Dolly Oesterreich’s Hidden Lover

Jump to the AD-FREE Safe House Edition

Episode 468 is what Agatha Christie would call a "locked room" murder. In 1922 Los Angeles, Fred Oesterreich seems to have been murdered by a ransacking intruder. The problem: The house was locked up tight when the police arrived with the dead man on the floor and his wife locked in a closet. No signs of forced entry. Eight years would pass before the world learns the truth of Dolly Osterreich's kept man. Not a euphemism. She literally kept a man in her attic.
