About this episode

The episode discusses the tragic case of Waneta Hoyt, who was investigated for the deaths of her five children, initially attributed to SIDS.

Please listen to this 2021 members-only episode about sudden infant infant deaths which were determined to be homicide. We will be covering a new, similar case in May and I think listening to this episode is a good prequel. In 1985, authorities in New York State arrested a father who they believed had murdered his three children. In the course of the investigation, they became aware of a mother who claimed to have lost five children to SIDS. Thinking this was highly unlikely, they opened an investigation into the family. First, the family needed to be identified. Once this was done, the investigation of Waneta Hoyt moved right along, culminating in her trial for murder in 1995. Join us at the quiet end for Not Again! Waneta Hoyt’s Babies . This story of SIDS or infanticide or Munchausen by Proxy took many twists and turns before justice was done. At the heart of this story is the tragic and unnecessary end of five young lives and the question of how it took five suspicious deaths before Waneta Hoyt was stopped.
