Eli Stutzman- The Amish Serial Killer
On Christmas Eve, 1985, a Nebraska farmer stumbled upon a heartbreaking mystery: the frozen body of a little boy in blue pajamas, forever known as Little Boy Blue. But who was he—and how did he end up abandoned in a roadside ditch?
This episode unravels the shocking story of Eli Stutzman, a former Amishman whose charm hid a dark and violent truth. From a troubled childhood in Ohio to a string of suspicious deaths and, ultimately, the betrayal of his own son, Stutzman’s story is one of manipulation, murder, and secrets buried deep within Amish country and beyond.
