Description
In February 2010, the quiet town of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, was shaken by a crime so senseless it defied logic. <b>Jennifer Daugherty</b>, a 30-year-old woman known for her kind heart and trusting nature, thought she was spending time with friends. Instead, she walked into a trap that would lead to one of the most harrowing cases of group-think and depravity in modern history. <br /><br /><br />A group of six people she met and befriended at a place called West Place Clubhouse held Jennifer hostage in an apartment they all shared on North Pennsylvania Avenue for almost 2 days while they brutally tortured and humiliated her due to one group member's jealousy. The group ultimately decided to kill Jennifer, dismember her, and place her remains in a trash can which they placed in the parking lot of a nearby middle school. <br /><br /><br />This case brought to light the frequent exploitation and abuse that individuals with intellectual disabilities often face and helped push a law into effect that allows witnesses of crimes to be charged if they don't report the crimes. <br /><br /><br /><b>Sources</b><br /><b></b><br /><a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/20-7805/192791/20210917150855515_knight%20US%20S%20Ct%20brief.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Supremecourt.gov </a><br /><a href="https://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/Supreme/out/J-24-2020mo%20-%20104607661120024229.pdf?cb=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PAcourts.us (2020)</a><br /><a href="https://www.post-gazette.com/news/crime-courts/2022/05/31/angela-marinucci-greensburg-six-youngest-re-sentence-life-prison-jennifer-daugherty-torture-murder/stories/202205310099" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Post Gazette (2022) </a><br /><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/wbna35370263" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBC News (2010) </a><br /><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrime/comments/mtno1v/jennifer_daugherty_was_stabbed_to_death_on/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">r/TrueCrime (2022) </a><br /><br /><b>Audio/Docs </b><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/nc9Hf7pnFqQ?si=GBAWMK4HEz0beccD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Very Local |YouTube| Hometown Tragedy: The Twisted Horror of the Greensburg 6</a><br /><br />Cruel Intentions: Frenemies: Loyalty Turned Lethal (2013) <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dark-deeds--6216218/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dark-deeds--6216218/support</a>.
