When five-year-old Myretta Jones didn’t return home from a trip to the grocery store, her grandmother quickly called her mother, Lorene. Deputies and neighbors searched through the night, only to stumble upon a horrifying discovery that would shock their community.

This case, reminiscent of the 1956 film The Bad Seed, takes us back to 1947 and the chilling story of a young girl, Joyce Nichols, whose actions would forever alter the lives of those around her. Uncover the unsettling details of this historic case and how it echoes themes of innocence turned sinister.
