Few love affairs are as bizarre as that between Walburga 'Dolly' Oesterreich and Otto Sanhuber. The conniving cougar convinced her lover to give up his life and instead spend his days hidden in the attic of the home she shared with her husband, Fred. Only descending to do chores and meet Dolly's more...carnal needs.
This strange situation would end in a bizarre and deadly confrontation.

I think it is a prime example of Dolly being a woman who groomed a minor or took advantage of someone vulnerable, rather than a bizarre love triangle. If the same circumstances involved an old man and a young girl or woman, people would be outraged instead of finding it amusing or shaming the victim. Therefore, she was a repulsive human being. If she were alive today, she would likely end up in prison or on the sex offender list. It is important to acknowledge that there are female predators, not just men.

@Antikyth Месяц назад

I agree - this is something important to acknowledge! I'm sure most are men, but just as there have always been female murderers too, there are female abusers, female sexual predators, female rapists. And while certainly women are by far more likely to be victims, men can be too. It's important to spread awareness that these things happen - and no matter who by or to. Everyone needs to feel safe to speak out if something happens to them. And we still have a long way to go, for all victims.

@thaloblue 11 дней назад

I believe it may have been a cycle of grooming. A 15 yo and a 12 yo have no business dating each other. Sure, they were both minors, but she was still very very young AND she was his father’s employee. That’s two severe power imbalances at play before the marriage even began. And she continues the cycle of imbalanced power by keeping a minor locked in her home. His most formative years as a man were spent at her complete beck and call.

Maybe he just didn’t care, since his wife was a housewife, so an attic would really just be something for his wife to use as storage and not as something he’d consider as a part of the house in that sense. When we accessed the attic some years after the house was bought (accessible only from the outside, by ladder) the only thing we found was a giant wasps nest. When I say giant, I mean it was like 5 times the size of my head.

I find it weird some people never really take what happened to Otto seriously. If you swapped the genders people would decry the "dirty old man" keeping a young woman in his house Guy was basically Stockholmed into being blindly loyal to her

@rl7012 Год назад

Otto was free to leave at any time but he chose to stay. He not only stayed in the attic, but moved houses with them and stayed in the new house's attic's too. So Otto was a submissive doormat and probably exaggerated his sex slave story as we only have his word for it. Anyone who claims they did all the cooking and cleaning of the house while the husband was at work, and also had to shag Dolly up to 8 times a day, is probably exaggerating a lot. As his version of events makes him look like the victim and also makes him look like a stud.

I think this says something about the husbands or possibly the mansions they lived in, that they didn’t grasp that Otto was there, also this was the tail end of the era of “servant quarters” I think that may have played into her ability to pull it off, as some homes would have had things like back stairs and weird access points to rooms.

I noticed on my trek to the bus stop at five a.m. that a house had a sleeping bag hanging off of the roof a smidge. I could see that green shiny material and the zipper and knew what it was. Also a huge pile of cigarette butts lying under it on the ground. Turns out a guy that lived there had a girl living on the roof that he was seeing on the sly of his wife. Lmao. Had a whole little estate up there with candles and stuff everywhere. It was the sleeping bag was what got them caught.

Excellent choice! This is the strangest cuckolded husband murdered by plotting wife's younger boyfriend, cases in history. I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet but this story has so many strange twists you'd think it's fiction if you saw the events on screen. The story has the dark humor of a movie like raising Arizona. It has hilarious twists but a tragic ending. And the odd aspect where pity is felt for the stories antagonist despite their crime. It's also uniquely the first instance of obvious Stockholm syndrome long before it was a recognized affliction.
