Who is Dolly and what is her story?
Hi friends, how are you today? My name is Bailey Sarian, and today is Monday, which means it's Murder, Mystery, and Makeup Monday. If you're new here, hi, my name is Bailey Sarian, and on Mondays, I sit down and I talk about a true crime story that's been heavy on my... and I do my makeup at the same time. So today's story, listen, we delve into like one of the strangest, most twisted stories of the 20th century. A tale that begins on a quiet farm, winds through secret lovers and ends with a murder that will leave you questioning the very essence of love, loyalty, and obsession. So our story begins over a hundred years ago with a girl named Valbuga Corchel. Though most would come to know her, they would call her Dolly, okay? And thank God, because Valbuga was like, it's a hard one for me. So she goes by Dolly. She's born in Germany in 1880. And Dolly's family soon left for the promise of America, the idea of America, where they settled on a modest farm in the rural Midwest. So little Dolly grew up on a quiet farm where she learned early on
That life in the country could be unforgiving, isolated, and lonely. And perhaps in isolation, Dolly began dreaming of a different life. And you know, when I was reading this, you know what it reminded me of? Did you see the movie Pearl? You see Pearl? It was giving Pearl. Where Pearl's like, mama always told me I'm gonna be a real big star. You know? Did you see Pearl? Okay. That's what it was giving me. In her early twenties, Dolly left the farm and found what she thought was an escape. A man named Fred Osterich. Fred was a wealthy, respected businessman. And he was also like the owner of a successful apron factory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. So the two meet, they fell in love, they got married.
on the surface it seemed like dolly had found her perfect match he was wealthy he was well connected he was kind of charming, I hear. It was like, he wasn't that charming, he was kind of charming. But life inside the ostrich home was a different story. Fred, Mr. Fred, he loved drinking whiskey, which made him pretty gruff and unpredictable. And also, I guess it left Dolly sexually unsatisfied. I mean, she had her own desires. So there were rumors going around town that hinted that Dolly kept like a line of lovers to escape the unhappiness that she felt within the home. I'm not judging, but rumor had it she had like a lot of lovers. Good for her, but you know. She's married, so. But in 1913, Dolly's life took a fateful turn. So it was a quiet day in 1913.
How did Dolly's affair with Otto begin?
Dolly, home alone, asked Fred, on the phone, to send over one of his men to fix her sewing machine. It was broken and she needed some help with the repairs, you know? so that someone was Otto Sandhuber. And he was said to be a very like shy, lanky 17 year old with a soft spoken demeanor and downcast eyes. Now to most, Otto would be unremarkable, hardly noticeable. But Dolly saw him differently. When Otto arrived, he didn't just find a broken sewing machine. No, I think she would have done this for anyone who was going to show up. It just happened to be Otto, you know? But when she answered the door, she was wearing nothing but a silk robe and stockings. She's like, hello. So yeah, imagine young man, 17, face to face with like a wealthy woman in such a state. She's like, hello.
