True Crime Story: Newport Beach Yacht Murders
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- In 1947, the peaceful coastal city of Newport Beach, California was thrusted into the national spotlight when a wealthy couple was blown up on their yacht in Newport Bay. Beulah Louise Overell and her fiancé George Gollum were accused of murdering Beulah Louise’s parents by rigging their luxury yacht with dynamite. At the time, the 19-week Overell-Gollum criminal trial was the longest in United States history and love notes exchanged between the two while in prison helped sway the public - and the jury - on their side.
In this video, I recap the Newport Beach Yacht Murders story and find out what happened to Beulah Louise Overell and George Rector Gollum following their sensational criminal trial.

This is my first attempt at a local true crime story, so let me know if I left anything out! Thanks for watching and remember to hit those like & subscribe buttons! 😃👍
I loved it....you should do one exposing the wrongful convictions of Robert Pape and Cristian Smith of Palm Springs.
The lady you see next to Beulah during the trial and in newspapers is my great great aunt Reba crank. She was the first female deputy sheriff in Orange County. They name another lady as being the first but I have proof that Reba was the first. I have tons of the news clippings. She was my grandmas favorite aunt.
Joycelyn Rasted oh wow! Thank you for sharing, this is very interesting. And yes, OCSD claims that a woman named Alice Chandler was the first female Orange County Deputy Sheriff. I’d love to research your claim further. Feel free to email me: me@kylefrager.com.
Well, this story has it all. Parricide, vehicular mayhem, a bomb from a cartoon, bumbling police, probable murderers going free, a perp marrying a cop, a detour into the circus and grand theft auto followed up by a science PhD, and acute alcoholism.
Call me Popsie, baby.
So your positive outcome is that a couple who bought dynamite and got away with murder made it so the freedom to purchase dynamite was taken away form everyone who never committed murder... fabulous.
amommamust 🤨🤔 hmmm. Maybe we need to pass a law protecting our right to keep and bear dynamite. 🧨 Thanks for watching!
@@ExploreAlways We already did. The spirit of the second amendment, as made clear in the Federalist Papers, is that the people should be well enough armed to overthrow a government gone rogue. Remember, those gentlemen had just won a revolution. That means dynamite, Apache helicopters, nukes... whatever they get, we get.
Whoa. My family has a house in Newport/Balboa and about 10 years ago, one of our elderly neighbors mentioned something about a "boat explosion scandal" that happened long ago. Always thought she was full of it...
Awesome episode, I have never heard of that story and loved the Wile E. Coyote reference.
Great Story and presentation !
As always... entertaining and informative...HOWEVER... I would have preferred you acting the couple out too... LOL
Karma. Great video, Kyle. Entertaining as always!
Your videos are so great, you are a "local boy done good!"
Thanks for watching!!
crazy that this happened in the 40s, seems like it would be from the 80s
Voidzy totally!! Thanks for watching!
Thank you forthis video
Thanks for watching!
great idea, love the recent content
Really interesting and tragic story I've never heard of before. What strikes me the most is how such an event can be front-page news, with the people involved becoming household names, and now ~70 years later it's all but forgotten.
That’s my local beach... never heard it
Good video. As I once lived on Beulah Dr. in LaCañada, the story behind the street name would have been a good addition. Street named after mom by Senator Flint? What a family!
Fascinating! I didn't realize they named a street after her!!! Thanks for watching.
If I needed explosives, I would not tell my daughter to get them for me. I used to wish I could found a railroad,but I knew you need to build bridges and blast tunnels. Trusting employees not to kill each other is a problem for businesses of any kind and it's a bigger problem for railroads.
So who murder the parents?
My bet is still on Beulah Louise and George Gollum. Thanks to shabby 1940s CSI techniques, I believe they got away with murder.
Law enforcement never punished them, but the pain of death did.
I kind of feel for Beulah. Ssems like she feel under the spell of a brilliant psychopath--who obviously never suffered for it--and drank herself to death in self-punishment. She may have been evil, but it seems she had a conscience.
