I guess I’m on some kind of role here
that I didn’t mean to sign up for my bad
so the story I have for you
today is kind of like a car accident
you know like you wanna look away
but you can’t
so instead you just kind of break the car a little bit
and then like it causes a bunch of traffic behind you
and now you’re late to work
it’s like that
let’s dive into the compelling story of Candice
who also went by the name Candy Mossler
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
candy Mossler
was described by nearly everyone who knew her
as a glamorous platinum blonde Barbie
who kept her real age a secret
she was a socialite by nature
and an adoring wife by choice
before Kanty met her second husband
his name was Jaka Mosler
who was a multi millionaire
who had an intense dedication to work
okay he yes
love to work
from a young age
Jaka Mosler was determined to provide for himself
and his future family
as his widowed mother
had managed to do for him as a child
Mosler owned a chain of banks and finance companies
from Florida to Texas
and as a result
he was rich
rich like he was rich rich
so Jacca was married beforehand
and in his first marriage
he fathered 4 children
who were set to be the apple of his eye
and for the first time in his life
work had come second
and his new family was first
in his life
Jack was a man
that many described as being an individual
who simply loved helping children
because he was raised by a single mother
who made sure to try her best
to provide for her children
Jack felt like he needed to
or wanted to do that
the same for other kids
which is like
oh that’s so sweet you know
so when his first marriage fizzled out
for whichever reason it did
Jack filed for divorce
and his life changed directions
it was then that Jack met the also recently divorced
socialite Candy
funny how they always show up
right when you go through a divorce
you know so
Candy never revealed her real age to almost anyone
very old school
but it was well known
that Candy was at least 20 years younger than Jack
and the age gap really didn’t mean anything to them
because they fell in love
and by 1949
Jack proposed to Candy
and the 2 were married
by springtime
the relationship was you know
it was the beginning
of what looked like a perfect love story
candy and Jack
moved into a 28 bedroom mansion in Houston together
where a lavish lifestyle
became the new normal for Candy
28 bedrooms
I would love to know what goes in those rooms
because what the hell do you need 28 bedrooms for
like I can understand 4
5 bedrooms okay
but what are you doing with the rest of those rooms
let me know down below
candy’s just loving it
she’s like dude
I hit the jackpot Candy
she always had a love for the finer things in life
okay and after marrying Jack
she was set to enjoy her new lifestyle
permanently
she’s not going anywhere
the couple often
spent their days traveling between their Houston home
and their posh vacation apartment
in Key Biscayne Florida
nearly 8 years into their marriage
Candy and Jack
Jack was watching the news one day
and he heard
about a man who had some kind of like
manic episode
and he ended up killing a pregnant
his pregnant wife
and her unborn child
in a fate of rage
so Jack is watching the news
and he hears the story
the man who had done this
his name was
Leonard Glenn
and he had a history of mental illness
according to officials
after shooting his wife
and stabbing his infant child
Glenn packed his other 4 kids into a car
that he crashed into the snowy banks
near his house
police intercepted
and brought Glenn into custody
immediately
which then left his 4 children orphaned
so Jack is watching the news
he hears the story
and he hears
about the 4 children
who are now orphaned
and his first reaction
was that he wanted to help
so Jack at this time
was worth over 33 million dollars
and he felt like okay
like I have more than enough money
and 28 rooms
I could definitely take on
extra children in my life
so together
Jack and Candy
decided to adopt
these 4 children
that were now orphaned
amazing beautiful
great story
the end I wish right
in the 4 years
following the initial adoption
of the Glen children
the life that Candy
and Jack had built
for themselves
was pretty pleasant
in fact the Mosler family was
seen as the
epitome of success
both in terms of money
and family values
they were just a
great role model
of course that is
until candy’s nephew
his name was Melvin Powers
entered their lives
so who is Melvin Powers
you ask well
let me tell you
he’s a 24 year old
American businessman
who was originally from Birmingham
Alabama before
diving into the world of
Melvin was in the United States Navy
for a few years
after his time
at the Navy
he worked at a variety
of oddball jobs
that ended with him
receiving a conviction
for a con job
in Michigan
it based off what
I was reading
it kind of seemed like Melvin
was always looking for
the easy way out
whether it be
lying to get money
or just lying
to benefit himself
in some kind of way
you get what I’m saying
so the con job
that he was doing
in Michigan
this conviction
resulted in Melvin
receiving a sentence
to serve 90 days in jail
which he did
and when he was out
that’s when he was on probation
for his offences
decided he decided
to move to Houston
and the reason being is
because his mother
recommended
that Melvin
get in touch
with her sister Candy
aka his aunt
as she lived in Houston
with her business owning
very wealthy husband
so like hey
maybe you should get in
touch with my sister
who can maybe
help you out
so melvins thinking wow mom
thanks for the tip
that’s a great idea
and he reaches out to
Candy his aunt
in hopes that
I don’t know
maybe her husband
could offer him a job
offer him something
you know to hopefully
get him into business
and start making money
what transpired
between Melvin
and Candy was
definitely different
than they had intended
the relationship
as aunt and nephew
was strange
from the first time
that they met in Houston
it was said
at this time
Melvin was nearly 21 years
younger than Candy
and was literally
her nephew by blood
but that didn’t stop the 2
from experiencing some
sexual tension
yeah weird yeah
sexual tension
it was happening
oh yes oh yes
now I mean we could all say
well maybe you know
Melvin was doing this on purpose because he knew
like he wanted to get into candy’s pockets
you know her wallet
or maybe he was just trying to get a leg up
in the business world
through her husband
or maybe Candy was feeling some kind of way like she
I don’t know
maybe she liked having this power
or authority over Melvin
that left her hot and bothered
those are just opinions
we don’t really know
whatever it was
their affair lasted for years
yes I said affair
cause they cross that line baby
oh they crossed it
you nastys so
Candy would later say that her affair with her nephew
was a direct response to having discovered that Jack
her husband was gay
oh yes oh yes
candy said that
candy said that Jack
was struck down by a mysterious illness
a mysterious illness that left him a homosexual
and this just shattered her
she had no one else to talk to
so instead she turned to her nephew for companionship
which then just led into a sexual relationship
when Jack was in his mid 60s
he started to stay at their Florida vacation apartment
a lot longer than he normally would
whether it was because he was tired of his marriage
or maybe he just wanted to be alone
while he kind of experimented
I don’t know
or just explore his sexuality more
but he was distancing himself from Candy
at least that was the perception she was getting
well Jack was away in Florida
doing whatever it was he was doing
it was a lot easier for Melvin and Candy to hide
their affair
pretty much
because he was never around
okay or at least
Candy and Melvin thought their affair was a secret
and no one was ever gonna know
Jack had agreed to originally help Melvin
with his business ventures
when he first moved to the home in Houston
he gave Melvin a job
working as a trailer sales men
he owned a lot
Melvin worked at that lot
selling trailers
candy was the one who was in charge of mainly
like financing anything that Melvin needed for his job
so Jack even allowed Melvin to move into the couple’s
multi million dollar mansion
and live rent free
not long after
Melvin had moved in with Candy and Jack
it’s win Jack and Candy
not Jack and Candy
candy and Melvin grew a little sloppy
in the ways that they had hid their affair from Jack
it was said that Jack was not a dumbass
he knew something was going on
he didn’t know it was between the 2 of them
but he knew
like something was just going on
now when Jack did find out the truth
what was going on
between Candy and Melvin
he was like oh heck no
you nasties
your bloodline
is not royal here
and is nothing to protect
y’all are just gross
authorities later
they reported that
a year after Mel moved in
a coworker was the one who told Jack
about what they saw going down
when Jack wasn’t around
this co worker also said
that Melvin was kind of bragging
about what he was doing with Candy
and how he was doing it
all for money
this is what Melvin said to the co worker
co worker told Jack
Jack is already like dude gross
so Jack goes to do some investigating
for his own
so he goes looking for candy’s diary
mm hmm he knows where she keeps it
so he went looking
grabs the diary
opens it up
what does he see
further information
he reads what Candy had written down
over and over again
multiple times
on different pages
she was going on and on
about how she had passionate sexual relations
with her nephew Melvin
after reading candy’s diary
that’s when Jack went on
to just fire
and get rid of Melvin
and 2 officials
ordered Melvin
to leave the mansion
or face a rest
so Melvin is just upset here
he’s saying some mean things
he’s telling Jack
he’s gonna get his revenge
but he’s like
not going quietly
he’s trying to fight
trying to stay
and Melvin left
but when he left
he claimed one day
he would return
quote as the owner of this mansion end quote
it was said
that this left Jack very
it just sat with him
and it kind of like
put some fear within him
he wrote in a personal memo
quote if Mel and Candice
don’t kill me first
I’ll have to kill them
end quote well
it was said
it was a personal memo
but I believe
it was a diary of his own
a journal of his own
so it was said
directly after this whole
fight went down
Jack had kicked Melvin out of their house
in this big blow up
Jack and Candy
their relationship
just went south
quickly quickly
neither Candy nor Jack
felt as though they could
trust each other anymore
neither party really respected the other enough
to have a healthy
loving relationship again
they both obviously
wanted 2 different lifestyles in turn
they formally separated
later that year
even though the couple separated
Jack was still providing
Candy with a $5,000 weekly allowance
to keep her wealthy lifestyle
this would be nearly
$45,000 today
will equal to $45,000 today
so he’s still giving her an allowance
to make her happy
pretty much okay
despite the fact that the 2
obviously wanted
legal separation
from each other
neither of them
wanted to be the first
to file for divorce
firstly their relationship
was heavily public
as their social status
made them increasingly
more popular
as the years went on
the nature of
Jack being gay
is something that
would be considered normal today
but this was the 19 sixties
so he feared that
outing himself
or Candy outing him
would result
in people losing respect for him
and overall
just losing everything
so in a way
Jack was like
I don’t really want to
I don’t want to stir the pot
in a way cause
Candy kind of
she could say something
and it would really
it could ruin his life
candy on the other hand
she didn’t want the public to know
that she had been
cheating on her husband
and not just
cheating on her husband
with her own nephew
because yeah
I mean that wasn’t
gonna be well received
so candy’s like
well I don’t want
to start the divorce
because Jack
could say that
I’ve been having
sex with a nephew
it’s gonna ruin my life
so both are
kinda like you
say something
I’m gonna say something
you know on top of
just the general perception
reasons the 2
were worth a lot of
money together
if Jack decide
to file for divorce
he would have to
split all of his wealth
with her her
their prenuptial agreement
their prenup
if Candy decided
to file first
she would only receive 200 000
which was not worth it
in her eyes
I mean that’s like
only one Birkin bag
how dare he
I mean I’m sure
a lot of us
would be like
yeah I’ll take
the 200,000
that’s good
the only way
for Candy and Melvin
to receive all
33,000,000 of
Jackson at Worth
was if Jack
wound up dead
on June 29th 1964
Canny decide
to take her 4
adopted children
to see their father
at his Florida apartment
and this is where
Jack was living
pretty much full time
after their separation
at the Florida
vacation home
but he’s living there
full time now
so she takes
the kids over there
to go to visit we guess
I don’t know
they only stayed
for a little bit
at jack’s apartment
just for a few hours
and during that time
Candy complained
that her head
was just pounding
she had a migraine
throughout candy’s life
it was said
that she suffered
from migraines
that were often
debilitating
you know this
excuse that
her head was hurting
it sounded about right
it wasn’t something
that was weird
so after a couple hours
it was said that
Kanye was just
tired of being in pain
so she decided
to take the 4
children into her car
and they drove off
to a nearby
emergency room
in hopes that
the medical
staff could help
alleviate her migraine
just moments
after Candy left
jack’s apartment
an intruder
broke in through
the front door
he just walked in
I guess but
there was some
kind of scuffle
that had taken
place between
the intruder
and Jack sadly
the intruder
brutally stabbed
Jack in the
chest and the
repeatedly around
39 times in total
the intruder
frustrated with Jack
for not dying
quick enough
I guess they
took something
heavy to then
smash over Jack
jack’s head
which killed him
instantly when
Candy and her children
returned to
jack’s apartment
around 4 in
the morning
which is like
what are you doing
well whatever
so at 4 in the morning
they come back to the home
and they find Jack
who is just wrapped up in a blood soaked blanket
and is just dead
Candy called the police immediately
upon discovering her husband’s remains
and when local law enforcement
arrived at the scene of the crime
they knew immediately
that jack’s murder was a crime of passion
and they knew this
because of how many stab wounds there were
I mean it was screaming hey
this is personal
and I should have gone into a little bit deeper
explanation
I guess about how they knew that
it’s very fascinating
they could tell if it’s investigators going on
they can tell if it’s somebody who knew the victim
just based off of how the attack went down
which I find fascinating
I’m losing my voice
what is going on
not the point though
but they knew it was a crime of passion
so investigators quickly began interviewing
or asking questions from the neighbors
and some of the neighbors had remarked that they heard
like a panicked shouting happening
and various thuds happening
in the direction of jack’s unit
sorry about that little guy
one neighbor said that they saw like
a dark haired man in dark clothing fleeing the premises
almost immediately after the commotion had stopped
but they didn’t get a good look at who it was
so Candy Candy
on the other hand
informed investigators of Jack
his tendencies to take home strange men
and suggested that you know
maybe this could have been an act of a jealous lover
so police of course
took this into consideration
and tried to track down any men
who had personal relationships with Jack
but at some point
early on in the investigation
law enforcement located jack’s personal diary
yes inside this diary
they came across pages upon pages of just
weird and eerie comments concerning Candy and Melvin
so in this diary
investigators could tell that Jack was genuinely
afraid of his wife
and her lover
incestuous lover
I must say that they might kill him for his money
this is what he’s writing in his diary mm hmm
so this alone was enough for investigators to start to
focus their investigation on Melvin and Candy
a little bit more
so back at jack’s home
crime scene
investigators hold on
so back at jack’s home
crime scene
investigators found bloody fingerprints
on jack’s countertops
they run these bloody fingerprints
through you know
their system
and voila baby
matched Melvin
one of jack’s cars was stolen
one of them
you know it was the one that Candy usually drove around
anyhow so they find jack’s car
near a local airport
it was reported stolen
so when they find it
they’re like
okay here it is
so let I’m sure it was more than that
I feel like I’m making this more confusing
stolen car it was jack’s car
now it was found
near a local airport
and was searched
and of course
like inside
they find a bloody fingerprint
they ran it through the system
Melvin it was linked to Melvin
again Melvin
you’re a little sloppy
as it turned out
Melvin had been seen in Miami
over the same few days that jack’s murder took place
it only took a few days
for police to locate and arrest Melvin
for the murder of Jack
when word got back to Candy
about melvin’s arrest
she hired the top defense attorney to represent Melvin
I mean the best of the best
but police wholeheartedly believe that
Melvin did not act alone
they believed that Melvin was working closely with
Candy Mossler
to murder Jack Mossler
for his money
shortly after Melvins arrest
Candy was then taken into custody
for her assumed association
in her husband’s murder as well
candy knew she wouldn’t do well
behind bars
locked up no
it’s not gonna work for me
so she hired a team of lawyers
to make sure she never served a day in jail
now for over a year
after the murders
both Candy and Melvin were free on bond
don’t get me started
at the parish trial
Candy and Melvin consistently asserted their innocence
the prosecution team presented a case
showing Melvin and Candy wanted Jack dead
so they could be together and inherit his millions
it was estimated that jack’s estate was
worth over 200 million in gross value
and 22 million in net value
over 16 billion gross
and over 177 million in net value today
so a lot of money
okay like a lot of money
if you had 177 million
you’d be good for the rest of your life
the prosecution backed up their claim of an affair
with photographs of Candy and Melvin
that they had taken together
the couple they seemed to travel a lot together
and documented their trips
with photos of them
on ski slopes
at concerts and in nightclubs
cheese like
taking pictures together
wherever they went
so they brought these into the courtroom
and they told the jury look
this happy couple
look at them
here is the motive
they wanted the money
they told the jury that Jack had recently
learned of his wife’s affair with her nephew
and in response
Jack was planning a divorce
and dropping her from his will
now this sudden change of events
is what caused Melvin to fly from Houston to Miami
he was seen driving candy’s white car
around the time of the murder
in the area
then hours before the time of death
Melvin was at this place called the Stuffed
Shirt Lounge
which was a lounge bar area
but it was right by jack’s apartment
and he was spotted there
Melvin was before leaving
Melvin had asked the bartender for
an empty bottle of Coke
the prosecution said that he left the bar
and headed to jack’s apartment
with the Coke bottle in hand
it’s believed
or it was argued
that this was the weapon Melvin used to
strike Jack in the head
an empty Coke can
like the real glass
coke bottles
those are pretty hardcore
I think yes
that sounds about right
then the killer used a knife
to stab the victim 39 times
candy’s part in the murder
was making sure that her husband was home alone
she had claimed to have a migraine
and then insisted on taking the kids
the 4 children with her
to drive around for nearly 3 hours
3 and 1/2 hours
she didn’t go to the urgent care
like she had said she did
she instead would just drove around for 3 and 1/2 hours
they called witnesses
who testified that Candy had spoken to them
about trying to find someone to kill her husband
the prosecution is
painting a picture that all signs point to
Melvin and Candy
I mean no ifs
ands or buts
they got the motive
we’ve got witnesses
who said that Candy was asking if someone could kill
her husband
I mean it’s clear stay right
the defense team came back
and fought that
the bloody fingerprints that were found in the home car
could have been there
from days before
for all anyone knew
this was before
DNA testing
so all they knew was that there was blood and like
bloody fingerprints and stuff
but not who the blood belonged to
so they’re trying to fight
like well yeah
there’s bloody fingerprints and stuff
but we don’t know how it got there
could have been left there
from a couple days before
I mean it’s wild
you guys it could happen
candy took the stand
testifying that
on many occasions
she and her children had come home
and found Jack
involved with a male lover
the defense said that
any one of the random men Jack picked up
could have killed him
and it’s not fair to blame it on Candy
or Melvin to you
and I I feel like this is easy right well
the jury took over 16 hours to deliberate
and they returned with a verdict
a verdict of not Effin guilty
what what what
yep not guilty
they claim that they found insufficient evidence
to convict the couple of murder
despite all of the evidence
that were presented to the jury
the diaries
the love affair the motive
the witnesses not guilty
now the jury they acknowledge their illicit love affair
but noted that the affair in itself
did not mean that they were responsible
for jack’s murder
all of the evidence presented at trial
turned out to be far too circumstantial
for any guilty sentence
in sentence
set for any guilty sentencing
there we go
they just felt like
it really didn’t prove that they indeed did it
the media was reporting on all of this
and people were losing their shit
because like oh
money an affair
Jack being possibly gay
candy having an affair with her nephew
when I tell you
people were losing their shit
like they were losing it
this story was just like insane
and it got to the point
where they had to shut the doors to the the court
hearing itself
it was just seen as too extreme
too sexual for people to handle
they would not allow anybody to
like come in
and whatnot
it was wild
heads were exploding
left and right
based off of what I was reading and like
hearing and stuff
so after her win in court
Candy did what she did best
she’s like you know what everyone
I’m gonna throw a party
so she threw a party
I’m celebrating that the
that they were found not guilty
god her children took one of the murder trial posters
that had been around town
to the guest
and had them all
like sign it
as a souvenir
they framed it
yay as a result
Candy and Melvin walked free
for a murder
that many are positive
they committed
like Candy had hoped
and dreamed for
she inherited her husband’s estate
and his banking business
she changed the name of the company
to Candace Mosler Enterprises
what a shitty person she is
wow and just a year after winning their trial
Candy and Melvin split
but she went on to inherit
her deceased husband’s millions
and even remarried in 1971
to a man named Barnett
but so strange
you guys we don’t know
she just has a wild life Barnett
is it Barnett
you see what happened was Barnett
he suffered brain damage
the next year in a mysterious fall
from the couple’s mansion’s balcony
and he suffered from some serious brain damage
and was in a coma
and Kenny was like
I’m out bye
okay so then in 1976
candy’s body was found in a Miami hotel room
she was dressed only in a lace robe
and she had on a full face of makeup
as she always did
she had overdosed at 55 years old
some sources say that she was 62 years old
another source said she was 66 years old
and honestly
I didn’t verify
because I just felt like it was very fitting
how old was she
nobody knows
you never ask a lady how old she is
ooh Melvin and Candy again they split
and when he found out that Candy had died
he did attend candy’s funeral
with his hot new little boo thing
and by then
at that point
he had become a flamboyant real estate developer
in Houston oh yeah
he went on to have a very successful life
he was said to always dress head to toe
and very expensive attire
he owned a huge luxury yacht
and by 1979
Melvin had built a fortune
estimated to be worth 200 million dollars
he also drew attention in the early 1980s
by adding 23 feet to his 142 foot yacht
which was said to be one of the largest in
the Western Hemisphere
well Melvin
you’re really doing it
Melvin groundbreaking
Melvin was like
in and out of bankruptcy
he had filed bankruptcy a couple times
but then he would like
bounce back
so something sketchy was going on
I don’t know
and at the age of 68
Melvin was found dead at his home in Houston
the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences
said that the cause of death remained undetermined
that my friends
is a story about Candy
and Jack Mossler
and candy’s just
what do I even name
who poor Jack
poor poor Jack
he seemed like such a great guy
and he totally just got taken advantage of
by this devil woman
that’s what
calling her a devil woman
what happened to the 4 adopted children
you ask well
I don’t know
I didn’t look into it
because just leave him alone
they’ve been through enough
I don’t want you know
what did we learn
here my friends
well if you are wealthy
in this country
you can and probably will
get away with murder
isn’t it fun
stories like these
they get under my skin so bad
oh if you have money to get away with anything
it’s so effed up
and you could say
well Bailey
this this was from the 60s
or whatever
the early 70s
