      Isn't it amazing how people try to make a "mystery" out of nothing ? The case here about Mary, the woman found dead inside the walls of her house is a good example. That "friend" who thinks that Mary was murdered must be a Soap Opera Queen for sure. Why would someone take an old woman into her attic to murder her when they had the whole house to do it ? If they murdered her beforehand, then why would someone carry a dead old woman up into an an attic just to dump her ? And what murderer would come up with the idea of pulling up a floorboard to throw the body down between the walls ? It seems that some people have such empty and meaningless lives that they must invent "mysteries" that aren't there just to make their life worth living. ... jkulik919@gmail.com

    A story similar to Freddie Mack's happened about 30 years ago, near where I used to live.
    By the local river, a middle-aged couple bought a little plot of land and turned it into a smallholding, filling it with goats, chickens, ducks, sheep, 2 cats and 2 dogs. They always seemed such happy and friendly people, with ready smiles and eager to chat whenever we used to stop and buy eggs from their roadside stall. Indeed, their life appeared so idyllic.
    However, after about 2 years, the wife suddenly ran off with a customer. It was a shock to everyone. Nobody suspected she'd been having an affair.
    Very shortly afterwards, the little roadside stall was no longer restocked and some of the animals were showing signs of distress. The police were contacted and they found what was left of the husband's body in the process of being eaten by his 2 dogs and cats. There was a gun beside his remains, the police declaring it a suicide.
    So very sad; he was such a nice man. I feel equally sorry for the police who found him too. What an awful scene to come upon.

  • @Slayerjane61
    @Slayerjane61 5 років тому +138

    Thank you for putting this collection together. I live in Houston but had never heard any of these stories except for the one about Mary Ceruti. That mystery had intrigued me since I first read about it just after the body had been found in her home, so I had periodically searched for updated information. I grew up near the Houston Heights where her home was located. That area was run down in the '70's when I was a teenager but had many beautiful turn-of-the-century homes, and I dreamed of living there one day. The area became in demand later since it's so convenient to downtown, and "yuppies" began buying and renovating the old homes. In the 2000's more modern town home complexes were replacing some of the cottages like Mary's and changing the atmosphere of the historic neighborhood--sad, but economically smart, too. One thing you didn't mention is that Mary supposedly had broken her hip some months prior to her disappearance, and though healed, it was still weak. The ceilings in those bungalows are high (circa 1900 architecture) so If she did indeed fall through the rotten floorboard into the space between the walls, she likely could not have climbed out, being short, and having an injured hip joint. When the full magnitude of what happened to her is contemplated, this is a horror story I don't like to dwell on!

    • @megaroo6110
      @megaroo6110 5 років тому +4

      I was thinking that more of the floor boards were probably missing at the time she fell through and then when the house was remodeled someone probably replaced several of the floor boards not thinking to look down between the walls. Which is creepy when you think about it because someone probably went into the attic and thought to themselves ‘ oh, I better fix that hole, someone could fall through that’. Obviously she didn’t fall through a space the size of one missing floor board.

Their is a night bike ride the 2nd sat of the month ( aprox 1500 ppl participate) the location / amount of historical buildings / charm and neighbor events is outstanding ! I love living in the heights... this will give you an idea about the area and property value... if her house were sold today it would have sold at the same auction for double the amount it did back then ( as a repo)

      All dogs will eat their owners if given the chance. That's why fire departments don't have Dalmations with them on fire calls anymore. There was a problem with the dogs eating the fire victims, dead or alive. Plus this guy had aggressive dogs that have less control of their primal instincts for hunting and attacking. Not the dog's fault at all.

    That Mary story kinda bugs me, because it seems like it would definitely be her, but I have to agree with the neighbor in that it seems like there's no way a body could just go down a space like that on it's own. At least not without way more damage to the surrounding floor. Maybe she was a very small woman but it just doesn't feel like it adds up.

      I'd say it was just coincidental. I live around this area and have an attic floor board that is the same way. I'd say she fell through it and was lodged so tight between the two walls , she couldn't breath. This suffocating.

      @@WiIdbiII My issue isn't the space between the walls, it's the hole in the floor. If the picture in the video is her attic floor, no way a person, even a frail old lady fits through there. Though it's possible that the picture is deceiving and the hole is bigger than it looks or there is damage to the surrounding boards you can't make out. If you have the same type of floor boards, could you give some sort of measurement about how wide it is? Could put some minds at ease and help your case.

      @@thecorbohole3637 I've been in the metal building construction industry for over thirty years. I've worked on house remodels also. Sometimes instead of a standard wall consisting of studs, base board and sheet rock on both sides , I've seen where someone might have double walls . Most of the time I never questioned why , but sometimes it was evident that an additional room was added to an older small house. In the case of my house, the floor board I talk about is near an exterior wall which has a lot of larger water pipes running through that side. We just had duct work done here this year. The large duct which had been on the floor for over forty years always prevented any one in my house from stepping on that floor board. Our new ducts are suspended from the roof in the attic. So when I stepped on that area for the first time ever I was very surprised to feel it tilt beneath my feet. I will agree that this is an interesting case ( beings I'm a huge fan of the show forensic files) , but you know it's really true, real life is always stranger than fiction.

    East Tx here. I've heard of a few of these. The Big Thicket part of deep east Tx is full of strange stories. During the Civil War many vanished into the Big Thicket so they would not have to choose sides. They lived undisturbed for decades. As development has encroached, skeletons and other evidence is occasionally found. Years ago a civil war era skeleton was found high up in an old oak tree. Theory was that in the days cougars still roamed the Big Thicket, one killed a man and stashed his body in a tree for later consumption.

      I agree! It might be of interest for you, to write an article about it and your relationship with the event,for Texas Monthly, or another big magazine. I feel strongly that these events should always be memorialized and given respect, partly to prevent them from happening again, but also to give young people understanding of history that is so personal, and important. I grew up in the Bay Area of San Francisco, in the 1960s, and every year there was a memorial for the 1906 earthquake. When I was young, there were still survivors! They would always be featured on the news and tell their stories every year. It gave me an intense, personal interest in history that has never faded. It made my connection to where I lived strong. I have been in Texas for 35 years, and feel the same about my home here. I found I have relatives here from the 1800s! It gives you such a sense of belonging. I hope you do write about it. Every perspective is important.

      Or the Jasper dragging of Byrd, or the hate crime in Kilgore or Kileen, How about the lady doing time because she ran an assisted living out of her home and the residents were being OD'd on narcotics and burried in the back yard so she could continue to collect their pension payments...or the illegals in faux walls in a couple houses in Houston where the cartels are trafficking.... NASA lady drove from Kemah to Florida with an adult diapers to hurt her boyfriend's wife, the woman that claims God told her to kill her children...much much more in Texas

      Did you hear of the "Slave Ranch" in Kerrville, Texas? They were a whole group pretending to help people get into the country from Mexico and then literally enslaving them to work for their ranch and business. I think it was in the 80s. Kerrville was like the Bible Capitol then, but there were terrible things going on there...
      When I worked a short stint (thank god) for an employment firm, the biggest law firms would hire these girls as file clerks who had just come over from Mexico. They hired very bright young girls and train them to be paralegals and law clerks but paid them 2 dollars an hour. Of course they were also used as entertainment for the lawyers too. These girls were sometimes the only ones speaking english and supporting the whole family. They were exploited in every possible way. By the most reputable firms. I found out by accident when a girl I had sent to get a job at one of our big clients broke down and told me what was really going on. I was young and very naive. I didn't know then that people could do those things. I raised hell but my employer knew and didn't care. I left. I've heard all the crap talked about immigrants since I moved here, and in 30 years I've learned that if jesus christ himself walked across the border, the only thing people would see is his skin color and he'd be lucky to get a job cutting grass. There are good people and bad people everywhere, but when people dump all the ills of society onto one group, they're hiding real evil of their own...

    I remember when the Mary ladies body was found. I though about how tragic is was. To see the place you loved be over run by high rises and have your life upended. I never heard whether it was accident( which is mentioned here) or murder. I had a weird feeling it was murder because of her being outspoken on what was happening to the area. I guess we may never know for sure.

      She was definitely murdered by a real estate developer. Since the police are part of the city government controlled by rich developers, the truth will be covered up.
