In regards to Nora's grave, let me tell you a little family story of mine. Back in the late 1880s, a family ancestor of mine, Emily, had gotten married, moved in with the husband, had a baby, but then died with her second baby. Emily's husband had her buried in a local graveyard with no stone because he couldn't afford one. Then he moved to another state, taking their one child.

Nora may not have a gravestone simply because her mother couldn't afford one, which makes sense since she was a single mother with four children in the 1890s.

To finish my family's tale, because I find it kind of hilarious myself, my GG-grandpa and some other family members didn't like that Emily had been buried in a graveyard that wasn't with the rest of the family. So one night, they snuck out of town, into the other graveyard, dug her up, carted her back to her hometown and re-buried her between her parents' graves. This was just a family legend... until 2019. My grandpa, aged 89 at the time, convinced the owners of that graveyard to inspect the area between her parents' graves. And yup, there was a body of a woman buried there, squeezed between her parents. My grandpa paid to provide Emily with a tombstone, and he contacted the outside-of-town graveyard to tell them that her plot of ground was empty. They inspected it, and found that yup, it was.

So crazy, weird things could happen with graves back in the day!

I'm surprised they actually looked into her disappearance and didn't just rule her as a runaway.

It's kind of strange that he had so much money to waste, for a rape/ murder. Imagine renting a house and furniture for a month, just to kill someone.

The rent collector dude was like "oh hell no I see where this is going I need someone here cause I'm not doing this alone" 😂😂

You mentioned how did she made the phone call with no power at the end. Land lines for a house phone run separately from the houses power. It has its own electricity. They did it that way in case of an emergency during a power outage. Before cordless phones they didnt plug into an outlet. So yes she could have made the call from a house with no power.

I think this is the first case I've heard were attorneys knew exactly who the killer was but couldn't find him

A case coming up on vintage: In a couple weeks it will be 20 years since a horrific tragedy. It’s a pretty famous case. Robert Fischer is on the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted list (among other things). I went to elementary school with his children that he brutally murdered, Brittney and Bobby Fischer. Killed along with their sweet mother, Mary. I was friends with Brittney and having you do a video on it would mean so much to me and I’m sure their family! It’s another one of those solved/unsolved cases. We know who did it, but he’s still on the run. I hope you look it up and possibly consider it. I love your videos. You always do an amazing job! You can tell that you do a lot of research, put a lot of effort into making them, and truly have so much empathy for the victims and their families! You’re absolutely one of my favorite true crime Youtubers!

Its little wonder that Nora's body got lost.  The city of San Francisco banned cemeteries in the city around 1912 and started moving the bodies to new cemeteries in Colma.  Not all the bodies made the move tho and caskets do turn up from time to time in people's yards, little girl in the glass faced casket in the 2000s. The little girl and move are all quite the story to look into, there are old gravestones that were used as building materials and can be seen in pathways and along a seawall.

If these pple used their intelligence in other fields with benefits for  humans we would certainly be driving flying cars by now

I'm puzzled as to how the rent collector entered the residence and didn't immediately smell a decomposing body. He didn't think anything was up until he noticed brightly colored clothing lying on the floor? Even if it had been winter time you would think there should have been a strong odor. . .Very interesting case, though.

I've read those "need young girl" signs are human trafficking. Its so scary for those that aren't aware of the scams. I've had like 2 interviews I've backed out of in the past few years because of how sketchy they seemed, plus some sketchy jobs. Its terrifying how predatory people can be for those just seeking employment, even if they ARE actual businesses.

It sounds like she called home from the store. It’s sad that she trusted the wrong person.

Old corded phones usually work in power cuts, so I’d imagine the really old phones would have worked without power as long as the phone line was linked up.

The Fullers Immigrated to san Francisco in late 1895, per 1900 Census. After Nora's Death her mother and younger 2 siblings went to England. Her stepfather worked for the Chronicle. Buried under her Birth Name.

I dunno why but these old crimes are more fascinating than any current ones. It's like , it was so simple for people to disappear back then for hundreds of years compare to today. I mean sure people disappear (on their own or forced) but with dna, ancestry labs, cameras and social medias, it's hard to hide out and not get someone suspicious. Back then you just moved a couple of states away, change your name and go about your life as if theres nothing to hide. I also like to google earth these old places to see what they are now. Nora's home is a strip/mini mall and her death place is either an empty lot or the home is still there just renumbered. Theres a 2209 and next to it is a 2213 where as across from it is a green wall with covered fence (construction?)

Such a crazy story!!
My dad does small painting/construction jobs. And a few years ago, he’s in his 50s, he got a random call about a job. No big deal, happens all the time. So he shoes up. And it’s like this horrible run down house, out in the country. Like no one had lived there in years! He walked around for a few minutes and got an eerie feeling, so he left as quick as he could. He never heard from those people again. We still wonder about that call, and what someone had planned. It’s so scary.

Pausing @7:05 to say there must have been something horrific in that marriage for her mother to divorce her stepfather back then!

Crazy they were able to piece together who he was all the way back then!

He was like a straight Gacy. 😢 the young victims walked into a trap with promise of a job.

"C.B.Hadlee flew to Mexico in the late 1880s". Take that Wright brothers!
