When the Magad family welcomed an orphaned girl named Janice into their home, they thought they were giving her the gift of love and a second chance at life. But kindness turned to horror when Janice’s jealousy and obsession with belonging led to one of the most gruesome and shocking murder cases in Philippine history. Her story eerily mirrors the movie Orphan (2009) — except this time, it wasn’t fiction.
In this episode, you’ll learn how a desperate Facebook post became the first sign of tragedy, how chilling forensic evidence revealed the truth, and how a 17-year-old girl orchestrated the murder of the very family who took her in. This is the story of Janice Magad, the adopted daughter who turned love into death.
