Send us a textThe quietest murderer in Ohio history wasn't a mastermind, but a misunderstood mind. Born in 1873, Ceely Rose struggled with cognitive limitations that modern medicine would recognise as a developmental disability. When she fixated on Guy Berry, a neighbours son who showed her kindness, Ceely constructed an elaborate fantasy of their engagement. Her family's attempts to discourage these delusions became, in her warped perception, obstacles to be eliminated.Today, the former Rose property is part of Malabar Farm State Park, where visitors report paranormal encounters and strange phenomena. But beyond the ghost stories lies a deeper tragedy about a society that failed to understand mental disability, and a young woman trapped between adult emotions and childlike comprehension. Follow the clue trail into this complex case where the true mystery isn't who committed the crime, but who Ceely Rose really was beneath the labels society placed upon her.Support the show
