Who Killed WILLIAM DESMOND TAYLOR? UNSOLVED Hollywood Scandal

[@racheldelgado9216]

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

[@jeffkidd7409]

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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@gailrobinson1382]

I love your silent movie vlogs. They are so interesting

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@trevorrandom]

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

[@MC-342]

Very good mystery. Well done👍

[@minx2528]

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

[@Auhana50]

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

[@karenwoodward7291]

My mother has ruined everything I've ever tried to do. Many of us just can't get away no matter how hard we try. I long for freedom!! I understand what she went through and know her mother did it.

[@tinahachey454]

[@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!!

[@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!

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.

[@darylturcott]

Interesting mystery I had never heard of before. Thanks

[@worldsokayestmom6725]

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

[@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.

[@thebookcave8906]

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

[@Cre80s]

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

[@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 ❤

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

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

[@megz_85]

Wow what a very interesting vlog! Thanks so much

[@monilaninetynine3811]

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

[@dianaszydel5944]

I love a mystery! Great video Jordan!

[@1aikane]

Very interesting. Thanks Jordan for another great story. 🌞

[@mokehbokeh2602]

[@lauriealexander5857]

Another good job!!!❤❤❤❤

[@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

[@pamswilder51]

Yes, another great vlog. Thanks!

[@missdaisy5736]

Interesting and informative blog.

[@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.

[@carlamurray9696]

Crazy story! Never heard this ! Great vlog!

[@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!

[@vickihayes4864]

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

[@maryellenshock]

Gotta read this!

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

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

[@gregfisher4529]

Thanks, Jordan. That was very interesting.

[@Jakki61]

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.

[@laurara7071]

Thank you Jordon x

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

[@Josherpoodle]

Loved hearing about this fascinating case.

[@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.

[@marypozzi5297]

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

[@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. 😊❤️

[@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

[@sheilaneal-riley684]

This was a fantastic vlog!! I read a book called A Cast of Characters years ago and got hooked on this! I just love old Hollywood and this is the definitive case and you sure did it justice. Thank you and give our Jahster love

[@kathleenfreeman9665]

[@tinathyberg7322]

Neat mystery Jordan. ✨✨👍

[@jimmyroberts197]

I’ve been waiting for this one, and you crushed it

[@jimmystreet525]

Jordan you were meant to keep old hollywood alive.

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@Taragon630]

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

[@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.

[@pdxer8895]

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

[@jackiespiritofadventure6457]

Amazing thank you Jordan

[@zenpaganwarrior]

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

[@missykowalewski]

Very cool Jordan. It was a similar piece u did on Thelma Todd that drew me in and made me a follower. Love this kind of vid. U always know ur history and ur story telling is smooth as silk.

[@williamzoom]

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

[@yolandadelazerda207]

Thanks for the awesome vlog!! I agree with that theory! Good work!

[@jenniferashley99]

I just stumbled upon your channel while having a lazy Saturday morning. You do such a good job in your research - so far my favorite was the Ice Cream death..Thelma...never knew that story but you really did your research, thank you!

[@sandraclements5270]

Wow what can i say, that was awesome 🤩
