Certainly Mr Udderzook deserves some credit, if not for the originality of his crime, at least for the originality of his name.grandoldmovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773085288675763855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-13111335849249076192018-06-25T09:24:36.044-07:002018-06-25T09:24:36.044-07:00Hi, I'd like to contact you - is there an emai...Hi, I'd like to contact you - is there an email address where I can reach you?

It sounds like the demonstrable evidence of attempted fraud was enough to justify the companies refusing to pay--even after Goss was unquestionably dead.Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214242522330278662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-87946687662838959992018-06-18T18:04:39.063-07:002018-06-18T18:04:39.063-07:00Very interesting.

The rapidity with which the insurance companies wanted to know about Goss's teeth suggests that using dental conditions to verify or deny a corpse's identity was not entirely novel, though there were no actual dental records to use. Even so, the teeth seemed to have been instrumental in encouraging the insurance companies.<br /><br />But over all, it was a pretty clumsy execution of a scheme the likes of which insurance companies must have been wary. Plus, of course, there was the liability of the villain of the piece being named 'Udderzook'.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-59456029065161899722018-06-18T10:45:31.320-07:002018-06-18T10:45:31.320-07:00Somebody was certainly trying to get to Carnegie H...Somebody was certainly trying to get to Carnegie Hall.busterggihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146221182670363053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-34605288945162527982018-06-18T09:49:52.538-07:002018-06-18T09:49:52.538-07:00I'm curious, now that he was dead by misadvent...I'm curious, now that he was dead by misadventure, wouldn't the insurance companies have to pay the widow?
