Munchausen By Proxy - The case of Tanya Thaxton Reid

Melissa Stefanie

This week, we're bringing you a crime case from our own Weirdster home town in Iowa! Medical staff at Blank Children's Hospital started to become suspicious when Tanya  began bringing her two year old son in for repeated apneic episodes and seizures. She was then accused of inducing the terrifying symptoms herself in what professionals believed to be a case of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. But, what they didn't realize at first is that Tanya had been keeping from them a dark secret that would cement her fate.
