Show Notes
7-year-old Heaven was brought into the Budha House to be healed. The neighbors who brought her in tried to explain - she had been playing and hanging onto a bar when she fell and hit her head. She is now unconscious.
But the healers could just take one look at Heaven and know - the little girl is dead.
When Heaven’s mom finally sees Heaven’s little body - she finds something even more puzzling. Her mouth is filled with cement. Her autopsy shows she was assaulted “front and back” and had these weird little cuts all over her body.
On her neck, you could almost make out the 5 fingers that were wrapped around her. Suffocating her.
It feels like all the neighbors are in on some big conspiracy. Why do they keep insisting that she fell when it’s so clear she did not. What are they hiding?
Heaven’s mom is going to figure out what the hell happened to her daughter.
