On the night of January 10, 1992, 12-year-old Shanda Sharer was lured from her home by a group of teenage girls with a sinister plan. What began as a case of jealousy and heartbreak quickly spiraled into an unthinkable act of cruelty. Driven by rage and obsession, four young women carried out one of the most shocking crimes in Indiana’s history. In this episode, we explore the twisted motivations, the tragic final hours of Shanda’s life, and the devastating impact her murder had on her family and community. How did teenage emotions turn into unimaginable violence? And could this brutal crime have been prevented?
