It's hard to navigate this world without the guidance and example of a parent. From learning to walk to learning to drive, parents are supposed to provide for you, nourish you and help you grow into an independent, successful adult.
For Sylvia and Jenny Likens, this was not their reality. Growing up in a home with an inconsistent parental presence, they learned to adapt quickly by themselves in order to survive. But no amount of life experience would prepare them for what lay in store.
Join your hosts Amanda and Dayvid as we welcome Tyler from Men of Misfortune Podcast into the twisted story of Gertrude Baniszewski and the torture and horrors she inflicted onto the Likens girls. From hysterical re-imaginings of Gertie as a human-cigarette, to allegations of government conspiracy, you will want some tissues within arms-reach for the most sadistic and graphic story we've told yet.
This episode contains extremely triggering content and includes authentic audio and descriptions regarding child abuse, sexual abuse and neglect, references to drug and alcohol use, as well as foul language. Listener discretion and parental discretion is highly advised.
