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.

And she found several letters from other women in his possession. Yikes. The two got into a heated argument, and after losing his temper entirely, he struck Nina in the head with a hammer, then smothered her with a blanket. After smothering her, he struck her several more times with the hammer just to make sure she was dead. Yeah. Just the... Brutality. Yeah, the violence is insane.

That night, he wrapped Nina's body in a blanket and drove south to the Imperial Valley and buried her in a shallow grave along a mountain road. About a month later, one of Nina's friends in Kentucky received a telegram from her saying she was in Tijuana.

So he would also, and we find out later, he would follow up with letters to all their family members to try to make sure they thought they were alive.

So he would also, and we find out later, he would follow up with letters to all their family members to try to make sure they thought they were alive.

And these are like multiple, multiple women that he's killing and maintaining relationships with their family members as them. He had to have been kept keeping crazy logs of whose family was who. He did. And he kept all their letters. I love that he can't remember certain women's names that he was married to, but somehow was able to keep track of all of that.

For someone who has a shitty memory later in life, he was able to hold... Many different people and I can't even remember people's names who I literally just shake their hands. It's true I forget names immediately and it's not because I don't give a shit It's because I just don't hold the name some people just turn up.

Yeah, I don't have that ability Yeah, and this guy is literally holding all these facts with people maintaining Communication with their family members and then later is like yeah, my memory. It's just crazy. I'm like, no, no, it doesn't make any sense. I Now, among the more curious aspects of the case for investigators and the public, honestly, was how Watson was able to do just that.

How was he able to manage multiple wives at one time? Logs. Married couples see each other. And logs are one thing, but married couples see each other? Most days. I see Drew like every day. It's crazy. You pretty much live with your spouse.

You see them a lot. Yeah. So juggling as many as four or five wives at once would require a lot of absences for each of them. Yeah. Watson's solution was to tell each wife that his job required him to travel often, either as a collections agent or a secret service or other government agent. Of course.

Yeah. To the ordinary American in the early 20th century, those jobs were familiar titles. That wasn't weird, like collection agent. Right. But they were vague enough that no one was going to pry any further. And in the event that one of the wives would become suspicious, he would just quickly pack up his and usually her things and disappear or just murder her. Yeah. Those were his two options.

Yeah. Steal all her shit and disappear or murder her. Yeah. Now, the latest of Watson's wives, Catherine Wambacher, you may remember from the beginning. I do indeed. Became suspicious when her husband, whom she knew as Walter Andrews, had been gone for extended periods of time. And during one of those extended periods of time, that was when he murdered and married Nina Deloney. Okay.
