In the 1960s, Sylvia Likens lived in southern Boone County, Indiana with her family which consisted of her father, Lester Likens, mother Betty Likens, fraternal twins, Danny and Diana, and another set of fraternal twins, Bennie and Jenny. Sylvia was the middle child between the two sets of twins. The Likens family were very poor and Sylvia's father worked many odd jobs, even traveling with the carnival to sell food from a concession stand, but it is said that the children were happy and taken care of. In June of 1965, Sylvia's mother, Betty was arrested for shoplifting, leaving Lester to come up with a way to support his children while she was away. Lester found his two daughters, Sylvia and Jenny at a home near theirs known as the Baniszewski home. Lester decided he would "board" his daughters at Gertrude Baniszewski's home, paying her $20 a week to take care of them while he went with the carnival to bring in some money. Gertrude had 7+ children of her own, and the Baniszewskis were also very poor with the home being filthy, in disarray, and lacking adequate food and sleeping arrangements but Lester had not known this when he left his daughters. Bennie and Danny were sent to live with their grandparents, and Dianna had been 19, married, and living on her own. What would happen during the months of June 1965 to October 1965 consist of unspeakable horrors which Sylvia and Jenny endured. Sylvia being punished far worse, enduring unimaginable torture by not only the Baniszewskis but other neighborhood children. Some say it is due to Gertrude and her oldest daughter, Paula's jealousy of Sylvia coupled with Gertrude not receiving on time payment from the Likens but nothing that Sylvia ever could have done would make her deserving of this torture, and ultimately, horrific death. Since then, the Likens family has been plagued by a series of tragedies, and this case is one that will never be forgotten in Indiana.

Harold Frederick Shipman (14 January 1946 – 13 January 2004), known to acquaintances as Fred Shipman, was an English general practitioner who is believed to be one of the most prolific serial killers in modern history. On 31 January 2000, he was found guilty of the murder of 15 patients under his care; his total number of victims was approximately 250. Shipman was sentenced to life imprisonment with the recommendation that he never be released.[4] He died by suicide, hanging himself in his cell at HM Prison Wakefield, West Yorkshire on 13 January 2004, a day before his 58th birthday. Sylvia Marie Likens (January 3, 1949 – October 26, 1965) was an American teenager who was tortured and murdered by her caregiver, Gertrude Baniszewski, many of Baniszewski's children, and several of their neighborhood friends. This abuse incrementally lasted for three months before Likens died from her extensive injuries and malnourishment on October 26 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Likens was increasingly neglected, belittled, sexually humiliated, beaten, starved, lacerated, and dehydrated by her tormentors. Her autopsy showed 150 wounds across her body, including several burns and receded skin. Through intimidation, her younger sister, Jenny, was occasionally forced to participate in her mistreatment. The official cause of her death was determined to be a homicide caused by a combination of subdural hematoma and shock, complicated by severe malnutrition.
Sylvia Likens was the daughter of two carnival workers who made a living selling food on the road. Due to frequent traveling, Sylvia's parents arranged for Sylvia and her sister to stay with a family friend named Gertrude Baniszewski. What occurred at the Baniszewski residence is considered to be one of the most horrific cases of child abuse ever recorded.

Trigger Warning – This episode contains references to physical, mental & emotional abuse.Eat a hearty breakfast and get those Kleenex ready! We get dark this week with a thoughtful, mostly serious and extra detailed (i.e. long-winded) analysis of the 1965 Gertrude Baniszewski/Sylvia Likens case as detailed in 2007’s An American Crime. This true crime story stars Eliot Page of The Umbrella Project and we wanted to give it the gravitas it deserves, since it’s a family relationship that is ACTUALLY worse than ours.We harken back to when Sylvia was living an idyllic life in a carnival setting UNTIL SHE DIDN’T! Due to family financial misfortunes, Sylvia and sister Jennie end up under the care of the Baniszewski family and oof this did NOT work out! Family and friends gaslight, falsely accuse and ultimately punish Sylvia in horrible fashion. (And yes despite our comments, we know Trump isn’t President anymore…shuuuuuuut it) Weird dreams!! Trashy boys AND girls!! Indiana at its finest!!! Will justice win out for Sylvia? Did Evan Winters have a 4-day “chubby” look that is generally overlooked by society? Why isn’t smoking and drinking while pregnant still cool? Can you bear to hear a SECOND true crime story as well?!?!

Sylvia Marie Likens (Lebanon, Indiana; 3 de enero de 1949 - Indianápolis, Indiana; 26 de octubre de 1965) fue una joven estadounidense, víctima de asesinato, maltrato, tortura y violación en Indianápolis, Indiana, en Estados Unidos. Fue torturada hasta la muerte durante cuatro meses por Gertrude Baniszewski y sus hijos, así como varios jóvenes y niños del vecindario, algunos de apenas 10 años de edad.1 Aunque muchos de los vecinos de la familia admitieron haber oído gritos y lamentos procedentes de la casa de Baniszewski, no se dio aviso a la policía porque se consideraba que era mejor no entrometerse. Cuando se dio a conocer el caso de Sylvia Likens en Estados Unidos, el país entero quedó horrorizado. Los médicos forenses describieron el caso como «el caso de abuso físico más terrible del estado de Indiana». https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGN_WSXRqBI
Sylvia was a beautiful 16 year old girl who, with her sister, was boarded with the Baniszewski family. Neither girl knew that they would both walk through that door but in a short 3 months one of them would not. A jealousy so deep that Gertrude was powerless to stop herself and the thing she set in motion once the first slap occurred. Join me as we kick on Season 2 with this multipart look at a case that rocked through the headlines in 1965 and produced one of the youngest convicted killers in Indiana state history.

*Disclaimer- this episode is a heavy one, and involves the abuse and murder of a child by adults and other children, so feel free to skip it if you have an intact moral compass.*Join us as we discuss the Caretaker of the Year back in 1965: Gertrude Baniszewski. She is most famous for the abuse, torture, and murder of 16 year old Sylvia Likens, but that’s not all there is to fangirl over about this terrible woman. Ms. Baniszewski was quite the catch romantically speaking, with her pill-popping zombie-eyed stare and smoker’s cough. Did I mention that she started a profitable business down in her basement by simply persuading impressionable youths into torturing a classmate yet? I didn’t? Well, you’ll just have to listen if you want to find out more and then cry a little while questioning if there even are any redeeming qualities in the whole damn human race.Be sure to subscribe/rate/review and why not go ahead and satisfy your curiosity and check out our Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/terriblepeopledoingterriblethings.

Baniszewski was born September 19, 1929 as Gertrude Wright, She was very close to her father but had a strained relationship with her monther. When Baniszewski was 11 she watched her dad die of a heart attack. She dropped out of school at 16 to marry 18 year old John Baniszewski. They had four kids together and he was abuse. Eventually Baniszewski divorced him. She then married someone new, divorced them and remarried Baniszewski and have two more kids. The pair was permanently divorced in 1963. Baniszewski then began to have an affair with a 23 year old named Dennis Lee Wright. He was also abusive. Baniszewski went on to have one more child with him. As she aged Baniszewski’s health declined. She was ill with a number of unidentified illnesses. She moved to Indianapolis, Indiana in the 1960s. She was very poor and would make money by watching neighborhood kids. This was how she ended up watching Sylvia Likens and her younger sister, Jenny. Their parents were on the road trying to make money and would leave the kids with her for months at a time. Sylvia was 16 at the time. Syliva was abused from the beginning, likely because she was attractive. She was punished for eating candy they she purchased, called a slut or whore while being kicked in the genitals. She would be given only scraps to ear or was forced to eat rotten food. Baniszewski also convinced other people in the neigborhood to engage in the torture. Baniszewski’s daughter, Paula, and a boy from the neighborhood, Randy, force fed her hot dogs and when she vomited they made her eat the vomit. At one point Paula hit Sylvia so hard that she broke her own wrist and then used the cast to keep beating her. The kids also practiced brutal judo moves on her. Baniszewski made Sylvia hit her own sister if she didn’t comply with any of the orders. Sylvia was also raped with an empty soda bottle, her gentials were cut up and mutilated. At one point, because she had nothing to wear, Sylvia stole clothes from school. She was then beat with a belt for her actions. The sisters were scared to report the abuse because they thought it would make things worse. Jenny was threatened that she would be beaten as well if she said anything. When their parents visited they didn’t see any signs of mistreatment. Baniszewski would stay with the girls, not letting them be alone with their parents. The two girls had an older sister that they did tell but she thought that they were exaggerating. Sylvia became incontient due to all of this abuse but wasn't allowed to use the bathroom. If she soiled herself she was punished. Eventually Baniszewski tied Sylvia up in the basement. She was kept down there naked and rarely fed or given water. People from the neighborhood could apy five cents to see her body and mutilate her. Salt was rubbed in her wounds and her screams were muffled. Baniszewski and her son rubbed urine and feces in her mouth. Her son then made her eat soup with her fingers but took the bowl away when she tried. Baniszewski then allowed Sylvia to sleep upstairs, on the condition that she not wet herself. Jenny secretly gave her sister water and Sylvia wet herself. She was punished by being made to mastrubrate with a soda bottle and was then put back in the basement. Baniszewski then branded the words "I'M A PROSTITUTE AND PROUD OF IT" on her abdomen with a heated needle. She then instructed one of the neighborhood children who was present at the time to finish. He would later claim that he only lightly etched the remaining letters. She continued to torture the girl, branding her more and taunting her. Baniszewski made Sylvia write a letter saying that she had run away with a group of boys and implying that they had tortured her. The plan was to take Sylvia into the woods and dump her body. On October 25th Sylvia tried to escape but Baniszewski caught her. She was then beat again and put back in the basement. By the morning of the 26th Sylvia couldn’

Get the commercial free version of each episode at WeirdDarkness.com/WEIRDO(Weekend Archive Episode originally aired May 11, 2018)Gertrude Baniszewski (1929–1990), also known as Gertrude Wright and The Torture Mother, was an Indiana divorcee who oversaw and facilitated the prolonged torture, mutilation, and eventual murder of Sylvia Likens, a teenage girl she had taken into her home. The case is unique in that, while Baniszewski did play an active role in Likens' death, the majority of the torture that eventually brought about Likens' demise was carried out by Baniszewski's teenage children and other neighborhood children. Although Baniszewski did instruct the children on several occasions, it was later discovered that they took a large degree of Likens' torture into their own hands, in what would later be called a Lord of the Flies scenario come to life. When she was convicted of first degree murder in 1965, the case was called "the single worst crime perpetuated against an individual in Indiana's history".SUPPORT THE PODCAST...Official Weirdos Entry: http://www.WeirdDarkness.com/WEIRDOCheck out the sponsors: http://www.WeirdDarkness.com/sponsorsAdvertise on Weird Darkness: call BG Ad Group at 770-874-3200 or email j.southerland@bgadgroup.comAudiobooks narrated by Darren Marlar: http://www.WeirdDarkness.com/audiobooksWeird Darkness merchandise: http://www.WeirdDarkness.com/storeWeird Darkness on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/weirddarknessDarren Marlar on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/darrenmarlarWeird Darkness Facebook page: http://www.Facebook.com/WeirdDarknessDarren Marlar Facebook page: http://www.Facebook.com/DarrenMarlarWeirdos Facebook Group: http://www.Facebook.com/groups/MarlarHouseSTORY CREDITS AND/OR SOURCES…“The Man in Room 1046” by Troy Taylor: http://bit.ly/2QJcZpW“My Mom’s Wake” by Pete Inesc: http://bit.ly/2EObXUE“Little Blue Ocean Cabin” posted at GhostsNGhouls.com (link no longer available)“The Torture Mother” posted at Murderpedia.org: http://bit.ly/2WfFAcm Music provided by EpidemicSound and AudioBlocks with paid license.
