The Indianapolis Police Department’s Chief of Homicide called it “the most sadistic act I ever came across,” and today the murder of Sylvia Likens is still considered to be one of the most terrible crimes to occur in Indiana, even after half a century has passed.

She was sprawled on a filthy mattress with cuts, bruises, and burns covering most of her body, and it was apparent to the police that something horrendous has happened within the house.
