I'm baaaaaack!I am bringing you a "House of Horrors" story suggested by multiple listeners of the show- The Turpin Family. Thank the Lord no one is killed, but this case is far from having a happy ending. Trigger warning- this case involves child abuse. https://linktr.ee/KillerStoriesResearch and partial writing by Sara Breau Sources:You Tubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9cHOpyilBIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd2zmJGx8LEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chIFYO_F9wYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEmj0qXgmP4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbjNRCTMXecWikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turpin_caseNew York Posthttps://nypost.com/2023/02/13/some-house-of-horrors-turpin-siblings-finding-life-impossible-after-parents-torture/https://nypost.com/2021/11/20/house-of-horrors-kids-still-being-abused-this-time-by-system/https://nypost.com/2022/03/31/2-turpin-siblings-molested-by-foster-father-report/https://nypost.com/2024/01/24/news/turpin-kids-seek-settlement-over-foster-care-abuse-years-after-being-rescued-from-sadistic-parents-lawyer/

11-7 Taylor Shabusiness - The death of Shad Thyrion
This episode is extremely gruesome and disturbing.
