2:18 in the

2:19 background and the Sun is now Rising

2:23 underneath this is

2:25 that is that a

2:27 petunia I've been browsing a few few

2:30 websites regarding this woman by the

2:31 name of pearl Elliot she was nicknamed

2:34 the mystery woman she worked for John

2:36 Dillinger in the mid-30s early to

2:39 mid-30s she handled all the money and it

2:42 just so happened that she resided here

2:46 cooko Indiana this is one of the very

2:48 few photos of her that you can find this

2:50 one perched on a horse she died in

2:52 1935 a couple years prior to that the

2:55 authorities have been looking very

2:57 heavily to try to catch her with the

3:00 ability to shoot on site anyone that was

3:03 associated with Dillinger but she

3:05 avoided them and ended up dying on her

3:07 own before she could be caught there's

3:10 some pretty good information online on

3:12 Wikipedia if you want to browse it the

3:13 last name Elliott was taken from her

3:16 third husband George and another

3:18 interesting fact she died on my birthday

3:22 August 10th at the age of 47 goes

3:26 through the process of her life from

3:28 youth up to to operating a brothel the

3:31 structure still remains in town and her

3:35 association with Dillinger among others

3:39 I have to be honest I knew nothing about

3:41 the subject matter till a few minutes

3:43 ago when I stumbled on a Facebook

3:45 comment that someone left that it

3:47 happened here in this General vicinity

3:50 and even though today is a huge chunk of

3:53 family time I try to dip away maybe even

3:55 bring my mom dad and sister along see if

3:58 some of the structures some of the

4:00 places that are listed online still

4:02 exist 80 years later normally I pre-plan

4:06 things a little bit better than this but

4:09 since I leave tomorrow I don't want to

4:11 pass this subject up so heck it let's do

4:14 it any idea where the Pearl

4:17 Elliott Homestead and houses are or

4:21 maybe the

4:23 brothel point me in the direction of the

4:25 brothel please no you're shaking your

4:27 head no yeah you'll notice the back seat

4:30 is empty mom and dad did not want to go

4:32 on this adventure my sister however

4:34 opted to drive she's chauffeuring me

4:37 around but since my parents fly out

4:40 tomorrow they just wanted to relaxing

4:42 relax the most of the day today as the

4:44 story goes in late November 1929 she

4:46 lived at this residence and the police

4:49 showed up because they were summoned

4:50 that her radiator cap was stolen from

4:53 her car when they arrived they sense

4:56 something was happening inside the house

4:57 so 2 weeks later they raided the inside

5:01 and charged her with running a place of

5:05 ill intent or ill repute a house of ill

5:10 repute it went to court and the judge

5:12 found her innocent the whole scenario

5:15 sounds kind of bizarre to me why would

5:17 the police care about a radiator cap on

5:21 the car that was parked where this white

5:23 car here is now I think maybe they had a

5:26 hunch on what was going on in this neck

5:28 of the woods all one of the most

5:30 ruthless and Infamous women in Indiana

5:32 resided right there wonder if anyone

5:35 after her that lived there was in the

5:38 same category of ruthlessness just a

5:41 couple years later she went to work for

5:43 Dillinger and right along this now

5:46 busted up railroad track is a

5:49 21 room Boarding House formerly owned

5:54 and ran by her in

5:57 1934 this building was all also raided

6:00 under the assumption that Dillinger and

6:02 his gang were in there they weren't but

6:05 a couple hours later Dillinger was

6:07 caught in Tucson Arizona he wasn't here

6:11 in cooko he was found in Arizona years

6:16 later it was used as a storage facility

6:18 you can still see the engraving up there

6:20 on the side of the bricks this would be

6:23 the back entrance and there is a

6:26 moonman oh I hear a dog barking back

6:28 there someone still

6:31 lives hear that dog

6:40 barking the building is still occupied

6:40 to this day all this history way down in

6:44 Coca mode you have any idea about the

6:46 story until today never heard it before

6:48 no me either I this you learn something

6:51 new every every single day now you can

6:54 tell all your friends about the gangster

6:56 history the Dillinger connection right

6:59 right here in Kook old junkyard here

7:03 behind this fence also some heavy

7:05 machinery a

7:07 forklift and I really like the Ambiance

7:10 of the

7:11 nonworking train

7:13 tracks right next to this now discovered

7:15 historic building there's no sign

7:17 there's no placard no information about

7:20 it other than one or two articles on the

7:23 internet pretty interesting doing a

7:25 little bit more reading up on the

7:27 subject she sold the building and the

7:30 brothel business to a girl that worked

7:32 for her I think before the raid and it

7:35 was also said that one of the last times

7:37 she was seen in public was attending

7:40 Dillinger's funeral in moresville

7:43 Indiana Dillinger was shot in an alley

7:46 in Chicago there's a huge tie in because

7:49 cooko is only two three about 3 hours

7:53 from Chicago there's also some other

7:54 information saying that somewhere on

7:57 this block there was another raid I'm

7:59 thinking thinking at a local bar I don't

8:01 think that blue building was around in

8:03 the late 20s possibly but it could have

8:05 been any of these it could have been

8:07 this one it it's really hard to use my

8:10 Columbo like research skills to figure

8:12 out exactly where it was well mantis

8:15 it's been proven you are no longer the

8:18 most infamous creature in cooko the

8:22 title has been taken away from you is it

8:25 really weird when I talk to inanimate

8:27 objects on the side of the road when you

8:28 scream M him a little strange I see you

8:31 there dancing I see you there having a

8:35 good time it's probably the slowest

8:37 moving wacky Balloon Man there look he's

8:39 just sitting there stagnant and still

8:41 now cheer up Balloon Man cheer up a

8:44 couple other fun facts about this city

8:46 the original Ponderosa Steakhouse

8:49 started here and then it closed I don't

8:51 think it's still open as well as

8:52 McDonald's when they tried to convert

8:55 the fast food style that you are

8:57 familiar with now to a more upscale

8:59 Diner according to the internet that's

9:02 happened here in Cookoo also and failed

9:05 and went back to more of the traditional

9:07 style and it's called stop light City

9:12 because per capita at one time there

9:14 were more stop lights do you feel that

9:16 way when you drive through town that

9:17 there are more stop lights here than any

9:19 other area that you drive through

9:21 normally there's a lot of stop lights

9:22 especially you go downtown stop light

9:24 after stop light just constantly go stop

9:26 and go stop and go stop and go you got

9:27 to get it at right the right time

9:29 if you can hit it the right time you can

9:31 get green the whole way through if you
