WIBC news report 1985 Gertrude Baniszewski Sylvia Likens

[msvick66]

This is when a "Dexter" would have been handy. Alternately, just serve her up to one of the worst serial killers of women and let him have at her. Here's a freebie...make it good.

[xswaginabagbruhxx]

Gerty is a damn SHAME .

I'm HAPPY SHE DIED 5 YRS LATER AFTER SHE GOT OUT.

Fuck this bitch .

Sylvia was an angel !

-__-

[ECCO767]

This four-eyes creature never was pleasant to me. A bough! You enrage me!

[ECCO767]

Interesting, what for it has replaced a name? After all people all have remembered her face. What's the big idea?

[mickoneill90]

there is no justice for slyvia these bastards should have been dowsed in petrol and burned alive

[ThePuppie1]

Gertrude if u were still alive I'll kill u in a heartbeat I'll do the same thing u did to Sylvia Gertrude u are a bitch burn in hell

[lubui2583]

@ThePuppie1 thats great. im sure she read this message on youtube from hell.

[ydaltarf]

@ThePuppie1 They would have sent her to the gallows!

[ECCO767]

@ThePuppie1 If you have killed her, you would plant. And to whom you would make worse? Only to itself

[ThePuppie1]

Gertrude if u were still

[princess8379]

i don't care if she "found God" in prison, if she did, then she should stay in prison & be a Christian witness there, not get rewarded. Nobody knows for sure if she really "found God" or not, a lot of people would use that as an excuse just to get out of prison

[princess8379]

I would like to take my dogs to where she is buried just so they can "do their business" on her grave

[ECCO767]

@princess8379 Faugh! As it is awful!

[Intocable8306]

If Gertie was still around today I bet her new name wouldn't keep her safe for long. I wouldn't hesitate to track the bitch down and torture her like she did Sylvia old woman or not. I have a few cigarettes I'd love to light just to put out on the bitch if she were still alive. It would be worth an assault charge on my record to give Sylvia a little justice our messed up court system couldn't do.

[lovespace6]

sooo fucking great! Gerty KNOWS she's the one who caused sylvia's death, and she's telling a different story! HOW FUCKING BRILLIANT!

[oceanzy1983]

Although Richard Hobbs is dead, I still want to beat the crap out of this fucker

[JWOWW7887]

Guys..Richard Hobbs is dead. He died at age 21 wth lung cancer.

[melsbeautytells]

I thought she died in prison.

[melsbeautytells]

GRANTED PAROLE WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!

[melsbeautytells]

Gertrude is soo fucking incredible! i can't believe she is sitting there blaming other people and happy to put the blame on her own daughter. She probably told Paula to hit her anyway. Are there any documentaries talking to gertrude apart from this one? I'd love to know more about this case.. i've read books but wanna know more about the offenders.

[indychauffuer]

@melsbeautytells Several months ago there was a discussion on the Facebook group "Old Time long missed Indy businesses and forgotten history" about this. One member mentioned when she was younger she got a job at I think Mcdonalds, and Richard Hobbs was working there after being released from prison. He started to have a crush on her, and this person's mother drove down and made her quit her job because he worked there

[melsbeautytells]

@indychauffuer wow. So do you know how many of them have been released? I don't even know how he got a job!

[ECCO767]

@indychauffuer Truth? Wow!

[ECCO767]

@melsbeautytells I will disagree with you! Гертруда didn't strike Paulu to beat Silviju, Paula beat it, without command of her mother.

[ydaltarf]

@melsbeautytells Electric chair=justice for Sylvia

[ECCO767]

@ydaltarf Gertrude too good lawyer has got, therefore it haven't planted an electric chair. This the first. The second: at it was seven children. The third: it recognized as deranged. The fourth: its health was very weak, it had a weight weight nearby 55 kg.

[ECCO767]

@melsbeautytells I do not know as you, but I accuse Paula more, than Gertrude

[kylas124]

@melsbeautytells there was a movie called An American Crime

[ennuikiller]

Paid for her crime????? Are you fucking kidding???? Even if she spent eternity in hell she wouldnt have paid for what she did to that poor girl!!!!

[TheRyanlee59]

shoot that bitch

[modadivine]

paid 4 her crime, hardly. when abusing, torturing and causing the death of someone u should sped the rest of your days punished locked up in a cell.

[Mannypacquia0]

@modadivine yeah and also with that, she shouldve gotten for the rest of her life sentence atlest, angery people that were pissed off at her and outraged, to continuely while shes locked up, threaten her, and just massively humiliate her until she herself wants to commit suicide

[heyhey2765]

"she refused food! she wouldnt take it."

SEE?? she wanted to starve and be beaten sir!

I swear i could cut this guys balls off..although he prob doesnt have em.

[nicoelliot]

@owg59, SHE**

[Chr0n05Eve]

RIP Sylvia Likens!! You are now in heaven and with the ones you love!!!!

BURN IN HELL GERTRUDE I hope you get paid back with 10x the torture that Sylvia went threw for eternity!!!! You killed a sweet innocent girl who did nothing wrong, you horrible, heartless, physcopathic witch!!!!!

[ilovepuddles2]

I wonder if the moron on the parole board who believes people can change would've let Gertrude watch HER kids???!!!!

[GirlsReyna]

NIGGA SAID FORGIVE AND FORGET SMH THE GIRL IS (DEAD) YOU DONT COME BACK FROM THAT!! ARE THOSE PEOPLE CRAZYY LETTING THAT BITCH LOSE I HOPE SHE DIES! THE SAME WAY OR WORSE SHE DESERVES IT

[kronikkatlyn]

@GirlsReyna

she did die. like 5 years after she was released she died of lung cancer.

[GirlsReyna]

WTF! THAT BITCH NEEDS SOMEONE TO FUCK HER UP RT. ILL BE GLAD TO.

R.I.P SYLVIA LIKENS

[MegaCrazycatt]

"they offered her soup once in a while but she refused." What an a**hole. You know, if someone goes without food long enough, you actually get to the point where you do not want food. Also, I'm sure with all the torture she was depressed

[MistressKim]

@MegaCrazycatt Not only that, she could of thought it was poisoned after everything they did to her. I still cannot believe how dumb these people were. Like nearly every child in that neighborhood knew about, or participated in Sylvia's torture and had absolutely no common sense to tell an authority figure, or even an adult for that matter. It's absolutely sickening. This murdered happened so long ago, but the details are still fresh in our minds, because it's so inhumane. God bless Sylvia.

[melsbeautytells]

@MegaCrazycatt Ive read a book and i think it was because she actually had kidney and abdominal damage and also she suffered great brain damage... she probably physically couldn't eat :(

[NomoMariguasDj]

i hope she's burning in hell

[ManicMonkey84]

Now multiply Gertrude by 10 million and you now have an idea of what it was like in Nazi Germany.

[ECCO767]

@ManicMonkey84 Don't compare nazis to Gertrude. Nazis killed in millions times more people

[x3xhottiechikx2x]

*one of the worst abuse and murder crimes in American history*

[x3xhottiechikx2x]

Regardless if someone changes or not, she still deserves to pay for her crime for the rest of her life, I don't care if she's changed into the best person in the world, it's irrelevant! The punishment needs to fit the crime and spending just 20 years in prison is not enough justice for one of the worst crimes in American history!!!!

[x3xhottiechikx2x]

and in their interviews they're so cold and are actually being defensive!?!? Really?!?! And how did this woman get paroled? The one woman on the parole board said it was because she believes people can change!!!

[JojoplusBo]

@x3xhottiechikx2x I wonder if that lady on the parole board would actually have a different view if SHE had witnessed what was done to Sylvia -if SHEwas the one recovering the remnants of poor Sylvias broken body from that basement...makes me wonder! I can NOT forgive those that did this to this beautiful girl...NEVER!

This 'gertie THING' should have got 'life... never to be released! imo

[x3xhottiechikx2x]

This case absolutely infuriates me!!! I can't believe that this could happen to a human being by not just ONE sick individual but the fact that is was MULTIPLE people is so disgusting beyond words....

[koolkol009]

I know that the Lord has forgiven me' I believe that your Lord is an evil Satan because you are protected by terrorist christians!!!No your real Lord will cast you in hell bitch!

[koolkol009]

christians Priests is releasing a terrorist into town.!!!No justice because for the victim hey!!

[DiGiTiLsOuLhOpLiTe]

I honestly wish I could transport back in time and protect Sylvia, as I'm sure most of you wish as well. The thought of saving her just keeps rotating in my mind, I can't sleep thinking about the shit hole of a world we live in. Maybe it's getting better...but think, it's only in the last 111 years that we came to this realization that PEACE is good. It took two major world wars and the threat of nuclear annihilation for us to wake the fuck up. Prior to that we had people hung and burned alive..

[lucia8885]

"Forgive and forget?" It is ok to forgive, but that doesn't mean that justice must break itself and make an exception. It is important to show the society that if you commit a horrible crime, you will pay for it as harshly as possible, so that people would think twice before commiting a crime. Forget? We should NEVER forget this crime, in order to take the precautions necessary to avoid a tragedy again.

[ADenny12]

GB was so physically sick, yet she managed to live through 20 years of prison, dying roughly 5 yrs after release. She got better treatment in prison & out than poor little Sylvia did in her house. GB got religion-don't they all when they want to get out? Then parole board said upon release that they would supervise her maybe no longer than 1 yr? And under her old name? Lazy-all of them. Lack of justice. She should have died in prison. She was a sadist psycho killer & they don't change.

[imadokieve13]

"Shoot that bitch !" 

[scumgod13]

Richard Hobbs died at age 21 from lung cancer. Hope it was painful.

[ydaltarf]

@scumgod13 She was probably poisoned.

[drums4b]

All those bags of shit kids in the neighborhood that came over and tortured Sylvia. If I come in contact with any of you 'fucks' Satan himself won't be able to help you.

[angellicvoices]

Its funny how justice is lenient to the criminal than the crim to her victim. Gertrude got 3 meals a day, a bed, shower, no torture. While Sylvia got hell and tortured to death.

[stitchesful]

@angellicvoices That's true, but I did hear that Gertrude did get tortured by other inmates while she was in prison. I don't know for certain if that's true or not, but I did read that somewhere. It still was probably nothing compared to the torture that Sylvia endured, but hopefully it was still something.

[Phrankster163]

Everyone over 13 who helped kill Sylvia should have been given life sentences.

[stitchesful]

@Phrankster163 I agree. It's too bad that they didn't.

[rumorguy555]

I'm glad this bitch was on "Deadly Women", especially because she was under the Born Bad episode

[godnothing666]

I hope someone tortures her to death! Hopefully she gets really bad cancer

[23bambam23]

@godnothing666 she died of lung cancer in 1990...if only they had given her 25 years instead of 20...maybe she would have died as soon as she walked out of the prison.

[blueidangel74]

Gertrude claims she never tortured Sylvia or hurt her in any way...yet Charles Manson never harmed any of the people he had his "family" kill either & he is JUST AS GUILTY AS GERTRUDE IS!!! This woman never should have got out on parole...this only proves the justice system was as screwed up back then as it is now! It's pathetic!

[chirese387]

This stupid..no good bitch got the fuck out of jail...what the fuck kind of justice system do we have...this bitch didn't have the right to see the light of day outside the prison walls...there is a such thing as forgive and forget but there is no way in HELL she should have been able to gt out of jail..this stupid bitch will burn in HELL...Lord forgive me for what i am saying but this womans soul is beyond saving

[chirese387]

i feel like all these kids should have been out in prison for life....they all knew right from wrong and if they thought they would get the same they could have easily over powered their mother

[DarkxKittenxofxDeath]

Two words 'death penalty'. Every single one of Gertrude's children and herself deserve to die for what they have done! I'm pissed that she got off jack free, but I'm content with the fact that her and her daughter got cancer and died in the end!!!

[chirese387]

@DarkxKittenxofxDeath i agree with u but i also disagree with u...only because i think death would be to easy for them..... giving them all life in prison will give them time to suffer and think

[KIDFRESH1592]

shoot that bitch

[junkyturd]

It's really fucked up, they have no remorse at all like it's something they do to people every day type thing

[nicolesax17]

hobbs is a fucking asshole. like "all i did..." he needs to get that done to him. fucking dickface.

[ECCO767]

@nicolesax17 Hobbs a callous creature! I with you completely agree!

[Furbalicious9000]

I heard she had I'm a prostitute and I'm proud on her stomach

[nicolesax17]

@Furbalicious9000 she got it burned in her skin on her stomach by gertrude, and hobbs

[EmmyRossumFan94]

Its mostly Females who fall victims in crimes like this then males and its sad three innocence girls who never hurt anyone in anyway all died in horrible ways. Rest in Peace, Aurore Gagnon, Sylvia Likens, and Junko Furuta. :) You are all in heaven now with God and his people, they won't let anyone hurt you again ever.

[EmmyRossumFan94]

This reminds me of Junko Furuta's death and Aurore Gagnon's death all three of these girls died of a lot of injuries, Sylvia had 300 burns on her body and was starved. Aurore was killed by blood poisoning and she went through a lot like Sylvia did and finally Junko, was raped by objects like Sylvia and she was also raped by the people who kidnapped her.

[cheryl7289]

@mustwinder maybe they should have hung her by something.

[cheryl7289]

this ugly witch should have got the death penalty. it makes me sick how they got off so lightly. where is the justice? i've heard about drug dealers who got more time than this evil woman. i personally think the punishment should fit the crime. you can be sorry and forgiven, but that doesn't mean she should've been released.

[mommamissi31]

Ugh Gertie is sickening. She is trying so hard to dig the lies out of her ass. She keeps stuttering and tripping over her words..... what an evil hag.

[MegaCrazycatt]

Why does this woman find the need to LIE??? I mean seriously, SOMEONE tortured this girl IN HER HOUSE, and she had NOTHING to do ith it???? Really????? Now if she did not have anything to do with it, why did she not stop it?

[amazed92]

Minister calls for "the community to forgive and forget".

There is an old saying "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it".

And I think the minster should have remembered that it is up to God to forgive

[jketcham]

Why did I hear to "do do" sounds at 7 minutes in?

[philbateman1989]

To be honest, I'm happier that the woman was in prison for 20 years then died painfully from lung cancer rather than having a quick death from exectution. The guy who says he carved the writing on her stomach died aged 21 from lung cancer too. I'd say they got what they deserved. Now if Baniszewski had died in prison from lung cancer I'd call it fair, but it's close enough.

[abdulqudz89]

the justice system is a fucking shambles. i personally think gertrude should've got the death penalty and the rest should've got whole life term tariffs. (life sentence with no parole)

[mtl1865]

THATS RICKY HOBBS NOT ONE OF THE BANISZESKI CHILDREN AND THE MURDER HAPPENED IN OCTOBER NOT MAY

[KaylaS999]

What's the point of changing your name if everybody is going to know you changed it and what your original real name is?

[lisatina69]

Typical white American justice . Why such a evil, demonic ,animal like this, can't get the death penalty ? Just like Casey Anthony and others like her, because she's WHITE.!! that it.

[donniehitler]

@lisatina69 yes and a women if it was a guy they wood have give him the death penalty p,s gertrude and all her kids can eat shit

[onefeather2]

The one's who let this woman out should be shot, along with gertrude. There is no real justice in the courts then or now.

[rees276]

I don't believe in the death penalty. but what a shame somebody didn't get her when she was in prison ....

[owg59]

Richard Hobbs sounds like a total moron. He did what he did, "because Gertie told me to." And he couldn't have figured out that burning or beating another human being, especially a girl, might not be the right thing to do? What a putz.

[amazed92]

@owg59 - it's pack mentality - Gertrude was the pack leader and they did what she said

Think concentration camps - "I was ordered to do it" doesn't wash in the cold light of day

[MonsieurRondu]

@owg59 Agreed. He's a fucking idiot liar who had every goddamn chance to save Sylvia's life. He was a teenage boy, way stronger and faster than the chronically underweight Gertrude. He could have easily overpowered her and helped Sylvia escape but he didn't, and you know why? Because he enjoyed watching her suffer.

"oh no but it's because Gertie told me to" bullshit.

[MegaCrazycatt]

@owg59 What I think is scary about him is how cold he is about retelling the story about what he did to her. "I ONLY hit her 10 or 20 times, and carved the letters into her." He ONLY.

[Dreamflower6]

@owg59 No kidding...is that asshole still alive?

[owg59]

@Dreamflower6 No, he died of cancer a few years later.

[FolkBoyify]

@owg59 Especially a girl..Girls aren't more important that boys, ya know

[owg59]

@FolkBoyify I didn't mean to imply they were. It's simply that, when I was his age, I was taught that boys don't hit girls, and if they did, they were cowards. No one, male or female, should have been subjected to what Sylvia went through, and Mr. Hobbs knew better, but was too big a coward (or too weak) to do the right thing and stand up to Gertrude, instead of going along with the abuse.

[MrDadthetigers]

See Sylvia didn't get justice at all

[amazed92]

@MrDadthetigers - they always say the good die young, but they never say those who are evil live longer.

I guess that a long life was the deal she made with the devil when she tortured that lovely young girl to death

[reidrules45]

@MrDadthetigers Actually, she did. Gertrude confessed before she died of lung cancer to the torture and murder of Sylvia Likens. She'd been lying to everyone for 25 years.

[3aeshaah]

According to the media:

Gertrude Baniszewski = Mentally Unstable.

Josef Fritzl = Monster.

Both tortured their relatives in the basement. The only difference is their gender.

This woman should have been locked up for life.

[Clwsfan864]

@3aeshaah Sylvia was never related to that bitch

[rees276]

@3aeshaah There are too many people who get away with hideous crimes because they claim to be unstable or under the influence of drugs.If everyone who had mental health problems went out and tortured other people or animals to death, we would drown in the bloodbath that ensued... Baniszewski was

a sadistic bitch who just happened to suffer from depression and drug addiction (who cares) She should never have been released from jail.

[stitchesful]

How could they have done this? WHY, PEOPLE WHY? AND HOOOWWWWWW?

[rees276]

What was going through the minds of the idiots who released that bitch?????

[creeper2312]

11:32 Shoot that bitch!!!

[Clwsfan864]

@creeper2312 that is too kind

[scorpietta]

Those idiots on the parole board had probably never lost anyone in such a manner or they would have most likely voted differently.

[4crazy1chick2]

All of these people involved should have been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole! Sylvia is not being given a second chance at her life! We all hear your cries now Sylvia. R.I.P. Sweet little Angel.

[moelhugo]

Bitch!!
