#306 Otto In The Attic

It was August 22, 1922, in Los Angeles, and German immigrant Fred Oesterreich was in the middle of a heated argument with his wife, Walburga “Dolly” Oesterreich. Without warning, when Fred turns around he’s face to face with a man he knew a decade ago, back in Milwaukee, and he’s holding two pistols. Fred didn’t hear the man come in, and most importantly, why was he here in the first place!?  Check out Patreon and our other shows!: Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee Strange & Unexplained True Crime Guys YouTube EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify OhMyGaia.com Code: Crimepine Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources: Book: “The Most Bizarre True Crime Stories Ever Told” by Jack Rosewood https://strangeco.blogspot.com/2013/12/ottos-in-attic-or-hell-dolly.html https://historic-horrors.com/2025/05/22/the-man-in-the-attic-a-forgotten-crime-of-passion-from-los-angeles-roaring-twenties/ https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/5t1qis/til_an_la_woman_hid_her_lover_in_the_attic_for/ https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-married-woman-who-kept-her-lover-in-the-attic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGu6ZdWM2Wg&t=581s

A man changes his legal name to "Literally Anybody Else" just so he can make a point on election ballots. Spoiler alert, his real name is Dustin :/ .....ANYWAY, another man, coincidentally in Florida, got a felony charge for having consensual sex in a porta-potty. I mean, he WAS incarcerated at the time. Then we round it out with a good ole heartbreaking accidental homicide, seriously, we ended this one on a sad note...sorry guys.    Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee Strange & Unexplained True Crime Guys YouTube EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify OhMyGaia.com Code: Crimepine Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources: https://www.keranews.org/elections-2026/2026-03-09/literally-anybody-else-is-on-the-ballot-for-north-richland-hills-mayor https://www.sebastiandaily.com/crime/indian-river-county-inmate-faces-escape-charge-after-leaving-jail-barbecue-for-sex-in-portable-toilet-90403/ https://abcnews.com/GMA/News/teen-charged-teachers-death-prank-wrong-speaks/story?id=130962159

We got another double header! This time its a coupl'a cannibals! *Incase you didn't catch the word "Cannibals" being used over and over again...this one is explicit, to say the least. :) For our appetizer, we head back to July 2008, when Vince Li gruesomely murdered a fellow Canadian bus passenger named Tim McLean. Li didn’t stop at murder, he stabbed, beheaded, and even ate parts of McLean’s body. The police eventually arrested him after an hours-long standoff. But WHYYYY!!!???? Who was Vince Li? Why did he kill Tim McLean? And why did he eat him!? Then for the main course, we talk one of the most infamous cannibals to date, Issei Sagawa. A Japanese man claiming to have always had a fascination with human flesh. At the age of 35 he finally acts on it, killing a dutch woman that he had befriended, just so could eat her! Oh and he never did any jail time. He lived a long life and died of old age. It was a paperwork error or something...you know how these things go... 0_0    Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee Strange & Unexplained True Crime Guys YouTube EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify OhMyGaia.com Code: Crimepine Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/issei-sagawa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issei_Sagawa https://murderpedia.org/male.S/s/sagawa-issei.htm https://allthatsinteresting.com/vince-li

This week we got a double feature! We kick things off with the death of 18-year-old, Anna Kepner. She was found wrapped in a blanket under a bed, surrounded by life jackets, on a cruise ship in November 2025, with very few clues as to what happened to her. Now, her teenage stepbrother has reportedly been arrested and charged….and for damn good reason if you ask us. Then we move on to another case involving a horrific incident that took place in 2019 on Labor Day in Logan, Ohio. 44-year-old photographer Victoria Schaefer was visiting Hawking Hill State Park to take photos. Schaefer had just finished and began walking back up the staircase to leave when there was an unforgettable cracking sound. Schaefer is in a heap on the staircase, not moving. Lying nearby is a large log that somehow "fell" from the cliff above.    Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee Strange & Unexplained True Crime Guys YouTube EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify OhMyGaia.com Code: Crimepine Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources: https://fb.watch/F9QVFZ_aPv/ https://www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-news/who-is-Jimmy-hudson-anna-kepners-stepbrother-charged-in-carnival-cruise-ship-death-case-article-153574502 https://www.usmagazine.com/crime-news/news/anna-kepners-stepbrother-arrested-amid-investigation-of-cruise-ship-death/ High School Prank Kills Mom of Four

Todd Sees was a Pennsylvania man who mysteriously disappeared in 2002 only to be found dead and emaciated, 39 hrs later. Its a case that gained notoriety due to its strange circumstances, mainly witnesses reporting UFOs, a boot found high in a tree, and no signs of foul play.

The Riker's Island Art Heist happened on March 1st 2003, when four prison guards had the brilliant idea to steal an original Salvadore Dali painting, although not his best work, but still, an original Dali, and replace it with an elementary copy. The story of how the painting got there in the first place is almost as good as the heist itself!    Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee Strange & Unexplained True Crime Guys YouTube EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify OhMyGaia.com Code: Crimepine Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources: https://hardcrackers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/B1E1DAC9-D8FC-4D23-8CA4-DAA67115BF75.jpeg Check out the Painting! here:https://hardcrackers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/B1E1DAC9-D8FC-4D23-8CA4-DAA67115BF75.jpeg https://hardcrackers.com/crucifixion-rikers-ysland/
