The Lover in the Attic
Is now available.
One of the strangest love triangles in history involved a wealthy housewife, her oblivious husband, and a secret attic-dwelling lover who lived above them for nearly a decade?
Sounds like the setup for a bad sitcom, right?
Well, buckle up, because this is a real story—one filled with scandal, deception, and a murder that no one could quite explain.
In this episode, we’re diving into the bizarre case of Dolly Oesterreich, a woman who found the ultimate life hack for keeping her side piece close—by stashing him in the attic like an old box of Christmas decorations.
But as you can probably guess, things didn’t stay quiet.... Eventually, jealousy, tension, and bad decisions led to one of the most shocking true crime cases of the 1920s.
So grab a friend, possiblya lover or 4...., get comfortable, and join us as we unravel the jaw-dropping, almost unbelievable tale of The Lover in the Attic.
