      From Wikipedia: 'The story inspired the feature film The Bliss of Mrs. Blossom as well as two made-for-TV movies: The Man in the Attic, with Neil Patrick Harris, and "Lover in the Attic", with Molly Burnett. Oesterreich was also the subject of Investigation Discovery's series A Crime to Remember in 2017 (Season 4, Episode 6, "Guess Who?"). '

      I’m going out on a limb here but it didn’t appear that there were any children. Perhaps she couldn’t conceive and that made these relationships easier. For everyone. And thus these men had found a woman who enjoyed easy sex without worries which may have been rare. And the men didn’t want to lose that.

He didnt solve the problem but cover up the problem. Dolly simply look for rich spineless men to exploit but love real men. She married for money not for love so she feel v unfulfilled. Plotted how to get otto. Otto is one handsome dude.
