  Speaker 1: This American woman is not as innocent as she looks.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: In July 13, 1954, in Indiana, Ima Hogg kidnapped two
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of her own children, who were taken from her and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: were given to her ex-husband. She had lost custody of
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: them because she wasn't able to provide for them, and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: doctors had diagnosed her as mentally unstable. So on that day,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: she went to her ex-husband's house, disguising the visit as
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: just checking up on her children, but she had a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: much more sinister plan. The husband, Charles Drooler, opened the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: door and invited her in to see the children. What
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: happened next would haunt the town forever. She waited until
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the children were asleep, then convinced Charles to share one
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: final drink to let go of the past. Moments later,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: he collapsed to the floor and knocked unconscious. Ima carried
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the sleeping children, Sheila and Dookie, out to her car
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and vanished. Days turned into weeks with no sign of them.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Months later, the police tracked her to an abandoned shed
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: deep in the woods. Inside were two small coffins, each
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: sealed and written on them, safe with mother. The coffins
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: were opened, and what was in there is the stuff
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of nightmares. Ima was found and was sentenced to execution,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and her last words were, I will meet them in heaven.
