Because, you know, here's this musical floozy, as they would think, and God knows what these people get up to.

And she's probably run off with somebody or she's gone somewhere and she probably hasn't really disappeared.

And then it was down to the Musical Ladies Guild to actually start the investigation.

They hired a private investigator.

So nobody really cared that she had disappeared.

The media only started to care once her body had been

or parts of her body had been uncovered.

Yeah, yeah, it is.

Again, this speaks to this really damaging lie that has always been put out about Belle Elmore by Filson Young and others, which is, oh, nobody liked Belle Elmore.

You know, she was just a rotten piece of work.

She was just, you know, disgusting, useless, nasty woman.

She had no friends.

That's completely untrue.

The women of the Musical Ladies Guild fought for her.

They adored her.

They loved her.

They were her friends.

And they took...

Every aspect of this case, to the furthest point it could go.

I mean, they didn't even let it rest after the trial.
