Love your work. You guys crack me up 😃😃

Ryan..Ryan..Ryan, Mabel did NOT have a dependency on alcohol; it was cocaine. Plus, when Mabel met Taylor, she was underaged. I truly hope and pray that you read what I wrote, because I'm a huge fan of the silent era. I don't know if you're going to cover the angle of Mary Miles Minter, aka Juliet Reilly, and her mother, Charlotte Shelby -- a former actress herself. Since Charlotte's career really never took off, she literally forced Juliet, aka Mary, into the spotlight at the tender age of 5 ( some reports say that she was 4 when she was forced into the spotlight) in order to fulfill Charlotte's dream of making it big in Hollywood. There were rumors flying around that Charlotte had dictated the letters that Mary "wrote". Charlotte wanted Taylor, and Mary to basically "hook up" and eventually marry. However, the truth is that Mary thought that Taylor was too old for her liking. By this time around, and around this horrible scandal, Mary's career was at a standstill and was beginning to wane. She dropped out of the acting career in 1923. Mabel soon followed. She, Mabel, was behind another 2 scandals before she passed away from tuberculosis.

The theory behind Mabel Normand was that he loved her, but not in the traditional sense. He loved her as a friend, like a child..almost. It was rumored that he'd say: "Blessed Baby, you're going to be the death of me." Unfortunately, this couldn't be proven. Now, Mabel did have a wicked dependency with cocaine, because that's what she had been given to lessen menstrual pain, and the pain of having tuberculosis. Taylor had done everything possible to get Mabel off the crap, even going as far as to sue...yes, sue the people who were selling her the cocaine. Taylor had met with prosecutors in order to get rid of the dealers, and there's a theory that they ( the dealers ) had found out about the meeting, and they were the ones that killed Taylor. The theory that people never discussed is his previous life in Ireland, and the jilted wife had seen a picture that he starred in and directed, and was madder than a hornet. She could've hired someone to kill him. The next possible theory is that the heads of the studios contracted him to be killed, because Taylor was known to have "relations" with underaged teens. Which could've ruined the movie studios, and the heads of the studios.

People asking about the drugs--in the 1920s, opium was still a pretty big thing, as well as morphine, cocaine, and heroin. Opiates were a huge issue in the US at that point in time and were very widely used.

Nothing they did was a scam. And you don't hint on the fact that they may have forced MMM to kill Taylor. Think about it.

Holy crap. I share a birthday with a murdered guy. *sarcastic laughter*

SHANE KEYSMASHED OUT LOUD SHBJCBDS

my man is named sans

I love how they actually hug to determine it's BS to shoot someone in the back in that position xDD ♥

1:39 ryan laughs like a witch

This is the beginning of Ricky Goldsworth

If a bullet gets shot into a person it will either get stuck somewhere in the person, or it will cause something which is called a through and through in which case, the bullet will go all the way through a said person. If a person was hugging someone and one of them had a gun, and he shot it, and it was a through and through, it would potentially hurt the shooter who was hugging him, and causes a cut along with a minor bruise surrounding it, or it would simply just hit him pretty hard and give him a large bruise. Thank you and goodnight.

Secretary/Valet/Cook... lol

Sounds like chills

Heres a mystery why are the ladies eyes different color than the thumbnail

I have started to love watching these when I space out in class....although my education is suffering, I do get to hear about a case that goes absolutely no where, and nothing is accomplished. So, I got that going for me.....

i watch these in the morning while i shower. i love these sm.

"x x x x x x x x .. X"

why is no one talking about Shane's apartment's elevator

Dude had 78$ in his wallet. That’s 328$ in today’s money . That man was loaded

As someone named “Taylor” I found this episode especially creepy, thank you.

What about the family he abandoned?? They wouldn’t have any reason to seek vengeance and murder him?

Love all these videos but the spooky voice was scary annoying for this one!

Do the chicken coop murder

The hash slinging slasher did it

Yes Sir, Mr. Goldsworth. 😁

This episode seems a tad more dramatic than the rest

Lol in the reenactment the gun shown was a.357 magnum

this would have been very good except for the two idiots who completely ruined it

i think "hindu prince" may be code for drugs. thoughts?

running with the bull..ets

4:10 umm just saying that bullet clearly hasn't been fired yet. 😅

Look at Ryan trying to be like Rod Serling

If he was shot in the back when he have fallen forward and then be laying on his stomach instead of his back?

thats some old drama guys

Bullets can stay in a body or exit, depending on the calibre of the weapon. I had fun with this video, hehe

Wait... If the mother was romantically involved with the attorney. What if she convinced him to kill William😂

i can’t be the only one who thought the love letters were SUPER creepy.

I have no Idea why these scare me so much. Geez. I'm sacred to be alone at my apartment. 😶

GUYS ITS BEEN 97 YEARS SINCE THIS HAPPENED SKSKSKKSKSSKK

William Desmond Taylor William Diane-Tanner. WDTx2

i love ryan’s giggles

Is no one going to talk about the sex in the elavator anecdote?

I think I'm a little obsessed with this, and it's probably not healthy

The reading of Mary's love letter was legitimately the funniest thing I've ever heard

I love this series so much, mostly because Ryan and Shane know how to laugh and not take everything too seriously. When you go on Investigation discovery, it seems so theatrical and staged. But here, they just say the facts and make a few jokes along the way. I love this series, keep up the good work!!

I hate the way he talks

Ryan: *HOLLYWOOD* Me: Gemme your shoes

To clarify I’m talking about Hocus Pocus

how tall was mary's mother? I mean wouldn't it be hard to shoot a taller man while hugging him and proceeded not to get shot herself

Ryan's really chalking up that ominous voice in this one.... must be the inner Ricky Goldsworth...

I think you two are forgetting that he was killed during prohibition when alcohol was illegal, so if Mabel was having trouble with drugs and alcohol then maybe she had confided to Taylor about her addiction problems in their letters (though perhaps she didn't state it directly) and maybe that's why she didn't want all of their letters to be released because it not only would have ruined her career but possibly would have gotten her arrested for allegedly consuming alcohol. So I don't think Taylor was a 'buzzkill' for being against alcohol, I think he was just genuinely concerned for Mabel

The keyboard smash had me dead LMAO

What kind of tea does Shane like???

he 4real made moaning sounds

doesn’t answer door lights are on “well he’s prolly already dead” *shrugs*

“to hide the fact that... Taylor was a homosexual.” next time on myth busters

The most suspicious part of all this is the fact that his name has no B's in it yet somehow his nickname is Bill.

Man I love these.

BRO Shane's sex noises

Ryan's voice is extra spooky spook and I'm laughing uncomfortably

3:30 he... he said a keyboard slam

3:28 😂😂😂

*Four days after this episode* A man walks across a border in the US of America The man: my names Ricky Goldworth and I own this state now The border warden: ummmmmm *Ricky reaches into his jacket* The border warden: okay! The manner house is down the road

A woman shot him as kissing him 🤷🏻‍♂️

the mannequin behind shane freaks me out everytime

It was a kidnapping got wrongful

hands raised when getting shot from behind... has it occured to anyone that Taylor was murdered by a mugger? you know "Put you hands up and face the wall" ? Any one just me?

I love the idea that "The easy way out", to Ryan is trying to find a rational scientific explanation instead of just accepting the existence of something which has never been proven real.

ryan and shane immediately testing out the hugging shot i love it

They should make a buzzfeed solved but were unsolved that would be cool

He really did keysmash out loud...! XDD

I almost spit out my drink when Shane said "oh blessed baby"

This just in: long man tries to figure out how to show affection towards strong dwarf! Seriously, that part was hilarious though.

me trying to get my crush to like me: *i love you i love you i love you i love you XXXXXXXXXXXXX X*

EW calling your significant other “blessed baby”😂😂

3:28 ASDFGHJKL xD

is ryans voice more menacing than usual orrrr

since safia & the try guys aren’t in this company anymore, I rarely watch buzzfeed anymore, buzzfeed unsolved is gold though. the only good thing left on buzzfeed

3:30

This literally sounds exactly like an L.A noire case where tf is Phelps I-

But then again la noire is in 1947 (at least homicide desk is)

Look into the Thomas Ince murder - very similar.

I like the jazzy 20's music they have in the background XD

BuzzFeed Unsolved is NEVER the same without Ryan and Shane. Please don’t switch them with others 😭

x x x x x x x x and X

I know Shane has a girlfriend but wow he's such a bottom

Yeah, I wonder why buzzfeed didn't mention Margaret Gibson as one of their suspects...she reportedly confessed to the murder of William Desmond Taylor?!!!

this murder took place 80 years and 11 days before I was born

A silent film star who was *VERY VOCAL* Oxymoron much?!?

3:30 This situation sounds like a game of clue.

Why are your glasses made of glass

What month is it Ryan?

Venetia Astrop feb-ee-ary

The murderer coulda shot him mw2 style

WDT starred in like 30 movies y’all 😂😂

"They found a pink night gown. They think it belongs to a woman" Ofcourse! Duh.

We should have this guy's death as a movie

These unsolved cases always make me sad af. We can only hope that one day these will all be solved ;-;

Most of Hollywood still is on drugs and booze

Dude on the left looks like a skinny Zaza Pachulia
