Hi everyone I hope you all doing so well and welcome back to the criminal make-up podcast.

Each episode we dive into the minds of some of the worst criminals in history and this has to be one of the worst cases of child neglect I've ever come across, like, oh my God.

Details now in the House of Swaller in Blackstone, Massachusetts.

It's been several weeks since police found the remains of three...

Many unanswered questions as the horrific child neglect case and Blackstone unfolds.

New focus on who knew what?

They found out back in August that the three-year-old and six-month-old children living upstairs were his.

Today's case was one of those cases that when I was researching it I had to keep taking breaks because it was just too much and I just kept getting so angry and so worked up that I had to just like

keep walking away and like gather myself it's going to be a lot and the mother that is at the

center of this case gave birth to multiple babies in secret.

And she raised these babies in a locked room hidden from the world and they were kept in the most disgusting

inhumane filthy conditions that you have ever come across. It is truly

unbelievable some of the things that happen in today's case.

And the mother was Erica Murray. She definitely has to be up there with one of the people

I most dislike that we have covered on this channel because what Erica did to her own children and to animals. Yes, animals as well makes my blood boil.

But I think what adds to my anger when it comes to today's case is the complete

injustice of it all. So that is what we are going to be unfortunately talking about today, so let's

jump in. Erica Murray was born in 1983. I couldn't find an exact

birth date for her but from my research I figured out that she was born in either June or early July, which makes her either of Gemini or a cancer.

And growing up, Erica had a very normal happy childhood. She was described as a happy go lucky child. She lived in Northbridge, Massachusetts with her mom Sharon, her dad, Kevin and then her two brothers. Erica really got on with her brothers. They had a really close bond. They would always play together.

She loved playing hide and seek with her brothers and baseball. They would always be out in the garden, playing in their outdoor pool. Her dad was a mechanic and he was just like a real handyman. He was always doing like DIY projects around the house and her mom stayed at home most of the time and she worked on like a lot of arts and crafts and I think she sold that as well.

The family went on a lot of vacations every single year.
