    Remembering The Woman Who Sued Her Husband's Mistress: 'The Price of a Broken Heart' (The Hutelmyer Case)

      The Price of a Broken Heart, based on Dot Hutelmyer, is true movie nostalgia. I remember this movie and the real case. The true story made headlines in the 1990s when jilted North Carolina wife, Dorothy Hutelmyer, sued her husband's mistress.   Today, they call mistresses side-pieces… The Price of a Broken Heart is also known as Alienation of Affection. The 1999 legal courtroom drama has some heartbreaking moments. We see a devoted wife and mother who encourages her husband every step of the way. But the more his business flourished, the more his eyes wandered. What a shame… It was a long marriage, and Dorothy felt the difference after 18 years. Joe had lost it for her. They were no longer sleeping together, and well, he seemed to have no interest in her. Then, he left. Whoa.. He broke her heart. But he didn’t get away. Dot Hutelmyer was not going to let this woman take her man without compensation.  And Joe? Well, he wouldn't get an ounce of peace until they paid...

    Dr. Michele St. Romain (Doctor Michele Saint Romain) Credit Police File Photo On a warm summer night in June 1991, Dr. Michele St Romain disappeared without a trace. It’s a case you’ve probably never heard. But here in Birmingham, Alabama , it was quite a mystery. Everyone in Birmingham was talking about the missing Children's Hospital doctor. I was 20 years old when a picture of the missing Children’s Hospital doctor flashed all across the local nightly news. The case would take investigators years to solve. Three Alabama cases first sparked my interest in true crime and mysteries . The case of missing doctor Michele St. Romain is one of them.  **In this story, the name of Dr. Michele St. Romain's boyfriend was changed. This is a transcript of the video on YouTube. The Disappearance  Sometime after 6:30 p.m. on the evening of June 11, 1991, Dr. Michele St. Romain finishes dinner with her then-boyfriend, Dr. Stanley McRie, a handsome doctor who works at another Birmingham hosp...

    The Legend of Dead Darrius: The True Story of Birmingham Alabama's Urban Legend--Mummified Stuffed Boy

    Dead Darrius  was said to be a  stuffed boy whose mummified body   sat on a porch in Birmingham, Alabama , between the 1950s and 1960s. Since I was a child, I have always loved a good story—not storybook stories—but real stories, the kind you hear from listening to grown folks talk on the front porch. When someone tells a good one, I immediately know if it's something I want to sink my teeth into. The Legend of Dead Darrius was that kind of story. The boy who sat on the front porch known as Dead Darrius (Credit: File Photo Traciy Curry-Reyes) Ivy Brook Walker  It was around midnight on January 8, 2019, when my daughter, Ivy Brook Walker, entered my room to show me a tweet and a creepy photo of a boy they called Dead Darrius. The tweet urged Birminghamians to ask their parents about the story. Ivy asked me if I'd heard of it.  I hadn't. But the photo intrigued me. I got right up and scoured the Internet for hours trying to find information about this boy th...
