Very true. Albeit my 25 year marriage ended in that fashion with the ex telling the lover that. But he wasn’t truthful because he didn’t go get the divorce. I had to do it although he wanted it. 😆Go figure. Oh well. Not my problem now 😉
Yes Anthony, perhaps if people would quit sleeping with someone else's husband or someone else's wife hanging on to that thread that they think to be true. After all the person coming to them is lying to begin with in the relationship, so why would they be truthful now. It may sound cruel but the people that are killed by a jilted lover whether their wife or mistress or husband or mistress or mister, c'est la vie! You get one life you want to rot in a grave, because you couldn't control yourself. Such a shame people have zero impulse control.
Cheating is gross, I don't care if it's someone sleeping with someone else's spouse or a spouse sleeping with someone other than their spouse. It's disgusting and I don't know how people live with themselves.
I completely forgot that “brief case” was literally meaning a short story/case. My brain kept automatically picturing a Suitcase briefcase because every time he said “Sit back as we go to....” I kept thinking, oh! I have my briefcase ready and imagined us all on a train on our way to wherever Brief Case takes us.
I just found out about this channel 😃, I subscribed and liked Laura Fair video!!! I'm addicted I really am interested in these older videos an old crimes! If we don't keep this history then it's just going to get lost I'm surprised some of these old pictures still exist! This is truly amazing I love this channel Thanks Brief Case!
Yes, please go back to the original introduction. It is your style. Don't let anyone's negative comments change you. Thank you for your always well researched videos!!
I cast my vote on: Bring back the boom and intro ... It's just part of the Brief Case audio / visual persona. And to quote Garth from Wayne's World "We fear change" ;-).
Initially, Laura didn't know Alexander was married. The first year, the wife was in San Francisco. Laura only found out he was married when his wife planned to move to Nevada.
@@annetteyoutube742 it makes me CrAzY when people forget that part, because had she known she wouldn't have even acknowledged him especially considering she had the hotel and would have done everything to preserve her reputation, because back then reputation was everything!
This channel makes it so clear how even tho these cases were more than fifty or a hundred years ago and people believe they are now so technologically better ... we are in fact the same old beast , same old motives and reasons ... sex , love or greed . This channel is awesome.. oh and yes ...bring back the "Boom"
As far as I can tell, there is no actual difference between sex, love, and greed in the context of being a motivation for violence/crime/etc. . It all comes back to one core motivation - to procreate. Which I think makes your point even more succinct - despite all of our alleged progress and refinement, we are still just trying to make more of us.
@@guitarsandgames6894 never thought of it like that , and at its core your absolutely right. The stuff about progress is more or less a side note as I'm sure even in the future the motives will remain the same.
@@guitarsandgames6894 i believev your right for the most part, except most male serial killers and female black widows where not exactly procreating with there victims . It seems either a sense of power or financial gain was behind the selfish acts . I'm no psychologist so ill just leave it at just an opinion Honestly.
Unfortunately, behind our cars, computers, cell phones, and glittering cities, we're just primates with bigger brains - essentially hairless chimpanzees. I know religious people don't want to believe that and would much rather think that humans are somehow special - but we have FAR more in common with the animals than we have differences. Those commonalities always and inevitably come down to competition for mates, defending one's territory and property (including spouses which are seen as possessions first and partners - meh, maybe 5th or 6th on the list). Then there's the burning need to pop out puppies (for women) and spread around their DNA (men) - which is why marriages don't work at least half the time. And finally there's the need to be bigger, better, and more powerful than those around you - to be the Alpha of your peer group. This means succumbing to greed and the obsession with money, and while animals don't have an economy per se, humans use the economy to beat down potential rivals (i.e. everyone else except immediate family and close friends). We think it's somehow more "civilized" to condemn entire families to abject poverty, to take away their access to healthcare, and force them to suffer with malnutrition than it is to be barbaric and physically fight one another over a loaf of bread (well, except on Thanksgiving when people fight over the last few turkeys at the store - or Black Friday where people are literally trampled to save a hundred bucks on a flat screen - or to simply murder someone who is standing in the way of you obtaining sex, money, or prestige .... yeah, never mind, we're just as barbaric as any two wolves fighting over a deer carcass.)
Didn't notice the lack of boom until you mentioned it. I do like the intros but not having it doesn't ruin the video for me. I'm just happy and grateful for the content you make.
When Alexander got her to get a divorce for him promising to get one himself too in return but later said just kidding, he should have known something might happen.
@@JojosOasis Not to say that appropriate justice was served, however he did knowingly play with fire. He was an a$$hole and turned his mistress a bit into a psycho. Oh well. Interesting story with lots of shady characters. Thanks for your humorless sarcasm.
Noticed the missing intro, boom also. I was honestly interested in the story. You do you,💕 whichever way you prefer but I liked the way it was. But I'll always listen, just don't start screaming and yelling and making funny noises LMAO 😂
She shot Alexander in front of his children, which is beyond horrible. What a fascinating story. And I vote "bring back the booms." It's your signature!
To me that's the only decisively horrible part which is horrible in and of itself! People invite all kinds of consequences when they insist of making the lives of others a constant trifle.
I’d appreciate bringing the booms back. I listen to your videos a lot when iam in bed, closing my eyes in the dark. Allows me to picture the times and the events more clearly, but sometimes on certain nights I start to doze of and your booms! Wake me up, just enough to listen to the end. Thank you! 👍😊
I think 🤔 that your program is so fascinating that you should continue to perform them as you have always, quite successfully, accomplished. The “Boom” often makes me jump and then laugh uproariously at myself. Thank you for helping me through this difficult time in our history - as I self - quarantine from health hazards and now await Hurricane Laura. You take me away like Calvin.
She was an idiot. She let this dude play her. She could have had any unmarried man she wanted but she choose to stay with a married man years after she knew he had been lying his ass off to her.
@@Catglittercrafts That is true but he is still a dog and he still lied in the beginning before he confessed that he was married. So....she still would have had the same emotions.
I did too! But april has a point ... but who among us hasn't been played? Times are different now, if yous lept with a man back then you felt morally as if you should be with them forever. And he was obviously quite the con artist. Yet at a certain point she married another dude and divorced him? SMH. I wonder if there are any other single women out there who have sworn off of men because so many lie and cheat?! lol! But not BC ever!
omg what a two faced man! The "booms" have never bother me, but its your channel and you do as you please. I missed the intro tho :) Hope you are safe and well Hugs from Sweden
I missed hearing you suggest that I "sit back, as we go to ____". That little phrase let's me know you are about to take me on a journey. It's is my cue to grab a blanket, close my eyes, and envision the past. Thank you for all the care you put into your storytelling.
Love the booms.... Trust yourself. There will always be group that will hate what you do, regardless of the topic. Your channel shows, that you know what your doing... Love from Texas! 💜🤠💜
@Akira Kurosawa That guy was a selfish bastard. Keeping Laura prisoner as a mistress was highly damageful to her respectability, yet he never wanted to engage his. But for the fuckolada, no need to push him, oh nooooes
I know I'm a bit late on this, but not only the intro but the boom sounds add alot to your videos in my opinion and anyone complaining about such a trivial thing as "you use the boom sound and I don't like it" is just being nit picky or just a run of the mill internet troll. I can't honestly believe that REAL people are ACTUALLY bothered by something as minor as "the boom sounds" lol. Another great one my dude! Plz keep it up and KEEP THE BOOM AND INTRO
I like the intro and booms, but you do as you see fit since it's your channel, either way I will still enjoy. I feel sorry for these women, Clara because he was cheating on her and Laura because he kept stringing her along even after she got married. Why do that to a person when you have no intention of being with them? I do believe after he messed with her head so much she snapped. I am glad that she didn't have to serve prison time due to temporary insanity because she was living her own personal hell with him. He deserved what he got, I am sorry, but that's how I feel.
I agree. I agree with the 'boom' and definitely that the man got what he deserved. I really can't stand those who cheat on their wives and lie to their mistresses. It is just totally dishonest and wrong.
I finally get a chance to sit back as we go to...and no boom?! Bring back the boom. The episode wasn't bad. I just like the drama of it. Either way, keep making content. Love this channel.
How much do I wish that Laura had finished her teaching qualifications, or latterly, found the strength to finish it with him and keep on with her successful hotel business. How can it not have been premeditated? 🤔 Thanks for the story. I like the boom but to be honest I didn't notice it was missing today. That was fascinating. Good wishes 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️ 🏴
I remember the first time a video of yours randomly played while autoplay was on and without a doubt, the boom was my favourite part, only second to"Brief...Case". They both had me chuckling and they're a big part of the reason I watched more videos and subscribed even though at the time I wasn't interested in historic cases. Now these stories have become one of the best parts of my week and in a big way, thanks to the boom. Please run the channel however you like as it's yours. The boom is one of its defining charms.
Fascinating story, this one. Not sure how I feel about it. I can see both sides. 1. She was simply jealous and wanted to punish his wife by cheating her out of her husband; and 2. She was so distraught because of years of his lies that she did become temporarily deranged. You did point out she was a very good actress, so the whole insanity thing could have been an act. Who knows? I love the introduction and the "boom" sounds. They make your videos stand out. It kinda reminds me of one of my favorite TV series, Law and Order, and I love it please don't get rid of all that.
I thought that she might have been plotting to kill the wife, but after observing the family realized that she had been strung along and decided to kill him for leading her on. I don't have any evidence of that, but that's where my thoughts naturally went.
I love this channel! This case was featured on an episode of Diabolical Women (with a few changes) and your version was much more informative. Older crime cases are so much more intriguing. Thanks for all your hard work.
I liked the boom, as you call it, and the music. Made the video creepier! Loved hearing about Laura Fair. I had never heard of her case. As I used to tell my Ancient Literature students, human nature and emotions have not changed. Love, jealousy, hate, etc. have remained the same down through the centuries, and we can identify with the tragic tale of Mrs Fair.
My father (who was not a biblical scholar) made one of the wisest observations about the Bible that I've ever heard, "If you read the bible the one thing it will teach you absolutely is that people really haven't CHANGED all that much over thousands of years of history .
We, your subscribers, have subscribed due to exactly what you do - the introduction, the booms, your style and everything else included. Without *all* those elements, it wouldn't be "briefcase" that we know, appreciate & love.😁
Here’s my 2 cents: while the introduction and booms may not be necessary, I personally consider them to be a trademark of your brand. Obviously the choice is ultimately yours, but I like them and would like to see them remain
WOW! I am incapacitated for a few weeks and I come back to three great stories and major changes. I personally like the intro and boom sounds, and consider them hallmarks of your channel. Whatever you decide to do I’ll still be listening!
Oh, BC, another great episode. I, truly missed the introduction, as I love “sitting back” and knowing where we are going for the story. I also love the “boom” sound effects. I’ve grown used to them and they are almost like a “comfort food” feeling for me. I know you will never be able to make everyone happy-so you do whatever is best for your channel, I will support you either way. ❤️
Try listening when you're going to sleep. It usually takes me a couple stories but his voice is so soothing and the cadence he reads helps me get to sleep.
I enjoyed today's feature about, Laura Fair it's a story that's old as the hills. A married man who cheats on his wife and has a mistress who he tells that he'll marry her, "one day." I personally miss your introduction to your stories, the boom sounds doesn't bother me either way. But, it's your preference because it's your channel, period! I'll still enjoy your channel, because I find it very interesting.
Your stories are amazing, such attention to detail. Personally, I love the boom!! Please reintroduce it!! Folk have been following you, gripped by your historical crimes, all of the way through....so why rid the boom??
I like the boom sound. It builds suspense. When I hear that and see "The crime" I know sh** is about to get real. The intro sets the stage and builds some intrigue. I kind of wait with baited breath.. "ok so where are we today...". It felt like something was missing today.
I do prefer the sounds. It makes the story transitions more distinctive. I'm disturbed that Mrs. Fair got off for committing murder, simply because the victim was unlikeable. This scenario is much a reflection of today's times. Too many people think the ends justify the means, because some people are unlikeable. It's not true. We all must be responsible for what we do.
She should've know he'd lie again. She shouldn't have divorced her husband until he proved he had already gotten a divorce. He should have expected it. Don't lie!
Yeah, I was shocked that she did not wait until he divorced his wife before she divorced her husband. He wanted it both ways - make sure she is available to him year after year, but want to keep his married/family
I'm so excited to watch this your voice always makes me feel very comfortable and I love learning the stories. I'm trying to sleep right now so I can have enough energy to work at 5:00 to 11:30 p.m. shift tonight. I will be working for the next 8 days so I'm not super excited about it lol anyways I hope everyone has a really nice day and no matter what please don't be racist Be nice to yourself and be nice to others and be the change that we need as humans
Every person has their breaking point and she reached her's... You can only be lied to and used for so long before you eventually lash out.. I know because I did it too although I didn't kill anyone but I made sure when I found out he was married his wife found out.. He had lied to me for almost a year, begged me to let him move in with me which thankfully I refused to do because there was something that always felt a little off.. Afterwards he tried hard to get me to be with him still lmao.. So he was really lucky I guess that I wasn't another Laura Fair Don't change your intro please.. It's such a part of your podcast
Chose to ruin his wife’s life as well? He was wrong, no doubt, but to make his wife suffer the pain you felt because of his wicked lies, is down right evil
Oh wow a story starting out in Holly Springs Ms , lived in Memphis many years , I actually traveled back and forth to do acrylic nails ( I was a manicurist at the time) for a movie called Cookies Fortune (been years ago, maybe 20) great movie has big names but was low budget but I recommend👌 as I'm listening it interesting she ended up in Nevada wich is where I am now lol ( Reno) near Virginia City I grew up in Soda Springs near Lake Tahoe in an old hotel my parents owned built in the 1800's. Such a sad story all the way around Laura sadly should have wished up and left him for good 💔 and realized he was a no good 2 timing man. PS I LIKE THE BOOMS AND SPECIAL NOISES 🤗 bring em back , they make your stories even more interesting to me anyway👌👌👌And I like the intro...
South Lake Tahoe been going since I was a baby 1967 to our family cabin. A piece of my heart is in Lake Tahoe 🦅 Was visiting Virginia City & Carson City since I was a kid
Great video. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you. I like the format of your video here, but prefer the intro. and boom sounds. Again, thanks for putting out such great content.
I like the intro: it's distinctive, and others imitate it because it's a good setting up of the story that is to follow. The other sounds are ok. I like to know we are going to another sector like :"The Trial". You have a good and nice format. I wouldn't touch it if I were you
She probably felt that he not only took advantage of her with his deceit, but also that she was made to look cheapened from it. She was infuriated and hated him for it. Although pre-meditated, this has overtones of second-degree murder. She should have known right from the beginning that her chances of leaving his wife for her were slim, however.
Please bring back both the typical intro., as well as the boom. Also, I was literally disgusted by the behavior of literally everyone involved in this case.
"If it ain't broke don't fix it." I am late to the debate, but I enjoy the format you have been using over the one for this video. Although I have to admit this is one of my very favorite stories.
Thank you, Brief Case!👏👏👏👏👏 I've heard this case somewhere else, but I like your video alot more! I feel like she was very young, and taken advantage of. He kept toying with her, and society was alot harsher, towards women than it is now. I was a Widow at 22, so I understand how devastating it is. I think she did snap. She admitted what she did, but her history before and after, shows she wasn't, by nature, a violent person. He played her, and his wife! I'll see you, in the next, Brief Case! Stay safe!!
To spend that many years in love with a man . To believe his deception and web of lies . To find out that he is still in love with his wife and he has no intention of being honorable. Had to be soul crushing for her . Hence the reason she didn't flee after she shot him. Stress , shock , the realization that you have been made a fool. Can push anyone over the edge . P.s. the transition boom was cool but either way is fine. It's your show and we came here to listen to your stories. Do what makes YOU happiest . Love the show , thank you for all your hard work.
Dude please keep the boom sound. I really hope people arent commenting saying things to make you feel self conscious about your videos or editing, cause your channel is amazing and its growing! Keep on keeping on! BOOM
"I promise to get a divorce", complete and total bunk. That is one of those lines that usually have no basis in truth or fact.
Trivial? No.

I wonder if there are any other single women out there who have sworn off of men because so many lie and cheat?! lol! But not BC ever!
omg what a two faced man!
The "booms" have never bother me, but its your channel
and you do as you please. I missed the intro tho :)
Hope you are safe and well
Hugs from Sweden
Thankyou so much :)
Oh keep the booms - it's like the booms on Law & Order, if they aren't there, you notice it...
@@Presca1 Exactly!!!
I wonder if Laura's ex-fourth husband was called to give any testimony? I wonder how he felt about all this?
Ahh, Brief Case! The perfect cure for Monday! Thanks for all the hard work, Brief Case! Blessed be!
I missed hearing you suggest that I "sit back, as we go to ____". That little phrase let's me know you are about to take me on a journey. It's is my cue to grab a blanket, close my eyes, and envision the past. Thank you for all the care you put into your storytelling.
I second this. Even though it's months later.
Love the booms.... Trust yourself. There will always be group that will hate what you do, regardless of the topic. Your channel shows, that you know what your doing... Love from Texas! 💜🤠💜
BOOMS pleeeeeeeease!
Another gem, poor Laura and poor Clara. I missed the boom. Thanks Brief Case
@Akira Kurosawa
That guy was a selfish bastard. Keeping Laura prisoner as a mistress was highly damageful to her respectability, yet he never wanted to engage his. But for the fuckolada, no need to push him, oh nooooes
I like the Intro and Boom, thanks Brief Case. Boom Boom shake my room
😂🤣
Thanks :)
I know I'm a bit late on this, but not only the intro but the boom sounds add alot to your videos in my opinion and anyone complaining about such a trivial thing as "you use the boom sound and I don't like it" is just being nit picky or just a run of the mill internet troll. I can't honestly believe that REAL people are ACTUALLY bothered by something as minor as "the boom sounds" lol. Another great one my dude! Plz keep it up and KEEP THE BOOM AND INTRO
I like the intro and booms, but you do as you see fit since it's your channel, either way I will still enjoy.
I feel sorry for these women, Clara because he was cheating on her and Laura because he kept stringing her along even after she got married. Why do that to a person when you have no intention of being with them? I do believe after he messed with her head so much she snapped. I am glad that she didn't have to serve prison time due to temporary insanity because she was living her own personal hell with him. He deserved what he got, I am sorry, but that's how I feel.
I agree. I agree with the 'boom' and definitely that the man got what he deserved. I really can't stand those who cheat on their wives and lie to their mistresses. It is just totally dishonest and wrong.
I say keep the Boom! I like it..that’s your signature
Thanks :)
Oh absolutely 😊
I was just going to say this! The boom is definitely part of your videos. Love it!
Yes !
Thank you! I would like the sounds back as it creates an atmosphere! ❤️
Brief Case ALWAYS 😊 makes my Monday mornings. Thanks very much! Happy Monday folks☺️
I finally get a chance to sit back as we go to...and no boom?! Bring back the boom. The episode wasn't bad. I just like the drama of it. Either way, keep making content. Love this channel.
Thanks :)
The boom adds to the ambience of the channel brother, don't get rid of it, whatever you do
How much do I wish that Laura had finished her teaching qualifications, or latterly, found the strength to finish it with him and keep on with her successful hotel business.
How can it not have been premeditated? 🤔
Thanks for the story.
I like the boom but to be honest I didn't notice it was missing today.
That was fascinating.
Good wishes 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️ 🏴
Now, I'm not saying what she did was right. But I understand.
Things were very different for women in those days.
He had it coming
Chris Rock!
@@cloudstrife4747 As a happily married woman, I quote the bit from him about love and murder way too much.
The worst thing is she hadn't realized he was married. He was a selfish disgusting person
Off topic, but there is something about the narrator's voice that is so soothing to listen to, very enjoyable
Thank-you
I remember the first time a video of yours randomly played while autoplay was on and without a doubt, the boom was my favourite part, only second to"Brief...Case".
They both had me chuckling and they're a big part of the reason I watched more videos and subscribed even though at the time I wasn't interested in historic cases. Now these stories have become one of the best parts of my week and in a big way, thanks to the boom.
Please run the channel however you like as it's yours. The boom is one of its defining charms.
OK Thankyou :)
When you'd say "So, sit back..." I actually did! I miss the intro and booms. I vote for bringing them back.
I love the boom sounds and the introduction part as well! Keep it coming !!
Thank you! Will do :)
Fascinating story, this one. Not sure how I feel about it. I can see both sides. 1. She was simply jealous and wanted to punish his wife by cheating her out of her husband; and 2. She was so distraught because of years of his lies that she did become temporarily deranged.
You did point out she was a very good actress, so the whole insanity thing could have been an act. Who knows?
I love the introduction and the "boom" sounds. They make your videos stand out. It kinda reminds me of one of my favorite TV series, Law and Order, and I love it please don't get rid of all that.
Thanks :)
I thought that she might have been plotting to kill the wife, but after observing the family realized that she had been strung along and decided to kill him for leading her on. I don't have any evidence of that, but that's where my thoughts naturally went.
@@melsterifficmama1808 that is another possibility.
KEEP THE BOOM!! It gives the story an eerie feeling. Love it!!!
I love this channel! This case was featured on an episode of Diabolical Women (with a few changes) and your version was much more informative. Older crime cases are so much more intriguing. Thanks for all your hard work.
Thankyou
Yeah, the “boom” is such a signature sound to your videos, I say keep it
Thanks :)
Bring back the BOOM!
@@BriefCaseOfficial I actually listen to your videos when I'm drawing and the boom startles me lol this one without it was nice
Zz
I liked the boom, as you call it, and the music. Made the video creepier! Loved hearing about Laura Fair. I had never heard of her case. As I used to tell my Ancient Literature students, human nature and emotions have not changed. Love, jealousy, hate, etc. have remained the same down through the centuries, and we can identify with the tragic tale of Mrs Fair.
My father (who was not a biblical scholar) made one of the wisest observations about the Bible that I've ever heard, "If you read the bible the one thing it will teach you absolutely is that people really haven't CHANGED all that much over thousands of years of history .
What is ancient literature? Gilgamesh? Horace, Homer? It sounds interesting. Wish they'd had that course at my college
Men never seem to realise when they two-time, one of the parties just might not go quietly.
It’s not solely men who cheat.
Keep this same mindset when men kill women who two-time them
@@torachan23 Yup. Fair is fair.
Boom please
Thanks :)
We, your subscribers, have subscribed due to exactly what you do - the introduction, the booms, your style and everything else included.
Without *all* those elements, it wouldn't be "briefcase" that we know, appreciate & love.😁
Thanks :)
Here’s my 2 cents: while the introduction and booms may not be necessary, I personally consider them to be a trademark of your brand. Obviously the choice is ultimately yours, but I like them and would like to see them remain
Thanks :)
I like the booms too #bringbacktheboom
Well said, I agree.
I vote "keep the boom(s)"
I TOTALLY AGREE ‼️‼️‼️
I like the boom!! I'm a fourth grade teacher here in Kissimmee, Florida and I love listening to these while I eat my lunch every day!!
WOW! I am incapacitated for a few weeks and I come back to three great stories and major changes. I personally like the intro and boom sounds, and consider them hallmarks of your channel. Whatever you decide to do I’ll still be listening!
Thanks and get better soon
I'm in Texas also
Oh, BC, another great episode. I, truly missed the introduction, as I love “sitting back” and knowing where we are going for the story. I also love the “boom” sound effects. I’ve grown used to them and they are almost like a “comfort food” feeling for me. I know you will never be able to make everyone happy-so you do whatever is best for your channel, I will support you either way. ❤️
Thankyou so much :)
This was perfectly expressed!! The intro IS a comfort food
I think the" boom" narrates sections of the story and keeps the listener in-tune, just like a book has chapters :)
Thanks
Absolutely! It's a wonderfully chilling sound, appropriate for these videos!
Love ur videos, i watch them every monday after work. Love from finland
Thankyou so much :)
@@BriefCaseOfficial you are welcome!
Bring back the the intros and the booms!! I’ve come to expect that from Brief Case It makes it you 🧡
I love your entire program. I am all for the boom and sit back.....
please, keep doing your regular intro: "so sit back..". it's one of my favourite parts of your videos. also, bring back the BOOM!
I love listening to the episodes while I work on projects. I learn a lot and your narration is easy to follow. Cannot wait for the next one.
Thanks :)
Try listening when you're going to sleep. It usually takes me a couple stories but his voice is so soothing and the cadence he reads helps me get to sleep.
Love your stories. Wanted to say I love the transitional sounds in the video. I missed it in this one.
Love listening while i get ready for work🙂
I enjoyed today's feature about, Laura Fair it's a story that's old as the hills. A married man who cheats on his wife and has a mistress who he tells that he'll marry her, "one day." I personally miss your introduction to your stories, the boom sounds doesn't bother me either way. But, it's your preference because it's your channel, period! I'll still enjoy your channel, because I find it very interesting.
Your stories are amazing, such attention to detail.
Personally, I love the boom!!
Please reintroduce it!!
Folk have been following you, gripped by your historical crimes, all of the way through....so why rid the boom??
Thankyou :)
I like the boom sound. It builds suspense. When I hear that and see "The crime" I know sh** is about to get real. The intro sets the stage and builds some intrigue. I kind of wait with baited breath.. "ok so where are we today...". It felt like something was missing today.
I do prefer the sounds. It makes the story transitions more distinctive.
I'm disturbed that Mrs. Fair got off for committing murder, simply because the victim was unlikeable. This scenario is much a reflection of today's times. Too many people think the ends justify the means, because some people are unlikeable. It's not true. We all must be responsible for what we do.
I love the booms sounds and ALL the musics.
She should've know he'd lie again. She shouldn't have divorced her husband until he proved he had already gotten a divorce. He should have expected it. Don't lie!
Yeah, I was shocked that she did not wait until he divorced his wife before she divorced her husband. He wanted it both ways - make sure she is available to him year after year, but want to keep his married/family
I’m so excited I got this notification so quickly 😁😆❤️
Brief Case, Great episode! And yes, bring back the intro and Boom . I like them
Yeah definitely love the boom and suspense and dramatic effect a lot of these cases are dramatic kind of fits your tone and voice as well
Good morning, Brief Case!🌞🌞🌞
Morning :)
Keep The Boom, that was what got me hooked to your video in the first place.
I'm so excited to watch this your voice always makes me feel very comfortable and I love learning the stories. I'm trying to sleep right now so I can have enough energy to work at 5:00 to 11:30 p.m. shift tonight. I will be working for the next 8 days so I'm not super excited about it lol anyways I hope everyone has a really nice day and no matter what please don't be racist Be nice to yourself and be nice to others and be the change that we need as humans
I have never minded the booms but I admit I enjoyed the flow of this story without them. Thank you for another interesting tale!
Thanks for listening :)
I LOVE your introduction and Boom sound!👍
Every person has their breaking point and she reached her's... You can only be lied to and used for so long before you eventually lash out..
I know because I did it too although I didn't kill anyone but I made sure when I found out he was married his wife found out.. He had lied to me for almost a year, begged me to let him move in with me which thankfully I refused to do because there was something that always felt a little off.. Afterwards he tried hard to get me to be with him still lmao.. So he was really lucky I guess that I wasn't another Laura Fair
Don't change your intro please.. It's such a part of your podcast
She could have made the moral choice to leave a married man , she knew he was a liar and a cheater and she chose to stay
Chose to ruin his wife’s life as well? He was wrong, no doubt, but to make his wife suffer the pain you felt because of his wicked lies, is down right evil
@@dgw7732 She needed to know. Now if his wife decided to stay with him and, let’s say he cheats again-it’s on her.
I like the boom.
Thanks :)
Boom 👍👏
Me too 😀
I love the sound bring it back.
Oh wow a story starting out in Holly Springs Ms , lived in Memphis many years , I actually traveled back and forth to do acrylic nails ( I was a manicurist at the time) for a movie called Cookies Fortune (been years ago, maybe 20) great movie has big names but was low budget but I recommend👌 as I'm listening it interesting she ended up in Nevada wich is where I am now lol ( Reno) near Virginia City I grew up in Soda Springs near Lake Tahoe in an old hotel my parents owned built in the 1800's.
Such a sad story all the way around Laura sadly should have wished up and left him for good 💔 and realized he was a no good 2 timing man.
PS I LIKE THE BOOMS AND SPECIAL NOISES 🤗 bring em back , they make your stories even more interesting to me anyway👌👌👌And I like the intro...
Thankyou :)
South Lake Tahoe been going since I was a baby 1967 to our family cabin.
A piece of my heart is in Lake Tahoe 🦅
Was visiting Virginia City & Carson City since I was a kid
Agree with your PS!
@@Proverbs31_25 it's just beautiful here, when I lived in Tn my heart was always out this way too, glad to be back, I grew up here in 74🤗

Great video. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you. I like the format of your video here, but prefer the intro. and boom sounds. Again, thanks for putting out such great content.
I miss the extra sounds! It was part of your style!
Thanks :)
I like the intro: it's distinctive, and others imitate it because it's a good setting up of the story that is to follow. The other sounds are ok. I like to know we are going to another sector like :"The Trial". You have a good and nice format. I wouldn't touch it if I were you
Thankyou :)
Priscilla Watson I agree; the format is unique. Don’t touch it, BC!
She probably felt that he not only took advantage of her with his deceit, but also that she was made to look cheapened from it. She was infuriated and hated him for it. Although pre-meditated, this has overtones of second-degree murder. She should have known right from the beginning that her chances of leaving his wife for her were slim, however.
Please bring back both the typical intro., as well as the boom.
Also, I was literally disgusted by the behavior of literally everyone involved in this case.
She cheated on a good man.her 4 th husband
"If it ain't broke don't fix it."
I am late to the debate, but I enjoy the format you have been using over the one for this video. Although I have to admit this is one of my very favorite stories.
You are not too late - Thanks for the feedback :)
Congrats! 305K! Keep it up your great work! Did relisten 2 of your videos tonight. Thank you BC!
Thankyou Elke
@@BriefCaseOfficial
You are most than welcome!
Thank you, Brief Case!👏👏👏👏👏 I've heard this case somewhere else, but I like your video alot more! I feel like she was very young, and taken advantage of. He kept toying with her, and society was alot harsher, towards women than it is now. I was a Widow at 22, so I understand how devastating it is. I think she did snap. She admitted what she did, but her history before and after, shows she wasn't, by nature, a violent person. He played her, and his wife! I'll see you, in the next, Brief Case! Stay safe!!
Thankyou so much :)
@@BriefCaseOfficial you have a sunshiny day!!🌞🌞🌞🤗🤗
I noticed the lack of an introduction, but didn't notice the lack of booms until you said something.
I only saw this today and I LOVE the boom sounds. I think they add to the stories. Love all the cases. Please keep booming lol.
Thankyou
To spend that many years in love with a man . To believe his deception and web of lies . To find out that he is still in love with his wife and he has no intention of being honorable. Had to be soul crushing for her . Hence the reason she didn't flee after she shot him. Stress , shock , the realization that you have been made a fool. Can push anyone over the edge .
P.s. the transition boom was cool but either way is fine. It's your show and we came here to listen to your stories. Do what makes YOU happiest .
Love the show , thank you for all your hard work.
Dude please keep the boom sound. I really hope people arent commenting saying things to make you feel self conscious about your videos or editing, cause your channel is amazing and its growing! Keep on keeping on! BOOM
I LOVE and look forward to hearing the BOOM transition. Its like a signal to coming intrigue.
It’s your channel, and your content.
Boom away!
Thanks :)
