Gertrude Baniszewski

Gertrude Baniszewski

In 1965, Gertrude Baniszewski was a 37 year old divorced mother of seven children. Lester and Betty Likens were a couple who worked the carnival circuit and they needed someone to watch their 15 and 16 year old daughters. In a chance meeting they would meet Gertrude and make the decision to allow her to watch their girls in exchange for $20 a week. What would ensue over the next several months to Jenny and Sylvia Likens would be considered as one of the most terrible crimes in Indiana history.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss this case that involves the torture of both girls and the eventual death of 16 year old Sylvia Likens. The details of her death are horrible, but what would come out after the fact about who was involved in the torture and death of Sylvia would shock the nation. Gertrude was the ringleader, but it would turn out that her children and various neighborhood kids were involved as well.
