to know what I'm using, I will list it down in the
description box down below. But other than that, I
will stop yip-yapping. And let's talk about Louise. Okay, Louise. She was born September 30th, 1880. But the crazy ones were in
like the 1800s early 1900s. I don't know what it was. Something was in the water. She was born in a Bienville, Louisiana. Did I say that right? Or prior to that? Bienville, Louisiana, okay? And her father was super wealthy. Oh yes, very wealthy man. He ran a newspaper company. And honestly it was very clear to Louise that she came from a very privileged life. At the age of 15, she would go on to attend a
private school in New Orleans. New Orleans, do you remember? A couple of videos ago,
I said 'New Orleens' I got roasted in the comments. I get it. So she goes to a private
school, New Orleans, but she wouldn't last there too long because she was expelled. She got caught stealing
from her classmates. And then the final nail in the coffin was when she was caught
engaging in some sexual behavior with other boys in the school, you know? So she got kicked the heck out. There was really not much
information about her upbringing. Like I was trying to figure out where her mom was at and stuff. And again, 'cause it's such an old story. It's like "Good Luck". So some of the details are
missing, but you'll get it. It's still a very interesting one. So she grows up very
privileged family, wealthy. Great. And then in 1903 Louise,
she marries her husband, her first husband and
his name is Henry Bosley. And he worked as a traveling salesmen. Louise seemed to like the fact that Henry was away all the time, you know? 'Cause he's a traveling salesman
so he's like not at home. And Louise liked that. Because while he was away,
Louise did indeed play. If you know what I mean? She was having many affairs. It's not very nice Louise. Anyways, so after four years of marriage, Henry comes home one day from working. Comes home early. He opens up the door
and what does he find? Louise's inside with another man. He's absolutely devastated. Like he's heartbroken over this. And because he walked in on Louise, the love of his life,
cheating on him, he was... He fell into like a really
deep depression, okay? And then soon after he
ended up committing suicide. Yes. It's rough in the
first five minutes, I know. After her husband's death, Louise decides to move
to Shreveport, Louisiana, another part of Louisiana. So she moves and she's
in need of a job, right? She's got bills to pay, she's new in town. Great. So she starts looking around for a job. And Louise figured the
easiest job for her. I'm not saying this is an easy job. She felt like it was an easy job for her. Was to become like a
high class sex worker, but she could make even more money, extra money on top of that
by simply stealing some money from her clients when
they weren't looking. So she would, you know, when they were like doing something else, she was sneaking off and like
taken some money from them. And Louise, she pulled these
tricks for about two years, but decided she was over it. And then in 1911, Louise moved to Boston where she wanted to change
her name for some reason she needed to rebrand. And she changed her
name to Louise M. Golds. Oh my gosh, I messed up. Oh dear. Sometimes you mess up your
eyeliner and that's okay. That's okay. I'm working with it, not against it. Okay moving on. Louise, when she's in Boston,
she gets a new scam going and she starts telling people
that she's a 19-year-old heiress from Dallas, Texas who has been confined to
a convent by her family. And she had run away. She had escaped. I mean there's no internet
back then or anything, right? So it's like, "Yeah, sure you are? Whoa!" You know? (laughs) I know we don't know too
much about her upbringing, but we know that wasn't true. It was fake. That was a lie. So Louise is kind of
spinning this web of lies while mixing and mingling with the wealthier families of Boston. Now it said that Louise
was a very beautiful woman and she was very charming. It's not long before
she manages to convince one of these wealthy
families to take her in like almost adult-adopting her. Very bizarre, but okay. But it's also not before Louise is up to her old tricks again, okay? She decides she was going
to start to scam the family, she would run up large bills at some of the most
expensive stores in Boston. And she was also stealing money. Not only from the family
she was staying with, but also their friends
and their employees. This is like the olden days
where you could be like, "Put it on the card." "Put it on the Johnson account." You know? And it's like, you could
just pay later or something, no one would let you do that now. But at this time, that was a thing. So she was doing that
like, "Put it on the tub." And yeah, she was who she
was running up a big bill, not having to pay anything. Now it's not clear how, but
someone catches onto her lies and like what she's
really been up to, okay? So they tell the family that
she's been staying with, "Hey, she's lying to you. She doesn't come from a wealthy family. She's been stealing money and
she's been running up a bill." I don't know. But I'm assuming it was
something like that, you know? Well, again, this is the
olden days, 1911 at the time. And the wealthy family
she was staying with was super embarrassed that they were duped in the first place. Their first thought was,
if anybody finds out, they would suffer greatly from
public embarrassment, okay? And that's like the most important thing, public embarrassment! So they don't want that, okay? So the family was like, "We're
not gonna press charges." But they tell the Louise,
"If you go away, okay? If you promise to leave town,
we won't press any charges." And she's like, "Okay, promise?" I mean, what a deal, no
lessons to be learned there. Sounds great. So Louise goes to Waco, Texas. Where she meets right
away, a wealthy oil boss named Joe Apple. Now Joe loves diamonds. Oh yes. He has diamonds on everything. Rings, belt buckles. Even the buttons on his
shirt had diamonds on them. And he loved to flaunt
his wealth to the peasants with their basic belts
and shirts, you know? So he's just a douche, a rich douche. Well, Louise sees the
diamonds and she's like, "Hell yeah, sign me up." She goes straight to him,
(indistinct) for that guy. And I don't know, I don't
know what her deal is, but she's able to get a man very easily. And things between Joe and Louise, they get pretty hot and
heavy, pretty quickly, okay? But the relationship itself
is pretty short lived. One week after they
met Joe was found dead. His cause of death, he was shot. But not only that, all of his
diamond jewelry was missing. Now, many had seen Joe
and Louise together. So naturally Louise was arrested. She was arrested the crime and she went all the way
to trial for the crime because it was believed
she was the murderer. But again, people just
really seemed to enjoy just like Louise. I don't freaking know, man. She sat on the stand and told the jury that Joe had tried to rape her. So she killed him in self-defense. She had no diamonds in her possession. So the jury they side with
her and it was self-defense and they find her not guilty. And she's released. Now, that's all fine and dandy, you know? Because like that does happen
and self-defense is important. But as we go on in this story, you'll start to question if
that's true or not, you know? So Louise decides, that
was a pretty close call. I mean, she went all the way to court. She almost got in trouble for murder. She needs to move again
and rebrand herself because now people know her in town. As this questionable woman. So in 1913 she picks
up and she moves again. This time she goes to Dallas, Texas. Look, I don't know how
she did it, but she did. She would find a rich guy on day one. It was literally weeks after being there. She meets and marries
a man also named Henry. No, no, no, no, no. His
name is Harry. Sorry. His name's Harry. He works as a night clerk at
a hotel called St. George. In the 1930s, St. George would
get like a $100,000 makeover. It was a really big deal. And the hotel would be
renamed as Hotel Whitmore. One night, Harry is working
his night shift at the hotel when a robbery happened. There was $20,000 worth of jewels stolen out of the hotel safe. He tells Louise, like,
"There's been a robbery, like all these jewels are missing." And Louise's like, "Oh
my God, that's crazy." You know? And so he calls up the police and police come and
they interrogate Harry. But he's eventually cleared of any involvement with
the missing jewelry because he doesn't have them. Investigators then look
into Louise, right? 'Cause she's been hanging with 'Harry', like maybe something's up with her. So they look into her
thinking, maybe she did it. But at the end of the day, there was zero evidence
linking her to the crime. And none of them had the
jewels in their possession. So it couldn't have been them. Now, sadly, even though they
had both been cleared by police Harry, allegedly, wasn't
able to really move past the embarrassment of being accused of stealing from the hotel. And it was said he fell into
a major deep depression, leading him to commit suicide. There's a lot of speculation that Harry did not
actually commit suicide. Rumors were going around that Louise actually was the
one who pulled the trigger. But again, there was no evidence to actually prove that was true. So it was just all speculation and rumors. But ain't that little fishy? That's three boyfriends who are dead? Hmm. So now Louise is done
with Texas and she decides that she's gonna move to
Denver, Colorado in 1915. And this once a fricking again, she meets and marries a salesman. His name is Richard Peete. She's like Cordelia. Remember Cordelia, in that
other episode I talked about? Not long ago, Cordelia? Louise's kind of similar to her. She was like beer flavored
nipples or something. I don't know. People just fricking
fall for her. (giggles) It's wild. Anyway, so they get married. These two, they get married and they go on and they have
a daughter named Frances Ann. They call her Betty, for short. And this happens about
a year after they meet. So like clock work, Louise, she seems to struggle with married life, which leads to the couple
to be constantly fighting, disagreeing about stuff. And then four years later in 1920, the two decided best to separate. So, they do. Louise seems to only have
about a four-year threshold of people and places because she then leaves
her husband and daughter. And then she moves to
Los Angeles, California. I don't know how she's doing it. I really don't. Okay, great. So she moves to Los Angeles. Wow. And guess (giggles) what? You probably guessed right. She meets a guy named Jacob Denton. Who was like a recent widower. And he had a teenage daughter. Leaving her own daughter to be a mother to someone else's child, It didn't seem to be Louise's
cup of tea, you know? She was like, "Damn it no." But it turns out Jacob
is also a mining engineer who made millions before he retired. So she's like, "Man,
I'll give it a whirl." You know? She's like, "Oh, whatever." She just sees dollar signs. Their meet cute love story starts when Louise inquires
about a 14-room mansion, she is hoping to rent. And what does she wants
a 14-room mansion for? We may never know, but she does. And Jacob, the guy, he's
the one who's renting it. And he's asking $350 a month
to rent his 14-bedroom mansion. And Louise is able to sweet talk him all the way down to $75 a month. First of all, $350 a month for a 14-room mansion in Los Angeles? A tragedy on its own. What the hell? Cannot even come close to relating, Louise. $350 for 14-room mansion? I know that was a lot to
them back then, but still. Anyway, so Louise sweet talks him. She gets him down to $70. Great. Louise moves in on May 26 and then she and Jacobs start hooking up. It wasn't long until Louise,
she proposes marriage to Jacob, but he turns her down. Saying that he was going
out of town for a month. And like, it just wasn't gonna work out. Wasn't in his schedule. And when Louise hears
this, she is quite upset. I mean, she always gets her way. I mean, nobody has told
her no so far, you know? So she's just really unsure what to do with these new emotions. "No? Huh?" You know? So now during this time, rumors
are circulating around town as to what role Louise
plays and Jacob's life. Is she really his living girlfriend? Like Louise claims she is. Is she the housekeeper? Is she the tenant? She never signed a lease, so who is she? You know, people aren't
just talking, gossiping, trying to figure out who this lady was living in this big old mansion
and where she came from. Well, a couple of days
after Louise's proposal, Jacob just, poof, vanishes, disappears. Gone. Now, he supposed to go
out of town for a month, but no one can confirm if
he did indeed actually go. So Louise tells the neighbors that, "Oh yeah, he went away for the month, yes, yes, I saw him off, don't worry. Like, he's just gone for a
business, calm down girl." And like, don't worry about it. 'Cause they were kind of asking like, "Where is he? It's been a while." And then sometime goes
on. Things carry on. But you know, people deep down
are having that funny feeling that something's not right with Louise. Hmm. So a few days later
Louise hires a gardener to come out to the house and spruce it up. Spruce it up a bit, you know? So she brings a gardener
in and she's like, "Hey, can you come into the
house and unload a bunch of dirt into the basement of the house?" Now the gardener is like,
"That's a very odd request. What exactly is a dirt
floor in the basement?" You know? And Louise tells him that she's planning on growing Jacob's
favorite kind of mushrooms down there as a surprise. So when he comes home, he's gonna be like, "Oh my God, mushrooms in my house, just what I always wanted." You know? Super strange, but she has money and these gardeners are here to work. So it's like, "Ma sure, we'll
do it makes enough sense." So they load in a bunch
of dirt into the basement and she's going to grow
some mushrooms, I guess. Then on June 5th, Louise
shows up to the local bank with a permission slip from Jacob to withdraw $300 from his bank account. And it's also giving her access
to his safety deposit box. Now the bank teller noticed
that Jacob's signature, it looked a little 'suspish'.
It didn't look so right. You know? So she's kind of like, "Uh, this is off, let me say something." So she out to Louise, like,
"This signature doesn't..." Girl's fake, you know? And Louise is... She just gives the teller some crazy story about how she had to help
Jacob write his signature with his left hand because his
right arm had to be amputated after he got in an argument
with the mysterious and very angry quote, "Spanish
looking woman, who shot him." Super believable, super believable. She's like, "Yeah, that's what happened." This is a real story. That's what's even better
about this whole nonsense. And the teller. I don't know. I guess she's like, "Oh
wow, that must have like, that does happen." I hear. And she gives Louise access to the money and the safety deposit box. (giggles) She gets away with everything. But Louise seems to be having a hard time keeping her story straight. Maybe she just doesn't give a
rat's ass I don't really know. But she retells the story again when she comes back to
the bank at a later time. But this time saying that
the woman cut off his arm and his leg, but this time with a sword. Very traumatic situation. She then said that
Jacob was so embarrassed by his amputated arm, not the leg though, but just the arm that he had
locked himself up in the house and will only speak to her and her only. So as the weeks go by,
Jacob's friends, neighbors, and business associates. They start worrying and they're
questioning Louise a bit. They're pushing a little bit harder. They're like, "Where's Jacob? We haven't seen him. Meow, Meow." And Louise, she just always had an answer. She would tell him like, "Oh, his business trip got extended. I'm sure he'll be back soon. Like, don't worry about
him. He's totally okay." Depending on who was asking
her story would change. Sometime he lost an arm.
Sometimes he didn't. It just whatever, you know? She's free balling it. I think I'm using that term correctly. Free balling it. I think I went a little
crazy with the blush. (laughs) You would think I don't
know how to do makeup today. You really would. Anyway, well, Jacob was
out of town, air quotes. Louise seemed to be quite
happy running the show. She was spending his money,
driving his Cadillac, renting out the rooms in his
mansion and just in turn, she was pocketing the rent money. Smart, I'll give her that. She bought two very expensive dresses at a local high end department
store under Jacob's name while claiming to be his wife. She also pawned a bunch of his jewelry and more valuable possessions. I mean, she is doing the most and she wasn't worried about a damn thing. She was like doing it so
confidently and very openly, there was no secret, you know? Squirrels' bold. I think, 'cause she knows she
goes pick up and leave again. She's not worried about it. Well, Louise found out. Louise found out that Jacob
had some rental properties out in Phoenix, Arizona. And she's able to contact the tenants and she convinces them to
start making the rent checks out to her instead of Jacob. Wow, you know, she was really doing it. She was, she was professional scammer. Okay, so you know how I mentioned earlier that Jacob had a teenage daughter. Okay, well, if you don't remember, look, he had a teenage daughter. And while all of this was happening, Louie's running around stealing money and just being a shady person. Jacob's daughter knows something is up with this shady woman. Now Jacob's daughter, she was living with Louise in the house. But my guess is that it's
a 14-bedroom mansion. So like you probably really
don't have to interact with one another. If your house is that big, that's what I'm imagining, right? She's probably like on the left wing and you're on the right wing and you never really see each
other unless you have to. So that's why I'm thinking she wasn't like so
concerned with the daughter. I don't know. I'm really guessing. But eventually the daughter really starts to question Louise. I mean, her father has been missing or gone for far too long by this point. So she's like, "You know what? I'm not getting any straight
answers from this Louise woman. Let me hire a lawyer in hopes
to help find my father." So a lawyer comes out and
questions, Louise, like, you know? "Where's Jacob?" And she just kind of blows him off saying that she really just doesn't know, he's on a business trip, but whatever. But she does agree to give the lawyer Jacob's financial and business
documents as soon as she can, it might be a few days until she can gather that information. But she'll hand that over to make sure there wasn't
any unusual activity going on, you know? Hopefully track where he's at. She's like, "Yeah, I'll
get that right over." At this point, Louise had rented out every room in the mansion. And she decides this
is her cue to go, okay? She's like, "Well, my
time has expired here." And she packs up her stuff and she ends up going
back to Denver, Colorado. What Louise does is she goes crying back
to her ex-husband Richard, the one that's taking care of the baby. Yeah. She goes crying back to him like, "Take me back, I wanna be a
family again. I miss you." Which is so messed up. And Richard is like, "Dude, I just been taking
care of our daughter for the last four months
and trying to figure it out and now you just wanna come
waltzing right back in?" Okay. So, you know, she's a
good talker or something. And she's like, "Okay,
let's you can come back. You know, let's be a family again." She wants to be a wife now. But back at the Los Angeles mansion, now that Louise is gone, Jacob's daughter, she decides that she is
going to search the house up and down and search
for any type of clues. Just anything, okay? Evidence. Something that will help her figure out what the heck just happened. So the daughter is searching the house and on September 23rd,
1920, she finds Jacob's or her father's decomposing body. He's tied up in like a number of courts. He's wrapped up in blankets and
he's buried in the basement. Mm-hmm. But he's buried like in the
basement under some stairs. I couldn't figure out if
it was like in the dirt. Maybe the dirt was preventing
people from going down there. 'Cause he necessarily in the dirt, he was under the stairs,
from my understanding. Either way, he was dead, okay? So the autopsy report determined that Jacob was shot in
the head and strangled. So Louise is obviously
their number one suspect. So the police try and track her down. They go out to Denver to question her. So they knock, knock on Louise's door and they're asking her, "Hey, did you have anything
to do with Jacob's death?" And she has a number of theories as what might have happened to him. One of them involved, a
mysterious Spanish woman who shot Jacob causing
his arm to be amputated. Like, "It must've been her." But no one was buying that theory anymore because Jacob's body still had his arms and his legs attached. So, no. And then Louise tries to
change her story again, this time claiming that
Jacob isn't dead at all that the body they found
inside the mansion, oh nay, nay that was not him. That was a double who
Jacob had killed himself. She's like playing clue or
something, I don't know. She thinks this is a
murder mystery dinner. Now at first, when I was
researching this, I was like, "Let me guess" They believed her, right?" Because like, everyone
seems to believe her. Anyway, so police are like,
"What do you mean double? Like, what do you mean? Does he have a twin or a
look alike or something?" And Louise, she had no answer for that specific question of theirs. So with that being said,
they placed her under arrest for first degree murder and
dragged her ass back to LA. Now here's where you probably think that those stories gonna end. No, it does not. It goes on and on and on. ♪ It goes on and on and on ♪ But okay, so Louise, she
does get arrested and she is, she does get put on trial for
the murder of Jacob Denton. Which starts in January of 1921. And it was the hot gossip at the time. There was thousands of
people lining up on the daily to watch Louise walk into the courthouse and like see what she looked like and what she was wearing and stuff. 'Cause they were interested.
They were super interested. Newspapers were reporting on this trial and they were selling like crazy. So the media was loving it
'cause it was selling newspapers. There was just something about Louise that had many people captivated. Anyhow, so the trial, it would
only last for a few weeks. And then in February of 1921, Louise, she was convicted
of first degree murder and she was sentenced to life in prison. Now, great, beautiful. We
love that. She deserves it. But there's more to the story, okay? Let me do my lip liner really quick. So during her trial and her first two years
of her life sentence, Louise's husband to remember him, Richard? He stayed super loyal and supportive. He pretty much was the only one who believed that she was innocent. I mean she wasn't, but
he believed that she was. Louise, she told them straight up, "Listen, you should move on, okay? I've been convicted of murder,
you can be free to divorce me and remarry like find
yourself a nice woman. You deserve it." This is what she's telling Richard. And now this was heartbreaking
to him, but he agreed. And he was like, "Fine,
I'll get a divorce." But he tells Louise that he
was gonna wait forever for her 'cause he knew one day she's
probably gonna get released and then they could be together again. There was just no other
woman out there for him. And Louise is like, "Yeah,
yeah, yeah, (indistinct)." Now something super strange happens. Let me tell you. Because as soon as the
two of them divorced, Louise, she stopped
answering Richard's letters and she refused to see him when he came to visit her at prison. Well, first of all, Louise
claimed that poor Richard, felt so guilty over her conviction and the fact that they're not together, that he committed suicide. I was trying to figure this one out because we know that Louise didn't do it because she was in jail. Great, right? So my thought was like, maybe
she put someone up to it, but like, why would she? You know? I was like, well maybe
he did commit suicide, but what are the odds that
every fricking acts of yours commit suicide? Like, what is this? This lady is deadly. They are drop in. I don't get it. I just, I don't know. But maybe he did. And then I feel bad, 'cause I'm like, "Yeah." Okay, so Louise, she's
using this to her advantage. She's telling others in jail that no man can resist her charm. And she's just kind of
using this to brag about it all over their husbands deaths, I guess. I guess maybe people are impressed by it. I don't really know. Well get this. So Louise started her sentence
at San Quentin State Prison before being transferred to like a Women's Institution
in California, wasn't far. But she was there for a
while and she plays the role of like this perfect prisoner. She's like, "Hey, I'm
so happy to be here." Like using her Southern charm
to make those around her just think she's such
a splendid little lady. She maintained the prison's flower garden. She worked as a dental assistant and even wrote for the prison newspaper. She would end up serving
18 years before Louise, was paroled for good behavior in 1939. Yeah, she's paroled for good
behavior at the age of 59. So she gets out, okay? So there was this woman
named Jessie Marcy. She was like lobbying
for Louise's release. When Louise was released. Well, she would go into Jesse's custody. But the deal was that Louise was going to be Jesse's
live in housekeeper, okay? I don't know the
connection between the two, but it doesn't matter because get this, it's like a sweet deal. But Jesse ends up dying of natural causes. Like not even a week
after Louise is released. I think she's awkward to
fauna in everyone's ass. She has to be, how is she she doing this? Natural causes? Where? Either she is killing them or people just are dropping
like flies around her. I mean, that's not a coincidence. Come on. Louise, then she moves in
with her probation officer. Her name is Emily. So Emily takes her in and Louise was like, "Okay, I'll work as your housekeeper and also as your nurse
and take care of her." 'Cause she's a little bit older. So this arrangement last long because Emily died of a
fricking heart attack in 1943. I mean, come on, why is everyone who comes
in contact with this woman just dropping dead? It's so bizarre. For some reason, police never looked
further into these deaths. Like since they died of natural causes, there wasn't much to look into. But it's also because
this is the thought here that the local police, they didn't look into Louise's
like past or Louise at all, because they had no idea that she was on parole in the first place. Because when she was released from prison, Louise changed her name to Anna Lee. Yeah, she changed her name to Anna Lee. (indistinct) Louise just has everything
all figured out. She's one step ahead. So after Emily died, Louise found another living
arrangement for herself. This time it was with an old
prison friend named Margaret and her husband, Arthur Logan. Now Margaret and Louise were good friends and she always thought Louise was innocent in the first place. Margaret did. She thought Louise was innocent, just the sweetest little lady. So when she heard that she was in trouble, she wanted to help her out. So she invites Louise
to come live with her. She was like, "Hey, if
you move in with me, can you be my living
housekeeper in trade." You know? But also if she could
be a nurse to Arthur, who was suffering from dementia. So she's like, "Can you be as nurse?" I'm sure you can imagine
where this is gonna go. But as we have learned,
something is off with this woman and Louise starts telling
neighbors these rumors. She's like, "Hey Arthur, yeah, he's goes into terrible fits of rage and he beats his wife,
Margaret every night." She's telling everyone this and she's telling them this rumor. And I don't know why, we'll
it'll make sense later. 'Cause she's telling everyone
this and they're like, "Oh my God, like that sounds so awful." And Louise is telling the neighbors like, "Don't mention it to them or Margaret, because like it'll just
really upset them." So they're believing it. They're like, "Oh my gosh, poor Margaret is just in an abusive relationship." Okay, so once again, in June
of 1944, Margaret disappears, nobody has seen her. Nobody has any clue
where she went, nothing. Three days after Margaret goes missing, Louise decides to put
Arthur in a state hospital. Oh, yeah she wheels him
right off the state hospital. I think this woman is the actual devil. Louise moves herself
full-time into the house. "My house now." I cannot believe her. So of course the neighbors are asking what happened to the Margaret and Arthur and Louise is telling them like, "Oh my God, do you guys, Arthur attacked Margaret bit off her nose and she's so disfigured that she's like too
embarrassed to come outside." Mm-hmm. That's what she tells them. The cycle continues. But okay, look right before
Margaret went missing, Louise had met a new guy. He's a banker, his name was Lee. And she met him and then
went on to get married. You know, how she does it. So she left out that tiny detail about being in jail for murder though. So he really had no idea. Plus, he thought her name was Anna. So they've been dating,
Margaret goes missing. And Lee had met Margaret once before and he's asking Louise like, "Hey, what happened to Margaret? Like it's been a while, where's she been?" You know, just asking,
just genuinely asking. So Louise repeats the same story that she's been feeding to the neighbors. But adds that after the attack, Margaret went into isolation and preparation for plastic
surgery on her nose. Now it's weird because Lee and Louise are actually living inside
of Margaret and Arthur's home for about six months. And he doesn't further wonder like, "What the hell is going
on? Where is Margaret?" Like he doesn't know or
question or I don't... Now it's believed that he
didn't question anything like what was going on because
Louise was forging checks and spending Margaret and
Arthur's money on herself and her new hubby Lee. Like, "You want anything?
I'll buy it for you." So maybe that's why he
didn't care too much. And didn't keep asking. I don't know. But that's what it's believed to be true. So the spending spree is cut short when Arthur dies in December of 1944 and the bank notices that
there are still checks being cashed with his forged signature. And that doesn't make sense
because Arthur passed away. So how was the dead guy
signing checks? Right? So the bank teller calls up the police who naturally head over to where Margaret and Arthur's house, where Louise and Lee are living. And they're investigating, they're just doing their questioning. They're like, "Hey, we had a call you're forging some checks, whatever." And they're just getting a
funny feeling about the couple, but no arrest was made. I think Louise was telling the
police, it must be Margaret, but Margaret's out of town. So the police was like, "Okay, we'll come back
in a couple of weeks when Margaret is back
and we'll talk to her." So the police come back
a couple of weeks later to further ask questions and maybe even speak to
Margaret at this point. But Margaret's been
missing for six months. So they ask Louise like,
"Okay, you know what, can we just look around the house?" You know, this is just weird. Like what is really going on here? So they're looking around the house and in the backyard, they
discover a shallow grave. It's under an avocado tree
and in the shallow grave is Margaret's decomposing body. Louise is immediately arrested this time only taking a couple of hours for Louise to be charged
with murder, again. So the autopsy report determined that Margaret had been shot
in the back of the neck. And she also had a fractured skull. So during questioning Louise tells police that Margaret was actually attacked and shot to death by her husband, Arthur, during one of his anger fits of rage. And that she had been telling
the neighbors about it. And if they didn't believe her, they should go ask the neighbors because they knew all
about Arthur's abuse. Honestly, I'll give her a point there 'cause that's kind of smart. That's kind of smart. I'll give her that. She's literally thinking ahead. You don't see that too
often with most killers like this is much, you know? So Louise admits to
police that in a panic, she had buried Margaret and
didn't report the incident because she was afraid that they would charge her with murder because of her previous convictions. Or, you know, because
maybe she murdered her. But she insisted she was
innocent. She did not kill her. So Louise's husband Lee, he was also arrested
and charged with murder and like his wife, he also
insisted that he was innocent. The murder charge against him was dropped because there wasn't enough evidence. So Lee was released, but
his freedom was short-lived because guess what
happens? The very next day? Lee jumps to his death off the ninth floor of an office building in Los Angeles. You guys, this is too strange. Because I don't know, I don't know if people are
just offering themselves. I'm not trying to be funny, but if that's the case or if they are being killed by Louise, but Louise seems to be
with in police custody. So maybe he did. I don't know. I just don't understand
how this is happening. I really don't like, are
they killing themselves or are they being killed? I wanna say that they're being
killed, but I don't know. Anyway, so for the first time, Louise actually shows some emotion when she learns about
her new husband's death. And she openly cries and she
tells her reporters, media and she felt she was the one
to blame for Lee's death. That's because you are. I wonder if there's
like some life insurance she's collecting on these guys
or what the deal really was. Because again, this is just bizarre. So Louise's third and final murder trial begins on April 23rd, 1945. It get some media attention, but nobody really cares
as much as they did as like the first time. So the prosecution believed
that Louise killed Margaret in order to gain control over
the Logan family finances. Which makes the most sense. The prosecution thought that
Louise got in an argument. There must've been an argument
between her and Margaret after she discovered a check
that Louise had forged, which then led to her killing Margaret. That's what they believe happened. And it must've been a
very compelling argument because on May 31st, the
jury found Louise guilty of first degree murder, again. But this time we received
the death penalty, okay? Not like in prison. This time she was gonna be put down no more of her shenanigans. Now it was said during her sentencing, Louise sat calmly reading a
book of Chinese philosophy called "The Importance of Living". And she only looked up once to make some kind of
mocking facial expression before going back to her cell. So over the next several years, Louise attempted to appeal several times. She maintained that she was innocent, but each appeal failed. Her day of execution finally
arrived April 11th, 1948, exactly eight years after she walked out from the
women's prison the first time. This lady has way too many coincidences going on in her life, huh? Anyways, Louise tells like
her friends in the jail or whatever that she's
ready, she's ready to go. And she calmly like walks from
her cell to the gas chamber and it was said to smiling. And she's like, "Yay." I don't know, "Yay." And everyone is just watching her as she's entering the room. Now she had a really big
crowd of people watching her, like one of the most ever. I
forget how many it was like 80. I wanna say 80 people were
watching her be put down, which is very unusual. As the guards left the chamber, one of them offered a
final farewell saying, "Goodbye, good luck, breathe deep and don't fight the gas, thanks." And at 10:03 a.m, the
deadly gas pellets dropped. And 10 minutes later,
Louise was declared dead. She was the second woman
in the state of California to be executed. Honestly, good. She caused way too much chaos. My God. Oh my God. And that my friends,
is the story of Louise. I don't even know what her
name is because she changed it. What was her name? Louise
P? I don't even know. Louise Peete. Great. So this story, it totally sounds fake. It totally does, but it's a real story. She was, I don't wanna call
her crazy, but she was crazy. Something was off. I don't even have any
words because it was like, "God, there's no place for her." I'm sorry, girl. Like you had many chances.
Oh, a lot of chances. And you chose violence over
and over and over again. Goodbye. I'm not a big fan of the death penalty, but in cases like this
totally makes sense. You know, like she literally proved that she doesn't want change. Anyways. I would love to hear your
guys' thoughts down below. I kind of love these older stories because the women back then
seemed to be real different, really unique, (laughs) passionate. Passionate killers, I must say. But I would love to hear your
guys' thoughts down below. I think I like this
makeup look, it's cute. It's my hair I'm not liking. I hate my hair. I'm having a very bad hair day. I don't know what to do with it. Anyways, thank you guys so much for hanging out with me today. I hope you have a
wonderful rest of your day. I appreciate you so much
for hanging out with me here and you know, just being a
