A few months after Fraser's death, Elizabeth Pryor, who Watson married as Milton Lewis in Coeur d'Alene on March, and that's in Idaho, on March 25th, 1919. This is the same year. So he's now on wife three for a year. And we are only in March. Which is insane. She died a similarly violent death.

According to Watson's confession, shortly after they got married, they got into a little argument in what he called a house near Olympia, Washington. And he said Pryor attacked him with a hat pin. And Watson claimed that he pushed her away violently and she fell to the floor but hit her head on the corner of a box. Based on the amount of blood, Watson assumed she was dead.

But to make certain, he said he got a hammer and struck her in the head with it. Now, that's not entirely true. He didn't just hit her on the head with a hammer. He literally crushed Elizabeth's skull with a sledgehammer.

And for him to claim that she fell and hit her head first, I think that's bullshit because you could never tell that he crushed her skull. There was no way to tell that she had hit her head before that. My God. And after killing her, he placed her body in a large hole in the yard. And it was like a large hole that was from a tree that had been uprooted.

And then he covered her over and buried her with dirt. He went back to the house and he said he found the room was so covered with blood that he could not possibly clean it all up. So he just set the house on fire. I have a feeling that's what he was going to do.

In the three years leading up to Elizabeth Pryor's death, Watson estimated that he married about 20 women. I love that even he's not sure. Yeah, he's not really sure. He's like, it's probably like ballpark 20. And some estimates are as high as 40.

Yeah. Holy shit. Some of them disappeared. Some of them were murdered. And it occurred to Watson that it was getting a little risky to operate in the Pacific Northwest now. So he packed up his things, abandoned his many wives without any word. Because you're just like taking out everybody everywhere. And he traveled southwest to California, settling in San Francisco in the fall of 1919.

We are still in 1919.

Once there, Watson met and married Nina Deloney, as well as two other women. Great. So he married three women right off the bat, whose names he claimed to have forgotten by the time he was arrested.

Yeah. Nina Deloney arrived in California from Montana in November 1919, and on December 5th, within weeks of her arrival, she was married to Watson, who she knew as Charles N. Harvey. On January 12th, 1920, they registered at a hotel in Santa Monica, and they spent their honeymoon there.

On January 26th, only like a week later, they left Santa Monica for a camping trip near Signal Hill in Long Beach. Don't go on camping trips. No. With these men. Just don't do it. At some point during the trip, Nina became suspicious that her husband was having an affair. Because he was with many other women. So many women. With all the women.
