Description

The thing about serial killers is that it seems so obvious to us after the fact, right? Their behavior is so outrageous and so antisocial that we’re always left wondering why no one noticed. Eli Stutzman’s strange behavior was written off by everyone that knew him. He was quiet and odd, but being raised Amish, who could blame him? To the Amish, his time spent with the Englisch gave him some strange habits. No one really blinked when he stabbed himself in order to get himself out of a sticky situation. No one wondered about why he lied constantly. And perhaps if they did, Eli’s son and at least 4 other people would still be alive. This is part 2 of Left Where God Could Find Him: Amish Serial Killer Eli Stutzman.<br /><br />Heads up that there is some discussion of child abuse and child sexual abuse in this episode. We do not go into deep detail.<br /><br />Sources: <br />Gregg Olsen, Abandoned Prayers: An Incredible True Story of Murder, Obsession, and Amish Secrets<br /><a href="https://amishamerica.com/do-amish-believe-taking-a-photo-captures-their-souls/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://amishamerica.com/do-amish-believe-taking-a-photo-captures-their-souls/</a> <a href="https://www.ohiosamishcountry.com/articles/photography-and-the-amish" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.ohiosamishcountry.com/articles/photography-and-the-amish</a> <a href="https://www.ohiosamishcountry.com/articles/the-traditional-amish-youth-period-of-rumspringa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.ohiosamishcountry.com/articles/the-traditional-amish-youth-period-of-rumspringa</a> <a href="https://language.mki.wisc.edu/essays/pennsylvania-dutch/#:~:text=While%20most%20Amish%20and%20Old,Lutheran%20or%20German%20Reformed%20affiliation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://language.mki.wisc.edu/essays/pennsylvania-dutch/#:~:text=While%20most%20Amish%20and%20Old,Lutheran%20or%20German%20Reformed%20affiliation</a>.<br />Investigation Discovery's "Murder in Amish Country," episode "Amish Serial Killer"<br /><br />Follow us, campers!<br />Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): <a href="https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire</a><br /><a href="https://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/</a><br />Facebook: True Crime Campfire<br />Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/truecrimecampfire/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/truecrimecampfire/?hl=en</a><br />Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfire<br />Email: [email protected]<br />MERCH! <a href="https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support</a>.
