MURDERED: Helen Sebastian
In February 1983, 52-year-old Helen Sebastian puts a roast in the oven and walks out the door, and that’s the last time anyone in her family ever sees her. Until just a month later, her body parts start appearing across Racine, Wisconsin… Over the years, detectives chase one lead after another – leading them to men who knew Helen, whispers of cult activity during the height of the Satanic Panic, and a strange coincidence or maybe even a solid connection that Ashley can’t stop spiraling on. Listen now and let us know your thoughts on the unsolved 1983 murder of Helen Sebastian.
