Crime Cafe

Today, we're telling a story that no one is ready for. A story no one wants to know is real. Today we're telling multiple stories about one person... a babysitter. And how she was able to kill and kill and get away with it.. almost. This is the story of the murders of Nima Louise Carter, Mary Elizabeth Carpitcher, and the attempted murder of Augustine Carpitcher. If not the baby sitter, who can we trust with our children?
