28. The Hollandsburg Massacre

GUYS! This is by far the biggest crime case in Indiana that you've never heard of. On Valentine's Day in 1977, four men broke into a small Parke County mobile home, to carry out the heinous thrill killings now known as the Hollandsburg Massacre. Betty Jane Spencer was forced to lie on the ground next to four of her children as the men fired shots into their bodies. Spencer somehow managed to survive the brutal attack, share her story, and help put the killers behind bars. P.S.: There's about 10 minutes of Vanderpump Rules gossip at the end of the episode, serving as your palette cleanser for the week. We love you guys!!
