Hi guys, how are you today? My name is Bailey Sarian and today is Monday, which means

Smirter, Mystery and Makeup Monday.

If you are new here every Monday, I sit down and talk about a true crime story that's been heavy on my noggin

and I do my makeup at the same time. If you're interested in true crime and you like make up,

I would highly suggest you hit that subscribe button. This week we're going to talk about

Margie Velma Bullard. Margie. It's a name you don't really hear that often, right? Margie Velma Bullard.

She was born October 29th, 1932. Also her birthday just passed. Happy birthday.

But yeah, she was born step one in South Carolina and she was born to a poor family.

They didn't really have much money. Her father, his name was Murphy and he was a cotton into tobacco farmer.

And apparently he was not a good person. He was physically abusive towards her and also she had other siblings as well.

I believe she had eight other siblings and their father was just abusive.

And now their mother, her name is Lillian. She never like intervened when he was being abusive towards the kids.

She really just kept her mouth shut and just watched it happen.

Was Lillian being abused? Maybe probably but that's not a fact. It's just an opinion. I'm really not sure.

But I would probably say yes. So maybe she didn't step in because she was too afraid.

So Margie Velma Bullard. That's her legal name but she mainly went by Velma.

So we're gonna call her Velma, okay? Following? Cool.

Okay, so growing up, Velma wasn't aware that her family was poor until she started attending school.

She would constantly compare herself to classmates, her clothes, her shoes, her book bag lunch.

I mean, she became aware that her situation wasn't quote unquote, quote unquote normal

to wear the same thing every day and to have dirty clothes and to have clothes and holes in them.

But of course, because kids are mean little assholes, they quickly reminded her every day that she was poor
