Add investigative reporter to your resume Jordan! Just got time today to see the vlog. Very in-depth coverage of an almost 96 yr old crime that everyone has forgot. You are always vlogging old things in a new way. Thank you!

[@racheldelgado9216]

Love those old Hollywood stories. Great investigative reporting. Thanks, Jordan.

[@janadeubner9883]

Cool murder mystery. I never heard of this guy before. Talk about the mother from Hell! She sounded like she was pretty powerful for the times. I will have to read this book! Thank you Jordan!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Many showbiz mothers were like this. Mary Astor had a similar mother

[@lemorab1]

Jordan, I was wondering when you were going to get around to the unsolved Taylor murder. Thank you so much for this particular vlog. Sidney Kirkpatrick's book is excellent. If you're interested in Mary Astor, read Ed Sorrell's recent book about her life and lurid trial when her husband found her diary, detailing her affairs and rating her lovers. When the husband threatened to introduce the diary into evidence in their divorce trial, the studio bosses did some fancy footwork to have that diary supressed at all costs. The illustrations alone make it worth reading.

[@timothymorgereth1438]

@@DazewithJordantheLion another interesting mystery to solve would be about Thelma Todd. And the ultimate, the Black Dahlia...

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

Detective Jordan. Great job on this video I loved it. Nice history, even better murder mystery. You tell a great story. Please do another soon. I love the LA crime and movie stuff. The stories of the truth. As a retired Detective myself , this stuff is very interesting, and fun to investigate. Big 👍 up on this video. Stay sage my friend.

[@michelleeaton7955]

Fascinating. And, btw, his murder took place 4 days before the birth of my grandmother. I know, one has nothing to do with the other, but I noticed the date and it made me think about that.

[@sanctuaryrain2010]

Old Hollywood history mystery, Vaudeville, the flickers, Silent movies.. fascinating time period. I don't recognize any of the names except Mabel Normand. This was such an interesting story, thank you so much Jordan for digging into this one. Well done!

[@annesantos5104]

Great vlog, Jordan! I’ve always been fascinated by this old Hollywood Murder Mystery. I read the book years ago and still have it. Your vlog has made me decide to read it again! I love reading about many of the Silent era stars such as Mabel Normand. Clara Bow, Fatty Arbuckle and others. Keep up the good work!

[@trevorrandom]

Love these old Hollywood stories never heard of this guy... More please 😌

[@dazzlingchick]

💋Awesome old Hollywood mystery Jordan! Great coverage! Blessings to U, this channel and of-course Mr. Jah. Love and Light 💖Carli

[@minx2528]

Thank You, for exploring one of my Favorite Classic Hollywood unsolved Crimes!! 😽

[@jubalcalif9100]

Amen to that !! :-)

[@monilaninetynine3811]

One of Hollywood's strangest mysteries. William J. Mann also wrote a good book about this case called TINSELTOWN.

[@Cre80s]

Tangled, complicated and weird! Can't believe how well you can rattle off those names, dates and details like nothing.

[@jackiebratcher2997]

That was so interesting!!.. I love mysteries !!.. Thank You!!!

[@TuesdayAfternoon]

This was a great vlog full of intrigue. I love these old Hollywood mysteries. The best telling of this tragedy I’ve ever heard. 🙂

[@pennygee7668]

Wow, that's a Hollywood Whodunnit at its best! That was so interesting Jordan. I really have never heard of those actors, I don't know too much about the early Hollywood stars, but this story is so full of intrigue, it would make a great movie! I learn so much from your vlogs, thank you!

[@jubalcalif9100]

Well said and well put ! I agree 100 per cent !

[@rev.jennyosorio7003]

AWESOME VLOG Jordan!! I felt like I was watching a murder mystery with all the actors playing the parts and you were the detective trying to solve it. I was so intrigued. Thank you. Jah is a cutie!!! Peace to you!!

[@travelingwithrick]

Mabel Normand The girl who invented Hollywood!! Jordan your silent movie era vlogs are your forte.

[@Auhana50]

Hollywood need to make a movie on this crazy scandal. Great research Jordan

[@johnwooden7614]

Hi Jordan, enjoy your stuff. Found a website that maybe helpful to you in the future. Its call historical aerial photographs. You can see that apartment complex going back to 1948. Was gone bye 1972. You can look at different years. Anyway pet Jah for us.

[@jimmystreet525]

Jordan you were meant to keep old hollywood alive.

[@TheDragonflyCottage]

Thank you for this one. I remember seeing a doc on this murder years ago but not in such detail. It’s a shame those apartments are no longer there. Love that Jah! He’s so cute.

[@rcobb251]

You are my new favorite KZbin vloger!!!! I am spreading the word here in Georgia! Jordan the Lion ROCKS Hollywood!!!

[@debbiemoeller2169]

What a twisted story. Wow. I haven't heard this before. Very interesting. Thank you Jordan for another fantastic vlog. Much love to you and Jah ❤

[@megz_85]

Wow what a very interesting vlog! Thanks so much

[@BennyLlama39]

Personally, I'm inclined to think that dear ol' mother did it, then bought off the DA. I mean, she publicly threatened murder.

[@markcadieux3445]

She was a strong suspect, but they had no proof. WDT wasn't gay. I believe MMM was under aged. That's why he rejected her.

[@1964LBH]

I never heard about this story. Very interesting.

[@mariaday712]

Very interesting vlog. Like you say. I guess we will never know the real story. Jah fans will love that you started and ended the vlog with Jah. Thanks for all the research work this must have taken to make this vlog. Will be waiting to see what you have in store for us tomorrow.

[@bud6745]

Very interesting, quite a few unsolved murder's back in the day. ... When you said, she lived her life in the attic, on a rocking chair.... "Black Christmas" came to mind.. the first one.

[@thebookcave8906]

This is probably one of my favorite vlogs of yours👏🏼 I’ve always been interested in the William Desmond Taylor case!

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

someone knows the truth,,,,,,,another great vlog, tyvm

[@WilliamPierce38]

Great video. You should go to Nashville and do some stories on famous country music stars that have died. Love your channel. I’m behind on your videos but I’m trying to catch up. 😊❤️

[@worldsokayestmom6725]

WOW, WOW, WOW! What a tangled WEB!!! I'm sure to rewatch this vlog, so many twist and turns. Amazing research! TY!

[@TheSeanm102]

geat upload love these old Hollywood mysteries

[@anthonyp3521]

You're a great researcher... very well done!

[@darylturcott]

Interesting mystery I had never heard of before. Thanks

[@sandranokes7443]

What a tragedy and so many people all wrapped up in it! Fascinating story! That house and gazebo was beautiful, now it's an ugly Ross and parking lot. It's so easy to erase history. Take the buildings down and no one remembers.

[@christentaranto7253]

I hope you do more videos like these. I must say this was very interesting. I'm so happy to see Jah back in the videos again. Thank you for sharing another awesome video .

[@mokehbokeh2602]

Love the Hollywood Classic vlogs. Sad story of course. Great research as always.

[@lindachavezw...246]

Gotta order the book...you've got me hooked!!

[@michellevartuli9297]

I'll have to read this book juicy juicy! I love this kinda stuff the stuff with real history and gossip behind it I've always liked the unknown thank you jordan this was very exciting!

[@Ashley-kd2su]

What a crazy story! I had never heard about it or him. I love this type of vlog though. Thank you Jordan for another great vlog!

[@1aikane]

Very interesting. Thanks Jordan for another great story. 🌞

[@pamswilder51]

Yes, another great vlog. Thanks!

[@patbowman6723]

Great story, I love hearing about movie stars and what did and did not happen. I will look up stories about William Desmond Taylor. Thanks, have a good evening.

[@scottieburnett5606]

What a bizarre murder case! It’s difficult to believe it was real life. Jordan, thanks for presenting the various scenarios. The angry mother/lover theory seems right out of an Agatha Christie murder mystery.

[@dequadrewalton2582]

or my mystery book u like them

[@monilaninetynine3811]

Truth is stranger than fiction.

[@gailrobinson1382]

I love your silent movie vlogs. They are so interesting

[@tinahachey454]

Very interesting I love these mysteries thank you again Jordon

[@johna.1825]

Hi Jordan---I realize your favorite things to vlog are your travel adventures which is very understandable. However, my favorite vlogs of yours to watch are, by far, those concerning Hollywood history such as this one. I really hope you keep doing these particular ones as long as you remain in the Hollywood area. Keep up all the good work!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

To each their own

[@yloshaw]

Love your channel. Blessings to you and your little 4 legged one!

[@QueenCityHistory]

I love when you vlog old Hollywood. ....and Jahster! !!!

[@loridee1182]

Enjoyed the great story, you did a wonderful job, thanks Jordan.

[@ne1124]

Wow! I had not heard of this! Very interesting and makes me want to learn more! Thank you Jordan!

[@yoyomax12]

Found you through Camo Dave. I am enjoying your channel very much :)

[@vickihayes4864]

The book “Tinseltown” by William Mann gives the most plausible reason behind this story. fascinating read!

[@maryellenshock]

Gotta read this!

[@ritam982]

Great job Jordan very thorough.

[@mrhighandmighty420]

Wow.. What A Great Vlog... Thanks For Doing This One... Very Interesting...

[@lauriealexander5857]

Another good job!!!❤❤❤❤

[@gregfisher4529]

Thanks, Jordan. That was very interesting.

[@theRealKelvin]

Jordan, her mother was similar to Mother Jean! She didn't want Jean with anyone else! Please do another Jean Harlow vlog! One solely about her life and career

[@monilaninetynine3811]

These stage mothers are something else.

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

Intriguing. Great reporting. Nice to see Jah on a blue background.

[@dianaszydel5944]

I love a mystery! Great video Jordan!

[@surfergirl326]

Thank you for doing old Hollywood vlogs like this! Never heard of any of the people that you talked about but the story was so interesting.

[@MC-342]

Very good mystery. Well done👍

[@paigesmith1727]

Great blog, riveting!!! Thanks Jordan!!!

[@zenpaganwarrior]

Thanks for the upload, Jordan. Btw, "valet" is pronounced val-lay. Cheers!

[@robb7398]

Back in the early 80's I saw King Vidor and Frank Capra when they were on a lecture tour. I got their autographs and got to shake hands with them both. Cool guys. I read Vidor's book about this (but I forget most of it. lol. Maybe should read it again).

[@sandyfatland3141]

Wow! What a tangled web of mystery, intrigue and corruption. Fantastic vlog!

[@lauraodle5816]

What an intriguing mystery! Whoa. Another book to get.👍 How sad for him. The apartment building looked beautiful. Another one bites the dust. Super vlog

[@missdaisy5736]

Interesting and informative blog.

[@carlamurray9696]

Crazy story! Never heard this ! Great vlog!

[@Frauditorfinder90]

Another awesome video. Love learning about old Hollywood history Jordan

[@mercyverdugo1754]

GOOOD MORNING JORDAN AND JAH!!! VERY INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING, WAS THERE EVER A MOVIE MADE?

[@mrDCunningham]

Great story and historical research. Nice work Jordan.

[@mynameisryan100]

One of the earliest and greatest Hollywood mysteries

[@pdxer8895]

Bizarre, Did you leave the flowers. If no, it would be interesting to know who did. Thanks for another fun one....

[@marypozzi5297]

Wow fascinating mystery what a great job you did on this vlog

[@williamzoom]

You & Jah should be hosting a new version of Unsolved Mysteries :)

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

BRILLIANT AGAIN! Hollywood murder mystery of the 1920s. Quite a few theory's, but, I do think it was Mary Minter's mother. So sad that so many of these early actress's mother's had to be so controlling and sometimes so jealous of their daughter's that they resort to ruining their daughter's lives and career's, even though they brought in all the money that kept them! So great how you get all these photographs from the past aswell. Great vlog again Jordan!

[@beckyleisure]

I love a true crime mystery! I just love how Jordan does all types of informative vlogs!!

[@KSilentfilm]

Another Great Vlog, loved it! Thank you and Jah🍸🐾

[@normajean010626]

Never heard of them, but pretty interesting. I love unsolved Hollywood murder cases.

[@marissacaveney4981]

Hi Jordan, wow that was so interesting, poor guy eh. Oh and a funny ending to your vlog with Jah 😁

[@Taragon630]

Talk about a riveting murder mystery,... So fascinating and suspenseful. I hope that someone will make a movie out of this case!

[@ckotcher1]

I absolutely love the puppets. I know one of them is Jeffery but I forgot the name of the other. Anyway another great vlog, really interesting!!! I don’t think it was Mable. Nor the valet. I think it was that crazy Mother who didn’t want her daughter leaving her.

[@Sheilamarie2]

What a fantastic murder mystery that I have never heard of! Thank you Jordan!

[@laurara7071]

Thank you Jordon x

[@jeanmetzger9359]

another great video. Keep up the good work.

[@yvonnebuckley1740]

O, what a tangled web....I had read about this scandal but you provided more details. Well it shall remain a Hollywood mystery since all the players are long gone. 😎 Yay Jah!!!

[@toddbonin6926]

Since it’s the 100th anniversary, I’ve been binging on video about WDT. This, IMHO, is the best one. Not overly dramatic and very matter-of-fact. Easy to follow along.

[@CrazyforTrouble]

I've always wondered about Taylor's apartment location. Thanks for the info.!

[@timetogodoug]

Morning Jordan, another great Hollywood mystery vlog!

[@ticketyblue3080]

I always walked down that place and didn't know he was there.

[@sallylouise9826]

Thanks for the great vlog and murder mystery ! 👍🏻💙🎬🎥🎬🇺🇸🦁🐶👍🏻

[@TalesUntoldYT]

Fantastic vlog, Jordan! I've been fascinated with this case since the 80s! For a treasure trove of information, photos, theories, discussion and reprinted interviews regarding the case with other silent film stars such as Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle, Harold Lloyd, Mary Pickford, Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson, Clara bow and many others, take a look at Taylorology (dot) com!

[@kathleenfreeman9665]

Very interesting..thank you 💕

[@tracietracie8454]

What about the girl who said she did in on her deathbed? I think her name was Margaret Gibson? I really don’t understand that, why would she ever confess to that on her deathbed unless she didn’t do it? That just adds a whole other level of confusion to the story!

[@Josherpoodle]

Loved hearing about this fascinating case.

[@conniecruz880]

This was so good. Love your vlogs. Hooked

[@hawbydawg]

Very interesting!! I love Jah's floppy ears when he's walking.😎

[@lbjordan5082]

Producer king vidor did a special on this. Was very compelling.
