00:00Talk to me, I'm lonely. I've been looking after all of you for years.
00:09When neighbors saw the dolls staring out her window,
00:13they didn't realize one of them wasn't a doll.
00:20Pretoria East, 2014.
00:24Marlene de Klerk was a retired nurse.
00:26New toys to play with and new books to read now.
00:29If only I could find a little friend.
00:3162. Quiet. Polite.
00:35A woman who filled her loneliness with porcelain.

00:43My only friends in the world.
00:45Her home was a shrine to them.
00:47Hundreds lined the walls, immaculate, identical, and somehow watchful.
00:53Listen, my sister was an odd duck with her own demons,
00:56but she didn't deserve what happened to her.
00:58It was just so brutal.
01:01One night, she locked her door and was never seen alive again.
01:05At first, nothing seemed strange.
01:08She often kept to herself.
01:10But after five days, a smell began creeping into the street.
01:14I mean, can you smell it?
01:16It's coming from Marlene's place and it smells like something is going off or has died under her house.
01:22What the bloody hell stinks that like?
01:26Marlene must have something dead under her house.
01:28Oh you, I mean, can you see Dr.
01:28I mean Iisionss.
