Love these stories.
Hi there! I was referred to your excellent channel by Ron at Faces of the Forgotten. Keep up the great work. 😀
WOW! I first heard about Dot King's murder about 50 years ago in a book I checked out of the library about notorious murders. I could not remember her name, but I still remember her lovely face.
Oh man! I can't believe I just stumbled upon this channel. About three minutes in and I hit subscribe. This was really nicely done and great story telling. Great images and your voice lends so much to the narrative sequences. Plus I've never heard of these murders and I love the 1920s through the 1940s.
Just came across your video. I was horrified at first to discover that I Iive in Louise’s apartment. Now I like to think of her as my guardian angel.
What makes you think that she is your guardian angel?
@@markschiavone8003 it’s a nicer way of thinking about living with a “ghost”
@@DogMumsey , I don't believe in ghosts. There is insufficient evidence for ghosts and the supernatural
Just found your channel and really enjoy the content, I love vintage cold cases, thank you, new sub!!
Really well done. Thank you.
Okay I hope you are taking the gratitude and praise for your content to heart. You can count me among the many new fans who just came across you and got quickly hooked. These videos are *so fascinating* to me, and the cases are all new to me to! Keep doing what you're doing you've got a tremendous gift and your work is a great breath of fresh air for this lifelong fan of true crime. All my best!!
$75 dollars a week in 1920 is the same as $1100.00 a week today. So $500 was the equivalent to around $7000 a week today. But to say that $75 a week wasn’t a living wage then is kinda false. A new car was $900. The average person house was $3000 to $5000. Rent was $26 a month for a above average apartment. Bread was a nickel. Milk under a dime a gallon. So you get get my drift. At $75 a week in 1920 she was doing really well.
At 17.02 - note the newspaper's spelling of 'clue', as "clew"
Your pretty good at this storytelling, hope you keep it up, new subscriber!👍
Damn! That was told so well. Well done you, are going to become a success story on CZcams.
Just subscribed! You have fantastic content !
- (Lou) Six years to a Broadway cast of any kind, not to mention Ziegfeld? Even by today's standards (which usually means little or _NO_ kind of talent whatsoever without at least knowing someone), that's pretty impressive for her! I know that even back then they had some pretty nasty types that held the strings to fame, but a girl who knew people, AND let these people know that she had a nurtured cultural art entertainment talent from childhood as that young lady did - COULD actually go far - in time - when someone got around to noticing it... Like you said though, Broadway and the NYC entertainment industry was, and continues to be fickle! So, our girl switched gears, and that's where she paid the price!
- (Dot) Born in the Big Apple, she probably knew the score already, and those with looks whom rubbed shoulders with big shots of a certain caliber (excuse the pun) were the ones that often got "bumped up in the line", so to speak... She also was probably more aware of the possible consequences as well... A shame both girls met that end, but that was also life in the Big Apple back in the roaring 20s...
Subscribed, by the way...
Thank you so much for the video 😀
Louise Lawson was born in Alvarado Texas not Walnut Springs. The family moved to Walnut Springs after her birth. She was buried in Alvarado.
Love your channel. Curious, what kind of microphone is that you are using? Love the sound of it.
It's a Yeti from Blue Microphones
WoW. It's fascinating but dark.
Love the jewellery value. Get that ice or else no dice.
You have a fabulous voice.
This was amazing coverage of these crimes! I was riveted.
May they rest in peace. ❤ 🙏
The police and others were slow to act or didn't even try due to the perception that their lifestyles led to their deaths.
🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍
Really puzzled by your comments at the end painting these women as some sort of paragons. These were criminals/paid escorts. They didn't deserve to be murdered but they are exactly the kind of person who are putting themselves in circumstances where they can be victimized. Otherwise, your presentation was interesting and entertaining.
