Lessons I have learned watching crime documentaries: 1. Never take out a life insurance policy if your spouse or someone you are close with asks you. 2. Always check for arsenic when you feel sick after eating food from the same person. 🤣🤣🤣

At age 23: her creditors demanded to be paid back. At age 40: Creditors were concerned about her paying her debt back. Me: who are those creditors, I want a loan!

Another Brief Case phrase that bodes ill: "stomach pains".

All these stories have a thing in common... the doctors of the era were pretty bad at their conclusions lol Great video as always BC 👍

The pressure of social status in these days was crazy.

Seems odd that creditors kept lending to her, knowing she had no way to pay it back. And, instead of just marrying a wealthy man, married poor men, twice. It doesn't really make sense. She must have been enjoying murdering those people and getting away with it. They always get too confident.

I’m always surprised that it was so easy for people then to get away with this, over and over. She was dead inside, a true monster. Love the way you tell a story. So well done. Thank you.

Found your channel a couple of days ago and have been binge watching since. Once I'm caught up I'm not sure how well I'll handle having to wait a week for each episode :'( Great program and very engaging. Thank you!

This is fast becoming one of the best true crime channels out there. Lots of original content that hasn't already been covered 100 times over. Keep up the good work!

It's a miracle anyone survived in those days of easy access to poison.

How mesmerized I get when listening to all of your episodes! You hold me captive with every one you do! This woman didn't get put to death but she was punished for her crimes by living a hard life until she died an old woman... Thank you Brief Case!!

Another case of debt, greed, and poison.

You unearth some really fascinating cases. Thank you!

Now this makes monday morning worth it.

Wow!! Imagine...the thought of obtaining things on credit with no means to pay it back... Thanks BC for this upload!❤❤❤

Omg , she's working her way through the whole family ! Lordy ! It always makes my day when I see another new podcast! Thank you !

I’m currently binge watching your stories! I’m astounded at the content and the amount of investigating you’ve done for each case, and your voice is very enjoyable. Thank you!

I don´t understand how someone can give a thumb down for such great vids like yours, BriefCase. They are always brilliantly researched, with many details and interesting content. I am grateful for your work. Thank you! Greets from Germany

You'd think someone that sociopathic would've just've broken down and married rich from the get. Ego will get you every time. As in so smart they're dunb/too smart for their own good/etc.

Why didn’t she just marry a rich guy?

This would make great story for Deadly Women on Discovery ID.

I can’t believe how incredibly gullible men are during these time periods. Also her sister was so gullible. 🤔

Keep up the great work! Love your case studies!

I do not understand, some of these beautiful women. Financially stable men who are smitten by them, that could have given her that lifestyle she always wanted. Still they truly believe murder is the answer. How does someone just kill family? Evil to the core, cold hearted and soulless. May God have mercy on your soul...🤔 Oh! Forgot, no soul. I guess the justice system didn't like executioning women. Some got life. Thanks again for another Briefcase💼 in time.

"The prosecution accused her of being a person..." They didn't have the strongest case against her then?! :p

Good one! I liked it as always! It’s interesting to hear how the lifestyle was back in the 19th century.

Clicked so fast, always a pleasure when you upload new videos, BC 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

good job as always Hugs from Sweden

Oh it's been a rough day and then BC makes it all better with a new upload! Thanks bc 💞

A lesson to not live above your means

Eeeeeeeee Time to watch this just before bed. Thank you for the upload! =)

Belgian fan here, I just started the video and... BELGIAN story?! Hell yeah, I m excited.

As per usual another wonderfully interesting story! It's horrible what people will do for money. TY!

Love it! I always look forward to a Brief Case 😊

Your narration always calms me!! Thanks to you i found out about so many stories and cases .Have a great week!!!🤗🤗

Your channel is a new find for me but I truly love it!! You've introduced me to cases I've never heard of instead of doing the cases literally everyone does!! I love that! Thank you for your great delivery! I'm sticking with this channel!! It's awesome!!

Absolutely love the old cases you do keep up the good work x

Another amazing piece of artwork and video. So interesting. Enjoyed every second. Excellent introductory music and magnificent voice 😁👌

Thank you Brief Case for enlightening us with another dark tale from the 1800's. I look foward to hearing about these sensational cases that you bring to life with your exceptional narrative skills. Keep up the good work & congrats on reaching your viewer goal.

These type of stories are my favourite. Great stuff!!

What a devious person! Amazing brief case....thanks again...I’ve enjoyed each one...🥇👍

The saying do not live above your means is so true!

11:00 - The most beautiful building I can ever recall seeing. Not until you look at the tiny people on the steps do you realize the semi-circle windows are 3 or 4 STORIES tall. It is inconceivable that they could perch that colossal dome so high up, rendered hollow by 4 spectacular, lacey skylights. The symmetry, ornamentation and proportion throughout are flawless. Sadly, now that Europe and America have been Africanized and the seeds of white genocide have taken root, the world will never again reach late Victorian levels of beauty in architecture, fashion, art or music.

It’s been awhile since you’ve posted anything. Keep ‘me coming😊 I enjoy them very much ❤️

People often speak of evil men. I enjoy hearing about the dark ladies. Evil comes in both sexes. I think women often get away with things due to beauty and charm. Fatal mistake. Thanks BC💜❤️ Always fascinating.

Always interesting, I love this channel

Thank you for another great video I like how you find cases that I've never heard of.

I really love the fact that you have put the accents on her name, that's what i call attention for details

I do not know where you get your information but keep it going. I really enjoy these real life stories. Thank you.

Phenomenal channel I'm hooked everything about it from start to finish is great! Very authentic, simple yet effective. 😌👌

The game remains the same. Nothing ever changes. Terrific work as always BC. 👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you for the brilliant upload ~ hugs from Scotland :)

Good morning. A wonderful way to start my day. Thank you

Thank you, Brief Case. Well done as always.

You videos are always interesting and informative. Thank you

It's crazy how people will care so much about their outward appearance that they'll even murder for it. And who they are as a person is the lowest of society. But hey this one was dressed nicely. I'm so glad I don't care about that crap.

Monday morning sure looks fine 🙂 getting toasty and cozy for another BC! Thank you kind sir for making Mondays exciting!

thank you, love listening to the stories.

First time to click early,thank you BC, this maybe unusual but these help me sleep.So I need to rewatch it in the morn.

I’m glad I found this channel. Very interesting cases.

Another interesting and informative article. Keep up the awesome work. 😘💓💕

Ah yes! Coffee, pumpkin pie and Brief Case...all is right in my world!

Thanksgiving leftovers and another episode of Brief Case!!

Marie Thérese's mother, a middle-class woman of her era: *WHY would she* have ever 'worked' outside the home?

I'm so glad I found your channel. I guess the old saying is true. The desire for money is the root of all evil. Can't wait until next week

Hello I'm early another well researched video thank you Mr brief case .

you always make my Mondays

I love your way of telling the stories Splendid, thank you!

Yeah!!! Another video from Briefcase!!! Thanks.. listening to this as I get ready for work

Thank you, Mr. Brief Case!

Love it to hear about stories from my country - I never heard it before!

Marie was a real manipulator, user and a con. I'm sure she was a real source of pride n joy for her family. She wasn't very bright either. Not a nice person.

Great stuff as Always B.C.

I can’t help but wonder about the death of her daughter. After hearing what you’ve told me I wouldn’t put anything past such evil.

I wonder how many people were poisoned to death but their bodies were not exhumed or were cremated.......Quite a lot me thinks.

The story's are so interessting. Like this channel so much. Thank you very much.greetz from the Netherlands

I have to have CC on because of hearing problems, but it cracked me up when he would pronounce her name. It's like CC just gave up and skipped the name entirely like..... I have no idea. Lol

Your video makes it worth having to wake up at 6 am for college :,)

💜🦄 I know I'm late, but just have to say that always, always love your presentations! Very classy, in a dark and sinister way...xoxoxo from south Florida...huge fan too 🏖❤

As soon as debt was raised as an issue I knew she'd be looking for insurance eventually... Nicely presented as usual....

EXCELLENT presentation as usual Sir. Always impressive.

Thank you. Fascinating.

Truly A Wicked Woman. Thank you BC. I got a chance to listen today Monday 1-00 am Sydney Aus. Time. So Tomorrow , Yippee. Hope Everyone Has a Good Week.

This is a nice video, I'm from Belgium (went to school in Mechelen) and I have never heard about this. Very cool! thanks!

Greed, narcissism turned her into a monster

Why didn’t she just marry money? That was beneath her, but murder wasn’t? I guess she liked murder.

Thanks for posting 💜

Really enjoyed this video, very interesting .

Love this channel!!

While I understand selfishness and greed as the likely excuses for why a person may commit such crimes.....I'll never truly understand the ability to murder one's own family.

After studying this case for more then 20 years, I have to say that the story you told is broadly correct, but I found some important incorrectnesses. For example: in two of the three bodies investigators did NOT found a deadly substance. In the third case they found indeed morphine. Specialist however, could not tell if the dose would have killed the victim. In those days, morphine was commonly used as a painkiller on prescription of a doctor. So, her sentence to death was not based on physical evidence, but on what we call nowadays circonstantial evidence (her debts). Being rich is relative. In the family you had factory owners, railway owners and e.g. Henri Joniaux had a salary that was 10 times the salary of a worker. But, I agree, the story is very interesting. You have to see it in the context of the (post)industrial period of a young country. Since Jack the Ripper in 1888 papers all over the world had their interests in this kind of stories and political parties influenced the papers even more than they do now. More of this in my novel: "Senor Carlos en ik". (Carlos was her stepson - novel not yet available in the bookstore - written in Dutch - 300 pages). And for the record: eventhough I have the same lastname as Maries husband: as far as I know we are not related. It's not dangerous to have a drink served by my wife at our place whenever you visit Belgium!

Good Morning! Another great story!

Very good, Thank you!

This is the best channel!

I’m only 1.13 in but I have to just pause it to say that either people’s perception of beauty was very different back then, or I really need to get my eyes checked. I just saw the picture, heard the phrase “extremely beautiful” and just sprayed my drink all over my iPad laughing. Sorry. Just wanted to share that.

I knew (barely) about this case and was very glad to know more about it. thanks. I am French and love your channel. for your information her name Joniaux is pronounced "jonioh" .

I also just discovered your channel, which I LOVE. I’m trying not to binge watch, so I don’t catch up.....😉

Thanks 4 the video BC keep up the great work 👍 see u next week

Me: That's a man! Brief Case: She was very beautiful. Me: * confused face *

Her own sister and brother even. Wow! No conscience whatsoever. Great story Thank you.
