The Forgotten Files — Episode One: The Murder of Louise Beattie (1911) [HISTORICAL TRUE CRIME]
Virginia, 1911.
On a lonely Virginia road, wealthy young Henry Clay Beattie Jr. claimed a masked stranger stopped his automobile and shot his wife, Louise Owen Beattie.
But investigators quickly began looking beyond Henry's story — and what they uncovered would expose a tangled relationship with Beulah Binford, a young woman Henry had been seeing.
As the investigation unfolded, questions about motive, money, betrayal, and murder began to surface. What really happened on that Virginia road? And how much of Henry Beattie's story was a lie?
Shawna and David open the first Forgotten File and take you inside a case that shocked Virginia more than a century ago — a case of a wealthy husband, a troubled marriage, a forbidden relationship, and a deadly plan.
The Forgotten Files is a biweekly Saturday mini-series within Til TRUTH Do Us Part, exploring historical true-crime cases — solved and unsolved — that deserve to be remembered.
Some files were never truly closed.
They were simply forgotten.
