Case 64: Peter Weinberger
The Weinberger family was emblematic of 1950s suburban America. Husband and wife Betty and Morris lived in a modest home in Westbury, New York, where they were raising their two-year-old son Lewis and their newborn baby, Peter.
July 4, 1956, started just like any other day for the Weinberger’s. After feeding Peter his bottle, Betty put him down for a nap in his stroller. It was a warm summer’s day, so she parked the stroller on their front patio and then went inside. Just a few minutes later, Betty went to check on her son – but to her horror, Peter had vanished.

I hadn't heard of this case, so it was the first one in a while where i genuinely had no idea how it was going to end. Really terrible. I feel for the victims and the family of the person involved who had no idea #nospoilers
They are all disturbing but this one especially. That poor mother.
Such a sad case - victims all around
WARNING - "witness to an execution" The chilling retelling of the execution of Peter's killing was difficult to listen to. Perhaps a warning?
