S03E25: Cruelty in Numbers: The Greensburg Six Crimes Against Jennifer Daugherty

Listen for free

View show details

In February 2010, the quiet town of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, was shaken by a crime so senseless it defied logic. Jennifer Daugherty, 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.

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.

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.
