in England where their actions would become most shocking behavior ever captured on camera. This is the Sabina and Ursula Erickson story. Hi, Megan. I hope you're ready for today. Buckle up. This is a wild one. Yeah. You've
Speaker 2
set a high standard.
Speaker 1
I hope you can meet it because you said the most shocking actions
Speaker 2
to be captured on camera. And I went, what happened here? I've never heard of it and I'm ready, but you know, you have a high goal.
Speaker 1
Yes. And I have to say the introduction, I do talk about the behavior captured on camera as being shocking, but there's many other things that happened in this case that may be equally as shocking as well, so. How
Speaker 2
did you find this one? That's
Speaker 1
a good question. So this case was suggested by a few listeners. I was trying to figure out a case to cover, so I go through our list. Yeah, of course. And this one popped up a couple of times. So I was reading into it. It is an international case, which I also wanted to do something international. So we'll kind of check that box. And here we are. And I'm glad I did, because this one's going to leave you thinking for a while.
Speaker 2
an intro like that, Amy, I'm ready.

All right. Sabina and Ursula Ericsson were twins born on November 3rd, 1967 in Suun, Sweden. They had two older siblings, Bjorn and Mona, and by all accounts they lived a normal life. Really, we don't know much about their parents or about their childhood at all, but I can tell you that they had no known history of juvenile delinquency, no known criminal convictions, and no known mental illness, which I think will be the most important part. As adults, Ursula relocated to the U .S. and Sabina lived in Mallow County Cork, Ireland with her husband and two children. Some reports say that this was her partner, not her official husband, and that these were her stepchildren. But so I'm not exactly sure.
