Louise Beattie

The Forgotten Files — Episode One: The Murder of Louise Beattie Step into the first file of The Forgotten Files, a historical true-crime mini-series built within Til TRUTH Do Us Part. In our first case, we travel back to Virginia in 1911, where a wealthy young man, a troubled marriage, a forbidden relationship, and a deadly plan collide. Henry Clay Beattie Jr. claimed a masked stranger stopped his automobile and shot his wife, Louise Owen Beattie, along a lonely Virginia road. 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 unfolds, questions about motive, money, betrayal, and murder begin 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. 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. In just a second, we're opening our first file.This episode includes AI-generated content.
