In this deeply unsettling episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale unravels the horrifying story of Mary Beth Tinning, the New York mother who buried nine of her own children over a 14-year span — and walked free after nearly every one. Between 1972 and 1985, child after child died mysteriously in her care, with causes ranging from “SIDS” to unexplained seizures… and no one questioned the pattern. For years, Mary Beth played the grieving mother, drawing sympathy from neighbors, doctors, and clergy — while continuing a cycle of calculated murder. It wasn’t until the death of her infant daughter Tami Lynne that investigators finally uncovered the truth: Mary Beth had been smothering her children for years. With psychological insights into Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a look into one of the most disturbing maternal cases in American history, and gripping courtroom drama, Damien Vale takes listeners through a nightmare that unfolded behind closed doors — where love was supposed to live, but only death remained.
