On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Liz and Katie talk about the horrendous crime that was committed by a 37-year-old, mentally ill man by the name of Mark Bechard. On the evening of January 27th, 1996 in Waterville, Maine, a service at the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament had just ended when Bechard broke into the convent in which nine nuns lived and were going about their evening. Immediately, he attacked four of the nuns that were present, beating them with canes and even a religious statue, stabbing them and stomping on their bodies. As a result of this horrifying ordeal, three nuns were killed, and a fourth was left paralyzed on one side of her body due to her injuries. Mark Bechard was taken into custody and ultimately found not criminally responsible due to mental illness. Don't forget to enter our giveaway!
