I bet she was a difficult mistress to look after. She probably at the very least had alcoholic induced dementia with paranoia. Obviously her wealthy family disowned her, but provided for her well.
I feel her. My neighbors wants to know everything about me too because I'm introverted and I don't go out my house. I've noticed them trying to look inside my house. I don't like that, I feel unsafe when they do that and I suffer from severe major depression and anxiety...I don't know what they think of me, but I'll like them to imagine that I don't exist and leave me alone.
Rachel, I have the same problem. I moved from a good size home I had for 33 years to a very small condo. I cherish my space and privacy and have always lived a peaceful, quiet life.

I work alot and I spend alot of my spare time gardening in my space on my days off. It's my sanctuary. I had people there looking in my windows, ask me personal questions that are none of thier business..also alot of questions about why I don't go to the pool, why do I do this and not do that. They have no boundaries and they find it strange that I don't communicate with anyone there. It wasn't my choice to move to a condo setting. Can't get into details, but I've been miserable for 3 years.since moving there and looking forward to moving out as soon as I can, financially. Until then, I am stuck. Just keep living the way you're living. Enjoy your life. I've come to realize the less interaction I have with my neighbors and the "community" the happier I am. Don't let them or anyone else change who you are. Hope you are doing well. 🙂 It's been a long while since you posted.
ok. but WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM? keeping a maid, keeping a home is never cheap. Plus she was elegant, which means she spent more than the basic on clothes, shoes etc. no one has an endless pit of money for an income. where did her money come from? this should give evidence of identity.
Out of everything, the maid was probably among the least of her expenses, as servant wages were so low at the time, compared to what we would expect today.
Such a very odd story. Somewhere there was a family quietly supporting her while wanting absolutely nothing to do with her. It's a shame that we'll never know who she really was.
I think she was mentally ill, paranoid, maybe schizophrenia or bi polar. Complicating it with alcoholic self medication. Was it sleep walking? Child like voice, trauma survivor? There was entirely too much arsenic around in those days. In the mourning clothes, the wall paper, in the kitchen! Such an easy solution to everyone's problems. We'll never know the truth. Thanks Brief Case, you always make my day more interesting!!

All day! Everyone should have BEEN gossip social distancing but we tune in 🥤🤓🍿 also she was socializing around pulling and pointing guns out of her Hermès handbag lol
It's always hard not to make assumptions on a person's mental health, especially when they have been dead for so long. But it's hard not to think that there was some truth in the gossip spread about her "strange behavior" being some kind of mental health issue. If she was funded by family, she probably did come from wealth. Even then, she was a rarity. Most people who suffered from any mental illness could have just as easily ended up in an institution for the rest of their lives. Phenomenal work as usual BC! Much love from the USA!
Mississippi Mud Maybe “they” had told her to be quiet, or she would lose her job. Remember those days weren’t nice to you, especially if you were a woman.
Yes it was true, women were under the thumb of men. They knew she killed this couple, so maybe having the maid and gardener be questioned, was considered a waste of time. Even if the poor dear, had a good lawyer, and was found not guilty, I'm sure she would of been found guilty of something. It was really horrible time to be a single woman, without children and drank in a bar without an escort...Oh the scandal she caused. Good one. Thank you Gosh, I wonder why they didn't put her in the "Home for the Criminally Insane" long before prison. Good stuff Brief Case! Carpe'diem!
*Plot twist* : Her wealthy father had murdered someone, so the family fled to hide out in a different state. The "housekeeper" Henrietta lived with, was actually her Mother, and the "gardener" was her wealthy Father. Henrietta displayed weird behaviour, so the townsfolk would always focus on her, therefore keeping attention away from her murderous father, hiding as her gardener. Mr Flannigan (the shopkeeper across the road) had cottoned onto something somehow, and had to be murdered, because he was trying to extort money from Henrietta, in return for keeping the fact that the 3 of them were a family, from the police. Henrietta wore the black veil in court so no one interstate recognized her (from her picture in the Newspaper) as the daughter of her wealthy father. Whose family had disappeared without a trace, after a local murder had occurred.
This is why the court of public opinion is dangerous. It still goes on to this very day even though we see more and more people are wrongful convicted because of it.. She sounds like she could possibly been suffering from mental illness.. Great story as usual my friend!! 🥰🥰
Whoever she was I feel a bit sorry for her. She was obviously severely mentally ill by today's standards, and those people didn't have to die...what a tragedy and a horrible way to go :(
@Savita Ram yes, it seems that the main piece of evidence was that she had arsenic which was easily attainable and in nearly every household of the time. The damning facts, however, is the timing of her visit and her claim to have "found" sugar and already adding it to the glasses. Her lifestyle was definitely used to sensationalize and bolster these things.
It always fascinates me how easy was to take another identity back in the 19tg century. So many rouge people did it. A fascinating story. Thanks for such great content an effort.
You know....I was thinking the same about myself. Introvert, sleep walking, mental issues. Thank God, I have a supportive and understanding family with access to today's medical system.
Ditto. Am a reclusive elderly lady stuck in a miserable city in the SW by circumstances. Have the obligatory 2 cats, creep out at night to shop, take out the trash,etc. Work a couple of nite shifts as a nurse, otherwise .......
That's what I'm saying. Everyone who knows me calls me weird. But if people kept talking about me in and out of my presence I'd go all out too. Not that I care what ppl think but at some point it's like wtf.
MsEllington@ don’t be too harsh on the circumstances that you are living in. Even though we have many problems, we’re still lucky to be living here. Things could always be worse 😕 Cats are great company & with free time , hobbies are actually very satisfying. Thank you for working in health care, it’s a tough profession & night shifts in ANY profession really suck. Be safe 🙂
@@nancyellington8881 This whole Covid-19 quarantine and isolation hasn't really changed my life at all. I've been practicing for it for years heh, heh.
@@cruisepaige - That may be true. But some people are perfectly comfortable with being alone and actually choose that way of life over what others consider "normal." The sad thing is the way she was treated simply for being single and childless hasn't changed all that much over the years. People are still treated like some kind of oddity if they dare to choose a life that doesn't include getting married and having children, or if they prefer solitude over socializing.
The picture shown at 1:41 is haunting. I can’t imagine how unsettled those in the court must have been when Henrietta arrived with that vail over her face...
It makes perfect sense that she was a member of a wealthy family, from which she was exiled for one reason or another. The governor's intervention seems to stand in favor this scenario. Who knows what she did to earn such a punishment, she was obviously an odd character, but a family of means would be able to provide her with the house and staff. It wouldn't be the first time a daughter or son had been 'put away' in such a manner. Interesting case, thanks again BC!! Stay safe :)
Clearly unstable, at the least, but not *necessarily* a threat to anyone - until she was. They didn't want the shame of having a relative committed, but also didn't want the shame of her erratic, volatile, and sometimes just bizarre behavior being publicly linked to them. Clearly she needed someone in more of a....*handler* sort of role. Perhaps an older woman as a "paid companion".
This was a very interesting and fascinating story about a woman with a mysterious past. I think if we could have known what the backstory of Henrietta Robinson was we probably would have been able to solve or at least put together the puzzle of her life. She seems as though she had mental health issues but also personality issues, as well. I didn't understand how her maid didn't know more about her than she did because she was obviously in her presence alot. The fact that she kept to herself is a vital clue in that she didn't want anyone to know who she really was.
It sounds to me like something horrible was done to her when she was a child, and was probably done by a close family member! It would explain why she couldn’t trust people being around her, because if you can’t tfeel safe and trust a family member you can’t trust anyone! They most likely would’ve come to her at night to do their evil deeds, and she ran out in her sleep clothes trying to escape. After trying to drink the pain and memories away she would probably have terrible dreams and flashbacks, briefly revert back to the age she was hurt at. That would explain why she would be seen fleeing her house in her night gown, and why she was speaking like a child!
PTSD and anxiety are an overdeveloped fear response. That means flight or *fight.* She was "quick to take offense" and point her gun at other people who approached or confronted her. Some people with PTSD or other anxiety disorders go on the offensive and become aggressive as a form of defense.
Self isolation, substance abuse, avoidance of conversation about past all signs of significant trauma Violent assaults were viewed differently back then. Victims were blamed and it brought shame to the family
I think that she was a traumatised individual too Jamie. I recognise PTSD in another person having lived with it myself. She's wary, has trust issues, has insomnia and sleepwalks, is mostly socially reclusive to avoid shame triggers and the draining effects of having to make small talk with strangers, and also feeling like you don't fit in with anyone else. She needed long-term trauma counselling and some antidepressants, poor woman. Her loneliness must have been a heavy load to bear, and she was just reaching out to the Lanagans but Mrs L was jealous and framed her for the murder.
Mysterious lady and great story. Re: the trial. Her lawyers should have requested a change of venue. I denied, it would have made a great appeal subject.
I think genetic genealogy would give us her true identity. That is if her body is still intact. I remember reading that when the Leatherman was excavated in order to conduct analyses on him the team only found rusted nails. Apparently the soil he was buried in is acidic and that destroyed his body.
This is my new favorite story from your channel. Henrietta Robinson was obviously mentally ill. My sister is a psychiatrist and she says Henrietta sounds like she was a schizophrenic. Sad that she killed two people due to her mental illness. Fantastic video BC!!!🙏👋🍻
My friend!!! Great episode as usual... Maybe she should of gotten Lizzie Borden's lawyer. Oh wait, wrong time period.🤔😉🤷 Anyway bro, my best to you and yours.👌👌👌
So, the community chose to spread gossip about a single woman who was independent and chose to live alone. The neighbors need to mind their business and leave her alone. Being beautiful and single is not a crime.
THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS DOES NOT MAKE HER A CRIMINAL, I'LL BET GOLD HAD JACK THE RIPPER TRIED TO ATTACK HER AND SHE SHOT HIM DEAD EVERYONE WOULD SAY SHE WAS A HERO...MEEOWS ۩
She obviously had money no matter what her issue was. They probably set her up to get rid of her. This was a great episode. One that is quite nebulous.
I also think that it was a frame job by Mrs Lannigan Conveniently be away during drinks, pin it on the unwell girl with no friends or loved ones to stand up for her
That's really interesting. I've had similar thoughts. Harriet sounds like she has PTSD. The one person she feels comfortable with (apart from her gardener and maid) is Mr Lanagan. She buys her food and alcohol from him. She even sits in his bar and has a drink. She's invited for lunch with the Lanagans, and she returns later in the afternoon, but Mr L isn't well, and he tells her to go away. Mrs L seems strangely antagonistic towards Harriet, and said that Harriet had some paper in her hand at lunch, but it could have been anything. Mrs L didn't have a drink. Harriet doesn't seem to have a motive for harming Mr L or Miss Lubee. I think that she had found a friend, and was trying to have some social interaction. PTSD is a very lonely thing to have, and a reclusive person doesn't let their guard down and spend time with others without a great deal of thought. I don't see any reason for Harriet to poison anyone. I suspect that people (Mrs L) were jealous of her beauty and independence. A vulnerable eccentric is an easy target. What testimony did Harriet's staff give of her behaviour before and after the poisoning? Was there arsenic at the Lanagan's house? Did they sell it downstairs in their shop? If so, how can they say that Harriet was responsible for the arsenic? The 'found some sugar already' by the time Mrs L returned is strange and unclear. Where was it from? Where is the evidence of it? Miss Lubee was sitting at the lunch table while it was all done, what did she say before she died? Why didn't Mrs L ask Harriet "where did you get some sugar from?" and make her show her, afterall Harriet was a guest in her house. Was there a film residue on the beer? Was it from soap residue? Does arsenic in beer leave a film? There are too many unanswered questions. Not enough evidence. Where is Harriet's testimony? Her police statement of what happened?
Did you miss the fact that she was going around pointing a revolver at people whenever she didn't like what they were saying or disagreed with them? Of course, this would get people to talk. That's not normal behaviour.
Thanks, again for another classic and well presented, as well as fascinating case. I have read some of the newspaper accounts and I am still puzzled by it. I especially liked the. photo of the general store. At 80 I can still remember stores not unlike this one !
I just wanted to say I love your channel and love what you do!! I saw one of your videos the other day and told my sister about it and since then we've been binging several for the last several nights. Thank you for formulating well thought out, straight forward history and pictures in a respectful and tastefully done matter, you don't get that as much these days.
She was running from something being so out of place with the properness at least in the fashion. What was her form of income for her sustenance and travel elsewhere for commodities or anything? Walking over to the bar sounds like she was lonely...
I agree. She sounds like she had PTSD from childhood trauma, and possibly C-PTSD from more trauma in adulthood. She has an upregulated startle response, and trust issues. PTSD is a very lonely thing to have, and her going over to the bar gave me the same impression that you had. She was lonely.
It seems that the evidence was all circumstantial. I think the “crime” here was that she kept her background hidden and was such gossip fodder that the all assumed she must have been guilty of something. Great presentation! Thank you.
I agree. Everyone just ran their mouths about what they thought they knew but had no first hand knowledge of. Even the poisoning; kinda strange it hits the husband and his sister in law, not anyone else, and who benefits? The wife who conveniently had to get back to work. I mean, if you think about it, having the town misfit sitting RIGHT THERE is an excellent chance to throw off suspicion and switch the blame to someone else. Someone who, by gossip and apparent fact, was wealthy and protected yet odd. Surely she wouldn't go down for the crime, but everyone would blame her for it.
Good Evening Brief Case, I got my notification this morning.And though most ppl enjoy you with their morning coffee.However,I prefer to have your company for dinner.It was all I could do not listen during my lunch.Dare I say, I made it.And my dinner wasn't so boring.Your talents are very much appreciated😎
I'm sorry, but she was going around pointing a revolver at people whenever she didn't like what they were saying or disagreed with them. Yes, she probably was mentally ill for such odd behaviour, but just because she was mentally ill doesn't make her innocent. She could very well have done those murders because she still might've held a grudge for the wife telling her earlier that day to leave the bar (which according to witnesses was more like an argument than a normal conversation).
Hello Kasey, Thats very Interesting, have you listened to the following Rita Gorgonowa, Louise Masset & Elizabeth Woolcock, I would very much like your feedback on those. I do not give my opinion on cases but I will say that I have reservations about one of them - Thanks :)
Strange that in 2020, all of us are quarantined, no job, stay inside. We r all living this closed up life. So no one can really gossip bc we r all in the same situation
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 I wonder who she really was? I think she may have been from a wealthy family and in those days mental illness was seen as an embarrassment to the family...heaven forbid the bloodline come into question 🤨 they financially supported her but that’s all. The Kennedy family had a daughter and they treated her terribly. So sad.
Love, love, 💘 your visual Cliffnotes of these bizarre incidents and I, a true crime fan both in the form of books as well as video, haven't run across any that I have heard before.
Very mysterious lady. It's sad because I'm sure in today's day and age, she'd have received the help she needed. I love love love the old photos by the way! Thanks for another video BC; it's such a joy to see the new video notifications come up.
Unfortunately that doesn't follow at all. Consider how many people with mental illness live on the streets even today . And we as a society have turned our backs on them.
I'm curious as to what makes one so sure and trustworthy of recieving proper treatment and/or healthcare in this current age?Truth is relative and one can be anything that they choose to "identify" with at any particular moment,lies are accepted as truth as long as it doesnt "offend"the easily offended,and one can buy a position of Lord over a variety of fields that should be trusted only to the most qualified,educated practitioners under much scrutiny and protocol.the health industry is now incorporated and privatized and the entire world is under control of evil minded madmen who hide in darkness while we have actors playing charades in an illusion of reality that is anything but.we have mad scientists dabbling in genetic modifications in all directions,and the results of are going to be horrific at very least.and that's not even the tip of the iceberg..This ship of fools is about to run right off into the ABYSS my friends.. may the Lord have mercy.
cases like this really annoy me, why can't people keep to themselves? of course, this is in small town america, where even today, your business is everyone's business. trust me, it can get brutal in small towns. in the victorian era, and probably up to the 1920s, if you were different, in any way, especially a woman, you were going to be talked about. in the 1850s, for a woman to be her age, with her beauty and not married with children was looked at as *very* strange. i agree she probably was hiding from something, she possibly had children and a family somewhere, or she was sent away from a very rich household, on account of the way she was, and given a nice cottage, a sum of money every month, and a maid + gardener. she may have been slightly mentally ill, but not too noticeable, as she was still sociable, she just had a few obscure oddities, like sleepwalking for hours on end, and being on edge at all times. i dunno, it's just a shame, a lot of these older cases would never happen today, because of the extremely close-mindedness of society back then.
I'm sorry, but she was going around pointing a revolver at people whenever she didn't like what they were saying or disagreed with them. Yes, she probably was mentally ill for such odd behaviour, but just because she was mentally ill doesn't make her innocent.

It still occurs in nice neighborhoods today. One couple will spread rumors about someone and it becomes the truth as people who don't know the person will spread the same story or embellish it that their children hear and also spread the same rubbish. It would be hilarious from hearing the falsehoods if wasn't so hateful which ruins an innocent person's reputation from someone who has never met the person and isn't likely to try and meet the person, who then becomes more isolated. Over the past 30+ years I have seen a neighborhood where people were friendly and helpful to their neighbors but as others move in, the dynamics have changed and people won't look at you or even raise their hand or nod to acknowledge your presence. One neighbor saw a fire truck and ambulance pass by to the end of our dead end road and wanted to know what I knew. Since we had already had an incident that involved a major police presence and a hazmat unit as well as a coroner at a different house several months before but wanted all the details to gossip about but wasn't offering help to the resident, I just don't participate in that situation. There's enough vicious rumors already that don't need to be added to. It is just as bad as a small town.
Good grief! What rumor's can do... I think she came from an affluent family and kept her identity secret as to not bring attention to them. Such a shame! Obviously, she was getting away from something and needed a quiet place to go. I feel bad for Henrietta, everyone suspected but no one just left her in peace. 🌟 What a sad but captivating video! Thank you BC! My Corgi's and I really enjoyed this one! It's inspiring me to do some art 🎨 ✍️ Thank you! Much love to all❣️❣️❣️ Cheers ✌️💙✨
Wealthy men often had a long term mistress they put up in some style back then (Lily Langtry etc in the UK at the time, mistress to the King). Maybe she had a wealthy lover.
I doubt she was someone's kept woman as she obviously had mental problems . I think some rich brother or other relative put her up in the cottage and provided for her .
I think Mrs managing did it the whole time! How else would everybody know her biz?? The husband wouldn't say nothing he wanted her biz, the wife told the tales then killed off the hubby n other lady.
I'm sorry, but she was going around pointing a revolver at people whenever she didn't like what they were saying or disagreed with them.

michelle L Me too I think Henrietta was a convenient scapegoat maybe Mrs Lanigan took out life insurance on her husband and and her sister in law something doesn't add up.
What a pity she couldn't find a confidant in her maid. She sounds like she was running from something or someone or maybe was ashamed. I feel sorry for her 😔
Yeah. Thankfully medicine has advanced so if Henrietta was alive today she could be treated with the proper medication if she had a mental condition such as schizophrenia. If she had dissociative identity disorder then therapy to help her deal with potential trauma would have helped.
I always wondered how people with mental illness managed to cope in those days. Not much knowledge about the illness and not any medication. I am not really surprised there was so many murders committed in those days. So glad i wasn't around then. Looking forward to the next brief case. 😂Please keep them coming B C, Can't be without them now.

Ive been a sub for a long time and totally love your channel, i dont no how i missed this one, many thanks for all your hard work, we throughly appreciate it 😊
Clearly, there was some mental instability. Pulling out a gun on people who annoyed you in public is not something that would have been tolerated back then, and isn't nowadays either. How did she avoid going to jail? I think someone was greasing some palms. More likely, that of her victims to get them not to press charges. The servants and having her own place, with no means of income means she had either money, or again someone behind the scenes taking care of her expenses. I do think she killed. When she was arrested, her hidden benefactor may have decided she had gone too far. Perhaps choosing to no longer help her. Leaving her on her own.

Including who if anyone wrote her letters or sent her money. That's what I'm curious about.

@@suzanneyoung6273 I remember.
Yes it was true, women were under the thumb of men. They knew she killed this couple, so maybe having the maid and gardener be questioned, was considered a waste of time.
Even if the poor dear, had a good lawyer, and was found not guilty, I'm sure she would of been found guilty of something. It was really horrible time to be a single woman, without children and drank in a bar without an escort...Oh the scandal she caused.

Mr Flannigan (the shopkeeper across the road) had cottoned onto something somehow, and had to be murdered, because he was trying to extort money from Henrietta, in return for keeping the fact that the 3 of them were a family, from the police.
Henrietta wore the black veil in court so no one interstate recognized her (from her picture in the Newspaper) as the daughter of her wealthy father. Whose family had disappeared without a trace, after a local murder had occurred.
This is why the court of public opinion is dangerous. It still goes on to this very day even though we see more and more people are wrongful convicted because of it.. She sounds like she could possibly been suffering from mental illness.. Great story as usual my friend!! 🥰🥰
Thanks :)
It's very evident that she was mentally unwell. Poor woman.
People are nosey af, aren't they?!
RIGHT!!!
Top Commemt!
A lot of single good looking women would face same speculations even these days In 2020
We're social mammals. We're kinda obsessed with eachother.
@@niharikapasricha5346 Same with men.
Whoever she was I feel a bit sorry for her. She was obviously severely mentally ill by today's standards, and those people didn't have to die...what a tragedy and a horrible way to go :(
This was a very interesting story. Very mysterious character. I really enjoyed this Mondays video you guys. Thank you very much!! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Is it ridiculous that I paused at 0:23 to screenshot that dress because I love it so much and want one and I don’t even know what she did yet?
Love the dress too..
I love it too. Did you notice how the width of the stripes differs to enhance the 3D effect
Might be ridiculous but I couldn't keep my eyes off of that dress. Dayum...ty Briefy...I'm here every day now...👻
Lol….. I did the same thing when I saw that dress! It’s truly fabulous. ❤️
Robinson reminds me of Ms. Havisham from Great Expectations
She may be guilty, but the prosecutor's case was purely circumstantial.
True
@Dave Smith Thanks for sharing.
@Savita Ram yes, it seems that the main piece of evidence was that she had arsenic which was easily attainable and in nearly every household of the time. The damning facts, however, is the timing of her visit and her claim to have "found" sugar and already adding it to the glasses. Her lifestyle was definitely used to sensationalize and bolster these things.
It always fascinates me how easy was to take another identity back in the 19tg century. So many rouge people did it. A fascinating story. Thanks for such great content an effort.
Thankyou so much, are you also known as G&HB :)
Glad I didn’t live back then. If they thought she was weird “wait till they get a load of me” haha 😂
You know....I was thinking the same about myself. Introvert, sleep walking, mental issues. Thank God, I have a supportive and understanding family with access to today's medical system.
Ditto. Am a reclusive elderly lady stuck in a miserable city in the SW by circumstances. Have the obligatory 2 cats, creep out at night to shop, take out the trash,etc. Work a couple of nite shifts as a nurse, otherwise .......
That's what I'm saying. Everyone who knows me calls me weird. But if people kept talking about me in and out of my presence I'd go all out too. Not that I care what ppl think but at some point it's like wtf.
MsEllington@ don’t be too harsh on the circumstances that you are living in. Even though we have many problems, we’re still lucky to be living here. Things could always be worse 😕 Cats are great company & with free time , hobbies are actually very satisfying. Thank you for working in health care, it’s a tough profession & night shifts in ANY profession really suck. Be safe 🙂
@@nancyellington8881 This whole Covid-19 quarantine and isolation hasn't really changed my life at all. I've been practicing for it for years heh, heh.
Maybe she just gave zero F's to what society thought of her
Not really a bad thing...
💯😆
Whats wrong with sheeple?
No person is an island.
@@cruisepaige - That may be true. But some people are perfectly comfortable with being alone and actually choose that way of life over what others consider "normal." The sad thing is the way she was treated simply for being single and childless hasn't changed all that much over the years. People are still treated like some kind of oddity if they dare to choose a life that doesn't include getting married and having children, or if they prefer solitude over socializing.
Brief Case, another great Story, your beautiful voice makes it easier to listen to
Thankyou so much :)
The picture shown at 1:41 is haunting.
I can’t imagine how unsettled those in the court must have been when Henrietta arrived with that vail over her face...
It makes perfect sense that she was a member of a wealthy family, from which she was exiled for one reason or another. The governor's intervention seems to stand in favor this scenario. Who knows what she did to earn such a punishment, she was obviously an odd character, but a family of means would be able to provide her with the house and staff. It wouldn't be the first time a daughter or son had been 'put away' in such a manner. Interesting case, thanks again BC!! Stay safe :)
Clearly unstable, at the least, but not *necessarily* a threat to anyone - until she was. They didn't want the shame of having a relative committed, but also didn't want the shame of her erratic, volatile, and sometimes just bizarre behavior being publicly linked to them.
Clearly she needed someone in more of a....*handler* sort of role. Perhaps an older woman as a "paid companion".
@@Cec9e13 Interesting point you've made.
This was a very interesting and fascinating story about a woman with a mysterious past. I think if we could have known what the backstory of Henrietta Robinson was we probably would have been able to solve or at least put together the puzzle of her life. She seems as though she had mental health issues but also personality issues, as well. I didn't understand how her maid didn't know more about her than she did because she was obviously in her presence alot. The fact that she kept to herself is a vital clue in that she didn't want anyone to know who she really was.
Her family obviously disowned her for some reason & gave her some money to go away
Or she disowned them and her money was an inheritance from other part of her family.
That was some story. Lord have mercy. It is 9am in NYC and this perked me right up. Thank God for this channel.
It sounds to me like something horrible was done to her when she was a child, and was probably done by a close family member! It would explain why she couldn’t trust people being around her, because if you can’t tfeel safe and trust a family member you can’t trust anyone! They most likely would’ve come to her at night to do their evil deeds, and she ran out in her sleep clothes trying to escape. After trying to drink the pain and memories away she would probably have terrible dreams and flashbacks, briefly revert back to the age she was hurt at. That would explain why she would be seen fleeing her house in her night gown, and why she was speaking like a child!
Nailed it.
So much mental illness is just a reasonable response to unbearable trauma.
PTSD and anxiety are an overdeveloped fear response.
That means flight or *fight.*
She was "quick to take offense" and point her gun at other people who approached or confronted her.
Some people with PTSD or other anxiety disorders go on the offensive and become aggressive as a form of defense.
This was an interesting one. Thank you for your video!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Self isolation, substance abuse, avoidance of conversation about past all signs of significant trauma
Violent assaults were viewed differently back then. Victims were blamed and it brought shame to the family
I think that she was a traumatised individual too Jamie.
I recognise PTSD in another person having lived with it myself.
She's wary, has trust issues, has insomnia and sleepwalks, is mostly socially reclusive to avoid shame triggers and the draining effects of having to make small talk with strangers, and also feeling like you don't fit in with anyone else. She needed long-term trauma counselling and some antidepressants, poor woman. Her loneliness must have been a heavy load to bear, and she was just reaching out to the Lanagans but Mrs L was jealous and framed her for the murder.
YES! My Monday is complete now :) Thank you so much yet again for this interesting video! Be safe :)
Mysterious lady and great story. Re: the trial. Her lawyers should have requested a change of venue. I denied, it would have made a great appeal subject.
I think genetic genealogy would give us her true identity. That is if her body is still intact. I remember reading that when the Leatherman was excavated in order to conduct analyses on him the team only found rusted nails. Apparently the soil he was buried in is acidic and that destroyed his body.
This is my new favorite story from your channel. Henrietta Robinson was obviously mentally ill. My sister is a psychiatrist and she says Henrietta sounds like she was a schizophrenic. Sad that she killed two people due to her mental illness. Fantastic video BC!!!🙏👋🍻
thats my theory too self medicating with the booze, her family probably gave her a monthly allowance to live alone rather than deal with her
I think she was innocent.
@@tombillard5264 And they were probably very well-to-do.
My friend!!! Great episode as usual... Maybe she should of gotten Lizzie Borden's lawyer. Oh wait, wrong time period.🤔😉🤷 Anyway bro, my best to you and yours.👌👌👌
Yes probably would have worked for her :)
Another interesting story I never knew of. Thank you. 👊👊👊👊
So, the community chose to spread gossip about a single woman who was independent and chose to live alone. The neighbors need to mind their business and leave her alone. Being beautiful and single is not a crime.
Did you miss the part about the revolver she carried in her purse? And pointed at people?
I TOTALLY AGREE AND I HATE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOSY AND GO AROUND GOSSIPING,
MY BUSINESS IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS..PERIOD..MEOWS ۩
THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS DOES NOT MAKE HER A CRIMINAL,
I'LL BET GOLD HAD JACK THE RIPPER TRIED TO ATTACK HER AND SHE SHOT HIM DEAD EVERYONE WOULD SAY SHE WAS A HERO...MEEOWS ۩
@@gothicchildcreations3410 No, but if I got a gun pointed at me, I wouldn't like the woman!
DON'T WORRY...
SHE WON'T POINT HER GUN AT YOU PROBABLY JUST INVITE YOU TO HAVE A COLD BEER LACED WITH ARSENIC POISON LOL...MEEOWS ۩
that black and white striped dress in the beginning is amazing
She obviously had money no matter what her issue was. They probably set her up to get rid of her. This was a great episode. One that is quite nebulous.
I also think that it was a frame job by Mrs Lannigan
Conveniently be away during drinks, pin it on the unwell girl with no friends or loved ones to stand up for her
Makes sense, given how she seemed to openly dislike her, as her husband gave her much attention.
That's really interesting. I've had similar thoughts.
Harriet sounds like she has PTSD. The one person she feels comfortable with (apart from her gardener and maid) is Mr Lanagan. She buys her food and alcohol from him. She even sits in his bar and has a drink. She's invited for lunch with the Lanagans, and she returns later in the afternoon, but Mr L isn't well, and he tells her to go away. Mrs L seems strangely antagonistic towards Harriet, and said that Harriet had some paper in her hand at lunch, but it could have been anything.
Mrs L didn't have a drink.
Harriet doesn't seem to have a motive for harming Mr L or Miss Lubee.
I think that she had found a friend, and was trying to have some social interaction.
PTSD is a very lonely thing to have, and a reclusive person doesn't let their guard down and spend time with others without a great deal of thought.
I don't see any reason for Harriet to poison anyone.
I suspect that people (Mrs L) were jealous of her beauty and independence. A vulnerable eccentric is an easy target.
What testimony did Harriet's staff give of her behaviour before and after the poisoning?
Was there arsenic at the Lanagan's house? Did they sell it downstairs in their shop? If so, how can they say that Harriet was responsible for the arsenic?
The 'found some sugar already' by the time Mrs L returned is strange and unclear. Where was it from? Where is the evidence of it? Miss Lubee was sitting at the lunch table while it was all done, what did she say before she died? Why didn't Mrs L ask Harriet "where did you get some sugar from?" and make her show her, afterall Harriet was a guest in her house.
Was there a film residue on the beer? Was it from soap residue? Does arsenic in beer leave a film?
There are too many unanswered questions. Not enough evidence. Where is Harriet's testimony? Her police statement of what happened?
Oooo good theory! Never thought of this one
Good Monday morning. Payday, coffee, and BC. *sighs in contentment* Amazing story as usual, and a very interesting story indeed.
Why can't people mind there own Biz and try to rap those small minds around the fact that everyone has a different personality! ! !
Did you miss the fact that she was going around pointing a revolver at people whenever she didn't like what they were saying or disagreed with them? Of course, this would get people to talk. That's not normal behaviour.
Thanks, again for another classic and well presented, as well as fascinating case. I have read some of the newspaper accounts and I am still puzzled by it. I especially liked the. photo of the general store. At 80 I can still remember stores not unlike this one !
Thankyou, Stay Safe :)
Yay... So happy for a new case. Love your channel BC.
I just wanted to say I love your channel and love what you do!!

Thanks guys, I really needed this.
She was running from something being so out of place with the properness at least in the fashion. What was her form of income for her sustenance and travel elsewhere for commodities or anything? Walking over to the bar sounds like she was lonely...
I agree.
She sounds like she had PTSD from childhood trauma, and possibly C-PTSD from more trauma in adulthood. She has an upregulated startle response, and trust issues.
PTSD is a very lonely thing to have, and her going over to the bar gave me the same impression that you had. She was lonely.
Yay... I really enjoyed these brief case files they make my day , thank you so much for your hard work.
Thanks for another amazing video!
Thankyou, Did you vote on the community post :)
It seems that the evidence was all circumstantial. I think the “crime” here was that she kept her background hidden and was such gossip fodder that the all assumed she must have been guilty of something.
Great presentation! Thank you.
Thanks :)
I agree. Everyone just ran their mouths about what they thought they knew but had no first hand knowledge of. Even the poisoning; kinda strange it hits the husband and his sister in law, not anyone else, and who benefits? The wife who conveniently had to get back to work. I mean, if you think about it, having the town misfit sitting RIGHT THERE is an excellent chance to throw off suspicion and switch the blame to someone else. Someone who, by gossip and apparent fact, was wealthy and protected yet odd. Surely she wouldn't go down for the crime, but everyone would blame her for it.
Good Evening Brief Case, I got my notification this morning.And though most ppl enjoy you with their morning coffee.However,I prefer to have your company for dinner.It was all I could do not listen during my lunch.Dare I say, I made it.And my dinner wasn't so boring.Your talents are very much appreciated😎
Thank you so much :)
It’s sad that moving to a new city and perhaps changing her name was the only thing that the community used to convict her.
I'm sorry, but she was going around pointing a revolver at people whenever she didn't like what they were saying or disagreed with them. Yes, she probably was mentally ill for such odd behaviour, but just because she was mentally ill doesn't make her innocent. She could very well have done those murders because she still might've held a grudge for the wife telling her earlier that day to leave the bar (which according to witnesses was more like an argument than a normal conversation).
@@Slothicans The arguement happened AFTER their drinking session, and after their feeling unwell.
Well she poisoned people so she shouldn't have done that.
Also buying arsenic and killing people with it.
Great video BC thank you! ✨
Wow, amazing!
Another great video.
Thanks :)
Know what is awesome? The way BC has that suspenseful deliberate pause when he says " at ..-- (time/ day)Mr.-- -----died." Totally priceless!
Thankyou :)
To be honest, this is the first case that I can honestly say, that I don’t think she did it. It’s kinda cut wrenching. My heart dropped.
Hello Kasey, Thats very Interesting, have you listened to the following Rita Gorgonowa, Louise Masset & Elizabeth Woolcock, I would very much like your feedback on those. I do not give my opinion on cases but I will say that I have reservations about one of them - Thanks :)
Wait wait I'm late can't forget my brief case. love .thank you for allowing me here
So fascinating! Just imagine. In 2020 knowing about this strange mysterious woman. Who would have known that she’d be talked about 150 years later!!
Strange that in 2020, all of us are quarantined, no job, stay inside. We r all living this closed up life. So no one can really gossip bc we r all in the same situation
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
I wonder who she really was? I think she may have been from a wealthy
family and in those days mental illness was seen as an embarrassment to the family...heaven forbid the bloodline come into question 🤨 they financially supported her but that’s all. The Kennedy family had a daughter and they treated her terribly. So sad.
Just discovered your channel and I'm hooked! Great content, just enough details, and truly entertaining. Keep up the good work!
Thankyou so much
I have just discovered your channel and binge watching your videos. The story telling is superb and absorbing

Really loved this one. So mysterious. Ty brief case. BEST TH-camR EVER!
Thank you for telling us of another fascinating case.
Love, love, 💘 your visual Cliffnotes of these bizarre incidents and I, a true crime fan both in the form of books as well as video, haven't run across any that I have heard before.
Thanks BC. Always so interesting . To BC & everyone , everywhere . Please take care.
Very mysterious lady. It's sad because I'm sure in today's day and age, she'd have received the help she needed. I love love love the old photos by the way! Thanks for another video BC; it's such a joy to see the new video notifications come up.
Unfortunately that doesn't follow at all. Consider how many people with mental illness live on the streets even today . And we as a society have turned our backs on them.
I'm curious as to what makes one so sure and trustworthy of recieving proper treatment and/or healthcare in this current age?Truth is relative and one can be anything that they choose to "identify" with at any particular moment,lies are accepted as truth as long as it doesnt "offend"the easily offended,and one can buy a position of Lord over a variety of fields that should be trusted only to the most qualified,educated practitioners under much scrutiny and protocol.the health industry is now incorporated and privatized and the entire world is under control of evil minded madmen who hide in darkness while we have actors playing charades in an illusion of reality that is anything but.we have mad scientists dabbling in genetic modifications in all directions,and the results of are going to be horrific at very least.and that's not even the tip of the iceberg..This ship of fools is about to run right off into the ABYSS my friends.. may the Lord have mercy.
Thank you for the hard work!
Thanks :)
cases like this really annoy me, why can't people keep to themselves? of course, this is in small town america, where even today, your business is everyone's business. trust me, it can get brutal in small towns. in the victorian era, and probably up to the 1920s, if you were different, in any way, especially a woman, you were going to be talked about. in the 1850s, for a woman to be her age, with her beauty and not married with children was looked at as *very* strange. i agree she probably was hiding from something, she possibly had children and a family somewhere, or she was sent away from a very rich household, on account of the way she was, and given a nice cottage, a sum of money every month, and a maid + gardener. she may have been slightly mentally ill, but not too noticeable, as she was still sociable, she just had a few obscure oddities, like sleepwalking for hours on end, and being on edge at all times. i dunno, it's just a shame, a lot of these older cases would never happen today, because of the extremely close-mindedness of society back then.
You said it all. In a way I feel sorry for her. I am sure she was shunned, and ridiculed and finally snapped.
I'm sorry, but she was going around pointing a revolver at people whenever she didn't like what they were saying or disagreed with them. Yes, she probably was mentally ill for such odd behaviour, but just because she was mentally ill doesn't make her innocent. She could very well have done those murders because she still might've held a grudge for the wife telling her earlier that day to leave the bar (which according to witnesses was more like an argument than a normal conversation).
It still occurs in nice neighborhoods today. One couple will spread rumors about someone and it becomes the truth as people who don't know the person will spread the same story or embellish it that their children hear and also spread the same rubbish. It would be hilarious from hearing the falsehoods if wasn't so hateful which ruins an innocent person's reputation from someone who has never met the person and isn't likely to try and meet the person, who then becomes more isolated. Over the past 30+ years I have seen a neighborhood where people were friendly and helpful to their neighbors but as others move in, the dynamics have changed and people won't look at you or even raise their hand or nod to acknowledge your presence. One neighbor saw a fire truck and ambulance pass by to the end of our dead end road and wanted to know what I knew. Since we had already had an incident that involved a major police presence and a hazmat unit as well as a coroner at a different house several months before but wanted all the details to gossip about but wasn't offering help to the resident, I just don't participate in that situation. There's enough vicious rumors already that don't need to be added to. It is just as bad as a small town.
@@tastx3142 great points 👏 I think people who gossip are cowards.

Good grief! What rumor's can do... I think she came from an affluent family and kept her identity secret as to not bring attention to them.
Such a shame! Obviously, she was getting away from something and needed a quiet place to go. I feel bad for Henrietta, everyone suspected but no one just left her in peace.

Thanks for uploading. Another really interesting story.
Thankyou so much :)
Wealthy men often had a long term mistress they put up in some style back then (Lily Langtry etc in the UK at the time, mistress to the King). Maybe she had a wealthy lover.
I doubt she was someone's kept woman as she obviously had mental problems . I think some rich brother or other relative put her up in the cottage and provided for her .
I think Mrs managing did it the whole time! How else would everybody know her biz?? The husband wouldn't say nothing he wanted her biz, the wife told the tales then killed off the hubby n other lady.
I'm sorry, but she was going around pointing a revolver at people whenever she didn't like what they were saying or disagreed with them.

@@Slothicans She was probably scared when she pointed the revolver at people, there's no proof she actually poisoned anyone.
michelle L Me too I think Henrietta was a convenient scapegoat maybe Mrs Lanigan took out life insurance on her husband and and her sister in law something doesn't add up.
Great narration bud a job well done as usual. Have a good week and I'm looking forward to next weeks story.
Thanks, you too :)
What a pity she couldn't find a confidant in her maid. She sounds like she was running from something or someone or maybe was ashamed. I feel sorry for her 😔
Yeah. Thankfully medicine has advanced so if Henrietta was alive today she could be treated with the proper medication if she had a mental condition such as schizophrenia. If she had dissociative identity disorder then therapy to help her deal with potential trauma would have helped.
A fascinating case! thank you, Brief Case!.
Thanks :)
Thank you once again BC. Some really interesting comments on this one. I was so hoping we would know who Henrietta really was.
I always wondered how people with mental illness managed to cope in those days. Not much knowledge about the illness and not any medication. I am not really surprised there was so many murders committed in those days. So glad i wasn't around then.
Looking forward to the next brief case. 😂Please keep them coming B C, Can't be without them now.

Very interesting case as always. Thanks for and interesting story to start my week
I was getting the witch from Hansel and Gretel vibes when he was talking about the cottage she lived in.
It wasn't made of gingerbread !
Clearly, there was some mental instability. Pulling out a gun on people who annoyed you in public is not something that would have been tolerated back then, and isn't nowadays either. How did she avoid going to jail? I think someone was greasing some palms. More likely, that of her victims to get them not to press charges. The servants and having her own place, with no means of income means she had either money, or again someone behind the scenes taking care of her expenses. I do think she killed. When she was arrested, her hidden benefactor may have decided she had gone too far. Perhaps choosing to no longer help her. Leaving her on her own.
