Summary

When Candy Weatherby Johnson met multimillionaire Jacque Mossler while soliciting donations for the New Orleans Grand Opera Company, the two hit it off and began a whirlwind romance. They settled down in a large mansion in Houston, Texas and for years, had a happy marriage. But when Candy’s nephew Melvin Lane Powers came to town, everything came crashing down. This is preface one of two of the story about The Blue Beard of Houston.

When we set out to do a story about the man the Houston Press called the Blue Beard of

0:17.7

This episode is not about that man, but we'll get to him soon enough.
