Another set of young lives cut short, sadly - nice to have the follow up of Frankie's daughter, though.

[@jessicafain6630]

Wow! That comment from her dad at her execution was very eerie. Seems like he was afraid she was going to implicate another family member to me. I feel sorry for her if it was self defense. Too bad she didn't just come clean. Thank you for this regular awesome start to my week, Mr. Case. 😉

[@anonymousbosch9035]

I think it's Brief; Mr. Case would be his father! 🤣 Have a great day! 😃

[@annabogumil4110]

But if there was another family member, then I think it is not self defense.

[@johannas.l.brushane2518]

I was thinking something similar. It might have been selfdefence, or something like manslaughter but instead of reporting it immediately, getting rid of evidence and trying to hide it had her in a less favourable position.

[@johannas.l.brushane2518]

@@annabogumil4110 It might have been selfdefence but some other familymember came with a bad advice of trying to get rid of the body (and eventually evidence to her favour) instead of reporting it immediately?

[@pimpozza]

These are all very interesting points. This case really got me thinking too! Frankie's father made that comment which definitely implies the involvement of other family member/s.. but I can't imagine a father letting his daughter take all the blame if other evidence might have saved her from the gallows. Did she really convince family member/s to help her murder Charlie? (It seems a mighty huge job for one young woman to do alone.. murdering, chopping up and burning the body! 🤔) Or was she really a battered wife (for which there is no hard evidence) - acted in self defence and possibly got others to help dispose of the body after the killing? I am convinced she had help in some way! So many theories abound, but whatever really happened inside the family cabin on that fateful night will always remain a mystery. A very messed up case.. and totally intriguing 😱

[@irenabevans3411]

The father's comment at her hanging, certainly makes you wonder if her male family members had done the dirty deed & she paid the price for their guilt

[@tross8863]

That's what the majority of us here in Morganton believe..

[@irenabevans3411]

@@tross8863 Interesting to hear that the present population of Morgantown , hold such a collective view on the case, so many years later, as the saying goes there's no smoke without fire & her stature would certainly not have been sufficient to overwhelm someone of her husband's size alone ! so she was either a part of the family doing the deed & complicit in the crime or innocent until after the fact & given up as the scapegoat to save their skin's society at the time being in favour of male rather than the female rule. Also woman were more prone to using poison during that period rather than butchery skills! I think she was an innocent not just because of her age but doubt that even in the heat of temper she would have been able to do the deed & afterwards plan the disposal of the corpse, definitely someone more life experienced had a hand in the matter!

[@scallopohare9431]

OR, since the dead man's parents took custody of the child, there was some concern how they would treat her if Frankie had killed her husband to stop him hurting the child.

[@susanmccormick6022]

Anyone else think hanging is barbaric?

[@scallopohare9431]

@@susanmccormick6022 There's no kindly way to execute a person. Maybe the cup of hemlock gives the condemned a little sense of control.

[@terryskidmore6739]

I live near Kona, NC. I've been to Charlie's grave site. He is buried in a small cemetery behind an old white wood frame church. The church sits on a hill overlooking a small valley once owned by Charlie's people. Charlie's grave is marked by three old headstones. Parts of Charlie's body were found in three locations. This gruesome discovery making the three, side by side, graves necessary. The view of the Appalachian mountains is breathtaking and a fitting place for Charlie's eternal rest. I attempted to find Frankie's gravesite. She is buried on private property located outside of Morganton, NC. I wasn't able to gain access to the property. Frankie's father and two of brothers were in Kentucky at the time Charlie was killed. Her Mother and younger brother were on their home place. Some folks, at the time and even still, believe Frankie killed Charlie in self defense. She then asked her Mother and brother to help her dispose of Charlie's remains. Sharyn McCrumb has brilliantly presented this sad and woeful tale in her novel The Ballad of Frankie Silver. An excellent read.

[@BriefCaseOfficial]

[@___LC___]

I feel sad for Frankie, girls were married off so young and abuse was rampant. Who knows if she was actually the killer as she never received a fair trial.

[@gervanwilliams1409]

“Who knows if she was the killer.” There’s no doubt that she was the killer. The blood in the cabin they shared, bones in the fireplace. The real question and only question is whether she killed him in self-defense. As you stated, women were abused quite often back then, and even while most of them lived with the abuse, there were changes in society at this time. Women were beginning to fight for equity and rights in both society and their home.

[@garycarpenter2980]

Sometimes the trial wasn't fair and they were executed anyway or they just disappeared and never seen or heard of again

[@elmerbefuddled2156]

The district attorney-investigator suspected she was completely innocent, for many good reasons. But because she confessed to the crime he had no choice but to arrest & try her. (Frankie's cabin, where she lived with her husband, was half a mile from her parent's homestead. The D.A. believed she had run to her father for help the evening her husband threatened to shoot their crying baby. It was winter & cabin fever had made his violent drunken rage worse than usual. Her father & brother immediately went to her cabin to confront her husband. Whether his death was accidental or deliberate, don't recall. But they dismembered, burned & buried his remains. Afterwards, knowing both men would hang for the crime, leaving the family destitute without male providers, her Father told Frankie to take the fall for the murder. He convinced her that all would be fine - that a jury & judge would never hang a young girl who had a little baby to care for. Wrong. Her father gambled Frankie's life & lost. His last words to her meant, "Stay silent & save the family!" And she did. The proud but cold reality of pioneer mountain life in the 1830s.)

[@___LC___]

@@elmerbefuddled2156 Yes, back then far more than today, people were pushed into a false confession through various means of torture and threats.

[@elmerbefuddled2156]

@@___LC___ True, there were no legal watchdogs or technical means for preventing or recording law abuse. Re Frankie's father, he did care about her. Otherwise he wouldn't have so brutally punished her husband. And he did help her escape jail. He was also correct about public sympathy, in that few wanted to see her hang. People knew their neighbors & that there was likely more to her story than selfish cold hearted murder. Unfortunately the deciding magistrate was a traveling judge, like the D.A., & unfamiliar with Frankie's community. Because crime was so low in this district. In the end, her decision to confess was a sacrifice to ensure the survival of Frankie's mother & younger siblings; her father & brother. The story is sickening but people sometimes had to be harshly practical. Esp if they were poor. Frankie probably understood this, even though she was just a kid.

I wonder why the judge overlooked that the evidence was found by someone who just walked into Frankie's house uninvited ( which we would call "breaking and entering" ).

[@alyssaransome3899]

That’s what I was thinking! I was wondering why the cop over looked it. Also why didn’t Charlie’s dad find all that when he went to his son’s house just a couple days after he disappeared?

[@edwardmckinsey1139]

I'm pretty sure that evidence obtained without a warrant is not allowed in court. He was not "invited" in and saw the evidence, nor was he a Peace Officer. So, to support your argument, why would the judge allow this evidence in court, let alone allowing the "witnesses" to speak to each other and get their "story" straight! Total miscarriage of justice!... Just my opinion...

[@SherylAnneTBien]

I woud never thought that she will commit a horrendous crime on her husband 3 days before Christmas of 1831. Not to mention that her family was somehow involved in the murder. But I guess Frankie took her secret to the grave and that is why it is still being talked about today in North Carolina. So many assumptions as to what really happened to her husband, we will never know.

[@erikamarie5535]

Thank you for telling us what happened to her daughter afterwards. I always wonder what happen to the poor children who lose both their parents. I would like to think it was self defense but I think that her father, making her hide the truth, was wrong. These cases are always so sad because the murder is also a victim of the abuse they suffered and you wish there was a different outcome. So sad. Another great job BC. 👏

[@hrefna1606]

Another fascinating case. Poor woman was probably acting in self defence against a drunken, brutish husband. Her dad's last words to her sound like the family knew the husband was violent and cruel, and others in her family were involved in the killing, and who could blame them?

[@algini12]

The dad's last words to her sounds to me that he was telling her to not mention her family. An obvious implication of their involvement.

[@tralala9873]

I think they helped her dispose of the body, I believe her story.

[@aye70aye]

Afternoon BC and BC peeps, My feeling is it was probably self defence and her family disposed of the body, awful court proceedings but prob all were in 1800's. Poor little daughter, makes you wonder what she saw.

Usually I agree with the verdict but I am not so sure this time. Back in those early days women were considered 2nd class. I can see some judge not caring about bowing to a woman. It was a good story, I liked it. I am glad we have come a long ways since then. Thanks again!

Wife here..My Husband and I are both from Burke County...My Grandfather was a very well liked Sherrif here..I've heard many times that my late Uncle was quite fascinated in solving this case!!

I love hearing these older cases and you do it so well. I'll forgive the mispronunciation of Morganton as I couldn't say the majority of towns in the UK.

Beautiful, thank you very much dear Brief Case! ⭐

[@BriefCaseOfficial]

Thankyou for listening

[@derekstocker6661]

These early cases are so very interesting, forensic test's were in their infancy and the good old detective work done was usually the winning ticket in crimes such as these. Very sad cases as well in which people with very ordinary lives were often at the mercy of the well heeled. Thanks so much for this, sad and disturbing case.

[@MiaDjojowasitoMalik]

Thank you, BC. Hope you're having a good Monday. 🙏🏼💜💜 Why didn't her lawyer use that story in the first place?

[@marionbowler5440]

I really enjoyed your picks for the scenes, absolutely beautiful, another great brief case. Excellent as always, keep them coming, thank you BC.🇨🇦🐘🍁🤗

Thankyou :)

Frankie Silver is a distance relative on my Father's side of the family. Surprised to come across her case in my feed!!

[@ankylosaruswrecks3189]

There's a book by Sharon McCrumb called the Ballad of Frankie Silver. It's about another, recent, murder case from the same area. It uses a fictionalized account of Frankie's trial to compare the current murder mystery. It's really good.
