welcome everyone Adam the woo here hope
0:28
you guys are having a good Sunday doing
0:29
a little Sunday
0:32
Tian here in Aniston
0:34
Alabama at this Cemetery very well-kept
0:37
nice Cemetery I tried hunting down the
0:41
grave of who I just showed you Frank
0:44
hilly I'm going tell you who Mr Frank
0:46
hilly is momentarily my dad was actually
0:49
a minister here in the town of Anison
0:52
Alabama around 1972 1973 then he left
0:57
and came back to preach at another
0:58
church 19 74
1:02
1975 and in
1:04
1975 there was a little bit of an event
1:07
that happened which later on people
1:09
realized what kind of notoriety and what
1:13
kind of historically
1:16
demented actually happened in 1975 I was
1:20
born in 1974 in Tupelo Mississippi I
1:22
moved here shortly after that lived here
1:25
only about a year so I was actually a
1:27
very small child and infant if you will
1:31
so I do not remember anything about
1:34
andison and definitely about this
1:36
Cemetery I don't I've never actually
1:38
been to the cemetery I have been
1:39
trouncing around looking for Mr Hilly's
1:43
grave very difficult to find however
1:47
because all of the Grave Stones look the
1:52
same they're the same type of layouts
1:55
you can see so finding one particular
1:58
grave in this immense
2:02
Cemetery was
2:04
actually very difficult the topic of
2:07
today's Vlog we're going to title this
2:11
the Black Widow of Aniston if you just
2:14
Google that you'll discover what I'm
2:17
talking about and I'm going to segue
2:19
this right before the intro by showing
2:21
you this statue dedicated to
2:25
Motherhood a woman holding a child the
2:28
joy and the bless Ing and the
2:31
wonderfulness of motherhood
2:35
Universal
2:44
motherhood but there are a few
2:44
mothers who are not kind-hearted and
2:46
that's what the discussion of today's
2:49
Vlog is they're very rare but one of
2:52
those very rare people resided here in
2:57
Anderson I'm talking about Marie
3:01
hilly the Black Widow of
3:04
Aniston Black Widow of Aniston has to do
3:08
the poisoning of her husband Frank hilly
3:12
right over there Anison is also known
3:14
for other poisonous things other than
3:17
spiders and mothers that are not dressed
3:21
in white but are actually coated in
3:24
black their hearts are dark and
3:27
black Anison is known because a
3:30
corporation a few years ago actually was
3:33
sued for $70
3:36
million for actually putting chemicals
3:39
accidentally into the water system of
3:42
Anison into the rivers and into the soil
3:46
of Anison so a few people have gotten
3:47
sick I think maybe even a few people
3:48
have died but this Vlog is not about
3:51
that Corporation or that type of
3:54
poisoning here in Anison I'm referring
3:58
to the poisoning of Marie hilly married
4:00
to Frank hilly mother of Mike and Carol
4:04
hilly who went to one of my father's
4:08
churches and my mom actually has told me
4:11
stories of when they were here when I
4:14
was a small child or maybe before I was
4:15
even born when they knew them that she
4:18
actually ate dinner over at her house
4:22
why is that frightening because she
4:25
poisoned her daughter supposedly her
4:28
mother and her mother mother-in-law but
4:31
definitely was convicted for the murder
4:34
of Frank hilly her husband who's buried
4:38
right down
4:40
there by peppering in a little bit of
4:43
rat poison slowly into the food so you
4:47
can imagine my mother's concern by
4:50
eating rat poison even though she
4:53
probably was not poison the way the rat
4:56
poisoning and poisoning of anyone works
4:57
you don't just like you don't die
4:59
immediately it has to be something
5:01
become untraceable it has to be placed
5:03
in food over and over and over and over
5:05
and over and over for a long period of
5:07
time and the only person that would be
5:09
able to do that would be a family member
5:12
or somebody very close to
5:16
you so let's continue whoa you hear that
5:21
noise you know what that sound is
5:24
hus that's a
5:26
Gaslight not the shrieking eels from
5:28
Princess Bride but a gas light my gas
5:31
light has come
5:42
on SO in 1975 Frank hilly went to the
5:42
doctor went to the hospital said I have
5:44
some stomach pains I have some issues
5:46
they figured he had some sort of a liver
5:48
disease which he did they figured it was
5:50
caused by somewhat natural causes that
5:53
was in May I believe of
5:55
1975 by the end of May May 25th or 26th
5:59
could be incorrect in this all these
6:01
facts I wouldn't even call them facts
6:03
it's just stuff I've read online stuff
6:05
my parents have told me stuff other
6:07
people have told me just things I've
6:09
learned over the years and stuff I've
6:11
read online the last couple days to
6:13
research this Vlog so definitely fact
6:15
checked me and what I'm saying but I
6:17
think May 25th 26th of
6:20
1975 Frank hilly less than a month after
6:22
being admitted for the stomach pains
6:25
passed
6:26
away the doctors said we want to perform
6:28
an autopsy they went to Marie hilly his
6:31
wife who later was discovered to have
6:33
poisoned her husband she said hey that's
6:36
okay no problem do the autopsy nothing
6:39
no foul play was discovered or figured
6:43
out so all was written off all was
6:45
thought okay Frank is gone it's a very
6:48
sad day things happen life
6:52
continues and life just went on at a
6:54
normal Pace
6:56
until 4 years later she put out oh I
7:00
will add this in Frank hilly had a
7:03
25,000 or $30,000 life insurance claim
7:08
that when he died Marie got that money
7:11
so $30,000 richer if you will even
7:14
though $30,000 is not a lot of money
7:17
probably I guess in that day it was
7:19
actually a little bit more money than it
7:21
is now but it's still not an exorbitant
7:23
amount of money 3 or 4 years later Marie
7:27
took out a large Insurance pocket policy
7:29
on her daughter Carol so Carol soon
7:33
after this insurance policy was actually
7:36
brought up and paid for you know paid
7:39
monthly however the insurance thing
7:41
works Carol started actually getting
7:43
some of the same stomach pain she was
7:45
admitted the doctors thought let's do
7:48
some tests they discovered there's
7:50
Frank's grave right there we're passing
7:52
it because I want to show you another
7:54
grave in a minute so Carol the daughter
8:00
had some test run on and they discovered
8:02
through fingernails and hair follicles
8:05
that she actually had traces of poison
8:09
in her body so they started putting two
8:11
and two together and they thought how
8:12
does she how is she poisoned how did she
8:14
get this poison so they went back to
8:17
Frank's grave they dug up the casket and
8:21
let me do a little quick quick segue
8:24
here and speaking of caskets how often
8:26
do you
8:27
see caskets on the side of the road in a
8:38
cemetery so they dug up Frank's
8:38
grave they did a whole autopsy it's
8:41
interesting that even after four years
8:42
of being dead and being buried that you
8:45
can be dug up and they can actually
8:46
figure out that you were poisoned they
8:49
figured out that he actually had traces
8:51
of poison in his body they did a whole
8:54
investigation and they arrested Marie
8:57
hilly sent her to prison for life she
9:01
got one life sentence in 20
9:04
years on top of the life sentence for
9:06
killing her husband 20 years for
9:08
attempting to kill her daughter
9:12
so I'm a little flabbergasted by this
9:16
that is that's incredible I've been to a
9:18
lot of cemeteries and I've never
9:20
seen caskets just sitting
9:23
there so she's in prison for a little
9:26
while for a while and back in the day
9:29
they met might still do this but they
9:30
had a Furlow system where if you had
9:32
good behavior they would let you out for
9:33
a weekend even though you were a
9:35
convicted
9:36
murderer so they let Marie hilly go
9:40
which is very interesting she escaped
9:42
she was gone 3 years on the lamb all
9:46
across the country she went to Florida
9:48
she married another guy down in Florida
9:51
they had a massive Manhunt there were
9:54
posters pictures of course the internet
9:56
was not around there so they couldn't do
9:57
a whole internet search but they hunted
10:00
this woman
10:02
down you know one thing I noticed too
10:04
are these
10:05
flowers the flowers must be discarded
10:09
normally I guess after a certain amount
10:11
of time the cemetery throws the flowers
10:14
away it's actually a very beautiful
10:16
Cemetery I wonder what the policy is on
10:19
flowers
10:32
down in Florida Marie hilly married met
10:32
a man and married a man by the name of
10:34
John Hannon h n I think it is changed
10:39
her name to Robbie Hannon no one was the
10:43
wiser they all thought that Marie hilly
10:46
had disappeared forever Robbie Hannon
10:48
was this new woman married to John
10:50
Hannon they were happy for a while and
10:52
then she got a little rambunctious a
10:55
little cold feet if you will in the
10:57
marriage and said I need to leave for a
11:00
while she went to another state they
11:01
actually lived up in New Hampshire she
11:03
moved from Florida up to the New England
11:05
states I think New Hampshire or maybe
11:06
the Boston Massachusetts area could be
11:09
incorrect in that but I know it was a
11:11
New England State so she left John she
11:14
went out to Texas called him shortly
11:17
after that as an alias and AKA that she
11:21
made up Terry Martin the third
11:26
inclination of this woman the black
11:29
Widow changed her name three times her
11:31
appearance three times called her second
11:34
husband who she had not poisoned the
11:37
first guy who I showed you the grave of
11:40
buried over here in Aniston she marries
11:43
a guy in Florida running from the law
11:47
leaves him goes to Texas calls that
11:49
husband and
11:51
says that she has died and he believes
11:55
her because when she's calling him she
11:58
says that she she's the twin sister of
12:01
that second husband oh what a tangled
12:04
web we
12:06
weave very interesting subject and he
12:10
believes her so as time goes on she
12:14
decides that she misses the second
12:15
husband goes back to him as the twin
12:21
quote unquote twin sister Terry Martin
12:25
goes back to goes back to Mr Hannon John
12:27
Hannon and convinces him that she is not
12:31
the original wife that he married he
12:34
knows nothing about the poisoning of the
12:36
first
12:37
gentlemen so very interesting this is a
12:40
very interesting tale I hope I'm
12:42
correctly giving you all the information
12:44
I encourage you to look up things on
12:46
social networks why am I saying social
12:48
networks not social networks you can get
12:49
a hold of me on social networks and you
12:51
can probably find some of this
12:52
information on social networks there's
12:54
been a lot of blogs there's been some
12:56
Unsolved Mysteries about this particular
12:59
subject look a lot of that stuff up
13:02
because I do not want you relying 100%
13:04
on what I'm telling you because I am not
13:06
a historian I am not 100% factual I'm
13:09
just going off what people have told me
13:11
what my parents have told me what
13:12
friends have told me what I've read
13:14
online information you guys share with
13:16
me and a lot of things I've written on
13:19
rid read or rid getting getting rid of
13:22
reading on the internet I'm very
13:25
confused this is a very flabbergasting
13:27
subject and it really hits home because
13:30
it happened in Aniston which is where I
13:32
live for one year in Anison Alabama I
13:36
need to really
13:37
stop this car not stop the Vlog because
13:40
I have one more grave to show you I have
13:44
found the grave of Marie hilly the Black
13:49
Widow of andison let me just get out
14:04
there was actually a movie back in the
14:04
early 90s I think starring Judith Light
14:08
and you might know her from who's the
14:09
boss she was the mom and who's the boss
14:12
she actually played Marie hilly in that
14:17
movie and let me tell you in that TV
14:19
movie she showed them who's the boss she
14:23
took care of everyone just like she did
14:26
in life you got to wonder what the
14:29
mentality of someone like that is now I
14:32
know in the van when I was driving
14:35
around the cemetery looking for this
14:37
other grave I might have confused you
14:39
because I was rambling on a little bit
14:41
these are unedited the beauty of that is
14:43
you can actually hear the excitement of
14:47
where I am and the interest of where I
14:49
am in my voice but you can also pick up
14:52
on the fact that I get very Tongue Tied
14:55
but I still go with it the Vlog must go
14:58
on we will not hit stop
15:01
until this factual part has been
15:05
discovered so Marie hilly the Black
15:08
Widow of Aniston where else does the
15:10
story go where else does the story
15:13
continue she ends up after going back to
15:17
her husband as the twin she is finally
15:21
discovered goes back to prison for
15:24
killing Frank
15:27
hilly poisoning the daughter supposedly
15:31
poisoning the mom and her mother and her
15:35
mother-in-law there's a whole trail of
15:38
poisoning goes back to prison remember
15:41
that Furlow system I was telling you
15:43
about a second time in
15:47
1987 after spending a lot of time in the
15:50
women's penitentiary in watka Alabama
15:53
not far from here and remember John
15:56
Hannon the guy I told you about through
15:58
all the trial system of her secondary
16:02
conviction he moved from up north in the
16:05
New England states here to Aniston ended
16:09
up taking a job at a hotel residing at
16:12
the hotel he stood by his wife her
16:16
second husband John Hannon I believe
16:18
that's his name lived in Aniston even
16:22
after the death of the Black Widow they
16:26
let her out of prison a second time
16:28
don't ask me why
16:29
a convicted killer was set free and she
16:33
escaped again this time she was only
16:35
gone I think for a few weeks she was
16:37
caught here in Anderson on a very cold
16:40
wet day very similar to this one the
16:43
police found her she was suffering from
16:45
hypothermia and she died and the husband
16:49
very interesting the husband the second
16:51
husband who was not poison who still
16:53
lived here in Anison he stood by here
16:57
came to her funeral and the interesting
16:59
thing is shortly after that the hotel he
17:03
lived at and worked at there was a
17:04
scuffle that broke out even after the
17:07
Black Widow his wife died he was
17:10
actually murdered at the hotel so her
17:13
black widow web of
17:17
insanity and craziness if you will did
17:20
not end with her death so you're
17:23
probably asking where is this woman
17:27
buried the black
17:29
Widow of
17:31
Aniston somewhere in this
17:40
area is where Marie hilly is
17:40
buried like I said they all look very
17:43
similar to each
17:45
other ah here it is Marie F hilly buried
17:51
right here and who she buried next to sh
18:02
Frank
18:02
hilly her first husband that she
18:06
murdered buried right next to
18:10
him that's something to think about and
18:13
very
18:16
bizarre things that make you
18:19
go H I'll see you guys later bye
