So so interesting that all of these men were so willing to protect and defend Dolly until they realized they weren’t as important to her as they thought. She really had them all wrapped around her finger when she needed to.

[@shannoncarter6395]

Master manipulator. Total narcissist obviously 🤷‍♀️

[@margabrita]

@@QueenOfTheComments oh bae i am not on your side, don’t come to me comparing a black woman to someone like Dolly.

[@QueenOfTheComments]

@@margabrita ma’am. I’m dark skin. But I’m not biased like you. Jada is a fucking toxic ass bitch. Don’t try me with that biased ass shit. 🤡

[@QueenOfTheComments]

@@margabrita don’t act like just because Jada is a fellow black woman, that she ain’t toxic.

[@margabrita]

@@QueenOfTheComments you’re comparing her to a woman who manipulated men into killing for her and covering it up. Not the same as “toxicity”. So again, keep it.

[@H0bO]

It seems like Dolly wanted a forbidden romance. She was a housewife without a job, kids, notable hobbies, so keeping her side thing living in the attic of her house never to be seen by prying eyes might have been exciting for her.

[@cassie1264]

Oh Dolly had a notable hobby...it was called Otto and it was weird af! 😂

[@Kpracn0va]

“Side thing” isn’t right, Otto was 17. She did not have a man in her attic, she had boy.

[@OTHisLOVEforEVER]

For everyone saying Otto doesn’t look 17 I would guess it’s not a photo of him at that age, it’s a nearly a century old case and it’s not like cameras were everywhere and people had a lot of up to date photos of themselves, it’s more likely a photo from around the time of the trial since I doubt he was being photographed while living in an attic for all those years either.

[@ebb8511]

I understood this, but still had a chuckle when that mug showed up when talking about “17 year old Otto”. 😂😂

[@Liz-rf4qu]

It's true

[@allthatsparklez1466]

he was not discovered until several decades later and he left his old life behind (i.e., no way of accessing all the things he left behind such as photos) and no way Dolly (one person aware he was still alive and knew where he was located) would've taken a photo of him.

[@tarajh]

Critical thinking is fun!

[@raynaland7852]

It’s so weird that Fred was 17 and Dolly was only 12 but then Dolly was 33 and Otto was only 17 when she ‘convinced’ him to give up his life to live in her attic?? Also where was Ottos family ?? HOW did no one realise he was just gone for more than ten years? I’m so confused

[@pharris6875]

[@chelsea-t]

This case has always fascinated me, Dolly was living her best life! And for Otto to go along with it for so long, idk what kinda magic she had over him! 😁

[@lucyclark724]

it's a very weird case that's less dark than most, but a reminder that murder and cheating on multiple people are very awful things to do. (I guess you could say the murder wasn't completely intentional by either person, but still not cool). I love true crime as much as everyone else here but I feel like we get desensitised to it sometimes! Dolly and Otto are not good people that we should talk positively about.

[@123hotcheetos123]

That kitty 🐱 lol 😂

I just love your voice and friendly face. despite the disturbing content, you are so relaxing so listen to.

You're doing great, thank you for your effort and brilliant video's.

[@eilseleiram]

writers are sort of like that--especially obsessive writers. the isolation but comfort to leave just outside the door for his life and love needs, it was probably a pretty perfect situation for him. she just chose someone who liked and became accustomed to seclusion. (speaking as a married woman who isolates in the master bedroom most of the day due to anxiety lol)

[@jessicaboblick8549]

Love this. Hugs from another married woman isolating anywhere away from my partner (just not in the master bedroom cuz that’s where he plays FIFA aka soccer video game whenever possible and i just cant handle it 🤣🤣😅🤓)

I've only discovered you like 2 or 3 weeks ago but you're easily my favorite true crime channel. no matter what the length, you put out the information in such a detailed and interesting way, I could listen to you forever. the only reason I'm sure people love long videos is just to hear the way you tell the story but ofc like you said not all crime can take up 40-60min so it's ok to make shorter videos. we love it no matter what you decode to do!! all the cases you talk about has been very interesting and you do an excellent job

It can be extra hard sometimes but stay strong and hang in there, your life matters, no one can replace you, I'm thankful you're born and I'm sure your struggles will pass soon!

I love cases like this so many opinions and everything I think its great that you can captivate your audience in 40 minutes but its even better if you can do it in 26 minutes.
