About

Tragically, this sixteen-year-old girl became a victim of homicide at the hands of her temporary guardian, Gertrude Baniszewski, and two of Baniszewski's children (along with two neighborhood boys who assisted in the killing). The contributing factors in her death were shock, malnutrition from intentional starvation, and a traumatic brain injury.

Before Fame

Before she was murdered, Likens was tortured and starved by Baniszewski on numerous occasions. The abuse began when Likens' father was late on a babysitting payment to Baniszewski.
