In this episode, we start our new series titled "True Crime Theater" where we discuss movies that were inspired by real crimes or movies that inspired people to commit crimes. The first episode is the abuse and death of Sylvia Likens, a 16 year old teenager living with a large family while her own parents worked with the travelling carnival. The movie "An American Crime" is based on her story and is available on Amazon Prime.
