And George said, hell yeah, brother.
He recalled, I congratulated them both and Fred thanked me profusely for the ceremony.
They were happy at the time, or at least Fred was and Millie appeared to be.
So after the ceremony, they immediately left for their honeymoon and George was like, have the best time.
So happy to have done this favor for you.
But the next day, George got a call from somebody who had pretty alarming news.
George told reporters years later, I got a call from a lady who asked me if I knew who Millie was.
And I said, yeah, I do.
She's Millie Ann Russell.
Then she asked me if I'd ever seen a program on the Fifth Estate called Black Widow.
Now, the Fifth Estate is like an investigative news show over in Canada.
and george was like um no i haven't seen that but i guess i should go check it out oh boy so he didn't know it at the time but he had just sent his friend off on a honeymoon with a notorious felon and convicted killer that's not what you want to find out the day after that performing a ceremony that's the thing the day after you performed this ceremony and said like do you take you not nice by the power vested in me live your best damn life yeah that's not great it's
Shout me out doing one soon.
So after familiarizing himself with the Fifth Estate episode, George learned that Millie was in fact Melissa Ann Shepard, who was a notorious black widow.
And she was also known to have killed at least one of her husbands in addition to committing other crimes.
