Thank you so much!!

It’s absolutely phenomenal, isn’t it? So wish I’d found it earlier so I go share it with my Nana!

Right!?!

>She dodged another bullet by leaving Germany in 1925. very good point

Kina Kina, Hi I Agree with you 100 %. With hardly anytime to spare. Hitler and Himmler already were brewing up trouble by 1921 Germany I read. Could not agree more !

Remember, she was American by birth. I so wish the younger sister, Olga, had left her memoir.

Just a wee bit prejudicial as well as truly ghastly!:-) 🖖

Yes! At least some of the answers ! That family needs some closure.

I agree. Not to mention the dodgy telegrams he admitted to sending. I think he was guilty as sin!

@@carolannemckenzie3849 Thank you! I thought I was losing my mind seeing all these people thinking he was innocent (not even questioning his guilt, but innocent) as there's no proof. It was his MO to lure people out of their homes under false pretenses, that's what happened to the mom (and he did this to her before, and admitted it), and the maid said it sounded like Carl. If there was proof he bought a wig and disguise prior to the murder, what else do people need, what was the disguise for? Agree, guilty!

Dauntless ASMR, Hi I agree. Carl Hau was guilty, especially buying the fake wig, beard and coat. That was very suspicious. Plus the maid heard a voice that sounded like Carl Hau on the phone shortly before the murder. Like was also mentioned Carl was fond of luring people in like a spider to his deceitful web. Carl was just NOT trustworthy.

Or he was telling the truth about meeting her sister to clear the air.

The admitted twice that he lured people away from their home w/ fake telegraphs, then Mrs. Monateau (?) was lured away from her house (again, first time he admitted it) and the maid said it sounded like Carl. I have no idea where the mystery is. edit: and do they know for certain that he bought a disguise? If so, case closed.

@@susanivy3619 I’m about to say… very few excuses for purchasing a wig and fake mustache especially back then unless he was about to be in a production! I think he did it honestly. Who were their other enemies?

If he was having an affair with the sister, he could have purchased the disguise for her sister thinking that (of the two of them) he would be less likely identified or tracked. The possibilities are endless in cases like these. I don’t think the grandson is going to get the definitive answers he seeks.

Agree.

Agree 💯

@@derklavierspieler7491 the same could be said for his wife's family. He could have just as easily asked them. Maybe he was too prideful for his own good.

Who killed the wife then? I don't for a minute beleive it was suicide.I think he and the younger sister were in a affair all along but he had to marry the older one to get the " trust money" than the sister shot her mother and both of them murdered and set up the letters ECT.

@@jessicafain6630 He had probally used up and blew away everyone's money by this time living the high life.He probably gambled and didn't work but lived like a rich man, he was a bum who was about to be " found out"

@Jessica Fain, I agree with you.

If you're jeolous of your own sister, better figure out why..fast.

G'day Katydid!👋🦋🌈🦄🐨🦘🤗💖🥰🐱🥞🍓🥐🍫☕

Hi Kate 👋👋

Thanks for watching

@@BriefCaseOfficial My favorite for sure.

I KNOW 🙄 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well if your daughter said she loved a man so much that she would kill herself if she couldn’t be with him and then she got shot in what seemed to be some sort of suicide attempt or pact endorsing the relationship might seem like the best option. Given Lena’s later suicide it may indeed have been the best option. Also Lena was fairly old be unmarried at that time and by running off with Carl created a scandal that would have made it next to impossible for her to be married to a “better match”. Keep in mind this was at a time when you couldn’t just send someone to a therapist. Allowing Carl and Lena to wed keeps your daughter happy (and alive) and somewhat protects the family name. Or you continue to disallow the relationship and your daughter eventually either kills herself or winds up an unwed mother which was almost a fate worse than death. It seems Lena had an absolutely unhealthy love for Carl and some mental instability as well and lived in a time and place where there was no real help available to her. As Simon Whistler likes to say “the past is the worst.”

@@TGuard00014 excellent observation. There's so much in this story, and I love the way BC brings out these layers. Lina might have had bipolar, she was given to extremes of emotion. Poor girl. I did wonder how the relationship would end when she started marriage with some emotional blackmail. Not the best choice, if I'm honest.😁

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Thankyou :)

@martha I totally agree. BC is a treasure.

Thankyou

Problem is, do you know how unreliable witness testimony is? There were many witnesses but only one claimed to see him at the railway, very easy to be mistaken. Plus, I don't get why people don't take his MO into consideration, the fact he admitted to luring people out of their homes under false pretenses (the mom, for one). Then she gets a call luring her out of the home once again, and the maid said it sounded like him? IMO all they have to prove is he bought the disguise prior to the murder, if so, case closed.

Unless they had no conscience...

@@Flamsterette that's even worse. My conscience would cause me to be sick and yes, I tell on myself. Could be I have good morals. Someone sold me a jukebox and I found out it was stolen, police took it, much to the chagrin of my husband. I couldn't live with it. It was brought back a month later with a receipt, PAID IN FULL

@@dixiegeorge9665 Eventually, I'd like to think that someone's conscience would get the better of them, but occasionally it just isn't there. Good on you for the jukebox.

@@Flamsterette I knew how bad my husband wanted it but when I knew it was stolen, I felt dirty.

@@dixiegeorge9665 I understand.

Hi

@@chaosdromanah8620 hello!🙋🌞🌞🌞💚

Thanks

Thanks for listening

Oh, and the heart being put on display in the courtroom!?😳

No problem

@@buddah8706 🤣

It might have been for the shame of the situation that she was married to the murderer, times were different then and it was all about reputation and 'place in society'. Very good point. Good wishes!! 👍🏼 ❤️

@@janetcw9808 Yet Germany was quite religious, and suicide was a sin, or disrespect for the "creator" God. Having found out weak morality etc from a spouse is not near as shameful.

@@lorishu48103 Very much so! Viewing some of the videos I've seen, it's very sad how they were sure to commit suicide rather than be talked an whispered about in the community, also God forbid that ur not invited to spectacular balls or whatever was going on. Remember the abundance of blackmailers during that time? Wow, how times have changed!!!!🤔😔

@@vanessawilliams703 oh gosh yes - great historic points!

You have obviously never been in so much pain that death seemed to be the only option left. I have. It isn't very kind of you to be so judgmental of someone’s pain.

Thanks for listening

Thankyou so much

My mother took her own life by drowning, which is a strange method, as women usually choose overdoses and human instinct is to swim to safety. No condolences are necessary though as she was a convicted child abuser. Hopefully it was her guilty conscience that drove her to it.

What? He literally admitted luring people out of their homes under false pretenses in the past (the mom was one of them). Now the mom gets lured out once again, and the maid said it sounded like Carl? There's more proof he did it than the daughter. Maybe he wanted her dead so his wife could inherit her fortune. Witness testimony is the worst testimony as people are often mistaken in what they see. very unreliable..and only one random person says they saw him at the railway, all the other witnesses seem to point to him, for the most part.

@@susanivy3619 Exactly he admitted to such behavior in the past, but he didn't kill before. So the daughter used that to her advantage. That's just my opinion, because the way things played out after his conviction

@@susanivy3619 Also the maid and people saying it looked and sounded like him that's all considered circumstantial evidence, i firmly believe he was framed. Like the dude that was recruited to play him like why would he come forward if he got his cut paid for his role in the whole thing to say other wise. People cold blooded. Like people can plot and communicate back in those days with letters and just destroy the paper trail. Feel like it would be much easier to plot back then and get away with it. Now a days people be texting, emails and phone records they can be got a hold of to expose certain things, so yeah that's just my opinion

@@sharonpratt9824 Hi Guess we will never fully know but I think Carl Hua and Olga were secretly romancing and this was their plan to get her mother out of the way and take all her money. But just my opinion is all...

@@Chrissy259hi yep i feel ya could of been. Real possibility

Morning!

Except he wrote a book about his experience then killed himself. I think he wanted his side to get out before he died. He knew writing the book would land him back in jail but it was important to him to do so and he left no legacy other than that. He didn’t profit from it. Sad, sad case. I think it was one of the old lady’s children.
