IDK where you find these stories, but you do a great job and presenting the facts and allowing those who were murdered a voice in history.
He trawls through old newspapers.
Pinning a compliment? Nice…
I know this story well, and have left quite a few pennies on her grave, over the years. I live within walking distance of the cemetery where she is buried.
he's reading like a child from a book of murder cases
She was surrounded by disgusting little men whom she thought she could trust.
RIP Pearl.🙏
@Neko Tengu get lost troll!
and my great grandmother used to say how chaste girls were back then.
@@TheRetirednavy92 And how gentlemanly men were????
The saddest part of this story is that women still fall victim to violent crime for the same reason.
I'm actually quite impressed how the police identified her body without a head. At this time detective work was still it's infancy, and not much could be done to identify someone.
Thé thing that strikes me about this part is that now only very expensive things could be traced that way. 😊
So true.
@@yvettedesmarais8107 same back them.not every shoe was traceable.only high grade goods.
It was also a time when bought shoes would get resoled when the bottoms wore out, not tossed and replaced by a new pair.
I think they benefitted from the size of the population. People interacted and knew about each other. People could be identified but hands, jewelry, clothing, boots….literally everything. Even at this later date things weren’t mass produced enough to inhibit identifying clothing from a specific shop
What a senseless and cowardice act to murder a woman just because she was with child. I'm sure back in that time as we often hear that unwed pregnancies weren't socially acceptable, but to murder a young woman AND her baby to cover it up? Sadly, two people were murdered that evening- Pearl and her baby. 😢
I pray she's at peace.
@Lavender Trebuchet Because most people are brainwashed by movies and Hallmark cards, and the "happy family" "everyone has a good heart deep down" lies.
@mehrimazdeh4263 well if guys used protection they wouldn't have to deal with the news...
How horrible her experience must have been. The disappointment in her boyfriend and then all those drugs, then they murder her violently while she is pregnant. How horrible.
That's what I was about to say - there are so many stories about pregnant women being unalived. Ruth Brown is another one.
@Lavender Trebuchet oh, great, victim shaming 😡 how about he would’ve kept it in his pants, or since he was not able to, was a real man and took responsibility? And if a man nowadays doesn’t want kids, just get a little snip and the issue is solved - in most cases even reversible if they ever change their minds.
Once again we see that the “perfect” appearance can hide the most despicable character. 126 years later and people still haven’t figured this out.
Fair play to the police tracing her shoes to identify her back in the days before forensics etc. Rest in peace pearl, you did not deserve this ❤
Back to a time when shoes could actually be traced.
Now, they could be anyone’s that bought trash from Wal*Mart.
Nowdays shoes are quick made, just turned out like boxes. There's no such thing as shoe lasts anymore. People won't pay a cobbler today. Very sad.
So tragic. Poor Pearl. 😢 I tend to lean with the theory that Pearl was murdered and decapitated where she was found because the Coroner had said about the amount of blood in that location. As for those who visited the site to collect blood stained grass etc. including the shop owner which sold them, their actions were so abhorrent. 😤
For some reason people have always been fascinated with the macabre. They did the same thing at a lot of other murder scenes. They took raisins off a cake made by the daughter at a scene where the father killed his entire family except for one child that wasn’t home at the time.
Plus the defensive wounds they found on her arms and hands
@@meredithjohnson2843 that to.
@@melanie142able Why wouldn't people be interested?? Okay, I don't want those raisins though
Understand that though it doesn’t make it any less abhorrent as despite the times in that era, obviously many chose not to be so macabre. Likely would still happen in current era.
Why would William introduce Pearl to Scott knowing that Scott wasn't very "honorable"? Also, why didn't he tell her parents where she actually was (when she didn't return)? I have to wonder if he was more than an accessory to what had happened.
For clout? To impress him? Cause he values a mans opinion of him more than Pearl?
What a horrible man her cousin was for introducing her to Scott Jackson.
Thank you for bringing up that point. Her cousin surely knew the morals of this guy.
It’s so freaky to hear a story like this about a place you’ve lived before. It’s easy to forget about the lives of those who came before. Rest In Peace, Pearl and baby.
I live here now. I work in Newport, live in Ft Thomas. It is striking.
Poor Pearl. She died in a brutal way. Thank you for this historical piece.
The police were diligent and the shop actually had the receipt with her name on it! So Pearl’s story is able to have an ending and doesn’t disappear into a missing person mist.
They did a much better job back then, with less resources
Today's coppers couldn't organise a p*ss up in a brewery
I love the way you describe it as a "missing person mist!"
@@valeriemarott1923 Thank you. Those missing person cases with no answers are just awful to hear about in general- such a harshly, wispy loss!
I will never tire of hearing you say phrases like “ someone of a rather reckless disposition”
IT'S NOT A MONDAY WITHOUT A BRIEF CASE VIDEO, LETS GOOOOOO
Happy 😊 Monday
LFG!!!
Truth!
I agree. Need it
😍
Ugh. Another story supporting my opinion that there was as much bad stuff happening in “the good old days” as now. RIP Pearl.
I have an uncle that has always said “The worlds not getting worse. It’s just that we hear about more with the news on television and the internet.
Lies and betrayal - what a nasty piece of work he was
Once you hear “with child” you already know what’s about to happen with these videos 🤦🏾🤦🏾
Sorry :(
@@BriefCaseOfficial it ok…I’m an adult and can handle it 🤣🤣🤣
...Or ------- 'In a delicate condition.' Teeheeheeheehee !
Surely she was killed for being pregnant. Pity D.N.A. was not a thing then, else it would be clear who the father was. Some people can really be vicious monsters, with no feelings at all. We still have them today. It's scary as hell.
Poor mother and child. Very sad. Very brutal
I was delighted to know that Scott Jackson was found guilty. The trial made me nervous because of the unreliable witness, and the defense had a smart attorney. I was worried they would have a mistrial or that Jackson would be found innocent. What a relief he wasn't.
Thank you for such a suspenseful story. I was totally intrigued.
Thanks Pauline
@@BriefCaseOfficial ❤️🏴☠️🖤you rock
It's not often I end a brief case without a firm opinion on what really happened in the crime, but I definitely think the accused were the guilty parties. Thank you for this distraction from reality, always much appreciated!
Thanks Holly
Poor pearl and the fact ppl went to where she died to collect grass and twigs…disgusting
Good morning all from South Jersey USA
Hello, Jersey is featured today :)
What a horrific way to die. Thanks BC for another well researched case from the 19th century. 🕊
Although two people paid with their lives for Pearl's murder, the exact story of her death will forever remain a mystery as there are still many unanswered questions to this day. Great work by the detectives of the time tracking down the makers of her shoes that led to the store, the city and ultimately her identification and family. Good story, Brief Case. Thank you for telling it to us.
Why do I get the feeling Mr Jackson wasn’t just interested in young ladies!
Great content as usual,you work so hard! Thank you. Have a grand week 💚
Thanks for watching!
Great job from the detectives!
Poor Pearl.... just wanted to be loved and unfortunately, met with these monsters =(
Wow I thought the name Pearl Bryan sounded familiar! This is actually the case tied to an infamous haunted dance hall in KY called Bobby Mackeys. It used to be a slaughter house and it was said that they threw her head down a well in the basement. This was interesting bc not much has been said about Pearl herself and her life.
I knew I recognized the name! Thanks
That poor woman. This breaks my heart. I appreciate you Mr. Bc thanks for your hard work
Thanks Shannon
It almost surprises me that sick individuals were all around back then too. How cruel to her family. If it was me they would have been haunted by me and not had a moments rest until they hung. I love you BC. I’m never ever let down 😊
Brief Case-just in time for bed. I usually include my beloved cat in this ritual, but he passed away 3 weeks ago at the age of 18. Thank you @briefcase for your part in our nighttime routine. RIP Wolfie.❤
I am so sorry, its always sad to lose a beloved pet
Thank you. I appreciate you.
@@harlowblackadder356 I'm so very sorry about your cat. 😢 It is so hard to lose a companion after so many years!
I'm so sorry. I lost my beloved Mango last year after 19 WONDERFUL years together.
What gets me through, is telling myself how very lucky I am to have gotten to spend *that* much time with my Best Friend. It helps a little bit. They would live forever for us if they could.
Blessings to you, and your Feline Companion.
Aw... I had a guinea pig named Wolfie. You have my sympathies
My God, how can you be so Evil just because she was pregnant
There could be a brief case every day and I'd never get tired of it, watching them rekindled my love of history so adding true crime to it is heaven and can only be presented by the best there's only one brief case
Such a horrendous murder RIP to her
It's one of the worst things when a killer doesn't give up the location of a victims body. If they already are caught, why not? I wish officials did whatever it took to get answers for the victims loved ones.
What do you mean by “whatever it took”?
@@maddieb.4282insane levels of torture if they are proven to be guilty of murders
Good morning Brief Case.
Good Morning Joanne, first comment well done :)
The young Jackson had already shown signs of a devious character, which his mother strived to conceal. An error if ever there was one. R. I. P. Pearl. Good story B. C.
So, here I am listening to one more of your outstanding criminal tales, when I heard the town of New Castle Indiana mentioned. My father's father was born there in 1889; ok enough about me.
It strikes me deeply how these trusting young women give their trust and hearts to men who lead them into "Love" only to be a victim of murder....
Well Done
Thank You
Looking forward to the next Brief Case 🤓
I thought you said they found cocaine in her stomach so maybe she died from an accidental overdose. Perhaps they gave her that to sedate her and overdosed her before beginning the procedure.
"Throughout the 1890s, doctors administered inappropriate doses of cocaine to patients causing toxicity, which was potentially fatal."
This case was the catalyst for the Bobby Mackey’s haunting in Northern Kentucky
Good morning!
Such a very sad case of a 23 year old young woman who was killed at such a young age. Mr. Jackson was not a man of good morals I guess and because she became pregnant he didn’t want to marry her and decided to kill her that’s what it seems. Taking her head was just really barbaric and brutal and to this day not being able to find it is really sad.
The things that people would do to get out of a marriage or not be a father during that time was horrific. Also the fact that she was pregnant makes it even worse she had a living and breathing child in her and he killed her in a way that I can’t even imagine. Knowing what she went through as he was killing her breaks my heart ♥️
R.I.P. Pearl and Child 🙏🏽🇬🇧🇵🇭
Thank you for another great story I hope you have a wonderful week and looking forward to next Monday!
Thanks London Sage :)
"They would go out to look for women of a low moral character" hmmmm?
Best part of waking up on a Monday morning.
I find these cases in this era are fascinating but so scarey and sad
well done to the detectives using the shoes for evidence and finding who the young lady was, and identified her as Pearl. Poor girl may her and her baby rest in peace, thankyou for this historical disturbing so sad story.
Mr. Jackson was bad news
Been following you for a long long time….just wanted to thank you. The enormous detail and research for such old cases, relies on, photographs and archival evidence. Your passion ‘speaks’ for those that can not speak for themselves….and should be honoured. We become witness to their tragedy - by honouring your gentle, kind delivery of the facts.
Thankyou for the continued support, it is appreciated
So sad and happened a lot and I'm sorry to say that America is returning to those dark days of back street abortions and deaths. Glad in the UK we put those dark days behind us. No digs required I am not going to argue with anyone. Poor Pearl maybe if she had just talked to her parents but the world is full of "what ifs"
The things we do for love...or lack of it. What a betrayal. She deserved better. Tragic story. Thanks BC.
Respectfully done, as ever.
I really enjoy your turn on of phrase, so relevant to the era despite cads and mountebanks being in abundance!
I am thinking that a*oration wasn't legal then? Good wishes to you, all you love, and followers worldwide x
Much appreciated!
I heard this story in much less detail being interested in the paranormal, Pearl's ghost is one of many linked to Bobby Mackey's Music world because of one reason or another, Bobby Mackey's is super haunted. It's nice to see Pearl get her story told alone without a connection to the hocus pocus.
Wow, really? ...I like hocus pocus 🙂
@@Ferret8185it’s disrespectful to pander to those scammers/ghost hunters when a real person was actually brutally murdered
Yeah I heard that as well; no wonder the name Pearl Bryan sounded so familiar, along with other names such as Alonzo Wallings.
It's 4: 30 in morning 🌄 in Puyallup Washington USA 😂😂❤❤. Have a great week.
You are up pretty early then, hope you have a nice day
Another AWESOME ...BRIEF....CASE!!!
Poor Pearl...that wasn't fun to hear, but thank you for the great content, my friend!
Thanks for listening
Yay! Another bedtime story for me! Thank you Mr. Brief! Sending appreciation from Australia!
What a wonderful way to start my day with an amazing story from Brief Case!! This case is very disturbing,my heart breaks for Pearl and her family!! Thanks B C for your hard work,keeping us informed of these interesting stories!!!❤❤❤❤

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

Good morning Briefy! Thank you once again. I am always waiting for your video ebery Monday. You always deliver!
We're having a heat wave here in Finland, even breathing is too much. But your vid was like a soothing cool breeze!
Thank you :)
Thanks Aurora, a heatwave wow, hope you enjoy the weather
@@BriefCaseOfficial Actually I personally am not enjoying, I'm too Nordic to tolerate this :D But hey in 6 monthe I'm coplaining about some blizzard and cold! Heh!
Once again a well told story! I’m impressed with all the hard work you’ve put into this. I’m also impressed with the detective work of the day with the shoes showing the owner’s identity! A very sad story though but it was interesting and glad those two got what they deserved.
Great detective work. Poor Pearl.
I love the way you tell these murders u have a lot of compassion I am History lover.I am so glad I found this channel. Sending❤ from Dublin Ireland.
Thankyou
thank you, another great case. Really enjoy your cases. Thank you for all your work.
Thank you, your comment is very much appreciated :)
I'm honestly surprised you didn't cover this case years ago. This is one of the best known cases in the U.S. especially when it comes to paranormal.
I have had this on my list since I started the channel, and I'm not really sure why I didn't cover it earlier
What the heck has it to do with the paranormal?
@@nicolad8822 In Wilder, Kentucky, the site of a country music hall called "Bobby Mackey's" is supposedly where Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling disposed of Pearl Bryan's head. Supposedly Pearl's spirit haunts the grounds where the music hall is.
@@dannizinn6477which is very gross to claim when there’s no evidence, it’s literally capitalizing on a brutal murder to attract more ghost hunters aka scammers. The entire situation is so nasty and unethical to me
Thank you BC for another fascinating case and for Mondays so much brighter.
Thanks for listening
Identification by her shoes? Amazing skills!
There are "cads" everywhere and every century. I'd like to think we as females are getting wiser, but these things still happen. And I know it all goes both ways - schemers and innocents on both sides. The sun has come up and it's a beautiful morning and soon I will be taking the ferry home to Whidbey Island for my weekend. Thank you BC for a great story!!
Thanks Vickie, I must confess, I had to look up where Whidbey Islan is, hope you enjoyed yourself there :)

Brief Case is one of my favorite channels! As always, GREAT storytelling.
Much appreciated!
I always enjoy your videos and that you give a voice to unfortunate victims in the 19th century. I am also very impressed by the police that managed to identify her by her shoes. But back the they usually only had one pair of shoes and the were usually custom made. Thanks again for another great video BC. Greetings from Norway 😊
Thanks Anne
A bit off-topic, but I do wish people would get over the tendency to assume that youngest siblings are 'doted on' (1:15). This might be the case in some families, but it's not a universal law. Quite the contrary, many youngests have a hard time growing up at the bottom of the family hierarchy, not to mention the indignity of being called 'the baby' all their lives, even if they live to 100. Rant over.
Thankyou, in this case it was reported that Pearl was doted on but as you say it may not have been so :)
I heard an actor say, he had his head shaved for a role and the hairdresser said, "Youngest child, eh?" He said yes and how did she know? "You have lots of scars from getting hit on the head." Happy only child here!
The days when shoes were specific enough to be traced to the owner.
While times were simpler they also had their tribulations.
Women became pregnant more often then mentioned even then. It is just a shame it was stigma or death.
In reality. Things have not changed all that much. Only the outcome .
I feel for both the girl and her child.
Good morning, BC, from Toronto 🇨🇦
Morning!
Got my coffee - let’s go! Thanks BC ❤
Sounds good
Actually really impressive police work on this one.
Always interesting.
I know that part of Cincinnati very well.😊
Thank you

Even though, I've heard the story many times you're the first one to include some details of never heard thank you
Thank you BC..
Oh yes them men was GUILTY that fact her head has never been found 😑
Thank you as always Brief Case, it's always an intriguing start to the week with your true crime and history lessons. 🙏🖤✌️
Thanks Laura
I have a feeling that the theory about Jackson having Pearl's head incinerated is probably the most likely. If it hasn't been found in the many years since. I wish he would've told the family that so at least they would know. I love learning about these cases, I had never heard of this one.
This was a very sad one so sorry Ms. Pearl and her baby
Pobrecita Pearl (poor pearl). My goodness this was horrid. 😢
Pearls memory still lives on. In Wilder, a town a couple miles from where the corpse was found, there is a country western night club called Bobby Mackeys. For decades it was the site of notorious roadhouses. Pearls head is believed by some to be on the property, perhaps thrown down an old well in the cellar. She is also believed by some to have been murdered by satanists. I never knew the real story behind her death, its now become folklore. Thanks for this story. Excellent research. Must have been a lot of hard work.
Thankyou for that additional information
Exploitation of her memory for money.
@@nicolad8822 Yes
I'm really impressed with, having limited resources and technology, that the police not only found out who she was but solved this case. Thanks BC 😊

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

Why do they always have to decapitate or mutilate the body? I think it takes a certain type of person to be able to do that! I hope that I never come across these type of people.
Thanks BC!👍
