She had a caregiver but laid there dead for six weeks in filth, makes no sense!!

[@arizonaarmadillo5829]

The LA City Council literally SALIVATES at any chance to tear down and destroy any hint of historical architecture in town.

[@kaydee4296]

Yes. Some real Green Dealers of conservation aren't they? Not. It's all about tax grabs to them.

[@LABoyko]

@kaydee4296. They are all on the payroll of developers. Los Angeles might be the most corrupt city in America. Few are ever held accountable. Always been like that too.

[@bananafanafoferry6970]

I had forgotten about Kristin Jeanette-Meyers. I had no clue what happened to her. Tragic. This is why I love your channel, Scott. You talk about stuff I didn’t know I wanted to know. ❤

[@TheHarryleemartin]

Found after 6 weeks?! Shows how isolated she was.

[@esterdrass4964]

She was deceased for six weeks, how strange that no one checked up on her. I can guess her daughter was with their father. Very sad. The Pom Pom cafe, love to see and hear about places like that, places long gone. The man who was executed only a year after he was charged. Amazing how fast things were done back then.

[@seanpetaia]

LA was the city of dreams & death.

[@meaghanmcgurn2469]

Thank you for filming old locations that might be gone one day. Preserving history

[@arricammarques1955]

Major respect & admiration for these criminal gems.

[@brendan722002]

Yes indeed!😢

[@Rambo69710]

it's California it won't be there long they love destroying history

[@gigigiseleworld]

Gentrification has been on the uptick since 2017-2024. Vine Street, Hollywood Blvd, Sunset Blvd..

[@lotstodo]

I love 'driving around LA' with you. Thanks Scott. The most shocking thing was Free Parking.

[@chowchops]

Looks like a really nice Art Deco building. What a shame.

[@seanpetaia]

Well that California, they ain’t saving those beautiful buildings. 🙃

[@Vassil00]

Sad that all of the old Art Deco buildings are being destroyed at such a rapid pace.

[@Lillith-z6o]

It's so awful it really should be a crime art deco buildings are beautiful and should be preserved

[@tammybrown4901]

Tragic

[@jamescalifornia2964]

I agree ... 😩

[@PageCreations]

That building at 5901 Melrose was a really pretty building back in the day. Sad what all took place there. I'm glad they caught and put away that serial killer so he couldn't hurt anyone else. It sounds like the judge made the right decision. What a sad tale about the CNN reporter. I remember her from all those trials, (back when CNN was good, in my opinion). Like you said Scott, one day she was just gone and never saw her again. I had no idea what became of her. Maybe because I no longer lived in Southern California any longer. Such a shame that happened to her. Thank you for always sharing such interesting stories. I always find history so fascinating. :)

[@dorothylewis1207]

Judge was Right, back in the DAY when our Justice System was still INTACT!

[@maxwellcrazycat9204]

I agree with your assessment of CNN. It was good. Now it's trash. More like a tabloid. Not trustworthy.

[@SmilingLlama-qt4kq]

Much swifter justice, in my opinion!

[@joanndallas4683]

Please do more of these Scott. They are so interesting and well presented!

[@Rutabaga64]

I read a lengthy story about Kristin Jeannette-Myers in the LA Times and it was so horrifying and sad. A truly tragic end to what was such a promising career and life.

[@DearlyDepartedTours]

It certainly went south quickly.

[@monalisanail5431]

She might have been okay if she would have just stuck to her news reporting and left the other rubbish alone

[@WOAM-zk3lb]

Scott, you’re the best! If I had oodles of cash to give away, I would hire you for a week to show me all around Los Angeles and listen to your stories. I’ve been a fan for sometime now and I’m always excited to listen to a new story. Cheers from Santa Barbara, CA😊

[@sallykohorst8803]

Thanks for showing Hollywood so much and show history. you keep it alive.

[@katsiduzynski488]

Thank you again Scott for your dedication to all these stories & historic places. Without you and Troys work on these angles, we'd be seeing a great loss. No one seems to care. Yet you both do! Thank goodness 😉

[@mrsrae3388]

I absolutely LOVE these old Hollywood/LA videos!! Fascinating!

[@Blueskys1972]

Another great video!!!Everything is being torn down now 😔 The whole Westside is becoming unrecognizable. Thank you for doing these videos ❤

[@WickedWest512]

I dreamed of visiting LA once even thought about moving g there. I'm glad I came to Texas instead. Except in the summertime. It's the devils armpit. Now I am much older and don't get around as much. I am so happy you do this cause without you so much of LA's history would just be gone without a trace. Thanks for the tour, Scott. Please dont stop.

[@MrMverellen949]

They should have called it "The pawn pawn shop"

[@leesashriber5097]

Hi Scott!!! Love seeing the old locations when you show us. I loved this upload!!! Right up my alley. One thing that never changes, sadly, is death. And it can be very cruel. It upsets me to see so many historical places torn down. ☹️ Thank you Scott!!! Never a dull upload 😊

[@Bennifm]

I love these videos, but it upsets me that the powers that be won't leave the historical buildings alone. I know it's progress, but still. 😢

[@kaydee4296]

Progressives in politics are the exact opposite.

[@phillipgraves4721]

Extremely interesting as usual, keep up the good work!

[@ericab845]

Gosh cocktail waitresses totally naked serving drinks to men, that has to have been illegal even in 1961. What a recipe for disaster.

[@DearlyDepartedTours]

I've always found it interesting that in CA you can have a topless bar, but you cannot sell alcohol. It's a bizarre law.

[@kenpalmer985]

Oh boy

[@Purplenpinkk]

@@DearlyDepartedToursI think it’s to prevent things from getting out of hand - to put it nicely. The movie The Accused comes to mind.

I don't see how. Drunk is drunk.

@@DearlyDepartedTours I agree, a guy buys a couple of drinks which makes him attack a dancer. I bet a lot of men go there already loaded...

[@stevegoering]

thank you for your videos...always good stuff and a history lesson...

[@heckster8017]

Thanks Scott for another outstanding video bringing history alive once again. The "death" of some of the locations as well as humans you feature deserve to be preserved in our memory. I hope the Pom Pom building will be restored rather than torn down. Far too many architecturally significant buildings in this country are permitted to be destroyed and replaced with banal structures all in the name of profit. I haven't seen anything built in the past 60-70yrs that is memorable or possessing one iota of design aesthetics that will stand the test of time. The last great wave of design was MCM buildings and homes that are being systematically razed with ugly boxes and McMansions taking their place. When we stop seeing or mentioning these people and places they will forever be lost.

[@nicolebrennan5634]

These newspaper articles are a hoot and a half. I couldn't even imagine a headline today describing someone as an "attractive blonde" or a classified ad with a job requirement of must "be cute". Oh, how times have changed.

[@msc32511]

They literally have top SEXIEST WOMEN articles all the time.

My goodness, Scott!! This was brilliant. I’m glad to know about the newscaster, Kristen. What a sad, tragic story. You answered the questions I had. And “Pom Pom” room.

Excellent video, Scott. Glatman was a savage, indeed. I'm a deep devotee of your Matchbook Video Series.

What?......did someone say "Barbara Payton?!?"...... * hint hint * LOL Keep up the fabulous channel, Scott....!! 😃

"Cut Rate Drugs' LOL

[@bmepdoc9675]

I lived right next door at 584 N Gower St. 1975 - 1984. That home was completely renovated around 1977(8?) if I recall correctly. Its occupants included a couple of younger hoodlum types which would set off fireworks/firecrackers at all hours of the night amongst other troubled activity like loud arguments and blaring music with total disregard for anyone. They were also somehow complicit with the robbery of the hamburger stand on the southwest corner of Gower and Melrose (I believe it was Star burger). Needless to say, they were not liked much. Sad story, Scott. Thanks for the upload.

[@Katrinawitch]

It looks like it was once a beautiful house, but now looks very run-down on google maps. I'm not familiar with LA, so I don't know much about that neighborhood.

[@bmepdoc9675]

@@Katrinawitch Mid class. No homes in that area are under $2M, most are 2.5 and up. It is an Hancock Park adjacent area. As I'd mentioned. When I lived there, it was completely renovated in the late 70's and was gorgeous. A tragic shame on all counts.

[@HilandHall1]

Tere's kitty-corner from there is one of my favorite mexican places in LA.

“The last person to see her alive was the process server” ranks right up there with “For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.” on the depression meter. :/

Watching your uploads reminds me of how insignificant we all are and all have our little role to play on the stage of that short theater play called life in our time.

[@allan9603]

Funny how even today the media misuses the words "rob, robbed.." and confuses them with "burlary, burglarized.." You cannot rob dwellings, graves, businesses.., you can rob the occupants of those dwellings. Robbery occurs when a person or persons are held up using some kind of weapon, or the threat to do bodily harm. Burglary is probably more what is meant, and that occurs when property, money, jewelry.., is removed illegally from a store, residence...

I am so happy you covered this story. I have been waiting for someone to do this. I even found the apartment he lived in off Sunset (I think), and at the time it was listed for rent. I read Rope back when it came out. It was a Newton book written late 90's I believe. I wrote this comment freehand without looking anything up, but I think I'm half-accurate. Just going by memory. Really creepy 1957/58 story.
