00:00This American woman sold her children's organs to become rich.
00:03In 1972, in the town of Goobersville, Ohio,
00:07there was a woman named Anita Mann who lived in an old farmhouse.
00:10Neighbors, she was a struggling single mother of two, always keeping to herself.
00:15But behind closed doors, Anita was hiding something far more sinister.
00:20Anita had fallen deep into debt and turned to the black market for a way out.
00:25Slowly, her children, Layla and Dookie started getting sick.
00:28Doctors were baffled one by one.
00:31The children disappeared and Anita claimed distant relatives had taken them in.
00:35No one questioned her because times were hard.
00:38But whispers grew when townspeople noticed Anita's sudden wealth.
00:42New furniture, expensive jewelry, and even a shiny new car about six months later.
00:47Authorities captured a man who confessed to buying the children's organs.
00:50Anita was arrested and the only thing she said was,
00:53My children sacrifice themselves so I can live a good life.
00:56She was taken to court and sentenced to two years in prison.
01:00While being fined $3,000, the children's bodies were never found.
