Eight-year-old Elizabeth Struhs had Type 1 diabetes—a condition that’s manageable with proper care. But her parents, guided by a fringe religious sect called The Saints, chose prayer over medicine. Over six days, Elizabeth’s health deteriorated. No one called for help. And by the time they did—it was far too late.
In this episode of ClueTrail, we take you inside the tragedy that shook Australia. You’ll hear the story of Elizabeth’s final days, the ideology behind The Saints, and the courtroom reckoning that followed.
This is the story of Elizabeth Struhs. And the community that let her die.
