It was supposed to be a celebration—her tenth birthday. Instead, Victoria Martens spent her final night on earth in a nightmare no child should ever endure. Strangled, dismembered, and set on fire, Victoria’s death wasn’t just a crime - it was an indictment of every missed red flag, every broken system, and every adult who failed her…including her own mother.

This episode unpacks the unthinkable; not just the brutality of the homicide itself, but the lies, cover-ups, and systemic negligence that essentially let it happen. This is a devastating case that will shake you, haunt you, and force you to ask: how do we live in a world that allowed this little girl to die like that?

Trigger Warning: This episode contains graphic discussions of child abuse, sexual violence, and murder. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
