IDK where you find these stories, but you do a great job and presenting the facts and allowing those who were murdered a voice in history.

She was surrounded by disgusting little men whom she thought she could trust. RIP Pearl.🙏

The saddest part of this story is that women still fall victim to violent crime for the same reason.

I'm actually quite impressed how the police identified her body without a head. At this time detective work was still it's infancy, and not much could be done to identify someone.

Once again we see that the “perfect” appearance can hide the most despicable character. 126 years later and people still haven’t figured this out.

What a horrible man her cousin was for introducing her to Scott Jackson.

What a senseless and cowardice act to murder a woman just because she was with child. I'm sure back in that time as we often hear that unwed pregnancies weren't socially acceptable, but to murder a young woman AND her baby to cover it up? Sadly, two people were murdered that evening- Pearl and her baby. 😢 I pray she's at peace.

Fair play to the police tracing her shoes to identify her back in the days before forensics etc. Rest in peace pearl, you did not deserve this ❤

So tragic. Poor Pearl. 😢 I tend to lean with the theory that Pearl was murdered and decapitated where she was found because the Coroner had said about the amount of blood in that location. As for those who visited the site to collect blood stained grass etc. including the shop owner which sold them, their actions were so abhorrent. 😤

Why would William introduce Pearl to Scott knowing that Scott wasn't very "honorable"? Also, why didn't he tell her parents where she actually was (when she didn't return)? I have to wonder if he was more than an accessory to what had happened.

Poor Pearl. She died in a brutal way. Thank you for this historical piece.

It’s so freaky to hear a story like this about a place you’ve lived before. It’s easy to forget about the lives of those who came before. Rest In Peace, Pearl and baby.

I will never tire of hearing you say phrases like “ someone of a rather reckless disposition”

IT'S NOT A MONDAY WITHOUT A BRIEF CASE VIDEO, LETS GOOOOOO

The police were diligent and the shop actually had the receipt with her name on it! So Pearl’s story is able to have an ending and doesn’t disappear into a missing person mist.

Once you hear “with child” you already know what’s about to happen with these videos 🤦🏾🤦🏾

Ugh. Another story supporting my opinion that there was as much bad stuff happening in “the good old days” as now. RIP Pearl.

What a horrific way to die. Thanks BC for another well researched case from the 19th century. 🕊

Poor mother and child. Very sad. Very brutal

It's not often I end a brief case without a firm opinion on what really happened in the crime, but I definitely think the accused were the guilty parties. Thank you for this distraction from reality, always much appreciated!

Lies and betrayal - what a nasty piece of work he was

I was delighted to know that Scott Jackson was found guilty. The trial made me nervous because of the unreliable witness, and the defense had a smart attorney. I was worried they would have a mistrial or that Jackson would be found innocent. What a relief he wasn't. Thank you for such a suspenseful story. I was totally intrigued.

Although two people paid with their lives for Pearl's murder, the exact story of her death will forever remain a mystery as there are still many unanswered questions to this day. Great work by the detectives of the time tracking down the makers of her shoes that led to the store, the city and ultimately her identification and family. Good story, Brief Case. Thank you for telling it to us.

Surely she was killed for being pregnant. Pity D.N.A. was not a thing then, else it would be clear who the father was. Some people can really be vicious monsters, with no feelings at all. We still have them today. It's scary as hell.

That poor woman. This breaks my heart. I appreciate you Mr. Bc thanks for your hard work

Why do I get the feeling Mr Jackson wasn’t just interested in young ladies! Great content as usual,you work so hard! Thank you. Have a grand week 💚

Brief Case-just in time for bed. I usually include my beloved cat in this ritual, but he passed away 3 weeks ago at the age of 18. Thank you @briefcase for your part in our nighttime routine. RIP Wolfie.❤

There could be a brief case every day and I'd never get tired of it, watching them rekindled my love of history so adding true crime to it is heaven and can only be presented by the best there's only one brief case

Poor pearl and the fact ppl went to where she died to collect grass and twigs…disgusting

It's one of the worst things when a killer doesn't give up the location of a victims body. If they already are caught, why not? I wish officials did whatever it took to get answers for the victims loved ones.

Best part of waking up on a Monday morning.

Great job from the detectives!

It almost surprises me that sick individuals were all around back then too. How cruel to her family. If it was me they would have been haunted by me and not had a moments rest until they hung. I love you BC. I’m never ever let down 😊

Good morning all from South Jersey USA

So, here I am listening to one more of your outstanding criminal tales, when I heard the town of New Castle Indiana mentioned. My father's father was born there in 1889; ok enough about me. It strikes me deeply how these trusting young women give their trust and hearts to men who lead them into "Love" only to be a victim of murder.... Well Done Thank You Looking forward to the next Brief Case 🤓

This case was the catalyst for the Bobby Mackey’s haunting in Northern Kentucky

Been following you for a long long time….just wanted to thank you. The enormous detail and research for such old cases, relies on, photographs and archival evidence. Your passion ‘speaks’ for those that can not speak for themselves….and should be honoured. We become witness to their tragedy - by honouring your gentle, kind delivery of the facts.

Yay! Another bedtime story for me! Thank you Mr. Brief! Sending appreciation from Australia!

The things we do for love...or lack of it. What a betrayal. She deserved better. Tragic story. Thanks BC.

Wow I thought the name Pearl Bryan sounded familiar! This is actually the case tied to an infamous haunted dance hall in KY called Bobby Mackeys. It used to be a slaughter house and it was said that they threw her head down a well in the basement. This was interesting bc not much has been said about Pearl herself and her life.

Poor Pearl.... just wanted to be loved and unfortunately, met with these monsters =(

well done to the detectives using the shoes for evidence and finding who the young lady was, and identified her as Pearl. Poor girl may her and her baby rest in peace, thankyou for this historical disturbing so sad story.

I find these cases in this era are fascinating but so scarey and sad

The young Jackson had already shown signs of a devious character, which his mother strived to conceal. An error if ever there was one. R. I. P. Pearl. Good story B. C.

What a wonderful way to start my day with an amazing story from Brief Case!! This case is very disturbing,my heart breaks for Pearl and her family!! Thanks B C for your hard work,keeping us informed of these interesting stories!!!❤❤❤❤

Such a horrendous murder RIP to her

Another AWESOME ...BRIEF....CASE!!! Poor Pearl...that wasn't fun to hear, but thank you for the great content, my friend!

Good morning! Such a very sad case of a 23 year old young woman who was killed at such a young age. Mr. Jackson was not a man of good morals I guess and because she became pregnant he didn’t want to marry her and decided to kill her that’s what it seems. Taking her head was just really barbaric and brutal and to this day not being able to find it is really sad. The things that people would do to get out of a marriage or not be a father during that time was horrific. Also the fact that she was pregnant makes it even worse she had a living and breathing child in her and he killed her in a way that I can’t even imagine. Knowing what she went through as he was killing her breaks my heart ♥️ R.I.P. Pearl and Child 🙏🏽🇬🇧🇵🇭 Thank you for another great story I hope you have a wonderful week and looking forward to next Monday!

My God, how can you be so Evil just because she was pregnant

Once again a well told story! I’m impressed with all the hard work you’ve put into this. I’m also impressed with the detective work of the day with the shoes showing the owner’s identity! A very sad story though but it was interesting and glad those two got what they deserved.

Great detective work. Poor Pearl.

I love the way you tell these murders u have a lot of compassion I am History lover.I am so glad I found this channel. Sending❤ from Dublin Ireland.

Identification by her shoes? Amazing skills!

I'm honestly surprised you didn't cover this case years ago. This is one of the best known cases in the U.S. especially when it comes to paranormal.

Brief Case is one of my favorite channels! As always, GREAT storytelling.

Good morning Briefy! Thank you once again. I am always waiting for your video ebery Monday. You always deliver! We're having a heat wave here in Finland, even breathing is too much. But your vid was like a soothing cool breeze! Thank you :)

Great but very sad story that took two lives that day.... Luv the way you portray these storys word for word.....Thank you❤🎉 ❤❤

I heard this story in much less detail being interested in the paranormal, Pearl's ghost is one of many linked to Bobby Mackey's Music world because of one reason or another, Bobby Mackey's is super haunted. It's nice to see Pearl get her story told alone without a connection to the hocus pocus.

Good morning Brief Case.

I'm really impressed with, having limited resources and technology, that the police not only found out who she was but solved this case. Thanks BC 😊

I always enjoy your videos and that you give a voice to unfortunate victims in the 19th century. I am also very impressed by the police that managed to identify her by her shoes. But back the they usually only had one pair of shoes and the were usually custom made. Thanks again for another great video BC. Greetings from Norway 😊

Respectfully done, as ever. I really enjoy your turn on of phrase, so relevant to the era despite cads and mountebanks being in abundance! I am thinking that a*oration wasn't legal then? Good wishes to you, all you love, and followers worldwide x

Thank you BC for another fascinating case and for Mondays so much brighter.

It's 4: 30 in morning 🌄 in Puyallup Washington USA 😂😂❤❤. Have a great week.

Actually really impressive police work on this one.

Thank you as always Brief Case, it's always an intriguing start to the week with your true crime and history lessons. 🙏🖤✌️

Even though, I've heard the story many times you're the first one to include some details of never heard thank you Thank you BC.. Oh yes them men was GUILTY that fact her head has never been found 😑

I thought you said they found cocaine in her stomach so maybe she died from an accidental overdose. Perhaps they gave her that to sedate her and overdosed her before beginning the procedure. "Throughout the 1890s, doctors administered inappropriate doses of cocaine to patients causing toxicity, which was potentially fatal."

Another excellent episode of a very tragic event, thank you Sir!!!🙏😢⚖️🤔❣️

There are "cads" everywhere and every century. I'd like to think we as females are getting wiser, but these things still happen. And I know it all goes both ways - schemers and innocents on both sides. The sun has come up and it's a beautiful morning and soon I will be taking the ferry home to Whidbey Island for my weekend. Thank you BC for a great story!!

I was waiting for another one of your lovely Monday morning uploads. With a cup of tea, will certainly make my morning better. 😊 Thank you for the interesting content about crimes from the past and through out the world.

Got my coffee - let’s go! Thanks BC ❤

What a sad story, poor Pearl. Back in those days, being "with child" and unmarried was disgraceful. Society has come a long way, certainly not for the better. Thank you for another great episode BC.

Always interesting. I know that part of Cincinnati very well.😊 Thank you Peace 💕🇺🇲

You bring these people to life BC. I drift off and I'm literally there. Quality channel!!!!!!!!!

Ive read about her before. Its truly AMAZING how much work was done to solve this case. Truly great m dedicated people wanted to solve this.

thank you, another great case. Really enjoy your cases. Thank you for all your work.

I've followed your Channel for many years now, and I still live for Our BC Monday Fix 💙 Great narrative and thank you for sharing Pearl and Her Baby's story 🙌 Can I ask, out of curiosity. Where are you from BC?

I have a feeling that the theory about Jackson having Pearl's head incinerated is probably the most likely. If it hasn't been found in the many years since. I wish he would've told the family that so at least they would know. I love learning about these cases, I had never heard of this one.

Happy Monday to BC, Brief Cat, and all Casers. Hope you all have a wonderful week. 😻🐿🌞🦄🦋💐🥐🍫☕🥞🥓🍳

Thanks BC!👍 I live in Ohio. It's always interesting to learn of happenings around the home area. Thank you.

Pobrecita Pearl (poor pearl). My goodness this was horrid. 😢

Very enjoyable video. Poor Pearl🙄well done brief case👍🧚‍♂️

What a brutal thing that was done to Pearl. 😔

Good morning, BC, from Toronto 🇨🇦

Thank you for this video. I never heard about this case. This case reminds me of Ruth Brown.

Pearls memory still lives on. In Wilder, a town a couple miles from where the corpse was found, there is a country western night club called Bobby Mackeys. For decades it was the site of notorious roadhouses. Pearls head is believed by some to be on the property, perhaps thrown down an old well in the cellar. She is also believed by some to have been murdered by satanists. I never knew the real story behind her death, its now become folklore. Thanks for this story. Excellent research. Must have been a lot of hard work.

The research you did is impressive, I can only guess at how many hours it would have taken. Great work as usual BC, thank you for covering historic cases.

This was a very sad one so sorry Ms. Pearl and her baby

Poor Pearl. This is so sad.

The days when shoes were specific enough to be traced to the owner. While times were simpler they also had their tribulations. Women became pregnant more often then mentioned even then. It is just a shame it was stigma or death. In reality. Things have not changed all that much. Only the outcome . I feel for both the girl and her child.

What a kind person Pearl was…so unjust that she was put through that.

Crimey with my first cup of coffee! What a nice way to start a Monday!

B C is truly one of the diamonds in the coal mine and Keep up the great work !! . Much love and respect from Baltimore , Maryland 👍👍

I live in Indiana!! About 60 miles north of Indianapolis!! Love Mondays and a new Brief Case!!

Mr. Jackson was bad news

Hello BC, had a great outing today with my younger brother at this favourite shopping mall!

What an awful story - thank you so much for your excellent research and narration.

This is what makes Mondays start very well. Looking forward to the next Brief...Case.

Oh, my, I don't often hear stories about places I know well. But I lived in the Cincinnati area (both Ohio and Kentucky) for many years, and I live in Indianapolis now. What a sad story! From the autopsy, it is clear that the "botched abortion" story was false. I am glad that justice was done for this poor young woman.
