After school on a Monday in 1912, a 13 year old girl arrived home to find that her house was not quite the way she left it. Her sister was no where to be found, there was blood in the kitchen sink, and she could just see a mess in the front room from the hallway. Once authorities arrived to little Harriet's home, the investigation very quickly focused in on another child, only a few years older.

Trigger warning: this episode includes graphic details read from a handwritten coroner's note composed at the crime scene. Listener discretion is advised.
