FROM THE HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE VAULT: DOLLY OESTERREICH

*this episode previously aired on 2.15.2023

Love, Lies, and a Man in the Walls

At first glance, Walburga “Dolly” Oesterreich was the picture of a perfect 1920s housewife—elegant, sociable, and impeccably dressed. Married to Fred Oesterreich, a wealthy apron manufacturer in Milwaukee and later Los Angeles, she seemed to have it all. But beneath the satin and social charm, Dolly harbored a scandalous secret.

Los Angeles, 1922.
Gunshots rang out from the Oesterreich home. When police arrived, Fred was dead—shot three times. Dolly was found locked in a closet, unharmed, claiming a robbery gone wrong. But the truth was far more disturbing.

Fred hadn’t been killed by a burglar. He was murdered by Dolly’s secret lover—sixteen years her junior—a man who had been living in their attic for nearly a decade.

This is the twisted tale of Dolly Oesterreich:
Love, Lies and a Man in the Walls.

Lt. Ray Richard “Joe” Clark was shot through the kitchen window and killed in his Marietta, Ohio home in 1981. It would take a cold case team, the Ohio BCI, and a canary-singing getaway driver to finally bring his killer, Mitch Ruble, to justice thirty-three years later.\

A Body in a Field. A Code No One Can Crack.

On June 30, 1999, the decomposing body of Ricky McCormick was discovered in a rural cornfield just west of St. Louis, Missouri. At first glance, it was a tragic—yet seemingly simple—case: a 41-year-old man found dead in the elements.

But what police found inside Ricky’s pants pocket would turn a suspicious death into one of the most puzzling unsolved cases in FBI history.

Two sheets of paper. Covered in handwritten, jumbled letters, numbers, and symbols. No names. No dates. No decipherable language.

To this day, no one has been able to crack the code.

Three Jolts to Justice: The Shocking Case of Michael G. Schiller

A brutal backyard murder. A courtroom drama. And an electric chair that just wouldn’t finish the job.

Michael G. Schiller was convicted not once—but twice—for the brutal and unthinkable murder of his wife, Mary. After disemboweling her in their Youngstown, Ohio home, Schiller maintained his innocence through years of legal maneuvering, appeals, and retrials. But justice caught up with him in the end. In 1904, after two death sentences, Schiller faced the electric chair—three times—before he finally died at the Ohio State Penitentiary. In this episode, we unravel the twisted tale of a man whose final punishment was as shocking as his crime.

Lizzie Borden: The Axe Murder That Still Haunts Fall River

On the morning of August 4, 1892, the quiet town of Fall River, Massachusetts, became the backdrop for one of the most infamous unsolved murders in American history. Andrew and Abby Borden were found brutally hacked to death in their own home, their skulls shattered by multiple blows from a hatchet.

When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one
