About this episode
The episode explores the mysterious events surrounding the tragic incident at Saint Rose's Orphanage in Kentucky, where all staff were found dead and the children went missing.
In 2017, the tragic events at Saint Rose's Orphanage in Kentucky shocked the community. The entire staff, including house mothers, housekeepers, workers, and security personnel, were discovered deceased and mutilated. Strikingly, all the children were missing. Early in the investigation, authorities found a tape recording that captured some of the harrowing incidents. According to reports, the tape suggested that the children were manipulated into committing the murders by one of the house Mothers. Some speculate that this woman is the notorious exopath known as "Mother-May-I," rumored to have a sinister influence over children and the ability to control them to carry out violent acts. However, the involvement of this individual has not been officially confirmed or denied by law enforcement. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
