What a damn good example of a human being was Brenda at those hard times! I always feel that people like Brenda live such hardships because they are special people sent off to form paths for other people to follow their steps. Brenda has already earned her own place at paradise.
Whenever you get to hear Robert Stack mention something in first person it makes more exciting to know about his close connections in the early hollywood days.
production values were awesome in these period pieces this show produced. always feels like a stand-alone tv series I want to watch all on its own. beautiful sets, good casting, great costume/wardrobe, cinematic shots-- a lot for a weekly tv magazine-style show to pull off, especially in the 80s/90s
I think back then TV production budgets were higher because you have to remember that this show was prime time TV and there were only a few tv channels, and no internet yet. Americans had a choice of watching only a few things on TV and this show was #1 in its time slot for years. They put lots of money into it and hired the best.
I spent many summers as a child staying with my grandparents who lived across the street from Dede and her family. I have such fond memories of spending time with Dede when I was a child- she was like a burst of sunshine and was always filled with joy. Such an amazing person and truly missed.
This is why I love this show. Don't have to wait for an update. Unsolved Mysteries has been a wonderful show ; giving good endings that touch the heart. Love this show.
@@kieranhart5776think they meant for these episodes in particular. Not their later stuff. They had some good actors in the reenactments that never really went anywhere
I thought they solved this case. I can’t recall his name but Wasn’t it some other famous LA doctor who threw big Hollywood parties and was known to sexually abuse underage girls?
I think Brenda's mother just decided she didn't want to be a mother anymore so she pawned her children off on her teenage daughter and literally abandoned them. It makes sense that she moved them to a house in the middle of nowhere. And since she never took the trouble to see if they were even alive.....now days she would be charged with abandonment.
The Elizabeth Short case, a.k.a., the Black Dahlia, is a true unsolved mystery. A case that will never be solved. So very sad. A tragedy of a beautiful young lady who achieved fame after death: her own brutal death. Rest in peace, Elizabeth. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
There is a very interesting podcast that points at who must of killed her. Its been so long and anyone involved would be long dead but the story told about the alleged black dahlia killer is compelling
Yeah well Ness lived same time period. He was an expert on this crime. His the only True source we have. So I go with who he thought was the killer. Some random guy making a Podcast 70 years after the case is not as convincing. Lots people wanna make money on this subject

Some things that you might not know about Elizabeth Short, contrary to what was related here: 1) She was a waitress, not a hooker. She'd been waiting tables since she was in her teens, as a matter of fact. 2) She was never an aspiring actress, but her roommate was. Short only took occasional bit parts alongside her, for extra money. 3) Similarly, she didn't come to California to pursue an acting career, but to reconnect with her estranged father, who lived there. She had lived with him for a brief time, but they had fallen out again by the time of her death. 4) She didn't habitually wear black clothes or underwear, but was only spotted in a tailored black suit, the last time she was seen alive. 5) That last sighting was actually at a party at the Biltmore Hotel in LA, shortly after Red Manley dropped her off. (There's a speculative sighting of her at a bar half a mile away, shortly afterward.) 6) She was never called, "The Black Dahlia" while she was alive. Rather, the name was given to her by the papers after her death, in an attempt to sensationalize the case. (It was a riff on "The Blue Dahlia," the name of a then-current movie.) Short's was actually an eccentric life, steered by two unasked circumstances. First was her being born with asthma, which kept her shuttling around the country from her home in Massachusetts to milder climes like Florida and California. The second was that fact that her father abandoned her family when she was young, going as far as to fake his own death. The truth really is stranger than the legend.
[cont.] At the same time, the Seth Bullock/Deadwood story is a personal fave, both for the classic meeting between Bullock and Roosevelt, and the wonderfully campy scene of Bullock the Ghost speaking through the Indian.
Yeah i call bullshit on all of this doubt that any of this is true and your probably some weirdo in a basement apartment writing random shit on yt to further dim the next generation 😂✌
Wow that was so nice to see a family members get back to getter ❤ i just lost my mom and dad and nephew you just had me crying when i saw this family reunite best wishes on finding each other ❤ i am just a crying baby myself ❤
@Chris_Gullett The idea that Elizabeth Short ever worked as a prostitute was never proven, and more than anything was a product of Hearst-ran sensationalist newspapers.
I dunno how people in those days could just turn they're backs on kids or grand kids cause they're gay or they weren't married I just dunno how anyone could do that
@@matthewvanderhorst3757 They truly don't care about them. That's the reason that they are able to walk away without a second thought. They want what they want AT ANY COST and don't care what anyone else wants. Or who they hurt in the process.
Forgiveness and trust are two completely different things....you can be at peace with something that hurt you in the past and still choose to cut a toxic person from your life and never trust them again. They never said whether they trusted her in addition to forgiving her, and I certainly hope they didn't.
I think forgiveness is overrated. You can simply choose to not think of a person anymore and not regard them as someone you want close to your life; and make a conscious decision to not hate them because thy are not worth the time and energy. You can however thank god or life for gifting the strength. I'm facing this right now having always been my mother's helper and taken care of her when ill. She has mental issues and over steps boundaries in upsetting ways. A lot of pain over things I couldn't believe a mother would do to her children. I always thought I had to stick by her and never abandon her. She's going away now to live with a sister who had the same experiences, but didn't stick around to care for my mom. Now it's her turn. I could hate my mom if I let myself, but I know that would make all that I learned pointless. So in my mind I'm just going to let her go and just focus on finding happiness. I think some people might call that forgiveness, but for me it's just no longer letting her have any power, control, or negative affect on my life.
Dr. George Hill Hodel murdered Elizabeth Short. Hodel was an expert surgeon who graduated medical school at UC San Francisco in 1936. Hodel was the Head of the Pubic Health Office and also ran a medical clinic in LA where he also performed illegal abortions for high profile Hollywood and political types. He met Short through his clinic in 1943 and dated her on and off until he brutally tortured and murdered her in his house at 1571 Franklin Ave in Hollywood on January 15th 1947. Hodel was close friends with William Parker who later went on to become the Chief of Police in LA. For these and other reasons Hodel was protected from arrest until an indictment was about to be handed down in 1950 for Short’s murder. Hodel was alerted in advance and fled the US for the Philippines. There’s much more to the story but that’s what happened to Ms. Short.
Poor Elizabeth got famous for all the wrong reasons 💔 I would love to know what well known family that dr suspect was from . Oh great mother , leaves her kids , lives in town and poor 16 yr old is in charge! Some people just don’t deserve kids 😡. Brenda was an angel This show did so many good important things . Hmmm the test question wasn’t very hard , of course he could research it . 🤔🙄
Yes he could have researched it ,but why bother? Some bloke in Dorset is not going to be bothered in some dead bloke in Deadwood who we have never heard of in England. The only connection was the surname. Maybe That is the connection and why he may have , but to the point he wrote to them ,at the risk of looking like a crazy person? I keep an open mind when it comes to spooks and psychics. I have known a few mediums, and may or may not have seen a ghost myself; I have certainly had some weird experiences. But do I believe it is paranormal and they are talking to the dead? I Don't know is the simple answer. One told me things about my mother that she could Not have known, but another tried to coerce me into confirming things about people I was supposed to have known, without me even being clear who she was talking about. Yes ,I did know someone who could have fit, (a young suicide) but there was not enough there for me to confirm or deny. The other was a man who had looked after me as a baby, but as I was a baby, how did I know? There was an elderly gentleman and his spinster sister who lived next door and babysat me while my mother did chores, , but I only know of them because my mother told me. She was with me on this occasion, and she was quite annoyed! 'If it Was him, why did he contact you and not me?' Well, as the woman said he has been looking after me all my life, it wasn't really your shout?' Lol Oh, and I have a Native American Guide. Don't we all? In the 70s, they were all Egyptians, next it will be Celts or Vikings! They seem to change with the fads!
Social media and the internet in general might have lots of bad effects to society but I think its fair to say that it makes it easier to find lost relatives.
Social media is how I found my mother who left when I was 12 and my youngest sister who was only 4 at the time. Finding my mom ended up bringing more hurt than good, but it was nice to know what happened to her she just never changed and blamed leaving her children on everyone but herself. My sibling though was a great experience. Social media is great when it comes to that you are right!
That idea that social media and the Internet has a bad effect on people is tiresome to here. People are wicked and evil on their own. We don't need any outside help
Brenda is such a strong, amazing woman & mom! An angel! How many teenage girls could accomplish what she did?! Bless her heart! Her mother was a f-ing poor excuse for a human, let alone mother.😡 She should've ended up in jail & spent a long time there. Abandoning her children, not even FEEDING them from her restaurant, while having the means to care for them & afford them a decent lifestyle... It's disgusting.
I've always been a big fan of Unsolved Mysteries even as a kid it was a big hit in our household. I still watch the old episodes a lot to this day. They couldn't have picked a better actor than Robert Stack with his voice it is so alluring and he just looked somewhat like a tough crime fighting character he looked so much like a detective he just captured your attention and it seems like everything else stopped and you just couldn't help but be glued to the screen. It was like I could be anywhere in the house and if the television was on in the living room and I heard his voice I just stopped whatever I was doing and went to watch the show. I remember I couldn't wait to get home from school and see what the next episode held. And it was a time of just being together as a family. I just recently watched Unsolved Mysteries Behind the Legacy. it was very interesting to see how the show was made. I always wondered where they got all the stories from. My favorite episodes as a kid were about ghosts, Bigfoot and UFOs. I never get tired of watching the show.
Those babies are so precious🥲, that "mother" was a peice of SHIH...BRENDA WAS MORE OF A MOTHER THAN SHE EVER WAS. Brenda being born first was the blessing those poor precious babies needed😏. 🖨️💯🧔🏾♂️
@@nicoleymacaroniIt is not our place to cast judgement on others, living or dead, even indirectly. No reasonable person deserves her fate. Leave that to God.
Thanks to the great Miss Anthropy for reminding me of that terrific Deadwood segment, starting at 27:34. By far one of the best story found on the ghost dvd set, plenty of credible sightings, very chilling. With the Deadwood movie set to air in a week, this is perfect timing. 😁👍
Brenda you are awesome!! The best big sister ever you did what you had to do for them and yourself my heart goes out to you and prayers! My mom was just like your mom she just had us and that was it.
My grandparents once went to deadwood and in a museum they saw a ghostly figure and coincidentally Seth Bullock was in Deadwood but century ago. We think it was either him or Wild Bill Hichkok or Bat Masterton or someone else.
if Dede was murdered then who was the troubled woman everyone kept seeing? She seemed that she had a tragic story of her own and desperately needed help.
ikr? Its like people are like "Oh I saw him /her" then when you look at them, they are nothing like each other. Some people mean well, others just want to inject themselves into the story
the Dede story was so strange. First this waitress thinks Dede is some girl named "Lori" twice and then we find out that she wasnt there at all and was killed by a maintenance man. Who was this "Lori" then?
Knowing what we know now about Dedes murder, it must've pissed of that poor Laurie girl who was constantly being asked and talked about. Clearly she just wanted to be left alone. RIP Dede 💔😓😓
Look..before everyone starts jumping up and down..Brenda's mother was obviously not cut out to be a mother!...and in those days contraception was very hard to get for women! I am NOT excusing her behaviour...but I think that many women were trapped with kids they didn't want. Having said that,Brenda is a hero...what an amazing woman.
Was Dee Dee's case covered on Forensic Files or something? It seems very familiar. Sadly, when they mentioned the cat being left on the balcony I knew it had to be foul play. When you are childless (or even if you are not) your pets are like your family. No way would she have left him in danger. I bet the poor cat saw it all too. Poor lady. She was so unlucky.
@@MissMcD Well, how many times have you heard someone scream in the middle of the night and did something about it? I live in a busy area - especially at weekends - where if I were to call the police about someone screaming at 3am, I'd be locked up for wasting police time and resources.
The most disturbing thing or pattern I’ve heard so many times on this show and any and every crime show is someone hearing people screaming or screaming for help and just doing absolutely nothing!!!! Wtf people!!
Its such a shame a mother could be so cold hearted that not only the oldest had to quit school and take up the mother role but also not even bother to come back
The Black Dahlia and Ohio slayings have the same ending as Jack the Ripper, both killers are reportedly from elite families which are never identified , although known to the police. Ness must have been seriously afraid of whoever this "influential family" was, otherwise, he would've done more.
I kept thinking 'Ripper' all the way through. The surgical mutilations, the letter... When it said Dahlia's belongings I was half expecting it to contain her heart or brain or something! Poor woman. None of these women are ever shown as people, just 'victims, ' bits of meat some lunatic butchered. Which is glorifying the killer and reducing them to nothing. Plus that stigma 'Prostitute' My mother used to say 'There would be no prostitutes if there were no men willing to pay them'
I give UM producers a lot of credit for telling the story of the Black Dahlia a few years before the case became super popular (thanks to John Gilmore's book "Severed"), but there's a few mistakes here and there about Elizabeth. The biggest mistake is that they said she was a hooker - Elizabeth Short was never arrested for prostitution and everyone who knew her said she wasn't a prostitute. Sure she used her charms on men and women to get a free meal or a room, but she never went all the way. She was more a tease than a hooker. The theory that she was killed by the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury run was brought up once again in an excellent book written a few years ago by respected criminologist Stéphane Bourgoin, but the parallels between the two cases are not very solid. The geography, timeline and a few forensic details don't fit. But still, very nice work by the producers.
@@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433 Well there's a lot of mystery surrounding Elizabeth and her short life (no pun), but it can be said with certainty that she wasn't a prostitute. Most of the guys that went out with her all told John Gilmore and other researchers/journalists that Elizabeth basically never gave herself to guys, she wasn't that type. She flirted a lot, used her charms to get a free meal or a place to stay here and there, but nothing more. That's not prostitution, it's more or less being a friendly tease who knew how to get what she wanted. Back then in 40’s LA, dozens of girls were booked or arrested for solicitation and prostitution on a daily basis - Elizabeth was never apprehended for both, and trust me if she would have been a hooker there's no doubt she would have had at least one mention for solicitation in her files. So she definitely wasn't a hooker, and that "trick book" of hers was in fact an address book listing all the places she stayed and all the potential people that could give her a room or a meal if needed, men and women (because she was basically a homeless girl, going from one place to the next and never knowing how long she'd be able to stay there).
@@jonathanturbide2232 do you watch "American horror story"...its a great show, but sometimes they'll take a real person/story & change it a lil. In season 1 ," under house" they featured her & her story"....I don't know if what you say is true , BUT I can tell that you care about ppl....& that's good enough for me....here's to Ms. Short. May she rest in Gods arms 😊
@@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433 Hey thanks a lot for sharing! No I have not seen the show but thanks to you I'm gonna give it a try, I'm super interested to see their take on the Black Dahlia! Big thanks for the reply buddy, and as you said may Elizabeth rest in peace. 😊✌👍
Everything you said about her is really accurate. But even if she had wanted to be a prostitute the bottom line was that she was born with a physical abnormality which basically made her lacking a birth canal. She had no vaginal Canal therefore could not have vaginal intercourse. So she it was would have been impossible for her to have been a prostitute simply for that fact. She most definitely was not a prostitute.
In the brenda story where did her money come from for rent and food to look after her siblings? Just awful those brothers and sisters had to be split up. Well done to brenda for trying so hard, that women deserves to be put in prison for what she subjected those children too. I know raising children can be hard but why have so many if your not going to be a mother to them?
The mother had bought the farmhouse for them Brenda's boyfriend would bring them food from Brenda's mom's restaurant and she'd grown vegetables they said that
The dahlia suspect could’ve been aided by influential members of the medical community. Conducting medical experiments in the pursuit of breakthroughs using what they considered expendable useless eaters.
Random, Please read book named "Black Dahlia Avenger" by former detective Steve Hodel. I think it's hard to dispute his findings on who the killer may be! There's part 2 and 3 to the book too! Much reccommended books. All the best.
Wow what a winner Betty was. Takes off on her 6 kids and leaves Brenda to take care of the kids! She has a profitable buisness and won't feed her kids! Poor Brenda... Shame on you Betty!
this episode of unsolved mysteries was made back in the 80s take example the Dahlia case that unsolved mysteries explored, after dahlia was murdered till 1980+ people did believe it was the torso murderer who murdered Dahlia however ninth in 1999 new evidence came to light which supported a new character that could have been the murderer so if unsolved mysteries waited a bit longer they could’ve explored this case in much more detail this episode is made upon a theory nothing much more stronger than that that’s there’s not even circumstantial evidence there’s barely anything in unsolved mysteries. In 1999 a new suspect came to light who was a strong suspect during her murder investigation - in my opinion it was 100% him not the toro murderer , if I was a serial killer I wouldn’t ch age my amo!!
The black dahlia case will never be solved, and my guess is the killer is dead or dying. Absolutely disturbing that her case will never have closure. One thing is for sure, whomever did this was sick and very upset with Short to do this
ALL UNsolved murders have closer on judgement day. Before that Day the killers, all killers, get murdered repeatedly in hell # 1. See Mary Baxter video. After JD both killers and demons burn in the powerful lake of fire aka hell # 2.
User, Please read book named "Black Dahlia Avenger" by former detective Steve Hodel. His findings is hard to dispute who the killer may be. Theres part 2 and 3 to the books too! Fascinating readings.
@@sonnycorleone3251 Instead read Childhood Shadows by Mary Pacios and Larry Harnisch’s blog since Steve Hodel’s book is full of lies. In his book he made ridiculous claims on his father being The Zodiac Killer

Wow that was so nice to see a family members get back to getter ❤ i just lost my mom and dad and nephew you just had me crying when i saw this family reunite best wishes on finding each other ❤ i am just a crying baby myself ❤
Butch has such a kind disposition.
S/O to Brenda for being a real one. 💯
The black dahlia story has always been interesting for me. I like the time period of 1900 to 1960 in los angeles.
There wasn’t any other place like it!
Whoever killed the black Dahlia was obviously sadistic
Dalia Lama !
I agree. The person who did that is sick!
effooo2000 and Nieva Great insight, detective.
@Chris_Gullett The idea that Elizabeth Short ever worked as a prostitute was never proven, and more than anything was a product of Hearst-ran sensationalist newspapers.
Ya think???
How cool would it have been to have Robert Stack himself portray Elliot Ness in the Black Dahlia reenactment?
It would interfere with his vibe as narrator. He was born for one thing and one thing only; narrator of UM.
@@JH-qy8no He was pretty great as the ATF agent in Beavis and Butthead Do America too.

Wow, the mother in the second is a real piece of work - just walking out of the house and abandoning all her children like that. Smh
She ended up in a home so that was karma for ya.
I dunno how people in those days could just turn they're backs on kids or grand kids cause they're gay or they weren't married I just dunno how anyone could do that
@@matthewvanderhorst3757 They truly don't care about them. That's the reason that they are able to walk away without a second thought.
They want what they want AT ANY COST and don't care what anyone else wants. Or who they hurt in the process.
Poor Elizabeth. What a beautiful woman who didn't deserve that horrible crime.
I know
I wouldn't have forgiven a damn thing! Brenda is better than me.
I wouldn't have either, girl! Doesn't make her better than you!
Forgiveness and trust are two completely different things....you can be at peace with something that hurt you in the past and still choose to cut a toxic person from your life and never trust them again. They never said whether they trusted her in addition to forgiving her, and I certainly hope they didn't.
I think forgiveness is overrated. You can simply choose to not think of a person anymore and not regard them as someone you want close to your life; and make a conscious decision to not hate them because thy are not worth the time and energy. You can however thank god or life for gifting the strength. I'm facing this right now having always been my mother's helper and taken care of her when ill. She has mental issues and over steps boundaries in upsetting ways. A lot of pain over things I couldn't believe a mother would do to her children. I always thought I had to stick by her and never abandon her. She's going away now to live with a sister who had the same experiences, but didn't stick around to care for my mom. Now it's her turn. I could hate my mom if I let myself, but I know that would make all that I learned pointless. So in my mind I'm just going to let her go and just focus on finding happiness. I think some people might call that forgiveness, but for me it's just no longer letting her have any power, control, or negative affect on my life.
Karen Lm It takes huge strength to let go of a narcissistic parent. From one survivor to another you’re doing the right thing and I’m proud of you x
Oh me too friend! Forgiveness for some things is damn near impossible right?!
Dr. George Hill Hodel murdered Elizabeth Short. Hodel was an expert surgeon who graduated medical school at UC San Francisco in 1936. Hodel was the Head of the Pubic Health Office and also ran a medical clinic in LA where he also performed illegal abortions for high profile Hollywood and political types. He met Short through his clinic in 1943 and dated her on and off until he brutally tortured and murdered her in his house at 1571 Franklin Ave in Hollywood on January 15th 1947.
Hodel was close friends with William Parker who later went on to become the Chief of Police in LA. For these and other reasons Hodel was protected from arrest until an indictment was about to be handed down in 1950 for Short’s murder. Hodel was alerted in advance and fled the US for the Philippines.
There’s much more to the story but that’s what happened to Ms. Short.
so awesome watching these episodes years after the fact you get to see cases that were finally solved like the dede rosenthal case. awesome shit.
Poor Elizabeth got famous for all the wrong reasons 💔 I would love to know what well known family that dr suspect was from .
Oh great mother , leaves her kids , lives in town and poor 16 yr old is in charge! Some people just don’t deserve kids 😡. Brenda was an angel
This show did so many good important things .
Hmmm the test question wasn’t very hard , of course he could research it . 🤔🙄
Yes he could have researched it ,but why bother? Some bloke in Dorset is not going to be bothered in some dead bloke in Deadwood who we have never heard of in England. The only connection was the surname. Maybe That is the connection and why he may have , but to the point he wrote to them ,at the risk of looking like a crazy person?
I keep an open mind when it comes to spooks and psychics. I have known a few mediums, and may or may not have seen a ghost myself; I have certainly had some weird experiences. But do I believe it is paranormal and they are talking to the dead? I Don't know is the simple answer. One told me things about my mother that she could Not have known, but another tried to coerce me into confirming things about people I was supposed to have known, without me even being clear who she was talking about. Yes ,I did know someone who could have fit, (a young suicide) but there was not enough there for me to confirm or deny. The other was a man who had looked after me as a baby, but as I was a baby, how did I know? There was an elderly gentleman and his spinster sister who lived next door and babysat me while my mother did chores, , but I only know of them because my mother told me. She was with me on this occasion, and she was quite annoyed! 'If it Was him, why did he contact you and not me?' Well, as the woman said he has been looking after me all my life, it wasn't really your shout?' Lol Oh, and I have a Native American Guide. Don't we all? In the 70s, they were all Egyptians, next it will be Celts or Vikings! They seem to change with the fads!
Social media and the internet in general might have lots of bad effects to society but I think its fair to say that it makes it easier to find lost relatives.
Social media is how I found my mother who left when I was 12 and my youngest sister who was only 4 at the time. Finding my mom ended up bringing more hurt than good, but it was nice to know what happened to her she just never changed and blamed leaving her children on everyone but herself. My sibling though was a great experience. Social media is great when it comes to that you are right!
That idea that social media and the Internet has a bad effect on people is tiresome to here. People are wicked and evil on their own. We don't need any outside help
Brenda is such a strong, amazing woman & mom! An angel! How many teenage girls could accomplish what she did?! Bless her heart!
Her mother was a f-ing poor excuse for a human, let alone mother.😡 She should've ended up in jail & spent a long time there. Abandoning her children, not even FEEDING them from her restaurant, while having the means to care for them & afford them a decent lifestyle... It's disgusting.
That's what I was thinking !! Why was she not put in jail for this shit ? Ditching 6 children!!😡
Ru single? Phone?
Brenda is an absolute saint. Her mother didn't deserve to have kids. She is just cruel. What a giant B.
Job Search. No, she is not single! She is my girl!
@@TheNothing6 That’s right, babe.💋
I've always been a big fan of Unsolved Mysteries even as a kid it was a big hit in our household. I still watch the old episodes a lot to this day. They couldn't have picked a better actor than Robert Stack with his voice it is so alluring and he just looked somewhat like a tough crime fighting character he looked so much like a detective he just captured your attention and it seems like everything else stopped and you just couldn't help but be glued to the screen. It was like I could be anywhere in the house and if the television was on in the living room and I heard his voice I just stopped whatever I was doing and went to watch the show. I remember I couldn't wait to get home from school and see what the next episode held. And it was a time of just being together as a family. I just recently watched Unsolved Mysteries Behind the Legacy. it was very interesting to see how the show was made. I always wondered where they got all the stories from. My favorite episodes as a kid were about ghosts, Bigfoot and UFOs. I never get tired of watching the show.
I never expect to find Black Dahlia's murder adressed here. It's an odd surprise since this is the crime that made me love unsolved crimes lol
When they said Seth Bullock could stop trouble by just giving a look, I instantly thought of my Dad.
Wow! God bless Brenda, & all of her siblings.❤❤❤
Who are these people giving thumbs down to Unsolved Mysteries?
the bradey bunch
Well, probably people that don’t like victims being called prostitutes erroneously just to sensationalize a murder
👎=🖕
right always has been my fav
Maybe some were people upset that not all the mysteries were solved.
Those babies are so precious🥲, that "mother" was a peice of SHIH...BRENDA WAS MORE OF A MOTHER THAN SHE EVER WAS. Brenda being born first was the blessing those poor precious babies needed😏.

Rest in peace, Elizabeth
If she lived for God she’s in heaven if she didn’t there is no peace

Thanks to the great Miss Anthropy for reminding me of that terrific Deadwood segment, starting at 27:34. By far one of the best story found on the ghost dvd set, plenty of credible sightings, very chilling. With the Deadwood movie set to air in a week, this is perfect timing. 😁👍
Look at him, striding out there like some randy maniac bishop
Sad that this episode started and ended with the murder of a young woman. One, the murder wasn't caught, the other, the remains are still missing.
It Remains to be seen.
Brenda you are awesome!! The best big sister ever you did what you had to do for them and yourself my heart goes out to you and prayers! My mom was just like your mom she just had us and that was it.
17:35 How could their mother just abandon Brenda and her siblings like that?
My grandparents once went to deadwood and in a museum they saw a ghostly figure and coincidentally Seth Bullock was in Deadwood but century ago.
We think it was either him or Wild Bill Hichkok or Bat Masterton or someone else.
As soon as he said Elliot ness he actually smiled.
No wonder all us 80s and 90s babies have anxiety our parents let us watch this lol🖤
My parents let me watch Psycho and The Birds! Both of those movies terrified me!
if Dede was murdered then who was the troubled woman everyone kept seeing? She seemed that she had a tragic story of her own and desperately needed help.
No Dede did not leave her cat out and walk away! Especially when it looks well fed and healthy. Us woman love our fur babys like our own children.
I would never ever never never never abandon any one of my cats.. I just could never ever do it..
You got that right. My 2 cats are my 2 youngest kids.🐈🐈😸
Absolutely! My cats were my babies 😻😻🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
"fur babies"... 🤮
@@cherylcampbell9369There's nothing wrong with that.
The man suspected by Eliot Ness of being the Mad Butcher was Dr. Francis "Frank" E. Sweeney
Lol the old bartender harassing the lady who wasn’t DeeDee is classic. 75% of the segment on someone totally wrong
Lol. They always wrong about who they saw.
Lmao
ikr? Its like people are like "Oh I saw him /her" then when you look at them, they are nothing like each other. Some people mean well, others just want to inject themselves into the story
Lol so true
the Dede story was so strange. First this waitress thinks Dede is some girl named "Lori" twice and then we find out that she wasnt there at all and was killed by a maintenance man. Who was this "Lori" then?
Knowing what we know now about Dedes murder, it must've pissed of that poor Laurie girl who was constantly being asked and talked about. Clearly she just wanted to be left alone. RIP Dede 💔😓😓
It infuriates me to no end that Elliot Ness never revealed the name of the suspect
Think it was Sweeney
Dr. Francis “Frank” E. Sweeney.
Nobody ever said the words "foul play" (40:30) better than Robert Stack....😂
Great old tv show.
Thank you uploading. I'm subscribing to the channel.
Look..before everyone starts jumping up and down..Brenda's mother was obviously not cut out to be a mother!...and in those days contraception was very hard to get for women! I am NOT excusing her behaviour...but I think that many women were trapped with kids they didn't want. Having said that,Brenda is a hero...what an amazing woman.
Right, because it's her body and she created herself.
The reunions of family/loved ones are my favorite segments. ❤
Was Dee Dee's case covered on Forensic Files or something? It seems very familiar. Sadly, when they mentioned the cat being left on the balcony I knew it had to be foul play. When you are childless (or even if you are not) your pets are like your family. No way would she have left him in danger. I bet the poor cat saw it all too. Poor lady. She was so unlucky.
So that old lady was right about the scream she heard in the early hour.
@@fearnobodyandtrustnoone yep but did nothing 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
@@MissMcD Well, how many times have you heard someone scream in the middle of the night and did something about it?
I live in a busy area - especially at weekends - where if I were to call the police about someone screaming at 3am, I'd be locked up for wasting police time and resources.
@@zoe-janesutherland4359 wow that's crazy
@@zoe-janesutherland4359 Good grief, where do you live??
The most disturbing thing or pattern I’ve heard so many times on this show and any and every crime show is someone hearing people screaming or screaming for help and just doing absolutely nothing!!!! Wtf people!!

Google Kitty Genovese. You'll see not only is this a bigger problem than you'd imagine, but people just don't want to get involved. Many people.
Its such a shame a mother could be so cold hearted that not only the oldest had to quit school and take up the mother role but also not even bother to come back

I hope she burns in hell...
*Brenda's mom was one of the most selfish women in this world* - a real shame to mothers.
The Black Dahlia and Ohio slayings have the same ending as Jack the Ripper, both killers are reportedly from elite families which are never identified , although known to the police. Ness must have been seriously afraid of whoever this "influential family" was, otherwise, he would've done more.
this is part 2 of part 1 we saw lil while back
I kept thinking 'Ripper' all the way through. The surgical mutilations, the letter... When it said Dahlia's belongings I was half expecting it to contain her heart or brain or something! Poor woman. None of these women are ever shown as people, just 'victims, ' bits of meat some lunatic butchered. Which is glorifying the killer and reducing them to nothing. Plus that stigma 'Prostitute' My mother used to say 'There would be no prostitutes if there were no men willing to pay them'
@@hogwashmcturnip8930
You're 100% correct, and so was your mother👍
I give UM producers a lot of credit for telling the story of the Black Dahlia a few years before the case became super popular (thanks to John Gilmore's book "Severed"), but there's a few mistakes here and there about Elizabeth. The biggest mistake is that they said she was a hooker - Elizabeth Short was never arrested for prostitution and everyone who knew her said she wasn't a prostitute. Sure she used her charms on men and women to get a free meal or a room, but she never went all the way. She was more a tease than a hooker. The theory that she was killed by the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury run was brought up once again in an excellent book written a few years ago by respected criminologist Stéphane Bourgoin, but the parallels between the two cases are not very solid. The geography, timeline and a few forensic details don't fit. But still, very nice work by the producers.
How do you know this?
@@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433 Well there's a lot of mystery surrounding Elizabeth and her short life (no pun), but it can be said with certainty that she wasn't a prostitute. Most of the guys that went out with her all told John Gilmore and other researchers/journalists that Elizabeth basically never gave herself to guys, she wasn't that type. She flirted a lot, used her charms to get a free meal or a place to stay here and there, but nothing more. That's not prostitution, it's more or less being a friendly tease who knew how to get what she wanted. Back then in 40’s LA, dozens of girls were booked or arrested for solicitation and prostitution on a daily basis - Elizabeth was never apprehended for both, and trust me if she would have been a hooker there's no doubt she would have had at least one mention for solicitation in her files. So she definitely wasn't a hooker, and that "trick book" of hers was in fact an address book listing all the places she stayed and all the potential people that could give her a room or a meal if needed, men and women (because she was basically a homeless girl, going from one place to the next and never knowing how long she'd be able to stay there).
@@jonathanturbide2232 do you watch "American horror story"...its a great show, but sometimes they'll take a real person/story & change it a lil.

@@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433 Hey thanks a lot for sharing! No I have not seen the show but thanks to you I'm gonna give it a try, I'm super interested to see their take on the Black Dahlia! Big thanks for the reply buddy, and as you said may Elizabeth rest in peace. 😊✌👍
Everything you said about her is really accurate. But even if she had wanted to be a prostitute the bottom line was that she was born with a physical abnormality which basically made her lacking a birth canal. She had no vaginal Canal therefore could not have vaginal intercourse. So she it was would have been impossible for her to have been a prostitute simply for that fact. She most definitely was not a prostitute.
In the brenda story where did her money come from for rent and food to look after her siblings? Just awful those brothers and sisters had to be split up. Well done to brenda for trying so hard, that women deserves to be put in prison for what she subjected those children too. I know raising children can be hard but why have so many if your not going to be a mother to them?
The mother had bought the farmhouse for them Brenda's boyfriend would bring them food from Brenda's mom's restaurant and she'd grown vegetables they said that
It's one of my deepest hopes that The Black Dahlia case gets solved.
Never. Ben Affleck is way too famous.
The dahlia suspect could’ve been aided by influential members of the medical community. Conducting medical experiments in the pursuit of breakthroughs using what they considered expendable useless eaters.
Random, Please read book named "Black Dahlia Avenger" by former detective Steve Hodel. I think it's hard to dispute his findings on who the killer may be! There's part 2 and 3 to the book too! Much reccommended books. All the best.
I still loving watching these show after. So mine. Years. I'm 36. Remember watching TV with my cousins and grandma ... April 27?2022 Wednesday
Wow what a winner Betty was. Takes off on her 6 kids and leaves Brenda to take care of the kids! She has a profitable buisness and won't feed her kids! Poor Brenda... Shame on you Betty!
God, I love this show!
this episode of unsolved mysteries was made back in the 80s take example the Dahlia case that unsolved mysteries explored, after dahlia was murdered till 1980+ people did believe it was the torso murderer who murdered Dahlia however ninth in 1999 new evidence came to light which supported a new character that could have been the murderer so if unsolved mysteries waited a bit longer they could’ve explored this case in much more detail this episode is made upon a theory nothing much more stronger than that that’s there’s not even circumstantial evidence there’s barely anything in unsolved mysteries. In 1999 a new suspect came to light who was a strong suspect during her murder investigation - in my opinion it was 100% him not the toro murderer , if I was a serial killer I wouldn’t ch age my amo!!
That mother is wicked...
The black dahlia case will never be solved, and my guess is the killer is dead or dying. Absolutely disturbing that her case will never have closure. One thing is for sure, whomever did this was sick and very upset with Short to do this
ALL UNsolved murders have closer on judgement day. Before that Day the killers, all killers, get murdered repeatedly in hell # 1. See Mary Baxter video. After JD both killers and demons burn in the powerful lake of fire aka hell # 2.
How would a little kid or teenage manage to kill her
I Like that Bullock Hotel.
The only major family that matters in Cleveland is Rockerfeller. Especially back in Eliot Ness's day...
What members of the Rockefeller family were in LA at the time of those murders? And for the killings in Pennsylvania.
Um... the murders moved from Cleveland to L.A.? Might want to look at Lebron James.
I know Brenda was ready to forgive her mom, I wonder if they all were able to reunite with her as well? 🤷🏽♀️🤔
You have a great point!
Nothing beats the original theme
I agree!
The Vintage soft editing video production.
The original interviews.
Nothing compares to this Video Production till this very day.
The fact they had an interpreter for the man was warming
Fortunately they only told Brenda that burning a tire would get great heat rather than suggesting that she mix bleach and hydrogen peroxide.
