The True Crime Librarian

The torture and abuse Sylvia suffered in the months leading up to her death pale in comparison the last few days of her life. Branded as a prostitute is unimaginable to those who knew her best. She was like a typical teenage girl, she had crushes on boys her own age but her virtue was never in danger of being taken. Jealousy or envy fueled the matriarch and her young prodigy, both handed cards in life that were unfair. One at the later half of her prime and the other hopelessly in love with a married man who no longer wanted their relationship leaving her with a child out of wedlock. The neighborhood children and teens had no idea that those moments of entertainment when they abused and tortured Sylvia would play a role in her death and leave them to face very serious consequences. Join me tonight as we dive deeper and close out the case of Sylvia Marie Likens.
