My apologies for this episode coming out a day later than scheduled, I thought I had more hours in the day than the standard 24 this week, and I was quickly proven wrong. Story of my life, but my life isn't as bad as Sylvia Likens life became when she met her new caretaker, Gertrude Bansizewski.
This week we're back at it with another really heavy and pretty well known case, the torture and murder of Sylvia Likens. Her parents trusted a women who they didn't know very well with the wellbeing of two of their five kids. This women was known for always having other people's kids around and being the house in the neighborhood that all of the kids would go to and hang out at after school, and it seemed like the ideal place to let their kids stay for a few months. Sylvia's parents had no way of knowing that this one mistake would end up being the reason for the tragic death of their 16 year old daughter, Sylvia. This is another one that will be hard to listen to, but not the hardest one I've covered. Happy listening!
