IN THIS EPISODE: We\u2019ll look at the disturbing case of Dee Dee Blanchard who suffered from a horrible mental condition that caused her to torture her daughter \u2013 and we\u2019ll look at similar, terrifying cases of other people doing the same to those under their care and supervision. It\u2019s the sinister truth of Munchausen by proxy. (The Disturbing Truth Behind \u2018Mommy Dead and Dearest\u2019) (Other True Cases of Munchausen by Proxy) *** It was 1909, and Bud and Temple Abernathy rode their horses, just the two of them, from Oklahoma to Santa Fe\u2026 and then made the return trip home. A 1,300-mile horseback trip. Big deal you say? That\u2019s what life was like back then, you say? What if I told you that Bud was only 9 years old, and Temple was only five? (The Astounding Adventures of the Abernathy Boys) *** (Originally aired January 26, 2021)
