MURDERED: Sylvia Likens
Sylvia Likens was a happy, beautiful 16-year-old when her parents left her and her sister in the care of Gertrude Baniszewski while they went on the road for work. Within a few short months, Sylvia was beaten, humiliated, and ultimately left to die from neglect and severe abuse. The abuse was inflicted by not only Gertrude, but the Baniszewski children and neighborhood kids as well.
