I grew up in Indianapolis, moving there in 1976 when I was 4. After being beaten and tortured over a period of about three months by Gertrude Baniszewski (pronounced Ban-E-chess-ski), her children and even neighborhood children Sylvia died Octoin the Baniszewski home at the age of 16 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Sylvia Marie Likens was born January 3, 1949. Most importantly, for me, maybe because it happened in my hometown, or maybe because it was such a horrible and uncalled for crime, I want this to be about remembering Sylvia and what happened to her, as well about the time period, and less about the abusers in her case. Secondly, if I were to do it like I normally do I am not sure too much would be under disputed facts.
For one, it is an older case (1965 to be exact). I plan to do this case a little different than the others.
