Who are the Kissel brothers and what led to their downfall?
Kissel scammed banks, investors, neighbors. A year later, just days before he was about to plead guilty, Kissel was found brutally murdered. American expatriate Nancy Ann Kissel was convicted of the murder of her husband, 40-year-old investment banker Robert Peter Kissel. It was the question of was she or was she not an abused spouse. We know Nancy and Robert Kissel because of the milkshake murder. Two incredibly successful brothers, but suffering this same tragic fate.
Hey True Crime Besties, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialist League. Hey everybody, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly, with me, your true crime bestie, Annie Elise. Now, the case we're talking about today, I don't want to say, hmm, I don't want to say that it's a throwback one, but I've never talked about it on this channel, on my podcast, on my YouTube channel, I've never talked about it anywhere. And it's one that I remember when I was first getting into true crime, I was really curious about, because I Es gibt Elemente von extremen, extremen Wachstum, Verletzungen, Verhandlungen, ich meine, Brüder kämpfen, all diese Sachen. Und wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, und ich denke, ich bin es, ich denke, es gab sogar einen Lifetime-Film darüber. Ich muss es überprüfen. Ich bin ziemlich positiv, dass es da war. Aber anyway.
It was one that always just like piqued my curiosity because it had all of the elements of just insanity and also kind of like making yourself question like, who would ever do this when you literally have the entire world at your fingertips, the means to do anything you want in the world. And it's just wild. I feel like some of those are... Er hat Geld verdient. Das war etwas, das er nicht kontrollieren konnte. Weil sie nicht überleben wird.
So, I know I was getting a little bit ahead of myself there.
I apologize for that. But let me just rewind and take us all back to more of our time, like of our youth, our childhood, our teenage years. Because if you ever grew up with either a sibling, maybe a cousin, or even somebody who was just close in age to you and you were with all the time, You probably know what I'm talking about when I say that sometimes there was an element of rivalry, right? Not just sibling rivalry, but just even with your peers, where it's who's going to race to the finish line and get there first. I know with my son and my daughter, it's always, you know, me first, me first, this and that. And there's just like, you know, a little bit of healthy competition. And it's kind of natural, especially when you're younger, whether it's your sibling, your best friend or your cousin or whomever it is. It seems like that's something that everybody goes through a little bit in their childhood, but the common thread in all of it is that it's never, never ending. You know, you grow up, you grow out of it, and you kind of move on from that.
Although sometimes when you get older, if you're somebody where those little games don't stop, they could sort of shift a little bit. Where maybe all of a sudden it's not about who can run to the end of the block the fastest or who is the first to call shotgun and sit in the front seat, but it's more on a larger scale. You know, who's doing better in life, who got into the better college, who has the bigger house, who earns the most money, whose Instagram has the most followers or shows the most picture-perfect family. Those kinds of things, where you're constantly comparing yourself to that close person in your life. Now like I said, obviously this isn't how it works for everyone. Not all family or close friend relationships are full of rivalry or any sort of competition. Some people really do just get along with their siblings and their close friends. But so far as Andrew and Robert Kissel were concerned, their whole relationship really was about competition and truly about trying to outdo one another.
