The True Crime Fan Club Podcast & The Bone Palace Ballet Podcast have creatively joined forces to bring you this unique crossover episode. While a departure from our original format, we are hoping to bridge our listeners together to hear the sad cases of Sylvia Likens & Erica Parsons.

The murder of Sylvia Likens and Erica Parsons though decades apart have striking similarities. They were both abused and murdered by people who were charged with their care. Their abuse was witnessed by strangers, neighbors, friends, or close family members and still, no one spoke up.

The silence of the ongoing and tortuous abuse would lead to their sad deaths. It is our hope with this episode that you are courageous enough to speak up if you recognize the signs of abuse.

Our respective shows to honor the memory of Sylvia Likens & Erica Parsons have donated to:  http://preventchildabuse.org/  Our donations will go directly to assisting this organization meet it’s mission of preventing child abuse in America.  Please consider making a donation to this organization.

David Elliot Penton was a sadistic child predator. He stalked his victims until the moment was right. His hunting ground? Just a few miles from where I grew up in North Dallas. This real life boogeyman was every parents worst nightmare. Unable to satiate his urge to murder, David would leave families and the victims who survived, irreparably damaged.
