The Brutal Murder of Sylvia Likens

Sylvia Likens was your typical teenage girl, with her entire life ahead of her until her and her sister were sent to live with Gertrude Baniszewski while her parents were working for a traveling carnival. The horrors that Sylvia was forced to endure make this case the most gruesome in Indiana’s history. Brace yourself, this one is a difficult one. Please don't hate Coni after she tells you this one.
