At first glance, Walburga “Dolly” Oesterreich was the picture of a perfect 1920s housewife—elegant, sociable, and impeccably dressed. Married to Fred Oesterreich, a wealthy apron manufacturer in Milwaukee and later Los Angeles, she seemed to have it all. But beneath the satin and social charm, Dolly harbored a scandalous secret.
Los Angeles, 1922.
Gunshots rang out from the Oesterreich home. When police arrived, Fred was dead—shot three times. Dolly was found locked in a closet, unharmed, claiming a robbery gone wrong. But the truth was far more disturbing.
Fred hadn’t been killed by a burglar. He was murdered by Dolly’s secret lover—sixteen years her junior—a man who had been living in their attic for nearly a decade.
This is the twisted tale of Walburga “Dolly” Oesterreich:. Obsession, Sex and a Secret Lover.
