00:00What this woman did still leaves locals speechless 65 years later.
00:04In the small town of Goobersville, Indiana, in 1957, a chilling incident unfolded.
00:10Karen Noodleman, a 16-year-old girl with a troubled past, resided in a mental institution.
00:16Known for causing the tragic deaths of her family members,
00:19Karen had been declared dangerous after a lobotomy failed when she was just 13.
00:23One morning during a routine headcount, Karen was nowhere to be found.
00:27Panic spread through the asylum as doctors discovered a tunnel behind her Marilyn Monroe poster.
00:32The facility went into lockdown, and the police were immediately alerted.
00:35Fears grew for Karen's only surviving relative, her younger brother, who was living with their grandparents.
00:41Repeated attempts to contact the grandparents went unanswered, heightening the concern.
00:45In a race against time, authorities rushed to the grandparents' home.
00:49They banged on the front door, shouting,
00:50Police!
00:51but got no response.
00:53After several minutes, the door finally opened,
00:55but the person standing in the doorway wasn't who anyone expected.
