Daniel LaPlante Invented Phrogging | Ep 6

from Mugshot Mornings

Today’s episode revolves around the infamous case of Daniel LaPlante and his shocking act of "phrogging" in someone's home. Daniel LaPlante's case is one of American history's most chilling and bizarre criminal stories. Born in 1970, LaPlante's troubled childhood, marred by abuse and neglect, set the stage for his disturbing behavior. As a teenager in the mid-1980s, LaPlante's criminal activities escalated from petty theft to breaking into homes, culminating in the terrifying harassment of the Bowen family in Townsend, Massachusetts. His actions took a darker turn in 1987 when he brutally murdered Priscilla Gustafson and her two young children in their home. LaPlante's case continues to captivate and horrify, serving as a grim reminder of the depths of human depravity. Inevitably, he started the trend of phrogging without even meaning to.
