Thank you - glad you liked! 🙏 Possibly it us, but we find it so odd that the case happened before the American civil war. The story just "feels" more recent than that. Thank you again! 🤗
Ah yes! That was the turn of phrase we were looking for! Thank you. 🙏 Ah Will - what an oracle of wisdom and wit! And quite a good storyteller too... Thanks again!🙌
Thank you - we hope you liked! 🙏1849 Harvard we thought was quite interesting. The story, without all the rather dire consequences, could be transposed to today. 🤔
This was a very intriguing case about money, loaning and murder. Dr. Parkman was brutal in his attempts to get repayment of his loan from Dr. Webster but I don't condone the horrific murder of his friend and colleague, Dr. Parkman. Thrilled that justice was finally served with the evidence of teeth. Great investigation, presentation, backstory, illustrations, photos, and videos, too. Take care 🦋 P.S. I enjoyed the additional information about the cases that were solved using teeth as evidence. Even in 2024 murder cases are still being solved using dental records.
Thank you! 🙏 We actually originally came across this story form the teeth one we had done earlier and parked it at the time for later production as an American story in our International month. 1849 - things were very different in 1849 compared to Victorian which made the story that much more interesting to us. It is some 20 years before the American civil war. That loan had been going on for years. It would be illegal to mortgage one's house for a loan multiple times to different people - so we can understand Parkman's point of view. Also, he was incredibly regimented with his schedule and his money. He probably found Webster's continuing loans everywhere difficult to understand. The gruesome cleanup after the event in the hallowed halls of harvard intrigued us. Thank you.🙏
Always love your videos you are my favourite narrator I especially love the sunday longer videos I feel like ive won the lottery when a new one is released. Enjoying watching from Australia.
Hulloooo Australia! 🙌A favourite destination for us - love the people and love the country! ❤ We have a double australia mystery coming up in a week or two for our international month. Australia , for us, is tricky. There are so many very good australian crime channels already, so we have tried to scout out something that is not so well known. We hope you approve! Ummm, super apologies in advance for my horrendous pronunciation. I am renowned for my inability to pronounce anything non-English. But you know, when the story is really good, we have to try to get past that.😉 Pity the Welsh when we do welsh stories. 😏
What a wonderful find this channel is. I’m really enjoying it. Thank you so much for your hard work in finding and presenting these fascinating stories
WELCOME! 🙌 And thank you for subscribing to our channel - it really helps! 🙏How kind! So glad you like! We are fortunate in that we love what we do and we love to share with others! So glad you are enjoying them! We have a really super story coming up on Friday - another international killer - quite a good one! Thank you so much for your kind comment and kind support! Very much appreciated!😁
BLIMEY!! I wouldn't want to owe money to Parkman!! He was unusually brutal in regards to Webster's debt!! This still doesn't excuse murder though!! BRAVO on yet another thoroughly enjoyable video, Robin!! 💕💙💞👏👍❤
Noooooo, Engaging in a loan from Parkman would be a mistake. But, that considerable loan had been going on for some years and one can understand if the surety he has gven has been als given to another. The case attracted loads of attention for the very grisly nature of it in the hallowed distinguished halls of Harvard.🧐"Neither a borrower or lender shall be" - or something along those lines.😉
@@newsofthetimes Oh, I can understand Parkman's frustration and anger, especially when he discovered the double loan and surety!! He DID go rather OTT though, in how he dealt with it!!🤔🤔
As always I very much enjoyed your video. I believe that there's more similar points between professor Webster and John George Haigh other than the fact that false teeth played a important clue. Please forgive me if I am wrong about any of these points. 1 both were a only child. 2 both were spoiled and one way or the other came to think that they were better, smarter and more intititeld than others 3 greed and the love of the high life. 4 forging papers and believing that they could talk themselves out of any problem 5 and they were both hung. It seems to me that this kind of person talks to much and ends up doing there case great harm. I was very impressed with Littlejohn ( l retired after all most 30 years as a school custodian)😂😅 R.C.and the team thank you for all your hard work putting out these videos. I so look forward to them please forgive me for waffling on a bit this time. Take care and I look forward to your next video
Interesting! A true crime buff!👍We think your assessment between the two cases is excellent! (we admit, we were really only focusing on the teeth aspects in crime). So, would you say there is a certain "type" that could commit the ultimate deadly deed? Can we, whilst meeting different people in our daily lives, look at a certain type and take two steps back? Wasn't there a relatively recent psychological study regarding CEO's and this type of criminal? Thank you - very happy you "waffled" on a bit. Quite interesting!😁👍
I have not heard of that study but I would say that if you have a feeling that someone is not as they should be ( just to friendly or off putting) l would think that the best thing to do is step back l believe that the word is having strong/furm boundaries. After all better to appear rude and be safe. I apologize for my use of the wrong word 🙄in my first comment
@@brianbailey5626 We very much enjoy your commentary! Most interesting! Please do not apologise! We had another thought as well - in our corporate days we always used to say - if you want to know what is going on, talk to the custodians. they know everything!😉 It is interestng to see that such was the case as well nearly 200 years ago.🧐
I wholeheartedly agree with you, Brian. Littlejohn was the hero of this investigation. The professors he consulted before starting his dig could have had their suspicions, but without Littlejohn's initiative, Webster well might have had time to dispose of the evidence before they ever got around to doing anything about it. It would take gumption to accuse a fellow faculty member of murder, but to Littlejohn Webster wasn't "one of us."
great once again. thank you all for your work

Hanged not hung, other than that, some very interesting parallels
