Summary

*This minisode, formerly available only to Patreon subscribers, was originally released on June 12, 2021. Since I'm no longer creating these, I’ll occasionally release them to the public for all my listeners to enjoy. I didn’t realize until I re-listened how fast I talked back then; sorry about that!*

On the morning of February 28, 2020, a young mother summoned Milwaukee police to her home, where her 4-year-old daughter, Autumn Horak, was unresponsive. Autumn, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was found wearing only a diaper and covered in injuries, including multiple bruises, a burn, and even a human bite mark.

This is the tragic story of Autumn Horak.
