Episode description

This week's episode is about the horrific torture and eventual murder of 16-year-old Sylvia Likens. This case comes with just about every trigger warning in the book but especially for sexual assault and abuse.

Sylvia Likens was taken in by the Baniszewskis and then brutally tortured and assaulted for an entire summer in 1965 before finally passing away at the direction of Gertrude Baniszewski (although just about everyone joined in her torture including Gertrude's children and neighborhood kids).
