That's one thing to be said for larger weddings - pulling off this sort of trick becomes a lot harder if you've got the witnesses to the marriage plus a slew of friends and relatives around.
Poor Hannah never gave up her dreams of a better life and her untimely death was surely no accident.. 🤦🏻♀️ I am glad justice prevailed! Thanks BC💼.. as always..
For that reason, the constant striving to "do better" despite great hardship, I may well relate better to Hannah than to many other people described on this channel (I haven't had a very easy trip through life, either). That, in turn, makes her murder even more offensive.
@@valeriemarott1923Geeeeezzz....who the heck reads the comments before watching the video? And so according to you, no one is allowed to speak on what happened in the story at all? Here's a fresh idea: don't. read. comments. until. you. watch. the. video.
poor Hannah, her entire life was entrenched in misery, when all she wanted to do was better herself. but life was so cruel. she comes across as so determined, and wanted to make it better for herself. in another life, in another world, she would have found love again, got the money to make her life a success and lived a long and happy life. but in this one, it wasn't meant to be
Unless she ignored obvious red alarm signs, Hannah had not a single chance to prevent this bloody ambush. And given how experienced she was, I am certain that lowlife put on his best enamored and mourning act to tug her heartstrings. So vile...
I'd say _especially_ in the 19th century. Most of us have our weaknesses, or our blind spots. I think Hannah's was that she was looking for love and she was a good, decent person who assumed that others were the same. Con artists can spot those weaknesses and exploit them and, sadly, that's what happened.
The Victorian era was so unforgiving! Death omnipresent. Greed governing society even more so than today, mostly at the expense of human rights. It's so sad to think she died, thinking she finally saw the silver lining of this sinister tunnel... Greed indeed governed SUPREME, during these times.
Greed still governs today, except the institutions that be are much better at hiding it. All while we go on with our daily lives, oblivious to the treachery around us.
A particularly gruesome case this morning. Not sure if that's because I was eating my breakfast or not, but poor Hannah had a very unfortunate life despite her laudable efforts to be successful. Very sad and tragic.
Since serial killers were not on the minds of authorities at that time, One has to wonder how many other people he killed, women he robbed or abandoned, or other children who died, one way or another.
How tragic for poor Hannah. All her hopes and dreams were for naught. I’m at awe at how good and thorough the police were back then on every single case you cover. Without all the glitz and glamour of the forensics of today they seemed pretty adept at uncovering the felon. Thank you Mr. Briefcase for another great Monday crime story. ❤
I suspect, though, that there were a lot of cases in those days that went completely under the radar. While bodies aren't all that easy to dispose of (at least, according to my reading, I haven't tried it for myself), time, isolation and scavengers can go a long way, especially if no one is actually looking for the body.
@@resourcedragonexactly and the police resources then were nowhere near as vast as they are today so many poor souls would have been just disappeared without anyone any the wiser. Also I think class played a part to an extent back then and I imagine the destitute underclass particularly probably very rarely had their cases investigated even when they were reported.
Thank you, Brief Case for another spectacular Monday morning upload. It's a treat to catch up on your videos, especially when I'm off from work. I will be able fully enjoy your content today. 😊
Thank you, BC, as always: a thoroughly researched and beautifully narrated story. Poor Hannah; she deserved some happiness after tragedies she experienced..... Mr. Greenacre was definitely a predatory individual. I wonder if his story of being widowed several times and mourning the deaths of his children was just a fabricated story to gain Ms. Brown's sympathy and prey upon it, or if there is a more gruesome explanation...
As soon as I heard his stories, I suspected that he had a hand in some or all of the deaths. Perhaps for insurance, or because he just couldn't be bothered with dependents.
Good morning Brief Case. This poor unsuspecting woman, believed everything this evil man told her and did what he asked her to do. How can someone be so cruel and deceitful and take advantage of another person this way? All she wanted was a new start in life someplace different and instead lost her life for believing the words of a man. I'm glad that the other woman was punished also, I'm pretty sure she knew what was going on and she obviously benefitted from the crime. Thanks for another great story Brief Case. Have a good one.
Poor woman. As if she hadn't been through enough sorrow & loss in her life, that her life was taken from her in such a brital manner. I'm glad to hear justice was served.
Poor girl, to go through so much hardship and never lose your basic trust in the inherent goodness of people, only to be taken advantage of in such a brutal and cruel way. My heart aches for her. I hope she is safe, warm, happy and loved now 🙏🏻
She looked like one but she was not one she was 56 at the time of her tragic murder this picture shows a woman looking 38 or 40 she was fabulous but was unaware of it poor woman she deserved better luck May she rest in peace
They never investigated his story/lies of burying 3 orher wives? He sounds a bit like a serial killer. A most gruesome case indeed, BC. Thank you for your usual excellent narration of it. P.S. I mentioned to Crime Reel that you, CR and the guy from Well. I never should do a collaboration. It'd be really cool.
The thing is, during these times, it was very easy to die, between the atrocious work conditions, cholera, tuberculosis, being naturally poisoned by substances present in paint/wallpaper or adulterated food goods. Infancy death rate itself was gigantic. Also, forensics science wasn't nearly as advanced as today. So yeah, the authorities were more dismissive of sudden deaths, then.
Another good and gruesome case proving that human nature hasn’t changed much over the centuries. RIP Hannah, hope you can hear Billie sing “Miss Brown to You” where you are.
So many people died at a young age back in the early 19th century so the fact that Greenacre said he had been widowed three times wouldn’t have aroused suspicion in Hannah and would have tended to inspire sympathy in her which it clearly did. In spite of Greenacre’s protestations of innocence he was clearly guilty, no one else had a motive and Hannah’s belongings were found in his possession so his failure to confess showed a total lack of remorse. Sarah Gale undoubtedly knew of Hannah’s fate although she probably wasn’t involved in the murder. Both deserved the punishments they received, poor Hannah did not deserve what happened to her. There were many things that were unpleasant about life back in those days but at least they put the interests of the victim first.
I now wonder how many Women were scammed into this brutal con ? Love of a man and a new life fantasy comes true? Until the set is changed to a scene of murder.
Yes the loss of a beloved pet is heartbreaking. What a long time you had together with lots of memories. What a fortunate cat to have some one love it so much.
Gday BC, awesome true crime narration. It is Monday evening here in South Australia 1015pm, now that i have relaxed in bed listening to Brief Case, its time for some shut eye. Goodnight.
The ONLY thing She seemed to be Lucky in In the beginning? Was/IS Unable TO Conceive. Because WAY Back Then, IF she thought her Life was HELL HELL Could've/Would've Been SO MUCH Worse 4 a Woman. (Widowed or Otherwise) Even A MARRIED Woman Unless Very Wealthy Having a Child was NO picnic. Because of the Rampant Alcoholism of the man\&/or\Spouse, His Laziness The Abuse + the thinking THAT HE is The King of His Castle And She is NO Better THAN a Slave/or\Breeding Cow + Something/&\or/Someone Soft (So he doesn't break his hand)AS he Beats her Senseless! Not Much Room in a dreary place to Live While trying 2 Raise a child The More u have The More u help u have around the house/Farm If u think That is Bad Wait till he leaves u Dies Or Worse If u had ANY $$? ONCE u Marry ALL $, Land BECOMES His And u Have TO BEG 4 Any of YOUR OWN $, For Whatever Reason Food Clothing etc!!
This was some pretty solid police work for the time period. Finding the head in the canal was a great piece of luck as well. Of course, establishing Hannah’s identity is what broke the case wide open but I can’t imagine the police putting someone’s pickled head on public display nowadays. It seems rather ghoulish. I don’t think I would have wanted to take a look!
People were made of harder stuff back then, even in the 1960s/1970s people just got on with it. Since the invention of the internet, mobile phones and the stuff that’s gone on in the last few years, everyone is easily offended and go off sick from work at the slightest excuse. Everyone has a ‘cause’ now, just imagine today’s youngsters going back in time for 50/100 years… they would be crying about how unfair it all is😂 boo hoo!
They should have just made a death mask. That's what they did with a lady's body they found in the Thames. That mask was to go on to be used as a mould for the torso that's used in teaching first aid 👍👍👍
@@susiefoxy8130: You should look at the mental health of Vietnam War veterans before saying that "even in the 1960s/1970s people just got on with it". They didn't. Worse, they often inflicted further trauma on their spouses and children.
This was such an incredibly sad story… Thank you so much for sharing her life. Allowing her to be remembered is a way to honor her. I am so glad that they found the monsters that did this to her. May she rest in peace.
Good morning, Such a tragedy for Hannah with everything that she had already been through, and she never gave up on finding love. Just when she thought she found it she ends up, killed in the most horrible way. when you started talking about his past, I had a funny feeling myself just like everyone else did that something wasn’t right and turned out that it wasn’t. She didn’t deserve to die. She deserved happiness, just like everyone else and I wish they would’ve never crossed paths. I’m glad she got the justice that she deserved. My only wishes that she would’ve found love instead. Rest in Peace Hannah🌺🕊️🙏🏽😔
The things people will do for money. Thanks for this case BC. Don't feel too sorry for Sarah. In 1837 two troopers from the NSW Corps were indicted for theft. They were later outed by fellow soldiers for planning to become convicts to increase their standard of living (You read that right. Convicts received their Ticket of Leave on arrival along with a paid job}. The soldiers once outed, were sentenced to serve their time in an English prison. In less than 40 years Australia had gone from completely unsettled to a society on the edge of known civilisation that could offer a higher living standard to the poorer and middle classes. Convicts even had Legislative Council representation and their own political party. So long as Sarah kept her nose clean, there's every reason to believe she could have done quite well for herself. The very hope of which was stolen from Hannah. Ironic. Wishing you and BCat a terrific week. I'm looking forward to next week's tale of darstardry and woe. 🕵♀😻
An infortunate "accident" right? At a moment's notice, right after Hannah sold all her belongings or entrusted them to the traitor... Of course, it's a natural accident, the destruction of one's eye socket with a weapon. You know, someone you'd be about to marry, at that. Duh, slapping someone accidently with the hand extended in the heat of the moment is obviously not the more natural scenario 🙄 Greeenacre, at the very least, didn't get to see the green acres of America and that is a very satisfactory thought.
These Jamaican estates which need following up feature as plot devices in both "Jane Eyre" and "Persuasion". As a matter of interest, in the picture of poor Sarah's presumed bridal carriage, the horse wears the notorious "bearing rein", grimly familiar to readers of "Black Beauty". We forget that all these things which turn up in literature were daily life at one time.
You made this into a very gripping story! Women at that time could be so vulnerable! Especially of the age of Mrs. Brown! Thanks Brief Case. Very well done as usual! Look forward to the next one😌🇺🇸
'As usual' you've brought us a lesser known story. Thank-you. An intriguing one, where the crook might have got away with it if he'd been quicker to shift continents. Stay safe.🤗
Poor sweet Hannah... all she wanted was love, companionship and a simple life with someone kind. She is in my prayers, God rest her lovely soul. Thanks again for a great case 💙🩵💜
Poor poor Hannah What a lovely lady Her first husband left her and I believe he did not fall overboard ( if he did how good . She was a lovely trusting kind woman
I love listening to these historical tales every week. Brief Case does such a fantastic job. He doesn’t over embellish, use emotive language or over dramatic terms. Each case has a flair of the era. That’s what I appreciate. Sometimes I wonder how much more quickly the crimes would be solved today given the tools the police have. Criminals are always caught… or at least the stupid ones are. So many have gone unpunished, and even undetected.
Thanks for another great one Briefcase I'm running late I'm in Florida and we had hurricane Debby we got the power back on and your the first video I'm watching again love your content ❤
Its amazing how they ever solved cases without the forensics we have, today, & the amount of innocent people convicted was prob far higher than those guilty. You had to be Sherlock in order to get anything done & not many were. Im so glad I wasnt born back then though Im pretty sure my past life was in the 17th century as Ive had the same dream since I was a little girl of first person perspective, seeing through my own eyes at a ball of sorts, wearing a red dress, but judging the style, and the style of those around me, it was of upper echelon, it was of that style, and I was just dancing around the ballroom with a man. This is all I remember on my own, since I was 4, and glad, cause im sure all the other memories were full of sickness, plague, & murder. That seems to be all that happened back then.
Thanks for the upload, Brief Case! August 5 is National Sunflower Day, World Oyster Day, Air Conditioning Day, Green Peppers Day, National Waffle Day, International Sailor Moon Day, Sandcastle Day, Mead Day, Work Like A Dog Day, National Hangover Day, National Underwear Day, Damn the Torpedoes and Full Speed Ahead Day, and International Traffic Light Day. This particular Monday is also British Columbia Day 2024.
Thanks, Brief Case, for your hard work. I find your videos very educational, I learn how people earned a living, their standards of living ,what different folks could expect their futures to be like, their social lives,science progress etc! Your channel has broadened my world👍🙂
well, she was a hard working and saving type of person I surmise. BC tells us that there was jewelry and receipts of other pawned items. She also sadly lost husbands, so she would have had at least wedding rings. Likely he saw her wearing such, and knowing she was more of less alone in the world (an easier target) and upon speaking to her seeing she was lonely, set out to take what he could get from her. Someone above mentioned that the police at the time should have investigated the "having sadly lost 3 previous wives" thing. She may not have had large wealth for that time, but she certainly had something worth taking from her hard work and jewelry. Perhaps he also thought a richer target would be more easily missed too.
This is an amazing channel. I’m very happy to have found it.
It's wonderful 🎉
It's a real eye opener to those times. Not so different from today, is it?
Ohh, you're in for a treat. If you just found Brief Case yoday, then you have an amazing binge ahead of you
@@serenity6415 Haha, no, I have been a frequent watcher for quite a few years, I just wanted to share my happiness
@@serenity6415i no right. I feel jealous really lol xx
As soon as BC mentioned James had been widowed that many times and his alleged business prowess, I was like “No Hannah! Don’t leave with hiim!”
That's one thing to be said for larger weddings - pulling off this sort of trick becomes a lot harder if you've got the witnesses to the marriage plus a slew of friends and relatives around.
I mean you could say the same about Hannah she was a widow of 2 husbands herself .
Poor Hannah never gave up her dreams of a better life and her untimely death was surely no accident.. 🤦🏻♀️
I am glad justice prevailed! Thanks BC💼.. as always..
For that reason, the constant striving to "do better" despite great hardship, I may well relate better to Hannah than to many other people described on this channel (I haven't had a very easy trip through life, either). That, in turn, makes her murder even more offensive.
I felt so bad for her brother; can't imagine being asked to identify a relative by viewing her pickled head! Thanks for another great Brief Case!
I agree. That's crazy.

I wonder what became of Sarah Gale in NSW…
Thank you for sharing BC.
Poor Miss Hannah Brown! I feel much empathy for the very decent and hardworking Miss Brown. What a terrible fate!
The Victorian era was so unforgiving! Death omnipresent. Greed governing society even more so than today, mostly at the expense of human rights. It's so sad to think she died, thinking she finally saw the silver lining of this sinister tunnel...
Greed indeed governed SUPREME, during these times.
Greed still governs today, except the institutions that be are much better at hiding it. All while we go on with our daily lives, oblivious to the treachery around us.
Never oblivious is treachery & greed, always obvious !! With good detective work we'll find the perpetrators !! 🐾
@@SweetChicagoGator You don't need detective work. The WEF, EU, UN, etc tell you themselves. They don't even hide it. It is all on their own Websites.

A refreshingly dark and stormy morning for my coffee and Brief Case 👌 Poor Hannah...killed for what little she owned 😢

Since serial killers were not on the minds of authorities at that time, One has to wonder how many other people he killed, women he robbed or abandoned, or other children who died, one way or another.
Sarah Gale can be found in the Convict Records of NSW.
Did the child go with her?
Hopefully she had a Hard remainder of her days on earth.
Thanks for your narration. ❤️

Greetings and salutations from Cabbagetown Toronto Thanks as always Brief Case (and team) for making me like Mondays.
Thanks Nancy, I hope all is good in Toronto :)
What happened to the young child of '3 or 4' found with James Greenacre and Sarah Gale? Hate to think. Orphanage, workhouse ... the usual stuff.
Unfortunately, that was probably so
Brief Case always has great content that is why I look forward to his new uploads
Even though the briefs are tragic, they would be lost in time and space.
I am glad I stumbled across your efforts. May GOD bless
This was some pretty solid police work for the time period. Finding the head in the canal was a great piece of luck as well.

Wishing you and BCat a terrific week. I'm looking forward to next week's tale of darstardry and woe.
🕵♀😻
Thanks Perry that is very interesting indeed, and something that I was not aware of
It's still awesome here, in case you were wondering.
👌😂
Somehow i don't think that Hannah's death was an accident
An infortunate "accident" right?
At a moment's notice, right after Hannah sold all her belongings or entrusted them to the traitor...
Of course, it's a natural accident, the destruction of one's eye socket with a weapon. You know, someone you'd be about to marry, at that. Duh, slapping someone accidently with the hand extended in the heat of the moment is obviously not the more natural scenario
🙄
Greeenacre, at the very least, didn't get to see the green acres of America and that is a very satisfactory thought.
Thank you❤
These Jamaican estates which need following up feature as plot devices in both "Jane Eyre" and "Persuasion". As a matter of interest, in the picture of poor Sarah's presumed bridal carriage, the horse wears the notorious "bearing rein", grimly familiar to readers of "Black Beauty". We forget that all these things which turn up in literature were daily life at one time.
Best way
To start the week 💛💫✨️
Thanks
You made this into a very gripping story!
Women at that time could be so vulnerable! Especially of the age of Mrs. Brown! Thanks Brief Case. Very well done as usual! Look forward to the next one😌🇺🇸
Thanks :)
Thanks for this chilling story . Very sad how she ended up widowed twice and then cheated of her small savings by a monster.
Monday, Monday, got wallet, phone, lunch... Oh! Can't forget my Brief Case! 😅
'As usual' you've brought us a lesser known story. Thank-you. An intriguing one, where the crook might have got away with it if he'd been quicker to shift continents. Stay safe.🤗
Thanks for listening
Earring torn out of her ear. That made wince with a shudder BC.
Sorry Greg
Thank you
Thanks for watching :)
Impressive investigation
The coronary in these times was amazing although goulish in display
Poor sweet Hannah... all she wanted was love, companionship and a simple life with someone kind. She is in my prayers, God rest her lovely soul. Thanks again for a great case 💙🩵💜
Another great story! You always find the best. Patiently waiting for the next Brief Case.
Poor poor Hannah
What a lovely lady
Her first husband left her and I believe he did not fall overboard ( if he did how good . She was a lovely trusting kind woman
Happy Monday Briefcase.
Time 8:57AM Mon 8/5/24
Morning :)
“Hessian sack” sounds more disturbing than gunny or burlap sack 😱
Your podcast never disappoint me, and your accent is so engaging! Thank you for another great story!!!
Thank you!
I love listening to these historical tales every week. Brief Case does such a fantastic job. He doesn’t over embellish, use emotive language or over dramatic terms. Each case has a flair of the era. That’s what I appreciate. Sometimes I wonder how much more quickly the crimes would be solved today given the tools the police have. Criminals are always caught… or at least the stupid ones are. So many have gone unpunished, and even undetected.
🍀 Lucky for the wheelbarrow nearby! 😅👍
Thanks for another great one Briefcase I'm running late I'm in Florida and we had hurricane Debby we got the power back on and your the first video I'm watching again love your content ❤
Stay safe
My favorite channel ❤
Thankyou so much Cindy :)
Woah my insomnia got me to view this early. Its 4 am in California
Hope you get some sleep
Its amazing how they ever solved cases without the forensics we have, today, & the amount of innocent people convicted was prob far higher than those guilty. You had to be Sherlock in order to get anything done & not many were. Im so glad I wasnt born back then though Im pretty sure my past life was in the 17th century as Ive had the same dream since I was a little girl of first person perspective, seeing through my own eyes at a ball of sorts, wearing a red dress, but judging the style, and the style of those around me, it was of upper echelon, it was of that style, and I was just dancing around the ballroom with a man. This is all I remember on my own, since I was 4, and glad, cause im sure all the other memories were full of sickness, plague, & murder. That seems to be all that happened back then.
Think it was harder to get away, no cars, no planes, no money 🤷♀️

@@lazyhomebody1356 Nice!
Thanks BC, always respectfully done.
Much appreciated
I really liked this heroine she sounds like a lovely soul .what happened is devastating . Love you as always ⭐️❤️🇬🇧love Joyxx
Thanks, Brief Case, for your hard work. I find your videos very educational, I learn how people earned a living, their standards of living ,what different folks could expect their futures to be like, their social lives,science progress etc! Your channel has broadened my world👍🙂
Thankyou :)
Thank you for another fascinating brief case you can really make this fascinating
I feel so bad for this poor lady. She went through a lot and worked so hard for what she owned. May she be in heaven.
I wonder what happened to the child workhouse I suppose 😔
Possibly so :(
Came here to speak on this. If work house was their sentence, then the child was condemned for the crime as much as the parents . 😢 So sad.
@@FOMAHsince2014 I'm afraid that was how it was in those days . Condemned to a miserable life because of his horrible father's actions
Like Little Dorrit
Thanks again, Mr. Case!!
For some reason this one really touched me. That poor, poor woman.
One of those satisfying cases. Little to no doubt about who is guilty and a well deserved conviction and punishment at the end. Thank you Brief Case!!
I get so EXCITED when I see B.C. has dropped another video. Makes my Mondays so much better!!!
Thank you!
RIP Hannah.
Ready set go. 🎉🎉 Hello everyone
Good afternoon BC as always another great story ❤
Thanks for listening
Happy Monday BC
How he think she had money?! She was a housekeeper. She didn't deserve to die that way. Glad she got justice. Everyone stay safe. ✌️ BC good one. 👍
well, she was a hard working and saving type of person I surmise. BC tells us that there was jewelry and receipts of other pawned items. She also sadly lost husbands, so she would have had at least wedding rings. Likely he saw her wearing such, and knowing she was more of less alone in the world (an easier target) and upon speaking to her seeing she was lonely, set out to take what he could get from her. Someone above mentioned that the police at the time should have investigated the "having sadly lost 3 previous wives" thing. She may not have had large wealth for that time, but she certainly had something worth taking from her hard work and jewelry. Perhaps he also thought a richer target would be more easily missed too.
I love these videos
Thankyou :)
