June 1965: Sisters Jennifer Faye Likens (15) and Sylvia Marie Likens (16) board with a local and very reputable woman named Gertrude Baniszewski along with her seven other children at their parent’s will so that they can travel the West Coast for work. For the first week, everything in the house is cordial and the girls blend in with the kids quite well. Soon after, Gertrude’s state of mind takes a dark twist… and drags Sylvia along with it. “One of the worst crimes ever committed in the state of Indiana” is the center of this episode and Kayla and I give you the nitty-gritty, with details taken from House of Evil: The Indiana Torture Slaying by John Dean.
