On August 22, 1922, neighbors in a Los Angeles neighborhood called police after hearing gunshots. When police arrived, they found home owner & wife, Dolly Oesterreich locked in a closet, her husband, Fred Oesterreich, shot dead on the floor. After questioning Dolly, she told police that a burglar broke in, shot her husband dead & stole his expensive watch & fled. Allison tells us the rest of the story this week.
