The Case of The Schonabaum Family Rat Infestation

Merry Christmas! In the wake of the holidays and Drewby's surgical recovery, we decided to release an episode that we recorded back in September that we thought was lost. This week, we discuss the case of the Schonabaum family from Indiana who kept their house in such a state of squalor that their 6-month-old baby boy was eaten alive by the rats that infested their home.
