Welcome to the 42nd episode of Wild Society!

Described as the most revolting case in German criminal history, the story of Fritz Haarman is not for the faint of heart. Known to have possibly killed up to 50 boys and young men, find out why he was dubbed the “Vampire of Hanover”

From the outside looking in, the Bush family appeared to be normal, even though the youngest child, Jennifer, had been in and out of doctor offices and hospitals from a very young age. Around age 8, nurses and doctors began to become suspicious that Jennifer’s illnesses were being caused by her mother Kathy. Is this a case of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy? Child Abuse? Or just a young girl who was sick and outgrew her illnesses? Listen to find out!
