They Heard Her Scream: The Babysitter Legend Was Based on a Real Crime

A quiet house. A sleeping child. And a babysitter who never made it through the night. In 1950, 13-year-old Janett Christman was brutally murdered while babysitting in Missouri—her body found near a phone off the hook, a shotgun untouched, and a radio still playing. The prime suspect? A family friend with no alibi, creepy comments about Janett, and a mechanical pencil like the one that could have been used to puncture her skin. He was never charged and decades later, the case is still unsolved. Did Robert Mueller plan the perfect crime and get away with it, or was the killer somebody else? #TrueCrimeRecaps #JanettChristman #UnsolvedMurder #Babysitter #robertmueller Thank you to our new Tier 2 members for their support: Bee Hives and Homicides Blue Julia Thrasher Kel Mary Reinhardt Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @truecrimerecaps   SUBSCRIBE TO THE YOUTUBE SHOW!
