The Sylvia Likens case is "the single worst crime perpetuated against an individual in Indiana's history."

When the dust settled, police made the shocking discovery that the couple murdered Troy only for the thrill of it. Miranda claimed she was the most prolific female serial killer in the US, but it was only a ploy to get attention.
