True Crime
It is one of the most horrendous crimes in the annals of American history, the systematic abuse, torture, and eventual murder of an innocent 16-year-old, whose only crime was that she provoked the ire of the woman tasked with caring for her.

What makes this crime even more appalling is that the torture was carried out by at least a dozen neighbourhood children, some as young as ten. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/crimes-of-yore/message
