Tonight, Sylvia Shultz talks about Rhoda Derry, a woman who spent 44 years in darkness, locked in a Utica crib. Her life was a tragic tale of abandonment and madness, where she clawed out her own eyes and pulled her teeth. It's a story that, honestly, feels heavy and grim without much hope.
Rhoda's fate was sealed by falling in love, leading to her confinement. Eventually, she found some peace at Peoria State Hospital, but her story remains one of despair. Just another reminder of how cruel the world can be.
