About this listen
Welcome to SIC PART TWO
Just one year after terrorizing a family from inside their walls, Daniel LaPlante’s crimes escalated to something even more horrifying. In December 1987, in the small town of Townsend, Massachusetts, a husband returned home to find the most horrific scene. The investigation revealed a trail of stolen guns, matching bullets, and chilling evidence — all leading back to the boy once mistaken for a ghost. This half of the story unravels the brutal murders of the Gustafson family and the trial that finally put Daniel LaPlante behind bars.
