Lila and William Young seemed like a match made in heaven. With no children of their own, the couple started the Ideal Maternity Home in the late 1920s in East Chester, Nova Scotia, as a safe haven for unwed women to deliver their babies in secret. In return, Lila and William gave the babies to a good home with adoptive parents. But this was all just a front for greed, lies, and murder. And hundreds of infants would become known as the Butterbox Babies.Listen as Chelle and Lisa dive into this case of dark Canadian history on Whose Crime is it Anyway?If you want to support our show, you can now buy us a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/whosecrimepod
