A new investigation from BuzzFeed News assembles allegations of horrifying abuse — possibly including murder — at a former Catholic orphanage in Burlington. We’re talking to the report’s author about what she uncovered.
Christine Kenneally’s new BuzzFeed investigation is “We Saw Nuns Kill Children: The Ghosts of St. Joseph’s Catholic Orphanage.” Over several years of research, Kenneally spoke to people who’d lived at the orphanage as children and attempted to corroborate their accounts of alleged abuse with documents and with evidence presented in a series of lawsuits in the 1990s.
