Thankyou Susan :)
True that. I was like, wow! This can't be happening. Something decent to watch first thing in the morning
Mmm every body jumping o the true history as for that fans that roll and love this channel all day long kudos to yall
@@Boo-dawg. yep
@@BriefCaseOfficial😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Im always struck by how cops back then could solve crimes. They had absolutely nothing to work with. No forensics, or criminologists etc another fantastic episode 💚🍀
Critical thinking
Good Guts🙂
Think of all the convicted ones who were innocent. I doubt the police were as brilliant as you may think. Many times they bowed to public pressure to make an arrest and they did
They could have literally said anything back then and chances are that it's actually going to fly!?! They legit thought a person could be hypnotized into unaliving a person and get away with it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kinda like the jailed are frequently accumulating resources or escaping. People sure are resourceful and creative.
one of the few channels I click a like before I listen. so reliably good, the hard work is obvious!
Thankyou so much :)
I also do that. :-)
It also helps that he has a pleasant voice to listen too😊
It’s so cool to wake up and see a brand new brief case video 🙂
Writer's strike blues?
Thankyou :)
Indeed!
Interesting case, one can almost call it, "Till death do us part, in parts, in packages". Cruelty and insensitivity to the max.
It is so disturbing - the mental and emotional gymnastics, the conversations between them, that must have occurred for two seemingly normal, functional people to decide that murdering and dismembering another person was any type of solution to a problem…
I don’t understand the verdict. She got off very easy.
Good night from Australia 🇦🇺 BC.
The strangest thing is that the body parts were moved miles from Woodside to be disposed of, and dumped where likely to be found. There were plenty of desolate places closer to the cottage.
The murderers were not very smart. Wrapping the parts in the same type of oilcloth immediately connected the parts together. Then they left the incriminating tools in the house instead of discarding them? Not smart!
This crime as told by you, kept me glued to my seat....
The police did a complete investigation leaving no stone unturned
The depravity of cutting up a corpses is just so graphic in the layman's mind
Thank You
Hi Briefy! I must say that the police did a great job in this case.
Hope all is good with you
Hugs from Sweden
and Australia! 🇦🇺
And England 🏴
Happy Monday morning everyone. Another great video and tragic story. Thank you Mr Brief Case
But it isn’t a Monday morning. It is 9:38pm Monday night.
A happy and safe Monday to you and yours also!!!🙏👌🦉❣️
It's very late here in Australia. Will be Tuesday in 1 hour
Good morning BC! Happy to hear your voice😊
Good morning!
So many in the stories from these times are let out before the end of their sentences, especially women. Mrs Nack had a hard life in Prussia, experienced loss, moved to the US for a better life, experienced loss yet again and then decided to go for broke and willfully completely destroy her life. Depressing case. Interesting but depressing. Thank you Brief Case.
absolutely true, the same goes for death sentences, some very evil women but most had sentences reduced and were freed due to public outcry, not so for men,
Good morning from Arkansas and enjoy listening to your stories while getting ready for work.
Thanks for listening, I have never been to Arkansas, but I imagine it is a really nice State
Thank you BC. Reliable as always, good stories well researched. RIP all murrder victims.
Fantastic case today! They were definitely both equally culpable, she got off lightly. I always feel so sorry for kids who find gruesome bodies or parts, especially when its wrapped or boxed up. Any kid is going to be hoping they've found treasure only to be traumatized. Thank you for another great episode!
Thanks Holly :)
Indeed.
Traumatized for life especially in such hard times.
Good point.
I agree with the 3 before me. It makes me queasy picturing what the kids saw in their minds for years everafter, and knowing it could be repeated in today's world.
You are right that is pretty gruesome and sickening.
Am I the only one who wonders HOW "she then lived out her life in relative obscurity in New Jersey"? What did she live on? Did she have a job? What kind of job? Did she change her name? And then there's the question of how did she live with herself and what she'd done - effectively killing two men?
It's not just her I'm curious about. I wonder about, say, Casey Anthony. How she live? Where does she get her money to live on? It's not as if people wouldn't immediately recognize her - and who would hire her? And how does the guilt not crush her?
I'm always struck by the fact that there are honest, innocent people who struggle to stay afloat at all through no real fault of their own after losing a job or going through divorce and find themselves on the street or nearly, while people like this seem to have no money problems at all...
Many "normal" empathetic people who have healthy interpersonal emotions and coping skills wonder how such people live the rest of their lives with their consciences after committing heinous crimes and injustices against innocent victims, especially if they are lucky to escape punishment. In almost all cases, their brains show under development and abnormalities in the areas of the brain governing reasoning and emotion. Their behaviors are typically very narcissistic, sociopathic and in the extreme, psychopathic. They are very entitled and will go to any lengths to get what they want or desire without regards to the well being or harm done to others and feel totally justified in their actions. These antisocial behaviors are shown early in their lives as young children and progressively become worse as the individual ages. They are unable to feel regret or remorse; they are unable to apologize nor change their self-centered focus away from themselves.
@@Curlyblonde
Yes, of course. But, logistically, how do they manage? Who hires them and how do they make their way? Casey Anthony was one of the most despised ever and yet she flourishes. It's beyond my comprehension.
Oh, I have no doubt Casey Anthony feels no guilt at all.
@@Lucinda_Jackson After she was released from custody, her lawyer hired her to work in his office, and she still works there according to the latest update. Most of the notorious serial killers, no matter how depraved their crimes, always seem to have many fans and admirers, who want to financially support them, marry them, have their babies etc. Hard to comprehend why this happens.
Perhaps she went back Ilegal terminations?, lucrative, secret, no taxes, no responsibility if something went wrong, all covered up. Survival in obscurity.
Just a couple of notes, all of which are trivial and probably have little bearing on the case.
Even though New York was a city of immigrants from all over, any time there was a trial involving an immigrant, the newspaper reports were usually very slanted against them, regardless of their true character, especially if a crime had been committed against a natural born citizen.
Not to defend her, but I always wonder how the loss of a child, especially if they are young, affected those women who later on are found to have committed crimes. How did that change their character?
If I heard the dates correctly, she would have been 48 years old when she got out of prison. After two shops both failed, what did she do to support herself? I can only presume that she moved somewhere that her name was not known as she would have been a social pariah locally.
This one was weird because no real motivation was found.
Its not like these two were married.
She was not bound to her ex lover.
Why did she think it be better to kill him than simply leave?
Some abusive persons will not leave their victims alone until they're forced to do so, in one way or another. They should have just left NY moved out west and away from the man. Back then people could just make up a whole new identity, move away without much of a paper trail. He would have likely never found them or even put much effort into it.
@@kina18 True. And yet, as you've said, they could have likely disappeared none the less.
When Augusta said during her testimony that she was afraid of both men, I believe her. It was a man's world and she got left holding the short end of the stick. If anyone ghosts haunted the Brooklyn jail, it was her's. She got three shoddy men; a drunk for a husband and two jealous jerks and to top it all lost both of her children.
It still happens today it's the old story she didn't want him but no one else could have him
I'm thinking about Augusta and her life. I am a mother too, and I can relate to her in the case of her losing the two small children. It would have had a massive impact on her psyche. The children's father took to alcohol in his grief. What was her reaction? Her thoughts? I think she became another person after the tragedy. Maybe she felt that nothing mattered anymore. Lying, committing adultery and even murder was nothing compared to the devastating loss of her babies. Just my thoughts late at night with my little girl sleeping in the next room. Thank you BC for yet another very interesting video.
Theres no excuse to murder no matter if u lost your kids those thats just an excuse
@@wendyjones1422exactly! There are many people who have experienced tragedies (inc child related) and not all commit crimes - those who do sorry have to face the consequences still 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you as always BC. My Monday mornings are always made better by checking into whatever case you are presenting. 👍
Hi BC. Happy Monday! I had to watch this video twice because customers actually expected me to work while watching it the first time - too many twists to keep up with. That woman should've gotten the same punishment although I've heard the electric chair that early was rather gruesome. Have a great week, and thanks for the video!
Customers can be tedious that way.
@@pixel9548 I know, but they are paying for my cat food, along with the house we live in .😸
Thanks for the upload, Brief Case! I had some yummy chicken and porkchop Pho with spring rolls over the weekend.
The amazing thing is that each week the stories are so full of detail and never disappoint. I have started missing a few weeks or months do to a bing binge watch 😊. Thanks BC, I started watching you while bord sh*tless in a Zambian game park surrounded by monkeys and elephants the first year you started and now I am watching you from a dodgy Travel Lodge in Strafford Upon Avon😊
That made me laugh but I am sorry it should not have, just the thought of all that space and wonderful animals in a Zambian Game Park and now a Travel Lodge in Stratford Upon Avon, however Stratford Upon Avon is a very beautiful town and of course where William Shakespeare was born :)
@@BriefCaseOfficial BC if I can make you laugh then it's my pleasure. I know some of the stories as many have featured on Deadly Women but your a treasure. You had a story once that featured Zambia, I think it started in South Africa. Thank you for the weekly dose and keep on encouraging Crime Reel😀 Stratford is very beautiful!
This was a weird one. They just killed the guy, no motive at all. I also have doubts about who actually shot him, but I'm inclined to think she did the shooting and he helped her dispose of the body. They were both equally guilty, and she deserved the same sentence he got.
THIS! I know at least one of them was guilty, but honestly not sure which or if both.
So many times while I watch your vids I stop and gaze at the photos, and am fascinated by them. The stories of victims back then are just as sad as the stories of today. Not sure why I stopped getting your vids for awhile... seems to happen with crime channels? thanks for your hard work! nearly 400 K subs! Good for you hon!
Nice that you are back, I release videos every Monday at 12pm UK time
My word, Augusta's life was a compendium of all the ills people so often faced - the hardship, the early age of work, the economic problems, the loss of children, the exile, the drunken partner....still, she survived it all, unlike poor Mr.Goldensuppe.- or Mr. Thorne!
Good evening Briefy, thank you for sharing another unknown crime with your respectful manner for all involved. Life can be hard now but back then; well it was *very* rough. I hope you are keeping well and you have a great week. Take care mate 😊cheers
Thanks :)
I Don't Have A Problem With Both Of Them Being Found Guilty, My Only Issue Was The Punishment. I Just Don't Believe It's Fair To Sentence Someone To DEATH - If They Had An Accomplice In Committing A Crime...Especially If It Can't Be Determined Who ACTUALLY Killed The Victim! How Is That Justice?
thankfully this law still stands in many countries, it doesnt matter who shot, both wanted it and conspired, it was and still is common to blame each other so a case collapses, if you are involved in the murder of someone no matter in what way then you are guilty of murder
Good morning!
It never seems to amaze me what people will do for love including murder. I can’t fathom how someone can cut up a human being and toss them away like garbage even the stories that I hear today. Most stories are about the same thing which is infidelity and money and jealousy. Plus back then if you got a divorce you always had to worry about what people thought of you and that’s really sad it’s almost like you were trapped because people would judge you behind a divorce. So you have to sneak around while you’re married which is actually worse. As I always say different times. Thank you again for a great story have a wonderful week and looking forward to next Monday
Bless 🇬🇧🇵🇭🙏🏽
I look forward to these every week! Brief Case is the best historical crime on TH-cam.
Thankyou so much Andrea :)
Hey BC! I feel really amazed at how you manage to find so many details in these old cases... It's fascinating and very interesting because in those times we didn't have science such as DNA to help solving crimes. I appreciate your work, you're brilliant! Cheers from Rio de Janeiro 🥰🌻
Thankyou :)
A most convoluted case indeed. It's amazing how they, in that time period went about solving the case. But to leave evidence almost in plain view speaks volumes about the stupidity of the people involved in the crime.
She should have went back to Germany or some other country where no one knew her.
Well narrated as usual BC.
Thankyou :)
Recalling other cases of dismemberment before the age of the automobile where the intent was to hide the body parts but while transporting the parts the person was for some reason compelled to just leave a part along the side of the road.
She got lucky in not being hanged as well. I'm sorry she lost her children though, that might have been what set her and husband into a terrible spiral
Thank you for your hard work. I look forward to Monday mornings because of you!
Thanks for watching
Good morning brief case! Thank you for the new video! ❤❤
Good morning!
Wow i haven't heard the term oil cloth since I was a small child my grandmother used that term for linoleum,...... showing me age lol...... thanks BC brilliant as always 👍
I'm not so familiar with it, I know it was waterproof, and with the newer waterproof materials, it's not really used anymore
My Mondays are not complete without coffee, cats and Brief Case (I'm retired)
Thank you for the upload! Have a wonderful week my friend Briefy and all the BC fans :)
Thanks Aurora, You too
Thanks for another great story!
Thanks for listening
Yay!!! My favorite part of the week! Only thing that makes Mondays good! Thank you sir!
I am sure Mondays are not so bad :)
I'm enjoying your videos from centuries ago, I love old history.. Thank you for your efforts in bringing these videos.🙏
Glad you like them!
Trying again for third time! Thank you for Monday great stories. Wish good week
Thanks Elke :)
It's interesting to note that she pled guilty to taking part in a cold blooded murder, and yet she wasn't deported upon release from prison.
Interesting observation, yes normally immigration boots them out as they are considered Undesirables, so someone was asleep on the job. During the Oath of Allegiance, you make a promise to abide by the law and be a good citizen. She certainly created enough havoc and destruction during her short time in the US.
Maybe she was a naturalized citizen by then.
@@BlackRiverBay - good point.
@@BlackRiverBay Even naturalized citizens could have had their citizenship revoked if they didn't behave themselves or the authorities could prove that they lied or with held vital information during the citizenship process. Immigration threw out gangsters and war criminals after their jail sentences were completed, if they were born elsewhere. It was certainly a lot easier and faster to repatriate them if their US citizenship was still being processed or hadn't been started yet. Either way, they were booted out and were banned from ever entering again.
Body parts wrapped in oil cloth. It seems nothing has changed in the gruesomeness of murder from then until now.
WOW Brief Case this was a very interesting story!! I love stories from back in the day!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
She got off easy in the end considering her involvement in the murder
Good morning all from South Jersey USA
Morning :)
Coming up on 400.000k subs. Quality channel!!!!!!!!!
Still a long way to go for that
That was such a sad story,the twists in life sometimes breaks people ,thanks again for such good coverage on all the work you do
Thanks for listening
Oh yeh , no one can narrate a story like you Mr. BC . Also , you always seem to tell a story that I have never heard before . Thank you Sir !
Thanks :)
Another great Brief...Case!! Best part of my Monday.
Always glad to see you, BC! Thanks for another great video 😊!
Thanks for watching
Good morning Briefcase 💼 and Monday morning crew 😁
Morning!
During the late 1800s a lot of Prussian Germans (some of my ancestors among them) emigrated to the new colony of South Australia, where they set up a large Germanic area around Lobethal (Valley of Praise). Unfortunately a number of the German place-names were changed during the anti-German sentiments of WW1. The Germanic influence was so strong that I was raised speaking a form of the original German language over 80 years later ! (some of these German settlers feature in "the Towitta Mystery: the murder of Bertha Schippan" )
Thank You! Love your work!
Thanyou :)
against the death penalty but she should have got the same sentence as the man 9 years for killing someone seem a very light tariff
I look forward to your videos every Monday. Thank you Brief Case
Thanks Christy
came to this video after reading "Murder of the Century"; the visuals are fantastic for fleshing out my prior reading!
I love your channel, keep up the amazing work!!💗
Thank you so much!!
Always lovely to see your postings I learn so much😊.
Thank you! Every Monday at 12pm UK time
When the video talked about how Augusta start a midwife job, I thought the case would be about her ki*ling babies and/or children….it’s still an awful story, but I’m a bit “relieved” the victim was an adult. ☺️
OMG….me too. I was considering turning it off when they mentioned the midwife bit. It’s even more difficult to watch programmes about child abusers and murder.
Holy moly. Long island is my home town. This case was really interesting. I think I read about this crime in one of my books. Great job briefcase. Thanks for all you do
Thankyou
Horrific crime . Often.... I wonder how can people do such horrible deeds, makes my stomach churn. RIP William G.
Have a very good week BC and faithful listeners. Greetings from Texas Elizabeth C.
I wholeheartedly agree! Why murder him at all? And in such a ghastly manner to boot? Makes absolutely no sense. Rather good that we don’t understand as it makes us sane, productive members of society.
Thank you for sharing another interesting story. Have a great week!👍
Thank you! You too!
Morning BriefCase - thanx for the case, and have a good week
Thanks, You too!
This one stood out to me because you put so many pics in it!! Well done!!
Thanks :)
Brief case, Love your channel. I love history and vintage crime! Thanks for all your hard work in bringing us these Fascinating cases! By the way the electric chair was first introduced in New Yorks-Ossining prison (better known to all as Sing sing prison) on January 1, 1889, and was first used for Execution in July 17, 1891. 5 people were executed that very day! So in this story the electric chair was Pretty New in Sing Sing prison at the time of execution of Martin Thorne on August, 1, 1898.. Thanks for the upload. ❤❤
Thats interesting, thanks
I live on Long Island and I used to think there was no killers here, now I don’t feel as safe as I used to
Thats sad :(
Really enjoy your videos!!😊
Thank you so much!!
Good morning and thank you Brief Case. I look forward to Monday mornings nowadays, because I know I'm going to hear a good story.
I hope you have a wonderful week Brief Case 😊
Thanks Michelle, You too :)

Hope you feel beller
Another good story. Thanks very much. Keep up the good work 👏
Thanks for listening
Thanks Briefy ❤️ hugs 😊
Thanks for watching
Another brilliant episode thankyou. I love Monday nights to listen and watch BC x
Thanks Susan
Thanks for introducing this wicked case in history ❤😂
Both should have received the same sentence. She was most likely the mastermind. This sounds straight out of Deadly Women 😳!
Most enjoyable BC, Monday starting well. 🇨🇦👍☀️😊
Thanks Marion :)
Good video as always
Thanks :)
And yet today people still come to the same horrible decision that murder is the best solution for an already ill set of circumstances! When will people learn murder is not a good decision? In the end one died and they never ended up being together after all!
Another Great video ❤
Thanks
Hello Brief Case 💼 Well it is another story where the lady got away with murder but the gent did not! Both equally culpable! And no rhyme or reason for the murder. No motive! Some people are just murderous pieces of dung. Who should have been punished or deported. She certainly didn't deserve to live out her days in relative obscurity in NJ! 🤦🏻♀️
Have a lovely week! (Resa)
Thanks Resa
Love Mondays. Thankyou BC
Another interesting and great case. Thank you BC❤
Thanks for listening
@@BriefCaseOfficial Always!❤️ I really love your channel 😁
Thankyou so much :)
“…She opened a shop, but after people realized who she was, she closed it down. She opened another one, but it had the same fate…”
So you're telling me Cancel Culture has been a thing for hundreds of years? Well, how 'bout that! 😉
Um, having to close your shop because people don't want to patronize your business because you MURDERED a person (and were of loose moral character in Victorian/Edwardian times) is a far cry from refusing to patronize a business because they vote for someone you don't like or hold an opinion you don't care for.
First written instance was when the Roman's canceled Jesus
