I thought that as well. She tried calming nutsy down and seemed to be getting her to go confront the dirtbag, the right target for any anger. It sounds like she was a smart decent woman.
You can't play with people's hearts. This is the tragic result. John was the catalyst, Annie was the spark and Mildred was dynamite. Incredible illustrations and photos. Heartbreaking story. Thanks BC
There's a Bible verse that there's nothing new under the sun'...so accurate with your comment honestly. People's pain joy and experiences were just as today. Nothing is different just hid it better
Even today, diagnosis and treatment of mental illness is not easy. Back then, there would have been no relief or shield from the onslaught of emotions. Very sad case. Thank you Brief Case.
@@AnastasiaRomanov-w9x yeah, she knew ... True insanity would be if she shot her, kept walking, gun in hand, started whistling a tune, and bought candy at a store
This tale was truly a terrible tragedy that tainted so many lives. John probably went on with the rest of his life without learning any lesson from his narcissistic behavior. 😢 Thank you, Professor Brief Case, for your brilliant retelling of this crime. Hope you have a wonderful week!!!
We were mad we were sad back then BC? I wouldn't say we're much better today in looking after mental health 🆘😥 thanks for another trip back in our time's ⚖️🇬🇧💯🙏😢
Sounds like a family with a history of depression and Mildred seemed to have this as well as some other issues. Her planning belies her mental state, although honestly the difference between mental asylum and prison was minimal those days.
You have lit a fire in me that has burnt previously on a few occasions..... An interest of lives other than my own or those around me in our time.... Maybe as a means of my own escape from the passing of loved ones... Or maybe as a means of reasurement that many through history have struggled and suffered and that each one of us is not alone in our experiences of pain and loss..... Thank you.
Hi!!! I always enjoy your stories. This is a love tangle. A young lady lost her life. This type of behavior has been going on forever. Poor Annie.Thanks for this story...Nice Video!!!...🇺🇸🦋
Morning BriefCase! Have lived in Vermont since I was a kid, and have lived in Montpelier for years! My neighborhood today, yay! Presently live one street away from Liberty Street. RIP Annie 💖
@@DSL71584 We've had two murders in one hundred years in the capitol; our murders up in the state, until recently have been rare - I probably read about this years ago and forgot about it. BriefCase is right about peeps knowing it happened; but I bet only CrimeLibrary peeps are in the know about this one.
Women could buy a gun in this time period?? Wow. Mildred sounds a bit on the unhinged side. Sounds like some sort of bipolar disorder ran in the family. She was still wrong for killing Annie, pregnant or not, mental issues or not. John of course was definitely a cad. Thank you BC for a most interesting and unusual case.
Women couldn't vote, couldn't have a bank account without a male cosigner and permission, and could be sent to an insane asylum for anything. But yes, buying a gun was pretty normal. It wasn't the wild west, but protection from bad humans and wild animals and rabid dogs was very real.
You got me curious. So I went and looked it up. It doesn't seem that we ever had laws in this country against women owning firearms. However, there were laws prohibiting Native Americans and African-Americans from buying firearms. No shocker, that.
What a story. BC never disappoints me. Old cases that are so riveting they keep me watching most twice to catch all the information. Mondays are now looked forward to, since I watch Brief Case . Life is often stranger than fiction, these stories prove that. Thanks BC keep ‘em coming. 🇺🇸
sitting with my knee up, because i've damaged i think the ligament listening to BF, on a cold Monday what Mildren did was wicked, since Annie was also innocent in all of this. they both deserve better than John John was a total cad, in every way
He was no prize and they should have both publicly humiliated him then washed their hands of him. But Mildred had darker plans and took an innocent life. I think she got off too lightly. Yes, she had mental problems but she knew right from wrong.
Hi!!! I guess there has been love fights since the start of time. Thanks for this interesting story. I always look forward to your stories. Nice Video!!!...🇺🇸🦋
Oh thank you Brief Case for another fascinating case on this gloomy Monday. I can not believe that there are not more viewers of this sight!!! Your voice is real and not AI!!! Plus your pronunciation is spot on, which is appreciated. Again , thank you for all of,the special detailed work you present ib each episode!!!
Good morning BC from Black Diamond Alberta, love that you pronounce Montpelier. Most from Vermont do not!😅 went there often when living in Montréal. Have a great week. 😊
Thanks, I could not work out how to pronounce it as a few friends from USA gave me different versions, I also checked on local news programmes, I hope it wasn't too bad
I live in Southern Ontario, and years ago my sister went to Middlebury College in Vermont. I would visit her 2-3 times a year. I loved the town and the state, but the way most people living there pronounced Montpellier hurt my Canadian ears, because I was definitely expecting a French pronunciation. 😂
Sad for both young women. Annie was a very compassionate and honest lady. If all the accounts of her behavior are true (and we have no reason to doubt them), Mildred seemed to have been suffering from what used to be called manic depressive disorder (biopolar now). She most likely knew what she was doing but couldn't control it. Thank you, BC, for another great story.
My take is (in addition) a Cluster B personality disorder, perhaps Borderline Personality Disorder. Even 30 years ago, broader discussion about personality disorders had only just begun really - and only slightly at that. It’s only been more publicly known about in the past 10 to 15 years. There’s a strong connection (in many cases) with early childhood s.3.xua| abuse, which I can imagine was even more rampant back in this era, very sadly.
Mildred was completely insane. However, she knew what she was doing when she murdered. This was such a fascinating case!! I love these episodes that happen in this time period. Brief Case: You have no idea just how much I love every single one of your episodes!!!
Poor Annie, 17 years old and with an unfaithful scoundrel, she seemed lovely bless her, may she rest in peace... men and women also never know if their betrayal is going to lead to tragedy xx
I am so excited for this brief case!!! I am a Vermonter 🥰 I know all of these town/city’s! Thank you for sharing this story, regardless of how truly sad it is.
I live in Barre Vermont for 13 months 2015 16, worked in Montpelier so this episode was especially interesting to me. Vermont is the granite state, the grave yards, the headstones are amazing, I wandered and was spellbound by the carvings .
What a story! Years ago this could have been a movie of the week! Love this channel- the stories are always engrossing and compellingly told. Add the vintage images and you have a recipe for fascinating stuff. Bravo!
Hello again Brief Case, I hope your Easter is going well. Mine is quiet and a perfect time for me to catch up on your newest video. Thank you for your excellent narration and fascinating images. 😊
Thank you BC. I've been in that situation before and it never works out right. I so love you BC and I very much appreciate every effort you make to bring these cases to us. I've been so busy I hardly can get here. It's ok, I know each episode is waiting for me when I can watch. Until the next....Brief....Case😂....
She may have had mental problems, but that doesn’t mean she did not plan and carry out the murder. Sorry, she was guilty and at least should have been imprisoned.
Wonder how society treated Mr Wheeler. The epitome of a bounder and a cad! Playing with the affection of not one but two ladies. BC, any idea where he went? I'm guessing politics lol
@@alsmith9853 women of the time had no legal ability to take care of themselves financially unless they inherited enough money to have a money manager or benevolent male relative. They also had few job prospects. So no.
I read a beautifully written book called The Madness Of A Seduced Woman by Susan Fromberg Schaeffer, which was based on a true story. I researched for days trying to figure out who the real people were. As I listened to this I knew pretty much everything that you said! I'm so glad I finally know 😊 In the book the writer portrayed Mildred as one of the most beautiful woman ever born 😂 Just about the only detail that didn't match. I really enjoy your channel!
I did masters’ studies at a small college in Montpelier where a building is said to be haunted by this lady Anna. Alas, I never saw it. Thank you for covering it! (The American Montpelier has the “r” pronounced, but it’s so close to Canada that I can’t blame anyone for thinking otherwise!)
poor Annie was being very mature about all of this, willing to go with the other woman to confront the guy together She just got stuck with someone mental who didn’t see it that way and lost her life for nothing.
What a crying shame that Annie was such a nice young lady to go with the "other woman". So tragic that had she been less amiable she may have lived. Dodging a bullet from Mildred and the one of being wed to a cheating womaniser.
I really like these and the narrator too thank you
👍
Welcome to the world of the awesome BC 👍
Thank you as always BC 👍💜🇬🇧
That Annie was willing to listen to and even go with Mildred to talk it out with the source of the problem John, speaks volumes of Annie’s character.
It's so sad that type of nice young lady was cheated on.
Sound character with a, criminal host amounts to nothing, but death & despair ! 😨
Sad story especially his infidelity and it’s consequences😢😢
I thought that as well. She tried calming nutsy down and seemed to be getting her to go confront the dirtbag, the right target for any anger. It sounds like she was a smart decent woman.
@@addie_is_me
Lots of decent, naive people in the world who put themselves out knowingly or unknowingly for duplicitous people."
You can't play with people's hearts. This is the tragic result. John was the catalyst, Annie was the spark and Mildred was dynamite. Incredible illustrations and photos. Heartbreaking story. Thanks BC
Poor Annie: caught in crossfire of an unbalanced woman and a scoundrel of a man.
It's sad that even when things were way more taboo, a lot of men still refused to do right back then...
Did he admit to an affair with Mildred? Or is it possible Mildred made it up?
@@cherylschantz9893He admitted it.
I love hearing these older stories. They are sad but, they remind us what people before us have been through. Sadly, some things don’t change. ❤
There's a Bible verse that there's nothing new under the sun'...so accurate with your comment honestly. People's pain joy and experiences were just as today. Nothing is different just hid it better
Dreadfully sad, excellent work, BC. Thank you for sharing. 🌹🍁
Thanks Marion :)
It's not a Monday morning without Brief Case, coffee and brekkie ❤
Terribly sad story. What a waste of lives!
Even today, diagnosis and treatment of mental illness is not easy. Back then, there would have been no relief or shield from the onslaught of emotions. Very sad case. Thank you Brief Case.
You can be mentally ill and still know right from wrong. Insanity means you don’t know right from wrong. Mildred certainly knew what she was doing.
@@AnastasiaRomanov-w9x yeah, she knew ... True insanity would be if she shot her, kept walking, gun in hand, started whistling a tune, and bought candy at a store
I always look forward to Monday because Brief Case uploads a great case every Monday I also know I am going to enjoy it before I even watch it
Thanks Bobby :)
Me too
We appreciate your dedication and hard work. Keep working hard.
Thank you, I will
Coyanus and Goodenough… what comical names!
And 'Bugby'!
This tale was truly a terrible tragedy that tainted so many lives. John probably went on with the rest of his life without learning any lesson from his narcissistic behavior. 😢
Thank you, Professor Brief Case, for your brilliant retelling of this crime.
Hope you have a wonderful week!!!
Thanks Susan, You too :)
@@BriefCaseOfficial You're welcome. You are incredibly awesome 😎
Isn’t it possible Mildred never had an affair with John, but obsessed over him?
I don't have any doubt that Mildred knew exactly what she was doing when she commited the murder
I agree! She was mental and evil! Why shoot Annie? It was the fella that mucked about, not Annie. Very sad.
Agree
Just because she had a relative who went insane does not mean... Oh... Oh my that is a fair few. Carry on
😂
Just having one immediate family member significantly increases the probability.
Good morning for a good Brief Case! Thanks!
Good morning!
Very sad.
Thanks for researching and sharing this.
Thanks for listening
I really enjoy listening to you as i start my morning. Happy Monday BC.
Thankyou :)
We were mad we were sad back then BC?

Its always good to get comments from people who live in the area where the crime took place, thanks
Is this a well known case around there?
I believe so

Ahhh finally…‘let’s see what’s in this ‘brief case!?!’ 😅💛🌼

Thank you BC for a most interesting and unusual case.
A right bounder, that John!
Women couldn't vote, couldn't have a bank account without a male cosigner and permission, and could be sent to an insane asylum for anything. But yes, buying a gun was pretty normal. It wasn't the wild west, but protection from bad humans and wild animals and rabid dogs was very real.

Morning Cyndy
What a story. BC never disappoints me. Old cases that are so riveting they keep me watching most twice to catch all the information. Mondays are now looked forward to, since I watch Brief Case . Life is often stranger than fiction, these stories prove that. Thanks BC keep ‘em coming. 🇺🇸
sitting with my knee up, because i've damaged i think the ligament listening to BF, on a cold Monday
what Mildren did was wicked, since Annie was also innocent in all of this. they both deserve better than John
John was a total cad, in every way
He was no prize and they should have both publicly humiliated him then washed their hands of him. But Mildred had darker plans and took an innocent life. I think she got off too lightly. Yes, she had mental problems but she knew right from wrong.
Yet, he was not a murderer.
Yeah I've no tolerance for two-timers, however Mildred killed a lady, making her far worse!
Hi!!! I guess there has been love fights since the start of time. Thanks for this interesting story. I always look forward to your stories. Nice Video!!!...🇺🇸🦋

Hello BC, had my dinner with mom, finished watching Disney's Encanto before dinner and dad is coming back from Chiang Mai, Thailand at midnight!
Ok… how old are you???
@@malina1239lol according to her previous comments she’s 36 😅
Desperate response? Hmmmm, maybe.. but Mildred planned this for sure imo.. She knew what she was doing! Thanks for another intriguing case BC💼
Yes, it was calculated. A broken heart? Move on and do not murder anyone!
She insane but not stupid. She knew right from wrong.
In this horrible story at least Mr and Mrs Goodenough seemed to be good enough 😅
Thanks BC!!
Exciting Monday! A new video! 😀
I live in Barre Vermont for 13 months 2015 16, worked in Montpelier so this episode was especially interesting to me. Vermont is the granite state, the grave yards, the headstones are amazing, I wandered and was spellbound by the carvings .

Either of those women could have walked away from him. Would you say the same if it was a woman playing with the affections of 2 men?

Lot of people blaming John who was undoubtedly a creep, however Mildred was obviously nuts, and foolishly she listened to intrusive thoughts.
Dang! This story is crazy! It looks like something out of Deadly Women or Snapped!
It's really sad that annie had to die when john was the problem the whole time.
Mrs. Goodenough …… I love that name for a landlord.
Just watched your video on Mable Young now am doing a deep dive catch up on your video's and of course pressed the sub button ❤
