I live 10 minutes from Fairview Farm where Anna Anderson lived and died in Virginia. When my grandmother was a little girl she would see Anna at the local dairy where she went for milk. My grandmother believed until she died that Anna was the princess Anastasia. I know we've since found Anastasia's actual remains, but to quote the X-Files, I still want to believe. Miss you grandmama.
So this guy murders his girlfriend, wraps her up and places her underneath her mother's bed and when they finally catch him he winds up only serving 6 years of a 13-year sentence? This is not Justice to me. He essentially took two lives ( he ruined the mother's life) and that's all he gets? I'm sorry but that's just not Justice.
Trish you are so right. This piece of material should have had a trail, taken out in the street and strung up with a rope on anything that wood support him until he quit moving. he had a choice to do right or wrong, this girl did not have a choice, her mother did not have a choice. "May God help us all. Amen."
Omg!! I can't even imagine what that woman has went through knowing she had been sleeping right on top of her daughter the whole time!! And for him to serve ony six yrs!!! No damn wonder she's angry!! Bless her heart!! This is exactly why I refer to the justice system as the "un-justice system"!! The only ones who ever get any justice are the criminals!!
When there's that much money on the table there's no telling what he actually believed. I think he actually believed he could come up on some cash by telling some random lady he'd go along with her story.
I live 10 minutes from Fairview Farm and my grandmother knew Anna as an acquaintance. The one thing we knew in the community is that whatever the truth was, Mr. Manahan genuinely loved Anna, apparently to his death.
Those "well meaning" social services and adoptive parents essentially stole from those children the only thing they had, their family their heritage. It's inexcusable.
Interesting story of Anastasia. Social Services has done some devistating things to families by separating siblings. So glad they found each other!! Oh beautiful Barbara. Sorry for your loss.
Not story of Anastasia. Story of Anna Anderson, who was a delusional Polish factory worker who impersonated Anastasia. They found the body of the real Anastasia and disproved Anderson's claims by DNA years ago
I’m so sorry for Paula’s mother. She will see her daughter in heaven one day. This world has evil but in heaven Paula and her mom with be together forever.
@@bv2745 you’re smarter then the billions of people on earth - all of our greatest minds, scientists and theologians and you, and you alone found the answer, wow thats great lol you intellectually challenged pinhead.
DNA evidenced showed that Anastasia was one of the bodies found in 1979. It had been misidentified as Maria’s body. In 2007, the two missing bodies, Alexei and Maria were found in a nearby grave, and identified via DNA as well.
That, and since the episode aired, DNA tests proved that the real Anastasia was executed with the rest of her family (the Bolsheviks were not known for being kind and forgiving), and Anna Anderson was simply a dishonest old woman who wanted to be famous and rich, like lots of people.
It makes me so mad to see how little children were mistreated, low life pieces of crap on this Earth slam a door in a little girl's face just because she wanted to see her sibling. Justice will be served if not on this Earth, or their death they will reap what they sowed.
I could believe that Anastasia survived the first shooting, but I don't think she survived the stabbing, and the shot to the head, then the burial in the cold Russian winter, and night.
Depressingly, a lot of commenters believe the Hollywood movie tale. Btw they eventually (long after this show aired in the 1990s) did DNA tests. Anna Anderson was an ordinary immigrant from Poland, no relation at all to Anastasia or any other royal. Sometimes, people lie. For tens of millions of dollars, a lot of people will be willing to lie.
Well they did a DNA test and it proves that she could not have been the grand Duchess Anastasia not at all prince Philip husband of Queen Elizabeth II West tested because he was the closest relation to the last emperor of Russia and it proves that this woman could not have been Anastasia
It was so cruel that an adopted child be kept from their siblings. It happens more often than people know. I’m really happy they tried to find everyone. They are family and always will be. There is love between siblings. And for those of you who are missing family because an adopted family refuses to let you love your biological family just know in heaven no one will keep you apart. You will be together forever in heaven.
45:30. So he walked all the way up the airplane trying very hard to conceal his face to the cameras only then to look right outside the window and smile to the camera?
I know we know Anna Anderson is not Anastasia, but...they look nothing alike. The handwriting isn't the same. The ears are wildly different. Who did this impress?
She also couldn't speak Russian. DNA tests, too (not possible when she was making her fraudulent claims), have proven she wasn't Anastasia. But, judging from the comments, a lot of people have not learned that things like DNA and forensics exist, and they still believe the romantic hollywood story. A lot of the American TV audience apparently is of the same IQ level that will send their money to a Nigerian prince....
I'm amazed how pious the justice system can be to nasty murderers but so harsh with innocent people that remain locked up for years and years to no end!!
because the guy was lying so he could try to convince the court she was anastasia so he could get his hands on the $80,000,000. simple. either that or the entire incident is made up.
This show aired decades ago. Since then, the body of the real Anastasia was found (she died with the rest of her family) and DNA tests proved Anna Anderson was just a fraud looking to get rich off the inheritance.
@@curiousworld7912 O.K. Thank you but I asked because I do believe that Anna Anderson was Anastasia Romanov, I believe the British just didn't want her to inherit that 80million.
@@ericmuhammad8920 You know, it's possible, and I know that Jimmy was certainly convinced that Anna Anderson was, in fact, Anastasia. He researched the matter for years, and established quite a close relationship with Ms. Anderson/Anastasia. His book is well-worth reading.

There is no such thing as justice, silly. Beautiful girl. Sad.
NEVER apologize for that
I agree. Justice for Paula (and her mother, whose life was ruined) was not served.
I know right!!!! It’s crazy. Then you see some people serving 20 years for having a drug habit, not hurting anyone but themselves
Who would kick out a family in the dead of winter. Especially at Christmas time... Heartless bastard.

He died so he never knew

Anna anderson was polish...tried to get the money by acting as anastasia.

Yeah he gives me the impression of a conman, eager to cash in on that inheritance. @@aznative_

The Romanovs were so beautiful all of them. Tragic.
😢
Gorgeous people
Anna was a beautiful woman
Anna Anderson was Not Anastasia!! DNA proved she was a Polish immigrant
Anastasia was murdered. Along with her family.
Indeed
yup , she was a fraud , was just truing to inherit wealth
Tru ing?
Could explain why she wouldn’t speak Russian.
Wow Jerry only “Served 6 yrs.” of a 17 year sentence for murder..?!.. Unbelievable…
I always love watching episodes of Unsolved mysteries for the old nolstagic re-enactments...
Definitely
Interesting story of Anastasia. Social Services has done some devistating things to families by separating siblings. So glad they found each other!! Oh beautiful Barbara. Sorry for your loss.
DNA evidence proved Anastasia died with the rest of her family. So, all the grand stories woven around that case turned out to be fake.

@@bv2745then go rot in hell already
I love this episode. It actually really helped me sleep good. Normally listening to unsolved mysteries doesn't really do that. Good story.
People being murdered and peoples lives lived out in sorrow helps you sleep good??????????????
Grrrrr!!! @SailorSaturn69

We miss you Robert Stack (RIP).
Since this documentary was made, Anastasia and Alexis' bodies have been found, Anna Anderson was not the grand duchess.
Yeah makes sense. I couldn’t imagine the executioners allowing any survivors..
44:13 the baby pig is cute though
she lied all along.... what a surprise
@@SonicJaneStooge *women* 🙄
Right
OH my how I miss this show and those closing theme song good the memories of watching all these episodes!!!
james blair lovell must have been kicking himself when he found out anastasia was a fraud
Anastasia died with her family. She did not survive.
U from Virginia? VaGina
😂
Women!! omg my gf said anastasia was her great great aunt,,,then i found out she was just crazy,,,lol
The jail kids parents were incarcerated for something and the jailers were nice enough to not tell the children. That’s why they were placed in homes.
I think you are right
Shame on families who put themselves in these situations having kids u cannot afford
From what I understand the father wasn't staying there with them. They said their parents weren't allowed to see eachother.
How could she be Anastasia if she didn't even speak Russian? Seems open and shut.
That, and since the episode aired, DNA tests proved that the real Anastasia was executed with the rest of her family (the Bolsheviks were not known for being kind and forgiving), and Anna Anderson was simply a dishonest old woman who wanted to be famous and rich, like lots of people.
The Anastasia case: Haha what a waste of half an episode

If she did she probably die slowly alone and cold

Imagine the the feeling these people felt when they learned she was killed when they finally found her body 😳😁😛😝

27:30 - SPOILER ALERT - Recently we did DNA testing and found out the conspiracy theory everyone was so sure of wasn't true. Wah-waaaaah...
45:30. So he walked all the way up the airplane trying very hard to conceal his face to the cameras only then to look right outside the window and smile to the camera?

This story is so sad about the kids and family in jail 😢
That poor guy actually believed anna anderson was anastasia....he did not live long enough to find out the truth...but im glad for that for him.
One day all the corrupt social workers will answer for all of the lives they have wrongfully destroyed..it's sickening
Another great unsolved mystery
Mathew 6:33 but seek ye first the kingdom of God
I'm amazed how pious the justice system can be to nasty murderers but so harsh with innocent people that remain locked up for years and years to no end!!
I know she was an imposter but how did she know the stories that went with the pictures 🤔
because the guy was lying so he could try to convince the court she was anastasia so he could get his hands on the $80,000,000. simple. either that or the entire incident is made up.
She was coached either consciously or as an attempt by well meaning courtiers to help her “remember.”
Her "relatives" told her
I think the guy coached gave little details and let her fill in based on his suggestions.
Plenty of research and coaching was justified by the desire to obtain the massive inheritance.
That Anna was a fake
Kinda a liberal mom. No way I get to sleep in the same room as my girlfriend if not married. And this was years ago.
Well people have survived far worse than that of what the dutchess went through.
This show aired decades ago. Since then, the body of the real Anastasia was found (she died with the rest of her family) and DNA tests proved Anna Anderson was just a fraud looking to get rich off the inheritance.
Why didn't the Czar flee with his family safely like everybody else?!?
I mean, with a name like Gervasoni...
Chris Hanson got him though lol. **I know not Hansen ok**
So everyone was fooled by this Anderson woman, except me.
Some people are sick in the head for real
He served 6 out of the 17 years given? Make it make sense
Mandoo?
Where do they get 6 years of a 16-year sentence for murder? Is it any wonder why we have so many criminals in this world .
Anastasia case touched me the people that killed her family never caught she didnt even get her 80 million inheritance.
Also they screwed up that story forgot to put in that June died in 85 in a house fire and the parents are dead
Chris Hanson, busting since "94!
Is James Blair Lovell still living today, and do you still believe that Anna was Anastasia?
@Eric Muhammad Jimmy was a very close, personal friend of mine, and sadly, he died some years ago. He passed away before DNA evidence was known.
@@curiousworld7912 O.K. Thank you but I asked because I do believe that Anna Anderson was Anastasia Romanov, I believe the British just didn't want her to inherit that 80million.

I VANT TO BE ALOAN!
Did some research and Jerry Gervasoni died back in 2013 Rot for eternity murderer
39:37 home sweet home
DNA proved she was not Anastasia!!
Oh well sad
What did the parents do to get banned from their state?
You kids eat dinner first
D NA collected from Prince phillip and that was used to identify the remains. He was a direct disendent and dna collected from anna did not match
39:27, wanted for murder.
Also being really loud and obnoxious don’t have kids you cannot afford own fault
Jerry Gervasoni died at the age of 54 on 5/27/2013
Not true
She is Anastasia only she knew about the account.
DNA tests have proven your fantasy wrong, unfortunately.
U dont losse hoppe dis is de good thing for u guys
I never understood why some women wear shoulder pads. You would think they would want to look smaller rather than giant line-backers….yuck

One about the kids how awful!!
