We bring you a new episode of Murder Monday and this week we take a closer look at Gertrude Banizzewski and the murder of Sylvia Likens. The abuse continued throughout the hot summer. However, the abuse seemed to be exclusively on Sylvia. Many believe that this was due to jealousy by Gertrude because of Sylvia’s good looks and potential in life. Many times Sylvia was denied access to the bathroom and was forced to eat garbage out of the trash can among other heinous things.

Gertrude even had her very own children get in on the abuse. On one specific occasion, Sylvia was stripped of her clothing and thrown into the basement of the home where she was barely fed and beaten by Gertrude and her children.
