But rather than follow Walter out of town like the private detective thought he would be doing, he tracked the man less than a mile away from his home with Catherine. What? In Hollywood, where he discovered that Walter had indeed been carrying on a relationship with another woman. He was having an affair. But that was the least of Catherine's issues here. Oh, no.
In fact, his real name was James Watson and... And that was not the only name he was known by. Uh-oh. So let's go back to the beginning. Who the fuck is James Watson? Because what are you doing, sir? Yeah. Is what I say. Yeah. Less than a mile away from your home? That's crazy. And all that time she thought he was like going here and there and everywhere.

Less than a mile away. But he was going out of town sometimes because that was not the only thing he was doing. I'm so scared to know what he was doing. As you should be. In the interviews he gave just after his arrest, because he would be arrested later, Watson claimed to have very little memory of his early life. That tended to be his go-to thing.

When he didn't want to talk about something, he'd go, you know, it's crazy. I just don't remember. He pled the fifth a lot. Good. He would go so far as to tell a reporter that he'd grown up in an orphanage and couldn't remember which state he resided in. Okay. He only knew that it was in the south.

Now, when asked what he knew of his parents, he again claimed he really didn't have any memory of either his mother or his father. But he did have vague memories, apparently, of both parents appearing at one point or another to claim him at the orphanage. He said in an interview, it appears that a man came and they said they must hide me for they didn't want him to have me.

And I think I heard someone say he was my father. It seems to me they put me under the bed or in the closet just before he came and I stayed there until he went away. And do we think this is true? Survey says that's a lie. So, yeah. No one really knows why Watson told these stories at this time, especially. Yeah. They were basically all lies. Like, he just kind of bullshitted his whole life.

I guess it makes his life sound more interesting. Yeah, he's very... He's H.H. Holmes-esque. Ah, I see.

Yeah, where he lies a lot, he embellishes a lot, he goes by many aliases to get away with different things. All very fantastical. Lots of marriages happening here. But he would also claim that he couldn't remember details of something when, one, he wanted to get away with something or just be a dick. Yeah.

But he also, they found that he would do this when the reality of the situation was too painful. Yeah. So he did have some trauma. Yeah, I was going to say that's definitely a trauma response. And this would make sense for him because, again, his early life was definitely not great. There was a lot of abuse, a lot of neglect. He did not grow up in a loving home.

He was born Charles Gillum in Carroll County.
