Was born and raised in Indiana. I read about this when I was in middle school in the Indianapolis Star. Made me sick on how Sylvia was treated. Surprisingly, Gertrude Banazewski was released on parole in 1985 and she moved to Iowa. Nothing was mentioned about her being released, only a blurb a few pages in about her dieing from lung cancer and mentioned about her being released 5 years earlier.
Today, Sylvia would be about 61 years old.
Gertrude Baniszewski should of been executed. I don’t know what is up with Indiana? I thought it was a conservative state for the most part. This scumbag ranks right up there with Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler, and Joseph Stalin.
