Billie Frechette - Dillinger's True Love.

[@NJJG926]

Billie was a housekeeper across the street from my parent’s home and she ended up marrying the father of neighbors years after Dillinger…. Art Tic.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

her last husband I guess. neat that you you were actually there where she was!!! did u ever see her? she is legend in my book

[@NJJG926]

@@FacesoftheForgotten I was quite young when they were married. I do have vague memories of her with Grandpa Tic ; however, my older siblings remember her.

My grandmother and her 9 children were gifted shoes and clothes from Mr. Dillenger. She lived on the reservation alone with all of her children and had no indoor water or electricity in Neopit. My Aunt was friends with Billie. She had great stories.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

oh ni e, thanks for sharing that!! she was generous sound like....I wish I could have met her. another generation, another time.

[@debbieunold245]

@@FacesoftheForgotten Absolutely, I have a story about how Dillenger got from Chicago to Neopit by tricking the FBI. the building his men used is still on Hwy 21 just outside of Omro WI.

Most of them were protesting the great depression. They weren't against the people, but the government. Like you said, Robin Hood type. I can't remember which, but he was in a bank robbing it, and got the money and a guy was standing in line to cash his check. And he cashed it out of the money he had just stolen. 😅 Great story, Ron. 👍

[@shirleyashanti3031]

That was intriguing. She was a beautiful woman. With different circumstances, they might have had a wonderful life. Thanks for a great story.

[@teresalambert9181]

WOW how exciting to go down the old road with Billie and John. Absolutely crazy seeing the bullet marks on the walls and glass. I learned so much history on your channel Ron I do appreciate ALL the work and traveling you have to do to get each episode done. And thanks for all the help you receive behind the scenes!

[@GuessWhat-ci6wm]

P.S. You are the best story teller I ever heard. These stories should be in a book!

[@catherinewyrobeck5388]

Ron!!!U blew my mind with this one. I live about 1 mile from this cemetery in Shawano. Interesting story. I moved here from Milwaukee about 4 yrs ago. While still living there I sent you a lead about an interesting cemetery there which you did follow up on .... what a kick. Love your channel, love the community you've created.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

neat, you live right there!!!!!!

[@marktaylor9975]

I loved her story and a few time I was wondering how you were going to say it. But well done. I’d say that was a accurate assessment of her life. Very beautiful and a lady she’s been a great study.

[@maryknight4823]

Hello again Ron, A UK fan here. I've seen a lot of films/documentaries about Dillinger, but the history you have told here really opened my eyes about his girlfriend Billie. Thanks as always for your great videos and all the work/research you put into them l wish you the very best👏🇬🇧........

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

that's the plan, find stories that are less known, uncover history!! thanks!!

[@wendystumpf6030]

My husband lived in the Lincoln Court Apartments directly below the one Dillinger stayed in. They were exactly the same. Loved seeing it and the hallways and back door where the shootout and escape happened. My father grew up near Little Bohemia and told us about the times the gangsters came through town he grew up in. Said everyone left them alone and that they (the gangsters) kept to themselves but were also polite.

[@theresalaux5655]

Thanks Ron! Awesome show as always! 🎉

[@YTmama-c1o]

What a fascinating story Ron!! Billie led quite a life ❤ I loved the music and black and white intro, talk about getting us right into that time period! The way you told this story got me so invested in what happened to Billie. On some level i think alot of us can understand how she fell for Dillinger. She sure had her share of heartache but she kept on going. Thank you Ron thoroughly enjoyed this!👏👏💜

Thankyou Ron, interesting characters, from an era a long time ago, but you present it like it was yesterday, we relive it with you. From Australia 👍🇦🇺

[@lootsnuthouse9462]

Another superb job Ron!!! I knew Billie Frechette was from the Menominee Reservation, when you mentioned Neopit I remembered that my wife's grandmother, Stella McNutt, was born in Neopit. I dug deeper and found that they both were born the same year, 1908, in Neopit. My wife's grandmothers father worked at the sawmill and her grandmother was around 10 years old when they moved to Crandon. Makes you wonder if they went to the same school and if she remembered the family. Kinda wish I would have known all this before Stella Mc Nutt passed away. What a small World.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Very interesting. And I know what you mean. My grandfather fought in World War II, but died when I was very young. I wish he would’ve lived a little longer, so I could’ve gotten first hand accounts of his trials and tribulations.

All my knowledge about these folks comes from you, Ron. I would have never heard about these stories otherwise. You always tell the most interesting information and in the most interesting way. I listen to/watch your productions over and over. Thank you for taking us on this adventure. Beautiful flowers you brought her. Glad she got her life on track after that prison stint. It was a lovely day there for your walk. Helene (tropical storm) skirted past Warner Robins and so thank God, no issues here but TN and NC and other parts of GA had devastation. FL knew it would get devastation from Hurricane Helene, as did southern GA. But TN and NC were shockers.

[@footballlvnlady]

I have some information on Dillinger after Little Bohemia and before he was killed in Chicago. The gang somehow got to Howard, WI. This is a suburb of Green Bay. At the time it was a tiny village not part of GB. Dillinger showed up and he thought he’d stay here for awhile to hide out. I live in this village and the street this occurred on is only a 1/4 mile from me. There was an old dance hall/hotel called Kutska’s. I went to dances there in the late 70’s. It was tore down a few years later. Dillinger tells the people here he just wants to hide out for awhile. He said we won’t hurt anyone. So they stayed at the hotel for a week. He gave Mr. Kutska a suitcase and told him not to open it.There was a small train depot on that street. Dillinger used this to get his guys in/out of the area. For a week he was able to walk down the street and no one bothered him. He was thrilled. He got wind that the feds were looking for him so he had to get out of here fast. He left the suitcase behind. Mr. Kutska didn’t want to touch the suitcase and figured Dillinger would have someone get it for him. After Dillinger was killed Mr. Kutska hung onto the suitcase for a couple years. Then, he decided to open it. There was $150,000 in the suitcase. Mr. Kutska shut it up for awhile thinking someone would come for the money. Eventually they remodeled the hotel and dance hall. No one ever came for the money. Everytime I drive that street I think about Dillinger.

[@shereemcclelland2186]

Great story Ron. I'm not sure why women look up to these bad boys. It never made sense to me. But like they say, if you play with fire you're going to get burned. Once they're involved there's no turning back. She was so young to die. RIP Billie 💗💐

[@SPennell]

Part of the attraction was that Dillinger had an abundant package in his pants. By the way , the Ohio jail he escaped from is pronounced (LY-muh) not (LEE-muh). Nice story, Ron.
