Hi there! Welcome to Murder Mystery Motherland. I’m Crystal Ezeoke, and I’ll be taking you through notorious true‑crime cases and unsolved mysteries from the African diaspora.

What if the people who promised to protect you were the ones who caused the most harm? Victoria’s parents dreamed of a better life for her in Europe, sending her away with a relative they trusted.

But the woman, Marie-Therese, who promised Victoria education and opportunity, actually trapped her in a nightmare. Imagine being an eight-year-old girl, alone in a foreign country, with no one to turn to. Victoria trusted her great-aunt, but that trust was betrayed in the worst way possible.

Content warning: This episode covers severe child abuse and torture, child death, spiritual/religious abuse, and systemic negligence. Viewer discretion is advised.
