In 1946, a 19 year old girl in NYC was approached by a detective asking her for help on a theft case. Little did she know, she had no idea what she was signing herself up for…

Hey everyone! Starting next Wednesday (October 4th), all future Hidden Stories will be migrating to a new, separate channel for clarity and simplicity. All of the current stories will still remain up on this channel, but all new videos moving forward will be posted on the new "Hidden Stories" KZbin channel here: www.youtube.com/@hiddenstoriesYT. If you want to continue keeping up with the weekly stories and my Hidden Stories series, subscribe to this new channel ✌

OMFGoodness that was insane. That poor woman. I feel bad for Pearl too. I don't even want to imagine doing something like that, the guilt would be horrible

[@a_weird_mess3]

This was insanely good! Loved watching this one! Good to know that Olga actually survived even after the accident with poor Pearl

[@staticostrich4689]

Thank goodness the police were able to piece the story together and remove Pearl of all her charges. What a crazy story. How do you go about finding these? You always do an amazing job!

[@HiddenDesign]

I don't usually comment on videos out of thanks or appreciation, mainly just to say a thing or two. But this video was actually great. The storytelling, the actual story, I had never heard of. Hopefully the longer videos gain more traction; I love watching these!

[@TwiliPaladin]

Man, I love the Hidden Stories series.

[@alifharahap6524]

WOW the way you tell the stories just make the stories more compelling ! Good job👍

[@BhGriffon13]

I love how these videos really take on both sides and barely have a bias

[@anayadegani626]

This is horrible olga did nothing wrong she was in an abusive marriage, she lost her job, was penniless , selling costume jewelry, and the judge completely dismissed her case while Pearl got a more stable job, started a family, had a child. I don't think it's Pearl's fault at all but i just imagine how Olga must have felt

[@klips106]

She wasn’t in the marriage when it became abusive

[@anayadegani626]

​@@klips106it says he was married to her at 11: 09 in the video

[@niggachad_1]

As someone studying law. I can say that if he was the one that shot her directly she could have Sued the police but he used someone else which was complete stranger, meaning the police department did warn him that he should stay away from her which he did, but you can't expect them to be investigating every stranger around her. Making this not the police fault cause 1. they warned him to stay away or he will get arrested 2. He wasn't around her for months so they believed he stayed away 3.he used a stranger to try an kill her which unless the police had some magical powers they couldn't know. I feel sorry for her but the police did Thier job accordingly

[@darelcream]

Your longform videos are so underrated, curse shorts for giving all of us short attention spans

[@DylanCam.]

I have heard this story before. You did a really good job explaining this story!

[@jon-kristoffwilliams9951]

I've been watching your stories for a while and you never fail to make one intrigued

[@Atikmis]

I know that numbers seems really small for your long video's but I really enjoying them please don't stop doing them. Hopefully you'll get bigger numbers in time. Thank you :)

[@anonymous-cg4ot]

I finish work every Wednesday by 4 pm and watch your videos on the way back home. These are memories in making for me. Please continue these long stories.

[@theblobfishwhisperer909]

Thanks Andy. Just found out you do full videos after seeing your shorts for a while. You are awesome, please keep doing what you do!

[@gabrieltsimbler6297]

This is the first longer video I watched of yours, and I LOVE IT!!! You explain really well. Keep up the good work!

Andy, Another well told and interesting Hidden Story. I don't know how you are able to find these stories. As always your enthusiasm and well told tale illustrates the tail in my minds eye.

Wow Andy this was an amazing story! You tell these stories so well 🥳 thanks for revealing hidden stories to everyone! They're always super interesting

These stories are always so exciting to watch, keep up the good work 💪🏼

I have heard that story before but I didn't understand all the details until just now. Your just a much better story teller. It's a rare talent. Do Not Stop. It is definitely your calling. Ty again.

This story is crazy! But would it be even crazier to think that this kind of manipulation would still be possible today? 🤷‍♀

This plan was pure Evil Genius. Alfred Hitchcock should have made a movie about it, with Grace Kelly as the unwitting accomplice.

Late to the party here but so glad i found this story. You really have great narrative skills. Wondering why you've stopped the longer format?

[@jasonlow8715]

You do have the ability to keep people continue listening. Maybe its due to the fact that your enunciation and pronunciation is clean , clear and crisp. Keep it up.
